"The system's power comes not from its truth, but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true, and its fragility comes from the same source. When even one person stops performing, when the greengrocer removes his sign, the illusion begins to crack"

- Mark Carney

You can understand the Iranian regime is oppressive and murderous and also understand that this war of aggression against it is illegal and immoral and that those who will suffer the most from it are the people of Iran.

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

To quote Avi Lewis (a little out of context), they "are not only hoarding wealth, but they are also foreclosing on our future."

A pipeline is not “Building Canada” it’s burning it for profit

And Mulroney launched NAFTA, starting the rapid rise of the transnational corporate state and the 1% / 99% poor vs rich divide that we've been screwed by ever since. Then Harper and Pierre Poilievre used the trickle down economics they stole from Reagan to increase Canada's national debt by $160B.

My parents wouldn’t tune in to Ed Sullivan on our one channel that evening because of the negative press about the Beatles. I lived in a duplex with thin walls so was able to press my ear to the shared wall. The teens gathered there blasted it!

I’m trying to imagine what PP’s speech would have been like at the WEF had he been elected. Hours after Carney’s, he’s probably still trying to google “what is a Václav Havel” without getting the spelling right.
