"Immigration should never be about numbers, but about human rights and the quality of life.

As an immigrant to Canada, I refuse to see myself as only contributing to the country economically as a worker who earns an income and pays taxes."

Notwithstanding the possibility of a few jobs or entrepreneurial opportunities in the mining economy, evidence overwhelmingly suggests an extractive future for Treaty 9 territory will continue the flow of wealth out of Indigenous land, and away from Indigenous people and communities.

This far-right surge has politically taken the form of fascism: an authoritarian and nationalist political ideology that has undermined democracy around the world.

But what is fascism exactly?

Canada wants to build big. But are we building the right things?

Broadbent Research Fellow @br_haley was interviewed on @cbccostofliving to warn against the ‘Staple Trap’: Canada’s continued and deepening economic reliance on extractive commodities.

On the night of President Trump's second election victory, economist @IsabellaMWeber asked: "Can we now finally have a serious conversation about an anti-fascist economics?"

Listen to her full conversation with @avilewis on the neoliberal road to fascism, and what an alternative economy should look like.

[Broadbent Institute @broadbent]

Renewed patriotism is being used to justify neoliberalism’s life support, rather than political and economic transformation.

There is another way forward as progressive pockets are demonstrating around the world.

Canada cannot bet on AI and its neoliberal approach for economic growth that prioritizes corporate efficiency over the structural crises of affordability faced by the working class. https://t.co/VTws5mbafQ

We call on all democratic forces to remain vigilant, to expose and condemn any attempt at external interference before, during or after 25 October, and to demand full and unconditional respect for the will of the Brazilian people as expressed at the ballot box.

🇧🇷Brazil is not the backyard of any foreign power.

Brazil’s future belongs to its people—and to no one else.

We call upon parliamentarians, political parties, trade unions and social movements throughout our hemisphere and across the world to speak out in defence of Brazil’s sovereignty and the inalienable right of its people to determine their future freely. 🇧🇷

On Tommy Douglas Day, @DaveMcGrane looks at the life and legacy of "The Greatest Canadian."

Without him, Canada's social infrastructure would look a lot like the United States.

What made Tommy Douglas so impactful for Canadians to name him "greatest"?🎧 https://t.co/Vi5uUNzKDM

The Federal government has left provinces with a choice: raise the money to pay for the healthcare people expect, or keep leaving the bill to patients and employers.

The BC NDP is betting voters will choose the former.

Isabella Weber’s policy toolbox for fighting inflation includes price caps, profit taxes, and programs that defend jobs.

The BC NDP, in their snap election campaign, have announced several promises straight out of the toolbox. https://t.co/zVDW1esMWu

Policymakers know price explosions are related to corporate profits, but refuse to act, endangering democracy & affordability.

Listen to @avilewis & @IsabellaMWeber on why we need 'Anti-Fascist Economics' to defend democracy .
