Heartbreaking and enraging. Either the federal government steps up with an actual systemic solution β including public or worker ownership β or weβll be reading these headlines and watching communities gutted for years to come.

"What exactly do you expect Carney to do / not do?"
A thread of 50 specific items (with links, and not in any particular order), a large fraction of which are in line with warning signs we pointed out early on and were told to be quiet, wait and see, or trust his 4D chess acumen.

How are the NDP leadership hopefuls different? Contrasts emerge as they hit membership deadline.
Candidates have until TONIGHT to sign up members eligible to vote in the race.

A grim day to note that Canada Pension Plan Investments has ~$264M in PALANTIR, which is enabling muderous ICE + its horrific terror campaign. Pensions will be useless if brownshirt billionaires kill democracy!!! (seeπpost re BCI)

Canadian friends: today is *the very last day* to buy a membership in the NDP and have a say in who the party's next leader will be.
Only members can vote in March.
On climate and economic justice, we need a strong third party.
Don't sit it out!

We're living in an era of market failure and housing is no exception. Handing billions to private developers wonβt fix things: we need public housing built at scale.

UFCW 1518 has written to the Jim Pattison Group about the decision to sell a Pattison-owned warehouse for conversion into an ICE processing facility.
We stand firmly against practices that dehumanize people anywhere β including the harms reported by victims impacted by ICE.
Retro campaign-style poster showing Garth Mullins on stage, speaking into a microphone under bright stage lights, with a large βLewisβ banner behind him. A textured halftone effect gives the image a vintage look. A quote fills the lower half of the poster: βIβm done with politicians who accept mass death as the price of billionaire comfort. Extreme wealth concentration is a political choice and so is drug policy that criminalizes people to protect property and profit. Avi Lewis is willing to say that out loudβand to fight for redistribution, decriminalization and care instead of punishment.β The bottom reads ββGarth Mullins,β with a βLewis for Leaderβ logo in the corner.
I endorse @avilewis.ca for leader of the @ndp.ca because we need leaders who are willing to take the NDP back to its working class, socialist roots-who & are willing to take money and power away from the people who are hoarding both while the rest of us bury our friends.
