The daft thing is that with Proportional Representation there'd be no need for this self-destructive war within Labour. It could split into its component parts - left and right - and people could vote for what they wanted. It's only First-Past-the-Post that forces these irreconcilables together.

I am a Canadian visiting the Uk. I was chatting with four fellow tourists, who were farmers from Leistershire. They admitted reluctantly they had to vote Reform because they hated Starmer and his lot. Yet they were Labour-oriented. Someone needs to save the Labour party from Reform: let Burnham run!

1/ As the people of Minneapolis rise up against ICE, it's painful and shameful that Canadian companies are selling armoured vehicles to Trump's masked militia and providing tech support to the dept of Homeland Security.

If I were a PM who believed we were at a global rupture moment, upending decades of international order, and requiring totally new relations with the world, I probably wouldnโ€™t cut my foreign affairs staffing and budget by 15%

Avi Lewis asks bankers on Bay Street if itโ€™s time for a wealth tax
YouTube video by Avi Lewis Avi Lewis asks bankers on Bay Street if itโ€™s time for a wealth tax

Canada's big six banks made $70 billion in profits last year on the backs of working people.

So I went to Bay Street to ask bankers whether itโ€™s time for a wealth tax.

If you agree, become a member of the NDP and letโ€™s fight for it together: avilewis.link/join

Re-upping this column because the idea seems to be gaining traction. But I think I didn't go far enough in this: the government should obviously be deleting its accounts so as to not have their tweets appear next to CSAM. But it should also be pursuing charges against X and banning it in Canada.

Ubisoft Shuts Down Assassin's Creed: Rebellion Developer Halifax Studio Just Weeks After It Unionized - IGN Ubisoft has shut down its Halifax Studio, just one month after 61 of its 71 workers voted to unionize.

Solidarity with the workers of Ubisoft Halifax.

Just weeks after they formed the companyโ€™s first union in North America, Ubisoft has shut down the shop rather than bargain in good faith. 71 talented folks thrown out of work.

Outrageous!
