An excellent, succinct read. #Canada please wake up. "Lula links democracy to economic equality and solidarity, while Mark Carney revives the technocratic neoliberalism that helped create [the free world's] crisis.

today's essential read for all Canadians. “Human rights and respect for constitutionally protected Aboriginal rights and title, in addition to Indigenous Peoples’ right to self-determination, must not be spun as inconveniences to Canada’s economic aspirations,”

Carney’s first “national interest” project is an oil pipeline through Indigenous territories. Consent was not part of the announcement.

Until now, ending a legal strike required MPs to stand in the House and vote for it, in public, with their names recorded. That was a guardrail. C-39 removes this and calls the removal reinforcement. Parliament, and Canadians, should not accept the vocabulary. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak
Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.
