The new leader of Iran…we don’t want him. They can have him.

1/ The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.

They are not just gangs of billionaires anymore. They are often the kinds of billionaires that are called superpredators. No conscience, no empathy.

We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.

In a powerful address to Parliament on October 27, 1983, Ed Broadbent fiercely condemned the US Invasion of Grenada.

"This is an act to invasion, an act of aggression initiated and led by the United States of America.
We in this Parliament have an obligation to state the truth, to accept the truth and, in unpalatable cases, to try to change the reality. That is what we are involved in tonight."

Ed Broadbent speaks at a microphone.

Canada Is Edging Toward a Two-Party System. That Would Be a Mistake | The Walrus As polarization deepens, keeping the field crowded matters more than we think

Who would have predicted the NDP nearly forming government a decade ago or the Liberals’ big comeback in 2015? Writer David Moscrop reminds us that third (or fourth, or fifth) parties keep our political landscape surprising andβ€”cruciallyβ€”healthy. https://ow.ly/Nbxr50Yhn8Z

One of my most unpopular opinions is that the voters have agency, and in that agency they can be wrong.

The 'strategic voting' Canadians got played hard, and frankly need to wrestle with that fact

FBI Interviewed Trump Accuser, Epstein Files Show Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.

Canada must support Cuba "You cannot β€˜live within the lie’ of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”

Mark Carney said that Canada is "considering" sending aid to Cuba.

Before COVID, one million Canadians visited Cuba every year. Their convertavle peso is pegged to the Canadian Dollar. I argue that we need to send fuel and supplies ASAP, regardless of Trump.

B.C. organization enters debate on government-run grocery amid rising food costs Governments as grocers isn’t a new idea, but has received more attention with New York’s new mayor promising a pilot program and it appearing on the platform of a federal NDP leadership candidate.

"A similar idea appears in an article published last month @policyalternatives.ca, which suggests a β€œCostco-plus-local” model could reduce grocery prices by 25 to 45 per cent, depending on where people live." www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Send Canadian oil to Cuba - CCPA The United States is attempting to deliberately trigger a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Canada must act in concert with regional allies to defy the blockade.

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cubaβ€”we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger.

I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca
