This pipeline isn’t nation building.

It’s nation burning.

They’re going to call you a socialist regardless.

So be a socialist.

El gobierno alemán dice que aunque te mueras de calor no pongas el aire acondicionado porque contamina.

Por contextualizar, un yate contamina más en UN DÍA que una persona con el aire acondicionado puesto durante toda su vida.

El cambio climático es lucha de clases.

Essentially every argument against rent control.

-It reduces new builds
-it prevents mobility
- it increases prices over time

Can be solved by having a public builder building social housing alongside the rent control.

Stop looking at every problem from a free market POV

so it obviously can’t be this easy, but why don’t the guys who want their wives to have sex with them just give their wife a really good full body massage? i think like 80% of women would be reasonably receptive to sex after this.

So many young people in the west are depressed about climate change because they aren’t being told that China is creating more new renewable energy than the rest of the world combined.

We have to learn how to cooperate if we want to save the planet.

it’s easy to romanticise the past when you only show the rich parts

We need to bring back intellectual elitism. Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

In regards to the housing situation being discussed in BC. I keep seeing this false dichotomy of either we have to buy these condos from private developers, or let the market bottom out.

There’s a third option.

BUILD PUBLIC HOUSING!

And create publicly held rental stock.

[🤠 @heavensbvnny]

y’all have no respect for the ppl who make your life easier. the person making your morning coffee deserves a livable wage. the person stocking the groceries you buy deserves a livable wage. the person cleaning the restrooms in the office you work at deserves a livable wage.

Gotta love how communists across the world independently keep deciding to depict Marx and Engels as lovers. The power of old man yaoi transcends time and space.

Liberals have violated workers’ Charter right to strike, refused to take action on unpaid work in the airline sector & are scheming behind closed doors to weaken unions’ collective bargaining position. Meanwhile, unemployment is high and workers are struggling to make ends meet.

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

It was billed Build Canada Strong - not Bailout Developer Donors.
It appears free market principles only work one way: private profits, public losses.
This condo bailout won’t create a single new unit of affordable housing.
It’s time to create real non-market housing

[Kerch 🍉 @matt_kercher]

We should create a law in Canada that states if your a developer, and let’s say you develop a condo complex,

You have 5 years from point of completion to sell those condos or the government gets to turn them into social housing.

Much better than being a buyer of last resort

[Avi Lewis @avilewis]

Here’s just one of the unprecedented measures the Liberals pushed through at the end of this session:

Cabinet ministers will now be allowed to authorize the use of banned pesticides in the name of “national economic security.”

Even if they’ve been deemed unsafe for human health.

Debate was shut down, and scientists, public health and environmental experts were not allowed to testify before the bill was passed.

Another gift to powerful corporations at the expense of Canadians.

Legislation by lobbyists.

You are building an oppressive extractive surveillance state that destroys the environment, violates Indigenous rights, and poisons us for profit.

[Kerch 🍉 @matt_kercher]

Not only will this have serious negative health impacts (buying organic isn’t just a fad anymore)

It’s also going to result in Canadian grown food products being banned in other countries.

Probably resulting in more over reliance in trade with the USA.

Brilliant all around.

[Don Davies @DonDavies]

An attack by Trump + Netanyahu that violates international law on a fabricated pretext, killed innocent civilians & children, destroyed world heritage sites, spiked prices for consumers and sparked attacks on innocent neighbouring countries, is absolutely not “worth it”.

[Kerch 🍉 @matt_kercher]

They’re actually doing mask off internet censorship.

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