the left has offered solutions: -raising wages -universal healthcare -affordable housing -universal childcare -paid parental leave -action to mitigate the climate crisis if only our leaders supported these wildly popular solutions. people don’t want kids in a world we’re struggling to survive in.

As birthrates tumble, some progressives say the left needs to offer ideas and solutions
The US and other countries face aging, shrinking populations. Conservatives have shaped debate over the issue. Some liberals say it's time for progressives to weigh in.

Kinda weird how Carney's jetting all over the world to make trade deals, ostensibly to reduce our ties to the US, meanwhile there's been absolutely no discussion of reducing foreign ownership of our news media. Post Media is primarily owned by a US hedge fund with ties to the Republican Party.

You may have received a letter from the city if you live in an older, multi-residential building, saying that you qualify for a rent reduction. This is because the city changed the property tax class for buildings like yours, and the savings are supposed to be passed down to tenants.

The city is telling some tenants to pay less rent. Their landlords say otherwise | CBC News
Tenants who live in older Ottawa apartment buildings were supposed to see a slight automatic drop in their rent at the start of 2026. But many are left wondering if they should actually pay less after...

I will accept no moral high ground from a government that refuses to ban a platform that is actively, in real time, right in front of our faces, creating child sexual abuse materials. They're not banning it and there are still government departments with official Twitter accounts. Fuck Carney.

Not pissing off Elon Musk and Canada’s right-wing tech bros is far more important to Evan Solomon than protecting Canadians from deepfake sexual abuse and acting on child sexual abuse material.

if you are still on X i don’t trust you. you would hide out in a zombie apocalypse. you would get me killed in a revolution. you would wait until the nazis are losing before you decide you’re against them. you will do anything to avoid making hard decisions. this one isn’t hard. get it together.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

two major factors come to mind: 1. Elon has a personal history of committing sexual violence, so this isn't a big deal to him. it probably makes him happy. 2. widespread violence against women and girls is foundational to the US fascist political project

Again, what ICE does EVERY DAY is devastate relationships and destroy people. This is their job. Rage for Renee needs to not mark her murder as especially egregious because of her citizenship status. Rather, this was an escalation of force in the defense of a massive project of ethnic cleansing.

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.
