U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

I ask myself this every day. They think a policy of appeasement will work this time? Cowards, the lot of them.

If we did an honest look at externalities, AI massively *subtracted* from the economy.

Mass water and power usage for dancing panda videos are value-negative.

Markham-Stouffville WTF stop electing this fucking dingbat. Even Wikipedia reminds us that the Globe and Mail once wrote: β€œto call Mr. Calandra a clown is to do a disservice to the ancient profession of painted-face buffoonery”
A sick burn, and yet ppl still voted for him.

Let’s not forget that Paul Calandra, one of the most incompetent, insufferable, intransigent fools to fail upwards in our political hellscape, has zero qualifications to be Education Minister. He has NOTHING to contribute to the system. And to be clear -his mission is to destroy it.

MPP Chandra Pasma addresses a room of concerned residents. A panel of teachers and education workers are beside her.

Full house for tonight’s Education Townhall, hosted by NDP MPP & Education Critic Chandra Pasma. Doug Ford continues to fail students, teachers, parents, and by extension, the entirety of the province with his cuts to education. #ontpoli #publiceducation

One needs look no further than Cuba to validation for those of us who saw through Carney's Davos speech.
Yes he exposed the lie but only to call for a restoration of the lie

Conservative MP’s strolling across the aisle to join the Liberals should tell you how similar those parties are. #canadianpolitics #redconbluecon

The most heartless, incompetent, corrupt premier - worse than Harris. Never forgive the provincial Liberals for giving him the province in 2018 by refusing to endorse β€œstrategic voting” - which they beg us to do every other election. Jeff Leal is guilty of helping get Smith elected. #fuckemall

Uphill battle when our major media outlets don’t push back on any of his idiotic claims and dangerous policies, and only haphazardly report on his myriad corruption scandals.

Literally that is how him and his cabinet see the world - through their opaque bubble of privilege, born into wealth and failing upwards his whole life.

Doug Ford is a fucking tool. Zero capacity for critical thinking or imagination. Wants to force young people in debt so they become obedient workers for his millionaire friends. This has been their policy since Lecce was education minister. #fuckdougford

Robyn writing a column lacking in any critical/intersectional analysis, completely removed from the reality of working class women? Colour me shocked πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
