In Canada, the richest 1% are now as wealthy as the poorest 80%.
No society that is this unequal can possibly be democratic. The wealthy simply have too much power to control the media and bend the political elite to their will.
Canada ain't no democracy. It never was.

Spain has become the first NATO country to openly reject the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. In a televised address on Wednesday, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez drew parallels to the leadup to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, criticizing leaders “who use the smoke of war” to “fill the pockets of the few.”
Sánchez’s remarks come as a rebuttal to Trump’s threats of cutting all trade with Spain, after Madrid denied permission to Washington setting up jointly operated bases on Spanish soil for strikes on Iran.
The Prime Minister should follow in the footsteps of Spain and say: no way, absolutely not, we will not be involved in this illegal war in any way whatsoever.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
