Carney is using a shock to the system to manufacture consent for taking the nation in a direction that is neither moral nor beneficial to Canadian society. Canadians captured by this gambit, as most seem to be, will one day regret their acquiescence to his agenda

Keller says that we need to stop "shooting ourselves in the foot". I agree. A great start would be if national newspaper columnists stopped trading in revisionist histories and lazy arguments and actually took the challenge -- and opportunity -- of a decarbonizing global economy more seriously.

@richards1052.wsocial.eu has had his account suspended for stating that an occupied population has the right to armed resistance. This is not a controversial stance as it is affirmed UNGA Resolution 3314 (1974) and reaffirmed in UNGA Reolution 37/43 (1982).
The suspension notice from Bluesky saying that by quoting the law he was promoting violence against an individual or a group.

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.

"Rabbi Abraham Heschel famously wrote, “In a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.” The ashamnu prayer that we say at Yom Kippur reflects a sense of collective responsibility, saying “we are guilty” or “we have trespassed.”"

Employers always want binding arbitration because it saves them from the onus of compromise, which strikes force them into. It always gives them the upper hand, if not the best outcome. If they wanted to be fair to workers they wouldn’t force them to strike.
