INTRODUCING THE CD ARCHIVE!

Canadian Dimension teamed up with the University of Manitoba Archives and Special Collections department to create this digital register of CD’s past issues, going all the way back to our 1963 inaugural edition.

It's unclear why our politicians decided that we were all maxed-out on compassion fatigue, and no longer wanted to help our disabled family and friends. So they let benefits fall far below actual living costs.

Even Mike Harris provided shelter allowances higher than apartment rents.

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

The Nakba is not an "error in curation." Political interference has no place in determining how Palestinian history is presented in Canada’s national museum. https://t.co/LZykIpArwL

[Independent Jewish Voices @IndJewishVoices]

Another great article about @CMHR_News Palestine Uprooted exhibition by Professor Nahla Abdo in @CDN_Dimension.

“On what basis does a federal minister presume the authority to decide which elements of Palestinian history should be presented and which should not? As Palestinians, we draw upon our own experiences and the stories of our people’s suffering.”

"The issue is not that the exhibition contains historical errors—it does not. The issue is that it tells the Palestinian story from the perspective of Palestinians."

The US has tightened its blockade of Cuba, but Mark Carney has offered little beyond muted support. If Ottawa won't challenge Washington's brutal economic war, Canadians can still step up.

Government silence won't help Cuba. Grassroots solidarity can. https://t.co/u9rKYk7XST

Poverty isn't a personal failure. It's the predictable outcome of austerity, precarious work, gutted social programs, and a housing system built for profit, writes @JohnClke. https://t.co/Zg14mXuHqV

[Canadian Dimension @CDN_Dimension]

Why is Mark Carney earning praise from organizations that have spent years campaigning for two-tier health care in Canada?

When the loudest applause is coming from groups pushing privatization, Canadians should be worried, writes Christopher Holcroft. https://t.co/29PpQcpDRy

[MondoAB @MondoABx]

"American-funded dark money groups operating in Canada openly praised Prime Minister Mark Carney last week for not intervening in Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s efforts to undo Medicare."

💔😡

[Christopher Wilson @chrisw_ottawa]

Since Harper there has been a steady decline the willingness of Canadian govts to develop & sustain public assets & services. Public healthcare is on its way out & soon it'll be education & public infrastructure. Privatizing these assets seems to be the primary goal of govt today

[JEeEnEnAA @jennAA2014]

I find it atrocious the PM is framing a pipeline as how social programs are funded… we are being tossed overboard into privatized healthcare…

[Cdn Health Coalition @HealthCoalition]

Chris Holcroft makes good points about who’s behind two tier medecine (which will allow drs to practice publicly and to charge patients), and why private insurance corporations and their cronies are happy that Carney is doing nothing to oppose it. #cdnpoli

This brilliant piece by Dr. Mark Winfield outlines the technical & economic concerns surrounding Carney's pro-nuclear announcements last week, & Ontario's risky nuclear ambitions.

He ends the piece with a better path forward.

MUST READ

So what’s the plan when it’s too hot to run them?Very unserious country.

[Kim Siever @kim_siever]

$400 billion on nuclear in just Ontario?

Someone has to be making money off this given how cheap solar and wind are right now.

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

"Claims by Israel’s supporters that they support 'balanced history' disguise their true intentions. They are simply opposed to recognizing Palestinian history."

[Laurie Adkin @LaurieAdkin]

It's outrageous, yet par for the course in Canada, that the Israeli ambassador would demand the closure of an exhibit on the Naqba. They take their direct line to the PMO for granted. #cdnpoli

[Canadian Dimension @CDN_Dimension]

The backlash against the Nakba exhibition at Canada's national human rights museum exposes an enduring effort to silence Palestinian voices—and erase Palestinian history. https://t.co/An9AfSzPZC

[Canadian Dimension @CDN_Dimension]

American dark money-backed think tanks are celebrating Mark Carney's refusal to intervene as Alberta moves toward two-tier health care. What does that say about the future of Medicare, and the federal government's commitment to defending it? https://t.co/29PpQcpDRy

[Laurie Adkin @LaurieAdkin]

My god. $400 BILLION for nuclear power (in Ontario) when faster, more affordable, already tested technologies are available. Madness. #ONpoli #cdnpoli
