For 31 years Canada has voted against the U.S. blockade of Cuba. Last week Carney abstained, bending the knee to Trump.

The government must unequivocally speak out against threats of military invasion & break its complicity with the blockade.

As the NATO Summit wraps up in Turkey, we condemn NATO's warmongering, the repression of anti-war protests, and the billions wasted on militarism while public services and living standards face the knife.

Canada out of NATO now!

1. One of the more interesting things about Tibet is the mass hysteria element, no doubt flamed by western agents. The communists won the civil war and walked into a theocratic nightmare in Tibet where slavery was the norm and child abuse was routine.

[Prof Zenkus @anthonyzenkus]

The problem with Jeff Bezos' ideology is that it's based on a false premise. The idea that "six thousand years ago someone invented the plow" is based on a faulty belief that ancient humans functioned as individuals. They did not.

Ancient humans were collectivist. The likelihood that one individual invented anything is slim to none.

This is the myth of the genius.

Archeological evidence demonstrates that for hundreds of thousands of years, early humans congregated around communal gathering places, like the fire, and engaged in problem solving and passing on of shared learning down through generations.

Additionally, the plow (and tools like it) were developed by humans in Mesopotamia, Europe, Egypt, East Asia, sub-Saharan Africa as well as other places - not in one place by one person. This is known as parallel development.

Believing that the plow was invented by one genius is like believing language was invented by one person. It is a silly myth and represents the projection of current moral standards onto past events.

This is called 'presentism' and it is both an uncritical and ignorant way to view history.

Social learning was the main driver of human evolution. Collectivism is how we both survived and progressed as a species.

The myth of the genius is an example of uncritical analysis and a flawed lens used to justify the grotesque hoarding of wealth and obscene inequality that is currently tearing at the social fabric our species.

It needs to be thrown on the trash heap of history.

We are out campaigning across the country against Carney's war economy.

For real action on jobs & sovereignty, the funds allocated for massive military spending must be converted into social spending.

Instead of choosing between Trump's tariffs and mass layoffs, OR submission to corporate free trade and mass layoffs, we must fight for sovereignty, peace and expanding public ownership.

That means getting out of USMCA now!

Pride is rooted in resistance to oppression, not a corporate parade.

We stand against the far-right attacks on trans people and public education. We fight against capitalism's patriarchal agenda that oppresses queer and trans people.

This exchange makes it clear that the Carney government's deafening silence on Cuba is becoming complicity in Trump's economic war and military invasion threats.

Carney & Big Business want to kill the right to strike for federal workers. We say fight back with a Labour Bill of Rights!

La mise en accusation de Raúl Castro par Trump prépare le terrain pour une invasion militaire.

Le silence du Canada, c’est de la complicité.
@MarkJCarney doit parler maintenant contre cette invasion illégale !

Brisez le silence et brisez le blocus. Envoyez du pétrole à Cuba.

The @MarkJCarney government's actions would certainly lead Trump to believe he can do anything he wants to Cuba, as they have refused to even condemn the oil blockade, let alone take meaningful action in solidarity.

Canada must send oil to Cuba now!

While Carney uses Trump’s threats to justify austerity and cheerleads for war, the Communist Party of Canada’s latest Central Committee meeting looked at the dangerous political situation and what to do about it.
