He even looks disappointed in himself after he says it. So gross.

Ryan DOES pay too much, because of unfair legal rules allowing MB landlords to permanently jack up rents and their profits by claiming to pass on temporary repair costs to renters. Minister Sandhu and the NDP govt needs to fulfill their promise to end outrageous rent hikes & protect tenants.

Huge news! 🎉 Giller Prize, one of Canada's largest literary prizes, has cut ties with lead sponsor Scotiabank after one year of literary community protesting the bank’s ties to Elbit, Israeli arms manufacturer. BDS works! We have power wherever we are. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/a...

and, as always, some of the most targeted during resurgences of economic nationalism and economic protectionism are migrants (esp migrant workers and refugees). this is *exactly* what the stabilization of capitalism requires. because insourcing & outsourcing are flipsides of the same capitalist coin

Really concerned that the primary Canadian reaction to tariffs seems to be doubling down on nationalism and capitalism. Other worlds are possible ⤵️

There have to be other ways to talk about political community inside nation-states without invoking nationalism. How about collective responsibility to those whom we share nothing in common with beyond the sanctity of life and geography? Let’s take the opportunity to invent new social relations.

My dream last night: I had a with work meeting (I coordinate a federally funded research grant). Justin Trudeau stopped by, and with his shirt sleeves rolled up and tears in his eyes, he told us that all federal funding was over and I lost my job... A premonition of things to come in Canada??

It's feeling like a very 2010's past couple of days. Went to an Owen Pallett show last night AND started a new social media platform where we're all new here (👋) and blissfully figuring it out together. Cute.
