Mark Carney just allowed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu to fly through Canada despite a warrant for his arrest and the country being a signatory to the Rome Statute. We have aided and embedded one of history's greatest monsters

“The majority of Canadians believe that everyone deserves timely access to quality public health care ... Yet Alberta’s government seems intent on ignoring those voices, while doubling-down on failed privatization, bolstering a private insurance industry & constructing more barriers to access": FOM
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
The @dulfbc.bsky.social is in court, arguing Canada’s laws violate the human rights of users who are dying from toxic drugs. If successful, their case could open a pathway for safe supply. But if they lose, two activists face life imprisonment, reports Stephanie Harrington.

Currently my provincial govt is trying to privatize the healthcare system. Is this what it’s like to be American, getting MRI advertisements from your phone company?
Claudia Sheinbaum's government is using public power to build homes, operate affordable rentals, and renegotiate unpayable mortgages. Canada continues to subsidize developers and hope the market fixes a crisis it created. Mexico is showing that another path is possible.
We often talk about how a lack of grocery store options in Canada affects consumers, but concentration impacts local producers too — and thus our agency over the food system. In my latest, i write about the opportunities a public grocer presents for both food security and sovereignty.
No, this really really really is rape

TODAY. Two people go on trial who did everything right in building a compassion club: • Sought federal exemptions • Garnered provincial and municipal political support • Published peer-reviewed studies • Kept books and activities open. Vancouver police raided as their research went to publication.
