Mark Carney's budget will make Trump and Canada’s corporate class happy, but it does little for working people. Martin Lukacs and @desmondcole.bsky.social break down the Liberals' Stephen Harper-esque moves, from public service layoffs to corporate handouts. breachmedia.ca/a-budget-for...

The federal government’s budget signals an abandonment of previous government’s climate commitments. By @simonenoch.bsky.social @policyalternatives.ca #climatecrisis www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Budget 2025 does little to contain the cost-of-living crisis or rising rates of poverty. Important programs are targeted for cuts, others to be starved of funds. Is this the route to an inclusive future? #cdnpoli www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

AFB 2026 is live! Major public cuts are avoidable. Canadians need supports and services based on equality and solidarity. The CCPA’s Alternative Federal Budget offers just that: Building a True Canadian Sovereignty. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

With grocery giants ripping off Canadians, it’s time for a bold alternative: public grocery stores. Food analyst Aaron Vansintjan explains how a publicly-run grocery option could solve the crisis of skyrocketing food costs. youtu.be/RPuEhQl8Cxo

A new report obtained exclusively by The Breach shows how Canada’s biggest landlords are profiting from racialized displacement—targeting Black and Arab neighbourhoods, evicting tenants, and driving up rents. breachmedia.ca/financialize...

New from me in @breachmedia.ca: It's easy to see Ford's war on bike lanes as a personal vendetta and an attempt to stir up a culture war. But more than that, it's part of a bigger pattern of Ford serving corporate interests – from real estate firms to Uber.

Who stands to benefit from the gutting of Canada Post? The billionaire class. If Mark Carney were really serious about nation-building, Dru OJa Jay writes how the post office could become an engine for green energy, public banking, and better services. breachmedia.ca/canada-post-...

@iandoktor.bsky.social an Alberta teacher's open letter on the eve of their first strike in over 20 years. While the Smith govt claim this is about wages, compensation is just the tip of the iceberg after a decade of disrespect & political weaponization. www.parklandinstitute.ca/disrespect

Latest issue now out! Editorial here from editors @judegreen.bsky.social & @lindsaymclaren.bsky.social journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/jc...

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...

Carney said he’d stand up to Trump—instead he’s using the President as an excuse for a rapid-fire right-wing agenda. He’s unleashed a pro-corporate, Trump-friendly blitz, embracing Big Oil and militarism, social cuts, and crackdowns on refugees. Our recap of his first 100 days:

Great letter to the editor in the TC today! Does @mark-carney.bsky.social really want to make "Canada a global warming (aka global overheating) superpower, with all the benefits that implies; i.e. a #wildfire superpower"?!? www.timescolonist.com/opinion/lett... #yyj #cdnpoli #climatesky

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

The grassroots campaign that took on the Giller forced the prize to drop Scotiabank over its ties to Israel’s biggest weapons maker—and sparked a broader reckoning in CanLit. Josiah Neufeld tells the inside story of the organizers who made it happen. breachmedia.ca/scotiabank-i...

It's been over a 100 years of politicians promising to move from first-past-the-post voting to proportional representation in Canada....don't hold your breath. We are still waiting. Read Hennessy's Index from the latest issue of the Monitor. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Our quick take on the election results and what comes next: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

While ballots are still being counted, Canada's direction is clear. The new government must act quickly to build the resilient, inclusive economy Canadians deserve. My @bcpolicy.bsky.social colleague Alex Hemingway & Simon Peck offer some bold ideas to get started. @1alexhemingway.bsky.social

1 in 2 students will graduate with debt that will take them an average of 10 years to pay off. Saddling young Canadians with debt isn’t sustainable. We need affordable post-secondary education. app.sosha.ai/s/ssWr770p

In one generation, the cost of undergrad tuition has more than DOUBLED. Meanwhile the cost of living has gone up 69%. What we need is affordable college and university – and instead Canada’s getting tuition fees that are outpacing inflation. app.sosha.ai/s/mLuMXOBl

So the Health minister is calling Parkland Institute “the NDP’s research arm” after our report on the disaster that is their private surgery initiative. Which is more trustworthy? Peer-reviewed research or the belief of a compromised UCP minister? I know where my vote lands

The Centre for Future Work in Vancouver has posted 3 new videos to our YouTube channel that are useful resources for campaigners mobilizing to oppose both Donald Trump's annexation threats, and our own home-grown right-wing populists. #canlab /2

Great article from The Breach. Canada’s best response to Donald Trump’s aggression? Socialism We need to start reversing 40 years of neoliberalism with economic planning and public ownership by Christo Aivalis Analysis | Jan 18 2025 breachmedia.ca/canadas-best...

NEW: A couple days ago, Breakdown host Nate Pike announced that he was being court ordered to wipe the Alberta politics show from the web as part of a libel lawsuit from a well-connected Alberta businessman. This development should concern all journalists. open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

Since Trump’s tariffs, Canada’s so-called ‘internal trade barriers’ have been all over the news. One problem? The crisis is fake—it’s a right-wing ploy to gut key regulations. Stuart Trew of the @policyalternatives.ca exposes the con. breachmedia.ca/freakout-abo...

Ban right on red now. Costs nothing to implement. Requires political courage tho.

New CCPA report: Company Men: CEO Pay in Canada, 2023. On average, the top 100 CEOs were paid 210X more than the average worker’s wage in 2023, and this wealth gap is only growing: In 1998, they'd made 104 times more. The report busts key myths about CEOs’ pay and their worth. 1/2

We need a better option than the Liberals or NDP or Greens. Send Charlie a note of confidence if you think we need a new centre-left compassionate & strong federal party and that he should lead it

One of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS your city could do to become more healthy, sustainable, livable, affordable, equitable, successful — stop pretending to “balance” transportation modes, and commit to PRIORITIZING walking/rolling, biking, public transit. HT @dublincycling.bsky.social’s graphic
