Isn’t this a show about mushrooms? What’s the Zionist connection?

“oh but i’m vegetarian and I only eat cheese from my uncle’s—”

agricultural products are dual use because they can be used to feed people that might fight against US imperialism

there isn’t a radical difference between worker protections in one province versus another. some for sure but it’s not wild.

Yeah on paper it works, but I can imagine floor crossing as a potential and/or weak leader not being able to whip NDP effectively. Despite not winning a resounding majority, the liberal machine is ascendant now on the canadian “left”. Hopefully the NDP or whoever can stick to their guns and accomplish something useful, I’m just saying it is a tougher row to hoe than 2021-2025.

I sincerely doubt carney will push for some kind of proportional representation. I mean maybe, but the two big parties really benefit from devolution to 2 parties under FPTP. it makes the ‘sword and shield of capital’ model of democracy that much easier.

lost anyone who cared about Palestine.

through this campaign jagmeet started saying correct things about gaza, explicitly using the word genocide. he hasn’t been correct on this for long but he’s literally the only canadian party leader who has been. elizabeth may of the GPC continued just blaming netanyahu. to be clear, I don’t give jagmeet a lot of credit here, but I note the change of rhetoric nevertheless.

as far as their power in a minority government, I think they’re really going to be pressed to maintain party discipline to force the libs to do anything specific. 7 seats, collapsed federal vote, no leader and no official party status will not make it easier for them to extract concessions from the LPC. it’ll be curious to see who the LPC turns to to get anything done - the BQ, NDP and elizabeth May are all options and they only need 4 or 5 votes to pass measures with a majority

Thank you!

They’re all so good. A++

I think he probably knows “something” about the war that we “dont”.

Seems way more likely that this is driven by an unhealthy parent-child rebellion than him knowing some state secret rofl

Reading through this whole list, I think this war is going to continue a while yet

Russia must unconditionally return all deported and illegally displaced Ukrainian children.

Echoes of the POW MIA movement associated with postwar Vietnam

this is a really good editorial from a palestinian-canadian

As a Palestinian Canadian, Gaza feels like the best test I can use to gauge a politician’s actual commitment to human rights. The core principle behind human rights is that they are universal (apply to everyone) and inalienable (cannot be taken away). Over the past 18 months, I have watched Israel violate just about every human right that I learned about in school, while so many Canadian politicians stayed silent. If a politician isn’t willing to fight for the human rights of Palestinians, how can we trust they’ll defend Canadian rights? You might think our existing laws safeguard your rights against those who would take them away, but I’m sure many Americans thought the same thing about due process, too. Things can change fast.

Supporting politicians who defend Palestinian human rights doesn’t mean I don’t still care deeply about domestic issues. In fact, I would argue a politician’s stance on Gaza says volumes about their commitment to a range of domestic issues, and not just Canada’s responsibility to uphold international law.

the star is generally on the good end of lib media in Canada but seeing them publish something this strident is a surprise

oh as a general canada poli post, canada’s federal election is 4 days from now. carney and the LPC have very good odds to form a majority government. carney strikes me as similar to starmer for western libs, a technocrat banker that’s likely to govern as a right wing neoliberal rather than a white nationalist timbit trump like poilievre

That was 2024, not 2023

Writing off veganism as “White” is just a way for carnists to attack the messenger instead of critically engaging with the moral and ethical positions espoused by vegans. Said positions are clearly and obviously correct, a fact which gives carnists tummy aches, so it makes sense that carnists want to shift the terrain of debate
