Kinda telling that Trudeau wants to take credit for most of the things the NDP and Jagmeet Singh fought for (dental care, child care etc) and the Liberals fought against

Below is my statement on Justin Trudeau’s resignation. If you oppose callous Conservative cuts. If you oppose the rich getting richer while everyone else falls further behind. Stand with the NDP this time:

Facebook is a social cancer. Our governments should be targeting it with much stricter regulation to make it abide by our norms and values — or have it leave our markets entirely. The days of Mark Zuckerberg shaping discourse and controlling communication must end.

I’d argue this is because Poilievre is cosplaying as caring about the working class with all his talk about affordability and housing. The problem is that if you actually listen to him, the solution he offers is trickle down economics. But the Liberals are like “nah the economy is fine”

Grifters going to grift. But treason is treason. We should be launching an investigation under the foreign interference act over this attempt to sell out our nation.

Alberta wants tech companies to build massive AI data centers in the province — and power them with natural gas instead of renewables so its oil and gas industry has a new market for its product.

The 300 Whole Foods workers forming a historic union in Philly know what they're up against. They called out "the company’s thirst for profits" and said management talks about the store bringing in $1.6 million in a matter of days while workers struggle.

The Centretown Community Association has sent a letter to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe opposing Ottawa's transit budget. This budget will make traffic worse, force children and seniors to stay home, and is financially reckless to the billions already invested in the O-Train system.

the left cannot team up with liberals against the incoming wave of neo-fascism. they got us into this mess. they suck up all the oxygen in our spaces while they worsen material conditions. they enable fascism when we need a bold vision to fight it.

There’s one thing I know for sure after 33 years working in cities all over the world — there’s nothing inevitable or unchangeable about the way your city is. Your city is the result of decisions & choices. Like every city. Different decisions or choices could have been made, and STILL can be made.

We should ban panels on affordable housing until there’s something new to discuss. Every panel is titled, "AN END TO THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS???" And the consensus is "build more housing at a lower cost" and then no one does that, no policy changes to enable that, and all we get is more panels

Mayors calling on the Government of Ontario to use the notwithstanding clause to dismantle homeless peoples encampments is despicable. We need to build more publicly owned, social housing, not violently clear encampments. Homes, not hate, are the solution to the homelessness crisis

Really sad this guy is glazing his YouTube channel off the back of immigrants. The housing crisis was caused from years of not building social housing, co-operative housing, or housing first solutions (it's how Canada fixed the problem in the 70's). It wasn't immigrants

The catastrophic 2024 election has clearly demonstrated a need for democrats to abandon the woke platitudes of Liz Cheney and useless identity politics pandering to groups like New York Times Opinion writers and instead speak to issues that run of the mill Americans care about like Medicare for All

ever since reading “Seeking Social Democracy” a little over a year ago, every new thing I learn about Ed Broadbent reaffirms how much of a singular force he was intellectually & politically for Canadian socialism. There’s no one doing it like him.

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it. It’s weak even by normal left-punching standards. Zero evidence more Liz Cheney would have won this. The opposite, actually.

The NDP really needs to develop our aesthetic sense, DSA and PSL in America have it for the most part nailed, and we make t-shirts that have swirly text saying “caring is cool” that don’t even say the name of the party on them.
