Fact check: Pierre Poilievre’s misinformation on Joe Rogan’s podcast disrespects Canadians
By promoting politically expedient misinformation on a show like Joe Rogan’s, Pierre Poilievre appears intent on pushing dangerous and misleading claims that resonate only with his base.

Mayday! Misogyny Has Gone Mainstream and It’s Fueling a Political Crisis
Misogyny isn’t fringe anymore—it’s strategy. As the Netflix Show Adolescence demonstrates, there is a cost to ignoring it.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

The people were ALWAYS going to have to lead the way. The movement is not the party. The PEOPLE are the movement. Is anyone really surprised? The answer is in organizing. Not in hoping that feckless politicians will grow backbones.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
