1/ The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.

They are not just gangs of billionaires anymore. They are often the kinds of billionaires that are called superpredators. No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.

🌎Ed Broadbent remained an important critic of US foreign policy & a fierce voice for democracy and peace. In a powerful address to Parliament in 1983, Ed condemned the US Invasion of Grenada. Read his full remarks🔗 broadbentinstitute.ca/research/democracy-peace-west-hemisphere/
In a powerful address to Parliament on October 27, 1983, Ed Broadbent fiercely condemned the US Invasion of Grenada.

"This is an act to invasion, an act of aggression initiated and led by the United States of America.
We in this Parliament have an obligation to state the truth, to accept the truth and, in unpalatable cases, to try to change the reality. That is what we are involved in tonight."

Ed Broadbent speaks at a microphone.

Who would have predicted the NDP nearly forming government a decade ago or the Liberals’ big comeback in 2015? Writer David Moscrop reminds us that third (or fourth, or fifth) parties keep our political landscape surprising and—crucially—healthy. ow.ly/Nbxr50Yhn8Z

One of my most unpopular opinions is that the voters have agency, and in that agency they can be wrong. The 'strategic voting' Canadians got played hard, and frankly need to wrestle with that fact

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger. I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca
