Earlier this week, Prime Minister Carney announced his plans to privatize Canada’s largest airports. So, I went to YVR to ask Canadians what they think (spoiler: they don’t share his enthusiasm).

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life. This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.  Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Here’s just one of the unprecedented measures the Liberals pushed through at the end of this session: Cabinet ministers will now be allowed to authorize the use of banned pesticides in the name of “national economic security.” Even if they’ve been deemed unsafe for human health. Debate was shut down, and scientists, public health and environmental experts were not allowed to testify before the bill was passed. Another gift to powerful corporations at the expense of Canadians. Legislation by lobbyists. cbc.ca/news/politics/bill-c-…

#BREAKING: The Ford government just scheduled late-night sittings – until midnight – to ram through FOI changes. Just when you thought this government couldn’t get any worse, they’re now scheduling late night sittings to quietly change the rules, hoping to keep Ontarians in the dark.
Doug Ford uses his phone for government business. The courts ordered him to release his phone records – so now he’s changing the law so he never has to. What is Doug Ford hiding?

Canada shouldn’t have a "blind spot" for arms exports. I’m calling on all MPs to support my Bill #C233 to close the loophole on military exports. We need consistency & transparency to protect human rights. Debate: March 9 Vote: March 11 Watch & share piped.video/watch?v=oTSCJ4U1…
