The reaction to the Mamdani win is yet another example of the imperial boomerang: NYC is about to find out what countries like Cuba and Guatamala found out years ago.

In no way can you say that giving the US millions for their fantasy air defense system is a "push away" from the US, not to mention the millions that will be spent on US-made weapons manufacturing.

Carney is paving the way for a far-right politics of grievance that will lead to the Liberal's downfall & the rise of neo-fascist political movements.

Fascism is (often) a reaction to a crisis of capital where the business class makes (un)comfortable bedfellows with social conservatism.

For the "buy Canadian" crowd out there: that $9 billion will primarily go to private weapons and defense manufacturers in the United States, at the expense of Canadian social services.

"This plan includes a cash increase of over $9 billion ($8.3 billion on an accrual basis) in defence investment this fiscal year (2025-26), bringing Canada’s defence spending to 2% of gross domestic product."

It really is shocking how this (and the prospect of a massive land war in Europe) is both so blatant and flying under the radar

That's not how a targeted wealth tax works

White Nationalism in Canada: Organized, Emboldened, and Growing Canada’s white nationalist movement has consolidated into a network that includes three key branches: Diagolon, the propaganda arm; the Dominion Society of Canada, an incorporated political arm; and S...

NEW: Whether you measure it by number of supporters, fundraising ability, or by the size of its militant groups, the white nationalist movement in Canada has never been larger or more of a threat.

"Canadians are not embracing any talk of “austerity,” and if needed, a majority — nearly 60 per cent — says Ottawa should hike taxes on wealthier Canadians if new spending is needed."

Oh boy

police departments, like the postal service, need to start turning a profit or else we may have to consider other options

the funniest part of Kimmel being put back on the air is now everyone is mad

equal opportunity for outrage

Hey this is really bad and it'd be really great to have a leader of our country who would, I don't know, refuse the invitations of a fascist state to participate in their military programs but what do I know

This is more "we need a Joe Rogan of the left!" talk - what we need is a serious alternative that will work to address the material conditions of average people. Influencers will spread that message for free.

Just over 100 days in and I'm more certain of this take than ever

@milesofgray.bsky.social this is my attempt to get added to the DZG discord because I'm scared to message you on Instagram

According to the Instagram page emettalks, Jesse Brown (editor in chief at @ CANADALAND) will be hosting the opening of the "Nova Exhibition," an exhibition that showcases artifacts from the October 7th attacks in Israel.

Mark Carney isn't Kamala Harris; he's Joe Biden. And while he has the best chance to beat the Conservatives, as Biden did, where did that leave us?

This is a genuine question for someone who knows more about economics than I do:

I accept that Trump's tariffs are going to hurt Americans.

Won't Canadian tariffs hurt Canadians, on top of being hurt by American tariffs? What's the logic (other than protecting Canadian business interests)?

Breaking: Punxsutawney Phil sees the shadow of death and fall of an empire, so there will be 6 more weeks of winter and then groundhogs inherit the earth.

Trump threatening Canada and Mexico with 25% tariffs but being intentionally muddy about when

It's not too late; the easiest thing to start doing so would be (at the very least) lessening the tariffs on Chinese EVs

Doug Ford is going to laugh his way into victory because of Trump's threats unless we look at this seriously

They really, really should instead of constantly trying to negotiate from the worst position

if trump's tariffs are going to be so bad for americans why is canada's response "we'll put tariffs on them!"?
isn't that just an admission that our government is willing to let people suffer for the sake of free trade?
asking for a friend

it's all about optics and the trump team can't handle an economic crisis on top of every other dumpster fire they've already set

it's so clear that the tariffs are just a bullying tactic and that the trump team knows how devastating they would be in the face of a rising alternative economy (BRICS) so maybe we can actually focus on other things instead of dedicating an absentee government's time to them

Thanks for this - if you want to chat with a non-binary person about this, I'd be happy to chat as a proud enby (and also a PhD in Philosophy/fascism studies) on or off stream. Thanks for sticking up for us ♥️

This episode really and truly revealed where is allegiance lies - didn't even call Musk antisemitic or mention his pro-Nazi positions; plus there was talk about how "trans issues have dominated politics/media and we shouldn't do that" so y'know, centrist be central or whatever

Feels like a long hangover from the post 9/11 response; concentration of power while ignoring localised threats
