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.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Carney announced his plans to privatize Canada’s largest airports. So, I went to YVR to ask Canadians what they think (spoiler: they don’t share his enthusiasm). youtu.be/NTz8q0rKGdI

1/ We know what happens when public infrastructure gets privatized: costs go up, quality goes down, and it's everyday people who end up paying for it. Mark Carney's Investment Summit might be over, but the fight to protect our public goods isn't.
Canada's infrastructure belongs to the people.

Happy Labour Day! Workers built this country and keep it running every day. No matter where you work, you deserve good wages, strong protections and benefits that help you afford a good life. From our strong Niagara Team of MPPs to Parliament Hill, the NDP will always fight for you.

The NDP stands in solidarity with flight attendants fighting against unpaid work. Westjet workers are fighting for fair pay and respect, but that fight is at risk. The Liberals have used Section 107 multiple times to stamp out worker power, forcing them back to work without a fair contract.

1/ Nearly 1000 wildfires are burning across Canada right now. Entire communities have been lost, and the impacts of the climate crisis are being felt coast to coast. Canada is warming at nearly twice the global average. And after decades of Liberal inaction, Canadians are the ones paying the price.

Despite a recent poll showing nearly 70% of Canadians supporting heavy AI regulation, the Carney Liberal government is going full steam ahead with an "AI for All" strategy, a plan that seeks to put significant government resources into the development of AI data centres.

1/ The Liberal government might as well have called its AI strategy “All in for AI”. This is a document that's heavy on hype, but light on the right guardrails that we need to protect people – and to ensure that the benefits of the technology don’t just flow to a handful of tech giants & investors.

Screenshot of a post from Donald Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?

Doug Ford and Mark Carney are virtually interchangeable at this point. The only real difference is in style. Ford uses bluster while Carney uses a banker's blandness. These are tonal, but not substantive differences.
