Canada received Tuesday’s Fossil of the Day award at the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil. The award, bestowed by Climate Action Network International, recognizes the country deemed to have done the most each day to slow down global progress in response to climate change.

CAN International chose Canada “with a heavy heart,” the network said in a release, “because the new government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has flushed years of climate policies down the drain, and is completely ‘Missing In Action’ at a COP where multilateralism needs to be saved. In addition to the backsliding on policies tackling Canada’s climate-destroying pollution, his Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin has chosen inaction and silence where leadership was urgently needed.”

On the domestic front, the release adds, the Carney government has “systematically dismantled a decade of progress” in climate policy.

A snowplow owned by a major city contractor deliberately drove into a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters in Toronto. Video evidence clearly shows the truck pushing through the demonstration. Despite this being a blatant act of vehicular assault with clear political motivation, police have astonishingly declared no charges will be laid, effectively ignoring a blatant act of terrorism.

Alberta moves to violate people's rights, using a loophole in the Canadian constitution...for the second time in a matter of weeks.

Danielle Smith says the courts should do better otherwise, "they're going to see more legislatures take the action that we did."

Also, she defends the move with a bizarre statement about "protecting kids rights to have babies." Seems like right wing pronatalism bunk - why is it okay for the state to be deciding for individuals that this is the most important thing?

Today I heard the 2nd of this year's Canadian Massey lectures, on the threats to human rights.

On the same day that Alberta suspended Canada's Charter of Human Rights in order to attack transgender people. They know that their vicious attack contravenes the Charter, which is why they suspended it even before the Supreme Courts hears a case.

We are all in danger here. We have to stop our governments from making this the norm.

The UK is considering withdrawing from the European Convention on human rights. Soon, none of us will be safe.

It's all in the name of taking rights away from others, but we are all "others" to someone if we do not unite in solidarity and stop this.

A new report reveals one-in-five Canadian immigrants leave within 25 years, with the exodus peaking at five years. The most highly educated, like those with doctorates and experienced managers, are over twice as likely to depart, often due to stagnant job prospects. The very people with global expertise needed to build infrastructure and grow businesses are the ones leaving fastest.

@chris I seriously do not want another election, but if a single #NDP MP votes for this budget then they might as well just cross the aisle. This budget deserves to fail, and honestly it might be worth triggering another election.

The priorities of this budget are wildly misaligned with what voters signed on to when they elected the Liberals earlier this year.

Carney's minority government needs opposition votes — or abstentions — to pass the budget

CBC reporting that Elizabeth May has said she will be voting for the budget tonight. Which means the Liberals only need one more vote for it to pass, or for two MPs to abstain.

Seems unlikely we will have an election from this budget vote... but you never know!

Richard Falk, 95, the former UN special rapporteur who spent years documenting Israeli abuses in the occupied territories, says he and his wife, legal scholar Hilal Elver, were detained and questioned for more than four hours at Toronto Pearson airport on Thursday.

He said border agents told him they needed to determine whether he and his wife were a national security threat to Canada.

Carney government scrapping #greenwashing rules via 2025 federal budget. It's "being framed as necessary to reduce “investment uncertainty".

🚨👉🏻 i.e. Scrapping the "rules that gave Canadians a private right of action against deceptive marketing and required companies to substantiate their environmental claims"

⚖️ "The law is [has been] working as intended, curbing unsubstantiated claims and restoring credibility to the marketplace"
