“Bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism.”
Important reminder that polling results alone aren't going to change the world. [Capitalist] governments don't do something just because the majority of people want it, we have to force them to listen to our demands. It's on us to turn popular support into popular power. #CDNPoli #ABPoli #ABLeg
NEW: Some of the largest funders of Sask. political parties are companies with no public profile. I went through corporate registries in three provinces to find out who was behind them, and found 5/6 of the top donations to the Sask. Part last year trace back to one influential family.

NEW: Canada has remained silent as the Americans continue to throw the World Cup into chaos through visa denials, delays and revocations.
In April, Canada denied entry to Iranian and Palestinian football officials ahead of the pre-tournament congress. www.readthemaple.com/canada-silen...
"Cheap" natural gas *for now* (until these data centres come into our communities and massively increase natural gas demand, jacking up utilities costs for ordinary people who live near them). www.reuters.com/business/ene... #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli
Rather than regulating the toxic business practices of social media companies, the bill effectively makes those companies the collectors of personal information. A privacy nightmare in the making. #cdnpoli

The federal government is moving to restrict young Canadians' access to social media unless those companies can show they've made their platforms safe.
It’s genuinely depressing to watch our foreign policy shrink into something this unserious, this hollow, and this embarrassing.
