Only about a quarter of Albertans support independence. But the threat of rupture nevertheless has pushed Canada’s political class toward accommodation with petro-state grievance politics.
From selling off our critical public infrastructure, to gutting the public service, to subsidizing foreign petrochemical companies and now this - a regulatory and financial gift to the most pathetic 'innovation' in tech - the Carney government is damaging our country in ways that may never be fixed
I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.
Organizing works! This is a win for public pressure, and a message about the moral clarity Canadians want from politics right now.
Now we need legislation to ban all Canadian companies from contracting with ICE or otherwise supporting Trump's kidnapping and deportation machine.

We’re drifting toward an unambiguous military aggression against Iran, with the intention of overthrowing its regime, and the treatment of it in US politics is somewhere between normalization and avoidance.
