CBCWas Battle River-Crowfoot the last hurrah for the long ballot protest? | CBC NewsElectoral reform advocates known as the Longest Ballot Committee helped field the largest number of candidates in Canadian history for Monday’s byelection. But politicians are starting to look at ways to crack down on such protests.

too bad she didn't win against Poilievre, especially as he came out on his first day back with a queerphobic tirade. and I mean, her politics are not my politics but you can tell she has connections to her community and has contributed deeply there, unlike Mr. parachute candidate.

Project de loi C-2 : « Renforcer la coopération avec un gouvernement américain qui tient pour acquis que les demandeurs d’asile, pourtant protégés par les conventions internationales, sont des « immigrants illégaux », ce n’est pas lutter contre le crime, c’est plutôt coopérer avec des gens qui déterminent à leur fantaisie ce qui constitue un comportement criminel. » #canpoli #polcan

Le Devoir · À la merci de la police de TrumpEst-il raisonnable de permettre à la police américaine d’obtenir des informations sur des personnes en sol canadien?

Update: Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre won the Battle River—Crowfoot byelection yesterday with 80.4% of the vote and will return to Parliament when it reopens on Sept. 15. The result was expected, since the region is one of the safest blue seats in the country. Conservative Damien Kurek won 83% of the vote at the last general election before stepping down so that Poilievre could stand in a byelection. Here's more from @cbcnews on what happens next.

Sharing this rant to #EndFossilFuels again since *after* I made this, *another* fire (#underwoodFire) started even closer to #PortAlberni. Like so many other towns this year, it has threatened all of our homes and lives.

There is blame to lay: it is at the feet of the fossil fuel industry.

To every person in Canada, including oil industry workers:

We must transition people out of this destructive work at a wartime pace. We can do it, we just have to want to help each other end fossil fuels as soon as possible.
