Vamos a volver a ganar. Esta vez con más fuerza. Para topar los alquileres. Para reducir la jornada. Para seguir subiendo el SMI. A por ello. Con alegría y esperanza. Tenemos que empezar por volver a aprobar mañana en el Consejo de Ministros los dos Reales Decretos de vivienda.

Cat viene del futuro, con lejía que no salpica y varios avisos. Uno de ellos, muy local, es que las izquierdas no deberían confundir su léxico con las derechas durante más de 10 años. Otro, universal, es que las izquierdas deberían fundarse en lo material, o acaban confundiendo su léxico con etc.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has foolishly cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, and homelessness is predictably now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if lazy political ideology doesn’t get in the way.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Canada literally has two Conservative parties right now. Conservatives and the extra weird Conservatives. Democracy!
National Post headline (on Yahoo?? For some reason??) by Tristin Hopper (who is a freak!) reads:

"Mark Carney's support surge coming largely from former Conservatives, poll finds"

Opening text of the article reads: "Prime Minister Mark Carney's sustained surge in the polls is coming predominantly from former Conservatives, according to new figures published by the Angus Reid Institute.
According to a new poll published on Thursday, 13 per cent of respondents who voted Conservative in 2025 would now vote for a Carney-led Liberal party if given the chance."

Carney decided, on his own, that there should be two Conservative parties at the federal level. While Liberals were never all that progressive, former Liberals are calling him fully right-wing, including a Chretien-era minister. It's arguably an attack on democratic choice.
