Avi Lewis: "Look at the beginning of this document and all of the bankers at the banquet who are the private sector economists on whose forecasts everything is built. Where are the trade unions... where are the representatives of working-class people?"
Carney’s “economic update”—in reality a budget by another name—is a private equity strategy with war drums. Essentially government-sponsored LBOs, cuts of social services and programs, but more military spending.
I’m sure that’s exactly what Canadians still left in 🇨🇦 wanted.
Today, New York City subway and bus fares rose from $2.90 to $3.
I spent the evening riding the only free bus in the city, the Q70, to hear what a fare free ride has meant for New Yorkers.
What was clear right away was the relief this one bus line gives working class New Yorkers.
Imagine if every bus felt like this.
@RepJoeWilson Taking each deal, erasing all parts from it you don’t like and saying ��fine, I graciously accept” is not the same as actually accepting what’s put in front of you.
@kinsellawarren *Edit: when I say Canada, I don’t mean our beautiful country or the many wonderful and creative people who hail from it, but the Canadian state and its hapless flunkies.
@kinsellawarren As a Canadian that works/studies in the US, I don’t owe you or Canada a damn thing. In fact, it’s people like you that need to do some serious self-assessment to figure out why Canada can’t provide the kinds of opportunities that would keep us home.
@kinsellawarren Unfortunately, that would involve coming to the conclusion that, at best, you built an insular and crony system that breeds mediocrity and stifles any sort of innovation or creativity.
@ovi8 has done a lot for Washington, DC & the game in general. Yet for all of his accolades some of his impact has gone under the radar. The Ovechkin's influence on youth hockey development, especially in a non-traditional market like the DMV is one of them.
