Mark Carney wants Canada to be more European, but that doesn’t mean ensuring the Canadian public has pharmacare like they do in Europe.

There will be no new federal funding for pharmacare. Provinces and territories will have to go it alone. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... @policyalternatives.ca

Capital gains tax loophole will cost Canada $36.9B this year, mostly benefitting the wealthiest 1.5%. (over 60% of the benefit goes to those making more than 1/4 mill $ a year) A universal, single-payer pharmacare program would cost only $11.2B in its first year, rising to $13.4 billion in five.

Incredible this is what they come up with. You don't even need a giant imagination for basic stuff like "let's use this windfall to invest in clean energy". Alberta is the only place in the world that has this kind of brain worms.

social housing units built by year in Canada, 1972-2010 - by number of units - as % of all housing built

I learned a lot in the research for this and I'm proud of the episode we put together. Reactionary cultural framing of childhood and family life can make it hard to talk about trans issues productively w/o unpacking a lot of that first. We try to do that here.

Francesca Albanese has been a persistent voice of moral clarity in response to the Gaza genocide, and she is being targeted for her courage. Debanking—which consists of banks, payment platforms, and/or credit cards refusing to give you an account—is not an uncommon experience for critics of Israel.

To see and experience the broad spectrum that transness presents is to see what is possible for ourselves. Witnessing that in practice benefits everyone. Trans people present the possibility of a better life. And that extends beyond literal transness. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

ohno

Nenshi's comments will be most popular with people who will never vote for him. Very sound strategy.

The UCP is going to continue to link Nenshi to Avi Lewis. So now Nenshi’s number one messaging for the ABNDP has to be “we are not like the NDP!” It can’t lose

Everything about how we exist in society is a political choice. Continuing to allow people to be unhoused is a political choice. Unchecked grocery prices? A political choice. Potholes - political choice. Yeah, things must be weighed etc etc, but these are choices and we can demand better ones.
