Rich flight has been shown in study after study to be largely a myth. There is no argument against a wealth tax, higher marginal rate on highest earners or a higher capital gains inclusion rate, which by the way was 75% before Chretien\Martin slashed it to 50%

As you read the Avi Lewis is the end of the world prophecies, remember:

The pundit and columnist class meltdown from folks who have never supported the NDP honestly suggests to me that the NDP is doing something significant that’s worth paying attention to. Those who defend power tend to screech the loudest when power is genuinely threatened.

CBC News Pitchbot: "Avi Lewis was just elected leader of the federal NDP; is Canada really ready for Communism?"

Yeah, that was a fucking great speech. The new NDP leader, folks. Avi Lewis.

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

It should not be overlooked that a huge reason for the financially crippling student loan industry in the U.S. is to force young people into lifetime indentured servitude, then to give them an out of joining the military.

Any governing system that exalts the wielding of power for its own sake over peace, order, and good governance is bound to wind up here eventually - blindly upholding the right of a psycho to fuck children.

US officials tell The Post they no longer believe it is possible to achieve the war's original goals of overthrowing the Iranian regime and putting its nuclear program permanently out of reach, so $2billion later, the new goal is to reopen the Strait of Hormuz closed by the war.

So not only did Avi Lewis’s NDP leadership campaign raise more money with a higher number of donations than all of his leadership rivals combined, but McPherson and Ashton received a greater proportion of their fundraising totals from donations greater than $1,000.

Canada found the Grassy Mountain coal project in Alberta too toxic to proceed so the Oz mining corp is suing Canada for the loss of its future profits. ISDS disputes are toxic & exist to allow rich people/corps to make taxpayers pay for not allowing them free reign to pollute a foreign country.

Danielle Smith, who removed existing restrictions on corp donations during the election period and lowered the bar on AB separation referendum conditions is seeking national security clearance from CSIS. Ha! Nice photo of 3 people who don't like Canada and call for closer integration with the U.S.

Well, hello Alberta! EKOS, Vote intention by region.

The manifesto's central view was that the world is in a climate crisis and burning fossil fuels is making it worse. It urged a complete transition away from fossil fuels and an adoption of renewable power sources. I’m sorry Alberta but that’s completely true. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In contrast to Doug Ford's endorsement of the US/Israel war on Iran yesterday, MB Premier Wab Kinew says "kids are being killed for no reason and even the Trump administration cannot explain why they're at war in Iran right now and it seems like the Epstein files is as good a reason as any."

Doug Ford on Iran: "I think the US and Israel are doing the right thing ... we have to bring peace to the Middle East. I encourage them to keep going."

Canada’s Richest 1% Nearly As Wealthy As Poorest 80% www.readthemaple.com/canadas-rich...

Canada has around 28 and a half million registered voters. The current NDP leadership campaign has raised the number of NDP members from 60K to 100K. That is around one-third of 1% of registered voters. Gods but that's depressing.

Here's my latest! What it looks like to be on CBC's blacklist. (With @wickdchiq.bsky.social and so many others). noraloreto.substack.com/p/who-is-on-...

15 years ago Senator Lindsey Graham was up in Canada to speak at the Halifax International Security Forum. He pitched a pre-emptive strike on Iran to "sink their navy & destroy their air force" to Condi Rice, assorted ministers from Israeli Defence & American Enterprise Institute, and Mark Carney.

FFS the issue is Israel not Judaism. Sadly though those who tell us opposition to Israel's crimes amounts to antisemitism puts all Jews in danger, but Zionists don't give a damn because theirs is a colonial project, not a religious one.

Nazi Germany was bombed non-stop for two years. Never once did the people rise up in numbers to overthrow a brutal, genocidal regime. Almost half a million died in the ground war in Berlin. They literally continued to fight in the ruins long after it was clear they had lost. Don't expect different.

Well there's your problem right there

The gasoline stored in pumps right now sells for much more than before the war started. But it was refined weeks ago, from oil extracted months ago. And Canada produces four times as much as we consume. We don’t need Middle East oil. www.thestar.com/business/opi...

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast Former Indian FM: “US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute”

The Prime Minister of Spain on FB 3 hours ago. This is how a responsible leader responds to yet another illegal war to destabilize yet another country:

"We engage in the world as it is, not as we wish it to be," said Energy Min Tim Hodgson in his keynote to a major internat'l mining conference in Toronto. "Attacks underscore the need to develop Canada's natural resources." Sure, 165 Iranian school girls & staff were killed but there's an upside

“But Canada cannot endorse the unilateral and illegal use of military force, the killing of civilians or the kidnap and assassination of foreign heads of government while also insisting that our sovereignty, our rights and our independence must be respected.”

With Gaza winding down Bibi needed a new war to stay out of jail and Trump needed a distraction from Epstein. A co-dependent match made in heaven.

Professor Pape: "This morning I was asked on Boston radio about the US–Israel strikes on Iran. Here is the strategic reality most people are missing: Airpower alone has never produced positive regime change. I don’t mean rarely. I mean NEVER."

Here is @ndp.ca’s statement condemning US-Israeli military strikes in Iran and calling on the Carney government to defend international law

It’s wild watching non-academics who clearly, at the time, misinterpreted Carney’s Davos speech in the same way I did — as him professing he’d stand up to a bully, not simply focus purely on Canada’s pragmatic self-interest— who are now pretending they knew the true nature of the speech all along.

Carney and Poilievre release more or less identical statements on 1)defending the US and Israel from Iran, and 2)preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. I guess the US isn't even bothering with bs about WMDs anymore bc there is no evidence Iran is able to weaponize enriched uranium.

It's not like he didn't warn us ... Trump on July 27, 2024: "Christians, get out and vote just this time - you won't have to do it anymore - four more years you know what? it'll be fixed, it'll be fine."

The life's work of anyone who gives a damn about humanity is to resist the economic elite, demand the taxes that reduce their power and defend the space in which the rest of us can thrive. If your "elected representatives" aren't helping with that, they are not your representatives, but theirs.

So the 197 immigrants who moved to Alberta last fall from outside the country are somehow too many and are taking jobs away from Albertans, yet Smith whined at Trudeau that Alberta had not received the 14,000 immigrants and temporary workers that she had asked for 2024, or the 14,700 for 2025.
