While Tesla's profits have fallen 37% and 14,000 workers were laid off, Musk just received a $1 trillion worth bonus.

Robert Reich shows how capitalism has become so destructive for any sense of the common good. We need guardrails and we need to put them on as fast as possible.

Only spiritual understanding can provide a way forward - not one based on judgment, greed and small-mindedness of me and mine but the heart woke to the suffering of all.

People holding hands showing unity

Every so often, especially during economic downturns, racism pokes its ugly head. At present, ultra-right and fascist groups, spurred by 'populist' rhetoric by Trump and similar politicians, have emboldened racists. Still when we stand united, racism, like all lies and hatreds, in time will recede.

Australian Assistant Minister for Multiculturalism Julian Hill recognized his response and indicated that such racism has no place in Australia. Daljit on X simply posted 'ONE LOVE ❀️' and 'Thank you' to Minister Hill.

'No Kings' Protests are a growing movement. The key is applying pressure on authoritarian regimes and billionaire backers through corporate blackouts is the only way to remind corrupt politicians that the real power is with the people.

Canada Post faces two futuresβ€”a revitalized public service or a billionaire cash machine ⋆ The Breach The Liberal government is dismantling Canada Post for the billionaire class, while ignoring bold proposals from postal workers to reinvent the public service

A look at what's at stake with the Canada Post strike. The Carney Liberals are beholden to American corporate interests that want to dismantle public postal service in Canada in order to privatize it. Postal Service must be supported as a nation-building initiative.

AOC humiliated RFK Jr. when asking how payments to for profit private health insurance companies doubled under his watch. She also cited a report indicating that Private Insurance has defrauded $60 billion of public funds each year. But, RFK was unaware of any of this.

Development that destroys a public treasure that generations would enjoy is never progress. We need to elect politicians who start thinking again of the public good and not what makes developers profit at any cost. Development needs to be measured in human terms not just monetary profit.

This image of a mother holding her starving child is a poignant image of children and families suffering in Gaza.

Aid needs to flow freely and must never be blocked by any nation or power. The lives of all children matter and conflict must never make us forget our responsibility to protect them.

Graphic with pie charts showing that 97% of Climate Scientists agree on human-caused climate change, but 41% of the public believes that climate change is human caused

Let's put science and evidence into these discussions. Most scientists (97%) agree on human-caused climate change. Recent studies, such as by Cornell University's ScienceAlert, have found 99.9% of scientific papers agreeing on it but the public due to disinformation thinks there's a gap.

Right-wing politicians will call citing science behind climate change politicizing a crisis such as wildfires. Media and social media controlled by this ideology also denies the reality. Instead conspiracy theories are peddled, such as governments seeding clouds or crazed arsonists setting fires.

Canada wildfires: thousands in Manitoba ordered to evacuate as state of emergency declared There are more than 130 active wildfires across the country, half of which are considered out of control

Wildfires are having a devastating effect in Manitoba with Premier Wab Kinew declaring a state of emergency. He describes how fires were previously isolated but climate change has exacerbated them to become intense and widespread, rather than local and isolated.

Alberta separatist threats may soon fizzle out even if Carney wins, not because Danielle Smith will put Canadian unity first. If the oil slump continues due to increased output by Saudi Arabia and OPEC+, and prolonged US-China trade war under Trump. Alberta will be forced to shift priorities.

Robert F. Kennedy is into medical conspiracies about vaccines, COVID-19 or WiFi causing cancer. Given this, it makes sense that Trump would have him in charge of health. The aim is to gut health, so that medical experts would not look after health but it would serve interests of American oligarchs.

Early Sikhs settled in the Lower Mainland, BC often facing racism. As India was a British colony, Sikhs could not be directly barred from migrating to Canada. So Direct Passage Voyage ordinance was enacted to bar them. This colour bar was challenged during the brave but sad Komagatu Maru journey.

They're certainly comfortable watching some parts of the country and workers in key industries suffer, as long as it is not in their region or province. When leaders seek to unite, petty politicians look to stoke division.
