Everything Carney says he needs private equity to build and finance has been done in the past by government. Instead of taxing wealth to finance these projects he is instead selling our infrastructure to the wealthy. In the end we own nothing while paying more for it.

I am devastated to learn that Joan Phillip (Amshen) has passed away. My thoughts are with Grand Chief Stewart Phillip and all of Joan's friends and family. Joan deeply inspired me - from her commitment to Indigenous sovereignty (Native Alliance for Red Power to Oka crisis) and her climate justice activism fighting pipelines on unceded lands. It was an honour to work with Joan in these final years, where she was focused on constructive solutions to serve her community, constituents and the whole living world. A woman of unparalleled courage and character who always stood for what's right, no matter the consequences. She leaves a hole as a leader and visionary that will be hard to fill. It's up to us to honour her memory by continuing her work.

I'm not sure I have any disappointment left to dole out for this government. Becoming the right wing opposition might help you retain power, but it also encourages our descent into toxic, far right global politics. Only Emily is tugging at the "Overton Window" in B.C. to prevent that spiral.
