Canada Exported $14.6-mln Of Military Goods To Israel In 2025 https://t.co/aGyfqDWOdR

The new Liberals: bringing in “a massive, business-friendly bonanza of arms procurement and tax cuts, paid for through austerity for health care and other social programs that benefit ordinary people.”
Is that what Canadians voted for?

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Canadians are getting clobbered by the cost of living, turbo-charged by food and fuel hikes thanks to the horrible, illegal US/Israeli war on Iran.

Meanwhile Big Oil is laughing its way to the Big Banks - with $90 billion in wartime profiteering expected this year alone.

Tax the excess profits.
Use the money to ease the everyday emergency of just trying to get by.

We're calling on PM Carney to act. It's simple: do the right thing.

Nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have donated to reelect Susan Collins.

THIS is what the U.S. Senate campaign in Maine is all about.

Federal New Democrats stand with the @OntarioNDP and the people of Toronto against Doug Ford’s destructive Billy Bishop scheme.

The Prime Minister has the power to shut this down once and for all. Protect Toronto’s waterfront, reject Ford’s Wall Street giveaway!

As the far-right government of Argentina extends the workday from 8 to 12 hours, the left-wing government of Mexico enacts a constitutional amendment reducing the 48-hour work week to 40 hours with no loss in pay for workers.

Nearly 90 faculty and staff members at The New School have been laid off over the past week. “It’s a chilling message to all of academia … as universities act more and more like corporations,” says Jeremy Varon, a professor of history at The New School who's been forced to take early retirement.

They’re actually doing mask off internet censorship.

A law like this would 100% be used against social and protest movements.

Toronto ER doc here. I'm less worried about World Cup measles, norovirus and Mpox than I am about the ER patient on a regular day who waits 8-10 hours to be seen, stays 2-3 days in a hallway stretcher or who sits in agony in a chair. We have our priorities backwards.

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

[PSAC-AFPC @psac_afpc]

The government admitted it: the in-office mandate is a “philosophical choice” - it’s not rooted in data or research.

The result? More time in traffic, more money at the pump.

Mark Carney Should Call For Prosecution of Israeli Minister - If Canada believes that such behaviour is ‘unacceptable’ it should prove it https://t.co/vKu1h8qH2H

[David Adler @davidrkadler]

Hello 👋 Many friends have asked me about the significance about this Supreme Court ruling on Cuba 🇨🇺.

“Why,” they ask, “would a US court ruling matter for a foreign country – with its own laws, and its own institutions?”

The answer is simple — if you follow Marco Rubio’s imperial logic to its conclusion.

So let’s break it down ⏬

The US is right now preparing to invade Cuba, where it hopes to reintroduce the colonial dynamic that defined the US-Cuban relationship for decades.

What does that mean in practice? It means dividing the spoils of the island between Cuban-American counter-revolutionaries & US corporations.

Beachfront property, rural farms, industrial capacity — all of it. That is the prize — and the real motivation — for Rubio’s invasion.

Why does this matter for US citizens on the other side of the border? 🧐

Because after invasion — and after six decades of punishing economic sanctions — the US plans to pummel Cuba with cash.

Sounds good, right? 🤑 Nope! I can guarantee you that this money will not go to ordinary Cubans.

And here we come back to the Supreme Court ruling.

The ruling basically means that all the “charitable” cash the US injects into the island will immediately leave again — fleeing into the hands of the ultra-wealthy domiciled abroad.

Through cases at the US Supreme Court, those “exiles” will be awarded huge payments out of Cuban coffers — only serving to impoverish further a population that has already suffered so much under US siege.

What is the lesson? 🙇‍♂️ Well, mine is that we must always read US law through the broader analytical prism of our imperial project — a project that does not provide for justice, but rather paves the way for the plunder of foreign nations close and far.

Cuba is no exception. On the contrary, after over a century of US efforts to secure colonial control of the island, Cuba is the paradigmatic case that proves the rule.

The reflex to treat strikes as a public policy ‘problem’ instead of a democratic tool to rebalance power shows how Carney sees unions: disruptions to contain, not organizations workers rely on for fair wages, safety, and a voice.

Carney cut the capital gains tax his first day in office and his first budget cut luxury taxes on yachts and private jets. The public service is facing its largest round of cuts in 30 years.
