Only a revitalized Canadian left can offer a future away from Mark Carney’s politics, which promise progressivism while delivering austerity.

You don’t need a long policy brief to see what’s happening. Public schools are overcrowded and underfunded, while this government funnels public dollars into private and charter schools. Dismantle the public system brick by brick, then call privatization the solution.
BREAKING:
Israel is dropping white phosphorus on the village of Khiam in South Lebanon.
On homes.
On civilian areas.
This is a war crime.
Not a peep from the international community.
Not a word from the International Criminal Court.
@hasanthehun@ettingermentum He's trying to gather a new coalition in of RWNJs that organize based on different non MAGA talking points. The old stuff isn't working so he's pretending he's something new. I'm anticipating a likely 2028 run.
Continually condemning Iran, while refusing to condemn or use soft power to stop the horrific violence and war crimes of Israel and the US *is* participation.
She’s talking about it like you can support Palestinian liberation and also support the ethno-state standing in the way of it. It’s no surprise that someone who’s pro-Palestine would be anti-Israel; it just means Rama’s politics are coherent
@christoaivalis The nerve of Mulcair in the video. He took over after Jack Layton & cut their seat count in half. They ousted him in disgrace. All because he ran exactly the way he's telling Avi Lewis to do here.
@sarobertsonca Tom Mulcair took over the leadership from Jack Layton & in 2015 ran the way he's describing in that video. He wiped out half their seat count & was ousted in disgrace. Probably wasn't too bummed because he was a career long Liberal till he boarded & scuttled the NDP.
US military investigators have said it is likely its forces were responsible for a strike on a girls’ school in Iran that killed scores of children and has been condemned as a war crime, according to a report by Reuters.
The attack on the girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, on Saturday is believed to have killed at least 165 people, mostly children under the age of 12.
The UN’s education agency, Unesco, said the attack was a “grave violation of humanitarian law”.
US war secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the military was investigating the incident.
Investigators have not reached a final conclusion and it is still unclear what evidence contributed to their assessment, Reuters reported, citing two unnamed officials.
It was also unclear what type of munitions were used and who was responsible, the outlet said.
An investigation by news outlet Middle East Eye determined that the attack on the school was a “double tap” strike – where a target is hit a second time in order to kill rescuers who come to the aid of the injured.
“When the first bomb hit the school, one of the teachers and the principal moved a group of students to the prayer hall to protect them,” a Red Crescent medic told the outlet, citing conversations he had with survivors.
“The principal called the parents and told them to come and pick up their children. But the second bomb hit that area as well. Only a small number of those who had taken shelter survived.”
The UK has joined the war on Iran – which is illegal because it was not approved by the UN or US congress – by allowing the use of its bases for strikes against the country.
Prime minister Keir Starmer has claimed the UK’s involvement is an act of self-defence, despite the fact the US and Israel started the war.
@bethbourdon Tldr once empires are established and an entrenched elite emerges it breaks up into factions & the factions that maintain cohesion better by doing Eyes Wide Shut type shenanigans consolidate power till they get too cocky & undermine the empire from within.
@bethbourdon I think Epstein & other elites assemble and let themselves be compromised in each other's presence so that they know they can trust each other. The blackmail is the price of admission to the club. They know they will have to hang together or be hanged separately like Epstein.
