A lot of Democrats hate leftists more than they hate fascists.

Canada exported armoured vehicles to ICE as its agents gun down citizens in the street. A mother. A nurse. When we sell tools of repression and violence, we own the consequences. buff.ly/1tBfthd

Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else. I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada. noraloreto.substack.com/p/canadian-b...

Rest in peace, Michael Parenti. 🫶🏼

Just checking in on this.

Reminders: * Palantir is also complicit in Gaza. * The president of Palantir Canada is a member of Carney's council on Canada-US relations. * Carney's government is partnering with Cohere, which is closely linked to Palantir.

In Ontario, if it seems like the hospitals themselves are malignant, you're not wrong. Hospital CEOs in Ontario are getting rich ushering in privatization. The CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association was Mike Harris' spokesperson and worked with convicted fraud, Jaime Watt, at Navigator.

We been called conspiracy theorists in order to disparage our work. We report, regularly, on a vast conspiracy in Ontario to bankrupt the province, end public education and end public healthcare. We bring the receipts. Corruption is made up of collusion and conspiracy. www.corruptario.ca

I wrote about globalizing the intifada, how way more Palestinians died during the two Intifadas than Israelis, and how Canadian media is working overtime to give cops the tools to criminalize free speech. My last piece for 2025. noraloreto.substack.com/p/criminaliz...

Big Business Is Pushing Mark Carney For More Handouts www.readthemaple.com/big-business...

I would offer that being an expert in business, might actually be the worst possible qualification for a politician when it comes to making decisions for actual citizens and the environment.

$65B (billion) of healthcare funding in Ontario has gone missing. Over five years, at least. The Auditor General has no idea where it went, so it wasn't audited. Oh, you didn't know? That's #CdnMediaColludes doing a good job. www.corruptario.ca/what-the-ags...

I wrote about Marx, the Social Character of Labour, and LLMs beerandfreedom.substack.com/p/marx-the-s...

In an article in Canada’s National Observer, @hadrianmk.bsky.social, a senior researcher with @policyalternatives.ca, wrote: “In many respects, this is the most harmful budget from a climate perspective since the Harper era.” #Budget2025 www.timescolonist.com/opinion/trev...

“This stark geographic division is a reflection of how the logic of #capitalism does more than just sort income: it fundamentally shapes how we perceive, value, and speak about our social world.” open.substack.com/pub/beerandf... #Muskoka

Liberals literally recruiting Conservatives with their budget

"The liberal class in a capitalist democracy is designed to function as a safety valve. It makes possible incremental reform. But, at the same time, it does not challenge or question the foundations of power." Trump’s Greatest Ally is The Democratic Party open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

My book club @beerandfreedom.bsky.social is doing a deep dive on Marx's theory of alienation so I decided to write a very straightforward and accessible overview of the concept. This could be a good one for the Marx-curious out there. open.substack.com/pub/beerandf...

Hey Ontario. Please pay attention to this. It's fucking terrifying. As a renter I rely on rent control in order to, you know, LIVE, and this threatens to take it away from me and most people I know. Write to your MPP. Call Ford's office. I don't even know what to think right now. Fuck Ford, man.

Yes. Rejecting ingratiating fascists is literally the most basic, bottom of the barrel red line, you can hold. But hey we can just keep on like this with this scumbag and then Canadians can go work for ICE right

Police Involvement With Pro-Israel Charity Raises Concerns www.readthemaple.com/police-invol...

Remember: when politicians say “red tape,” they mean “environmental and safety regulations and/or agreements with Indigenous communities.” Not feeling great about being unable to distinguish Mark Carney’s statements from Doug Ford’s 😐

NEW: The Carney government invited President of The Heritage Foundation, those behind Project 2025 to address cabinet. Though the ostensible reason was to gain insight on approaching US trade talks, a deeper look reveals far more. Carney's policies uncomfortably echo Project 2025. #cdnpoli

While most countries in the world honour May Day for working class & labour struggles, countries like US and Canada celebrate Labour Day as part of pacification (& anti-migrant) campaign bringing message of "coexistence" btwn capital and labour after Haymarket Massacre (1886) & Pullmam strike (1894)

Carney & Canada's statements on Gaza are completely vacuous & shameless Gaza doesnt need Canada's pity. Canada is still arming Israel. Canada must implement full and immediate arms embargo. And sanction Israel. And suspend all military and trade agreements. Escalate to break imperialist consensus

Working on a scheme to help injured Palestinian kids travel freely to and from America for treatment by disguising them as Israeli pedophiles.

Carney’s first 100 days: Unpacking the new prime minister’s ‘disappointing move to the right’ with @lindamcquaig.bsky.social. From backtracking on the Digital Services Tax, to his disappointing response to #Gaza, she says Carney has repeatedly capitulated to Trump. ricochet.media/politics/car...

Canada claims it's stopped sending weapons to Israel. But much like Canada's claims of peacekeeping & multiculturalism & reconciliation, it's all LIES. There's a continuous, massive pipeline of Canadian weapons flowing directly to Israel. Including 421,070 bullets. armsembargonow.ca/report/

New from me! "Canada’s economy worships at the altar of death. Necrocapitalism is ... telling Canadians that their salvation is brought to them by the letters L, N and G." noraloreto.substack.com/p/dont-breat...

Mark Carney is slashing public service, supercharging military spending, and ramming through a right-wing agenda—while Liberal voters stay stuck in denial. Martin Lukacs says it’s time to clue in to what’s happening, follow the money—and put up a fight. breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys...

I started a bookclub and our next book is Walkaway by Cory Doctorow We are meeting tonight to discuss the last set of readings (mix of Peter Gelderloos, Kropotkin, Proudhon, and Malatesta) I'm painfully shy and awkward but so glad I forced myself to start this. 8 members so far, and growing!

"We need revolution. Can you have a peaceful revolution? I don't know" - David Suzuki The climate crisis is the defining challenge that should be uniting the "left" and motivating us to resolve our differences Capitalism can't innovate us out of this and parliamentary politics has shown its hand

Carney’s government has been rolling out the red carpet for tech investment. They killed a capital gains tax increase, are limiting AI regulations, planning AI-enabled austerity, and now have killed the digital services tax all to placate tech executives. www.disconnect.blog/p/mark-carne...

Happy birthday, Emma Goldman!

Just happen to have this in front of me "In their reluctance to continue the civil war opened by Thiers' burglarious attempt on Montmartre, the Central Committee made themselves, this time, guilty of a decisive mistake in not at once marching upon Versailles, then completely helpless..." Unrelated

If you still believe there are different political parties and they "oppose" each other, I don't know what to tell you. Democracy is in our rear view mirror.
