It’s time for price caps on gas to stop oil companies from price-gouging Canadians — and a windfall profits tax on war-time oil revenues, so the government can invest that money in the public interest. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Oil companies are on track to make tens of billions in windfall profits from Trump’s illegal war in Iran. It’s their profiteering that’s driving up prices. It’s them who should pay.

Striking that the Liberals and Conservatives offer the same response to pain at the pump: siphon money out of the public purse instead of Big Oil’s profits.

As a child I wanted to be an astronaut. The cosmos fascinates me to no end, but I can't be excited about a mission that burns resources that could be used to help our decaying society. Where no meaningful milestones are being accomplished, and that only work as a distraction from the current world.

With the currently released things about Bill Gates in the Epstein files (he had sex with the women and girls Epstein provided and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife to treat the STI he gave her) how are we feeling about the Gates Foundation funding ... anything?

Donald Trump is nearing the end of his natural life.

And Democrats are making a

multi-generational investment in ICE

death squads while telling us the problem

is Trump, who is simply the most recent

evil old white man to occupy the office.

Let's think about this.

Let's all take a second to celebrate Michael Parenti. His writing helped make sense and expose the imperialistic nature of the allied Global North, with clear examples and always focused on the material reality of the world. Blackshirts and Reds, and Against Empire, are seminal texts #michaelparenti

No podemos dar un paso atrás. Hasta la victoria, siempre.
Me gustaría enviar un mensaje a la comunidad latinoamericana de Canadá en este momento difícil.
 
Como ya se ha visto tantas otras veces, Estados Unidos ha llevado a cabo una intervencion violenta en un país de América Latina.

Esto es un ataque contra los principios más básicos de la soberanía y el derecho internacional frente al imperialismo. Estados Unidos no tiene derecho a imponer su voluntad a América Latina – ni tampoco a Canadá.
 
Conozco un poco la historia del imperialismo estadounidense en los territorios latinoamericanos. Viví en Argentina en 2001, en medio de las ruinas de una crisis económica creada por las élites locales con la ayuda del FMI y Washington. Fue una época de movimientos populares, y también de horrible represión.
 
La dictadura de los años 70 estaba justo debajo de la superficie. Muchos de los responsables nunca se habían ido. Y no solamente en Argentina, las acciones fascistas llenaron de sangre las venas ya abiertas de esta América Latina, (El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile…).Muchos de ustedes vinieron a Canadá como resultado de esos años terribles, y sé que aún están muy presentes para ustedes, especialmente en semanas como esta.
 
Canadá es hoy un país más fuerte, más vibrante y más solidario gracias a ustedes, y las contribuciones que aportan a nuestras comunidades y lugares de trabajo cada día.
 
Por último, quiero que sepan que estamos reconstruyendo el NPD en este momento. Necesitamos un partido de izquierda que luche por un Canadá que sea un refugio contra el fascismo y que no participe en el imperialismo. Por ejemplo, mi plataforma incluye una politica exterior independiente de la politica exterior estadounidense, especialmente con respecto a Israel.
 
Y necesitamos su valentía, su capacidad organizativa y su sabiduría generacional.
 
Por favor, únanse a mí y al partido antes del 28 de enero para votar por el liderazgo. Voten por mi para ser el nuevo lider del NDP. 
 
No podemos dar un paso atrás. Hasta la victoria, siempre.

The US has attacked a country, kidnapped its head of state, and is seizing its oil. Trump has invoked the Monroe Doctrine. This is a moment for Canada to stand up: condemn this act of imperialism. Reject impunity and the politics of brute force.

1/ The Prairies gave Canada Medicare. Today, the Alberta government passed a bill to take it away and replace it with American-style, two-tier healthcare, all while Carney looks the other way. That's not who we are. That's the system our party fought to leave behind.

We live in a society awash in wealth. Big banks and big oil pull in tens of billions while public needs go unmet.  We need leaders willing to where the money is. A 1% tax on the wealthiest 1% could raise billions for strong, universal public services. #cdnpoli #ndp
