As Carney talks about ordinary Canadians having to make “sacrifices” in this budget, bear in mind that one of his first acts as PM was to cut the capital gains tax rate, a move which disproportionately benefits the wealthy.

If Carney’s looking for a way to fund a budget deficit, a millionaire tax would seem to be an effective solution. Ontario could also do this to fund schools and hospitals.

If cabinet is hoping the guy who wrote the fascist playbook will give advice on stopping fascism then we are in trouble. Adorno reminds us that clever people were the first to be suckered by the fascist playbook because they thought they could outsmart it. There is nothing hidden in their plan.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

When politicians allow the system to be rigged in favour of employers, workers have no choice but to resist. Unions can’t be expected to bow to unjust laws — and the way the Liberals have abused section 107 is clearly unjust.

Mark Carney wants economic growth at any cost. To achieve it, he’s going after tech investment and pushing hard for AI adoption. In the process, AI regulations are being thrown on the bonfire and tech harms are an afterthought. It’s a recipe for disaster.
