All of you are taking hot dog guy at his word in reacting to the Carney WEF speech. Neoliberalism is the erratic driving of the weinermobile and Trump is the crash and this moment at the lectern is the quote.
Guys, Carney is just saying the same things that Lula and Gustavo Petro and everyone in Latin America and the Global South have been saying forever. Relax about this being an "admission" when its been reality for a while—he's still going to be a neoliberal and flash Keynesian in crisis, don't worry.

We examine class voting in #Canada and show how the working class feels politically alienated and disaffected that their interests are not being pursued by politicians

Can social democracy once again become a transformative force in Canadian politics?
Read the new issue from guest editor Simon Black: 🔗 perspectivesjournal.ca
"The point is really to have more democratic control over the digital infrastructure. Part of what helps our control over that is not to have one corporate entity with total market power."

"There are actions the government can take, but austerity continues to be pulled from the policy toolkit after decades of proven failure."

Just wanted to share the names of my latest MLB fantasy waiver wire pickup and dropoff.
Went to Mexico and felt kinda embarrassed that Canada couldn't go on stage and name one progressive thing we've done lately that isn't facing retrenchment or backsliding.

I'm so excited to announce that as of last week, I've joined the power-packed team at @pressprogress.ca as their health reporter.
It's a topic that touches everyone's lives, and a healthy healthcare system is often a litmus test for a healthy community.
In this new role, I'd like to... (1/n)
I have a new piece out for the Toronto Star today on how the Carney Liberals ran on public investment and nation-building and have swung immediately to the right. Among other things, Canada may soon experience the most sweeping austerity program it's seen in decades. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Thank you to 2025 Panamerican Congress hosts 🇲🇽 Partido Morena & @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social for a wonderful closing to this event. The 🇨🇦 Canadian delegation is thrilled to have connected with progressive legislators from across the Americas on issues of sovereignty, democracy & equality.
At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege
Update on treatment of Handala detainees:
“Christian Smalls reported severe physical violence by Israeli forces. Several female activists described similar abuse and deplorable detention conditions.”
While Mark Carney says it’s time to cut back the public service, @cupescfp.bsky.social senior economist @angella.bsky.social explains how workers will pay the price in a new era of austerity.
