they gave the nobel peace prize to the most loyal and militaristic face of imperialismβ€”a far-right coup-plotter funded by the US. this is nothing more than a push to manufacture consent for a war of regime change against the democratically elected socialist government of Venezuela

Observations from Montreal An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.

β€œThe β€˜Freedom Convoy’ was a foreign-funded occupation and political destabilization movement, not a grassroots stand against COVID mandates. What we saw in Ottawa was not a protest, but a full-blown occupation meant to terrorize and disrupt people’s lives.”

Jonathan Richman is joy and sincerity and wisdom and silliness, an absolute blessing to see him perform. It’s a wonder how he makes every song sound so alive, and forces the audience to be so present.

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

BC is leading πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ with major opportunities to deliver prosperity to all of Canada.

We have billions worth of private sector & First Nations led projects, that are ready to go and will create thousands of jobs.

Alberta’s fictional bitumen pipeline achieves none of these things.

As British Columbians we love our coast and will always protect it.

The North Coast Tanker Ban also secures billions in shovel-ready projects.

We won’t let this proposal, with no backer and no money, threaten real jobs for BC’s families.

When asked if there were any conditions where he would support Smith’s pipeline dreams…

BC Premier David Eby reiterated the need to pursue real projects paid for by private investors, not taxpayers.

Guess Smith’s skybox tickets didn’t get her as far as she hoped?

Medicaid Work Requirements, Debunked
Robert Reich Medicaid Work Requirements, Debunked

Georgia’s Medicaid work requirements program spent two times as much on administrative costs as on health care costs β€” while preventing thousands of eligible Georgians from accessing health care.

Say it with me: Medicaid work requirements don’t work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMqYttKv1c

Protecting Montreal from profiteers Candidates in the Nov. 2 municipal election need to recognize that Montrealers are losing a war to profiteers selling the Montreal lifestyle.

β€œMontreal’s wealth should be determined not by the number of luxury condos available to the global elite as investment properties, but by how many artists and students can afford decent housing.”

Protecting Montreal from profiteers

Being Anti-Fascist is important but we need to also be aware about Fascism's root causes.
