I had the privilege of addressing over 300 students in Ottawa about Doug Fords cuts to OSAP, and the fight we have to win. I ended with a pretty simple message: Fuck Doug Ford

I wrote for @rabble.ca, that it’s time the NDP reject the false option of movementism or electoralism. The future of the NDP might actually be a mass party. rabble.ca/politics/can...

It is great news that the city is buying the hotel at Gladstone + O’Connor to use as transitional housing for families — many of whom are currently holed up in awful motel rooms. These suites have full kitchens and the building is close to schools, the Y and transit. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

The fundamental problem for the left is that the right is hyperstitious, and the left believes in the certainty of its own failure

Jake Sanderson says in a People's magazine article that he'd be accepting of a Gay teammate. "I don’t think we would treat them any differently. They’re our teammate, we love them no matter what, and obviously embrace them, absolutely.” people.com/nhl-jake-san...

The left doesn’t have a policy problem—it has a power problem. Shifting intellectual firepower from wonkery to collective action means rebuilding parties as more than just electoral brands, writes @aliterrenoire.bsky.social.

Writing for the Fulcrum, Curtis Metcalf argues that considering the rise in hate speech, digital sexual violence, and pathetically low engagement rates, it is time @uottawa.ca leave X. thefulcrum.ca/opinions/uni...

Wit respect to Neil, and I have quite a bit, I don’t fully understand this decision. We already have a principled, experienced, and progressive challenger to Sutcliffe in @jleiper.bsky.social Risking splitting the vote, especially in an election this important is bizarre

“The sens lose!” You foolish lackeys! Your “loses” are built on sand. Tomorrow the sens will “rise up again, clashing their sticks,” and to your horror they will proclaim with trumpets blazing: I was, I am, I shall be!

Labor vs. Fascism. Oakland dockworkers of ILWU Local 34 honor Renee Good by spelling her name on a cargo ship.

Ive been asking myself lately how we’re meant to bear everything going on, especially as a student. I had the privilege of publishing some of my thoughts in the Fulcrum. I would be honoured if you gave it a read. Ultimately, I conclude, it comes down to conviction. thefulcrum.ca/opinions/how...

canadian political media is so useless. after manufacturing a news cycle about whether there would be an election over christmas, they took the holidays off and now they’re back to manufacturing a news cycle about whether there will be an election in the next couple months.

Trump could be impeached and the democrats could be elected tomorrow, it shouldn’t matter. The Canadian-american relationship is over.

Zohran Mamdani’s win in New York has inspired the Left far beyond the city. But in Canada, as elsewhere, trying to replicate his style without rebuilding the institutions and political cadre that made it possible is a dead end.

Canadian leftists have been obsessed with emulating the Mamdani moment, without understanding what made it happen. You can read more about what Canadian socialists can actually learn from Mamdani in my piece for @jacobinmag.bsky.social below.

At this point, I can’t understand why any international traveller would visit the US Even if you think you’re not at risk, you could get caught in the crossfire of ICE gunning people down in residential streets or have masked gunmen storm your restaurant and haul kitchen staff away as you eat lunch

“I want to try Bluesky, struggling to find non-politics on it” “Have you considered you suck”

Going to try using Bluesky instead of Twitter, my issue is that besides politics almost none of my interests are represented here.

Canadian conservatives are such horrifying losers

Donald Trump literally calls the illegal invasion of Venezuela a “precise attack on sovereignty” in his address. How every country in the world doesn’t condemn such an action is unfathomable.

AI is being used to strip workers, women, children, artists, and communities of their autonomy. Meanwhile Mark Carneys AI Minister, is more interested in rubbing shoulders with tech billionaires than regulating. Our NDP will take on AI with people-first policy.

The food we eat isn’t meant for human health anymore, it’s meant for profit. They break our bodies at work, fill our lives with AI-generated algorithms meant to dumb us down, and feed us slop at home. It’s time to fight back. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
