Opinion: Is a nation falling from 5th to 22nd in life expectancy rankings a sign of something wrong?
Growing income and wealth inequality, housing and food insecurity, lack of unionized jobs, and a health-care system in crisis contribute.

The solutions offered by Prime Minister Mark Carney of new industrial development, more oil pipelines and billions of dollars in purchases of warplanes and warships are not going to solve the polycrisis. Blaming immigration levels and limiting immigration are not going to solve the polycrisis.

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.

CHANGING THE WHEEL
By Bertolt Brecht
I sit by the roadside
The driver changes the wheel.
I do not like the place I have come from.
I do not like the place I am going to.
Why with impatience do I
Watch him changing the wheel?
