Excellent piece from Charlie. Now the question is: Where is Poilievre and Carney's condemnation of such a threat?

The National Post attack on NDP Leader Avi Lewis crosses the line into threat. They invoke the same religious code words used by extremists who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin. It is unacceptable to use religious intimidation to shut down debate on Gaza. charlieangus.substack.com/p/national-p...

Between DOGE and the inevitable A.I. kill drones that Musk creates, seems like he's trying to be the single most corrupt venture capitalist with the highest death count. Here's a D Party platform: Recognize the ICC and put everyone involved w this regime thru a war crimes trial at the Hague.

Today, we must acknowledge the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. But remembrance without action is hollow. Reconciliation means confronting colonialism, honouring survivors, truly listening to Indigenous communities, and demanding accountability. Truth must be followed by justice. #canada

We can take note of this in Canada too. Canada has a right to defend itself against foreign oppression, interference, and economic coercion. But we need to be careful not to confuse defending Canadian sovereignty w/ defending the interests of Canadian capital. The two are not inherently the same.

My first story on the health beat is about the law that keeps 90% of Ontario's healthcare workers from being able to take strike action. It's being challenged by the Ontario Nurses' Association, but in the meantime, unions like CUPE say employers rely on the law to avoid bargaining in good faith.

By taxing the richest 0.3% of Canadians, some 133,000 people, we could raise $1 billion per year to go towards fixing our broken healthcare system, building affordable housing, or creating a national public grocery network to drive down the cost of groceries. No selling of our airports required.

This lawyer breaks down why the so-called guardrails Carney includes in this bill just create a cog in a machine built to deny workers their right to strike. Then ministers, in deciding what the “national interest” is in quashing a strike, can consider the “impact on the Canadian economy.”

The same CP journalist who pumped a story about Jewish people fleeing Canada (based on a doctor who shifted his medical practice) and promoted claims of virulent anti-semitism is turning on Avi Lewis the only Jewish national leader for speaking up about Gaza. Just another day of genocide denial.

Very big jump for the NDP here, and it's more than reversion to the mean; they typically pulled ~20% before collapsing in the Carney rush in 2025, so hitting nearly 26 here took more than just their voters coming home. Promising signs for Avi's organizing strategy, still in very early days.
