The Carney government is sending reps to participate in Washington's international summit to target anti-fascists as a major terrorism threat. Meanwhile PM Carney refuses to say anything about a Canadian judge being targeted for sanctions for investigating war crimes. For fuck's sake.

“Giving Canadians more money to pay for groceries simply provides Canada’s grocery monopolies extra incentive to raise their prices, as we saw with the CERB during COVID. “Canada needs to address corporate greed if we want long-term relief from rampant food inflation.”

Canada's new grocery benefit does nothing to address the root cause of high food prices: corporate greed

The Government of Canada is intentionally turning up the heat (while communities burn to the ground) for the sake of quarterly reports. Somehow the majority of Canadians are cheering.

If Liberals were truly concerned about homes sitting empty - why did they just eliminate the federal Underused Housing Tax in their Budget? That tax charged 1% on homes sitting vacant or underused owned primarily by foreign nationals. Spoiler alert: because developers wanted them to.

The Canada Health Act exists to stop exactly this. Smith is attacking Medicare, but Carney and his Health Minister are not just missing, they are refusing to enforce the law and defend public health care. Smith may be leading the charge, but Carney is letting it happen.

NDP leadership candidate Avi Lewis says socialism, defined by bold public solutions, not managerial caution, can rebuild the party after historic losses. He’s betting it can unite a majority across divided regions and broaden the party’s coalition.

Under my leadership, the next time the NDP holds the balance of power in parliament, we’ll have one demand: proportional representation. Sous ma direction, la prochaine fois que le NPD détiendra la balance du pouvoir au Parlement, nous n'aurons qu'une exigence : la représentation proportionnelle.

Canadian pals! This is my PSA. You have til the end of the month to join the NDP as a member and when you do, you can vote in the leadership race. Which means you will get the chance to cast a ballot for my fearless friend @avilewis.ca. Don't sleep on this historic opportunity.
