On @leadnowca.bsky.social NDP leaders' debate, @desmondcole.bsky.social asks Ashton whether he supports granting PR to all migrants currently in Canada. Ashton says he supports a PATHWAY to permanent residency. This is *not* regularization. This is *not* the demand of the migrant justice movement.

coz often people invoke me and my book in online scraps about "where were you when..." and to chastize those newly organizing: I'm not interested in whataboutism & disparaging ppl. As an organizer, I appreciate ppl are joining, and I hope my work is of service. Stay in the struggle & keep building.

“nostalgia is not a strategy” ok, what do you call building bitumen pipelines and decade old lng projects then?

The NDP needs rebuilding and renewal, and Avi Lewis is its best hope at both. I'll be voting for him enthusiastically in March and I strongly encourage everyone to do the same. www.lukewsavage.com/p/why-im-sup...

ICYMI - My latest for The Breach. When I first started critiquing the framework of economic reconciliation, I spoke with many Indigenous leaders who agreed with me, but were too scared to speak out due to backlash.

Was honoured to host this conversation between Mostafa Henaway and @avilewis.ca yesterday on #InternationalMigrantsDay. Migrants aren't to blame for making your life unaffordable— billionaires are. When we turn against each other, they win and we all lose. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzwD...

We need an NDP that's willing to take on the corporate oligarchs in this country and use public ownership to actually deliver for working people— lowering costs for groceries, telecoms, housing, banking, and pharma. @avilewis.ca has a plan for that 👇 lewisforleader.ca/ideas/public...

can't think of anything more embarrassing and quintessentially Canadian than thinking this man's gonna save us from U.S empire

Organizer @emma-jackson.bsky.social is giving us a window into Alberta organizing, and the tasks head for the climate justice movement. Watch our live election coverage: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U-w...

Mark Carney's gonna ruin (privatize) the term industrial strategy, isn't he?

begging the federal NDP to do politics instead of peddling t-shirts for once.

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” -Mike Davis

organizing gets the goods

The Breach: A dark future for Canadian drug policy is being designed in the prairies

remember when everyone spent weeks arguing about how israel would never bomb a hospital and since then they’ve just been bombing hospitals and schools every day

As an undergrad student, I once had to explain to the man who's about to be sworn in as our new Finance Minister that pipelines have to be paid for over time and therefore lock us into future production 🫠 He said he had "never thought about it that way"

"Of course, elections should not be our only — or even our primary — tool to build power. But given the fact that our power is limited and our opponents are so well-funded, we can’t afford to leave any tool on the table." @mauricewfp.bsky.social inthesetimes.com/article/ball...
