Reminder that the city and province have committed $50 million (total) to make Portage Place better. The mall is for sale for $23 million. The state can buy it and make it a truly community-run space.
Our capitalist culture treats cynicism as the height of wisdom. But when I look at what’s happening around the world, I am filled with hope for the future. I believe that one day socialism will win, and I want to play whatever role I can in its victory.
Thanks everyone who voted for me, stuffed mailboxes, put up a lawn sign, or talked to their friends about our platform. Thank you to those who emailed or talked in earnest with me. And thank you to my comrades for your support and confidence. Now I'd like to clarify some things.
Those individualists, who did nothing during the election but sit on their couches criticizing us from their phones for “electoralism,” either have no understanding of how to build a party, or no interest in it and would rather distort our theory for the sake of their hot takes.
Election is pretty much over, but here’s an interesting clip of @RobertCrooksCPC and @CamScottCPC of @communistmb talking about cultural labour and art workers on my show recently.

In Winnipeg this means @RobertCrooksCPC in #WinnipegNorth & @CamScottCPC in #WinnipegSouthCentre. If you live in these ridings, get to your local polling station and (safely) vote for a better world!
#VoteCommunist wherever you can today; our survival depends on it! Capitalism has had its chance and has failed us all miserably, its legacy one of exploitation, imperialism, racism and colonization. The only party with a platform to take us forward is @compartycanada.
If you live in the Winnipeg North or South Centre riding we’d urge you to consider voting for @RobertCrooksCPC & @CamScottCPC, respectively. Given the dire overlapping crises, they are campaigning on the only realistic reformist platform of any party. People & planet over profit!
"Many people ask us, why #votecommunist? Aren’t I throwing my vote away? Conversely, we’d ask such a strategist, what are you doing otherwise?"
Please read this piece from @CamScottCPC. It's time to stop accepting the lesser evil.
