Canadians are getting clobbered by the cost of living, turbo-charged by food and fuel hikes thanks to the horrible, illegal US/Israeli war on Iran.
Meanwhile Big Oil is laughing its way to the Big Banks - with $90 billion in wartime profiteering expected this year alone.
Tax the excess profits.
Use the money to ease the everyday emergency of just trying to get by.
We're calling on PM Carney to act. It's simple: do the right thing.

again on why no one fucking likes you, and why canada will be forever unaffordable. this is your progressive leader. whack job cant even do that right. price caps…
Raw chicken? No tax. Rotisserie chicken? Taxed.
Orange juice? No tax. Single serve juice? Taxed.
The system makes no sense.
It hits hardest when you’re working late and just need to grab something on the go.
That’s why we're proposing to scrap the tax on all food and drink.
The average liberal wants you to think the reason you can’t have Nice Things is because your city doesn’t meet the means testing criteria for Nice Things. Instead of the truth, which is that infrastructure will only be built if serves the needs of Capital.
Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold.
People are dying, systems are breaking down.
This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.
It’s a blatant violation of international law, a crime in progress.
Canadians are connected to Cuba: we’ve been welcomed, had great holidays, heard incredible music, done business and made friends.
We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble.
And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!
It’s time for the countries of the world to rally and stop this impunity before it takes another sovereign country into chaos.
We have to come to Cuba's aid. What's happening is too cruel, too horrible.
Normalize telling warmongering gusanos to shut the fuck up. US regime change interventionism is evil regardless of wherever your family happens to come from. Your family fleeing Cuba in the sixties does not magically make siege warfare and mass murder acceptable. Shut up.
We’re gonna turn Cuba into a failed narcostate and then complain about it for years. Instead of an island producing a disproportionate share of doctors and medical breakthroughs, it’ll produce waves of migration and drugs and violence as the mafia that was thrown out by the revolution return
It's amazing that people believe shit like this.
In 1915, US Marines occupied Haiti, looted the Haitian National Bank, installed a puppet government and rewrote the Haitian constitution. They stayed for 19 years.
In 1960's, the US started financing Haitian "president for life" Francois Duvalier, who ruled Haiti through an army of death squads. He was in power for 14 years.
Francois Duvalier then made his 19-year old son president, who made Haiti a sweatshop for American corporations.
Haiti didn't have free elections until 1990 and when Haitians finally elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was for the interests of the Haitian working class, the US started funding his opposition who overthrew him in a military coup a year later.
Aristide came back to Haiti and won the 2000 presidential election. In 2004, the US kidnapped him and flew him to the US.
His successors continued to privatize Haiti's resources and state assets and sold them to American corporations.
The Biden administration also backed the totally illegitimate government of Jovenel Moise.
The colonialism never ended, it just became American.
If the Mayor’s Office was less focused on campaigning, they might have noticed they shut down our busiest traffic artery on one of Toronto’s busiest weekends.
A city that we can be proud of plans ahead so you’re not stuck in congestion by choice. 👇

After an exciting leadership race, we're fired up and ready for the important work ahead!
I keep remembering how this beautiful little boy's father said he was probably running towards the landlord to give him a hug when he got stabbed. His last words were "I'm fine," trying to reassure his mother.
