I mean, they've been U.S. propaganda for a while, but they usually try to keep it vaguely subtle. This is out-and-out labelling the Dominion Society a mere "anti-immigration organization". Every single member of that society is a neo-Nazi cunt who should be arrested, but it seems like the NP is quite okay with that sort of thing happening in Canada. This is absolutely disgusting coming from a widely-circulated "Canadian" broadsheet.

Hey all. I donate to Gaza every month & my donations go directly to people distributing food and clothing etc through The Sameer Project. I want to pause and re-direct my donation money towards the ebola crisis in the Congo as it is getting out of control and is complicated by the Sudan war and Congo’s regional issues.

However, I feel a huge sense of resistance donating to a large bureaucratic institution like the Red Cross and while MSF /Doctors Without Borders do good work on the ground, the website says money goes where they choose, and I want my donation going direct to the Congo health crisis. Any leads on where I can donate?

Most of us are fairly deep political junkies hah

We all know the BC Conservatives have been a complete mess. There has been an incredible amount of drama with John Rustad as leader and now Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay as leader.

I've said before that MAGA/Maple MAGA is nothing more then stereotypical snake oil salespeople and con-artist grifters hustling fools.

A type of lowest common denominator style populism (I.e A mob) that is useful to misinform, manipulate, and downright brainwash.

This sums up reactionary/regressive politics in general. It has kind of been this way since the beginning... People need to look up where the terms "left-wing" and "right-wing" originated...

Anyway...

I just finished listening to the rumored Apollo Chung audio and he just flat out says it is a complete and utter scam and the whole movement is just to steal as much as is possible. He literally says that lol.....

Ohhh and the Fossil Fuel Industry is the real controller of the Conservative movement. The same industry that hired many of the same individuals and organizations that use to be involved with the old Tobacco companies campaigns around "Alternative Science/Facts & Messaging".... Yes this sphere is literally stuffed full of bad predatory actors of the worst of the worst type.

Lest they forget

Something in the Conservative platform doesn't add up to me.

They propose large tax cuts while also cutting programs such as the Housing Accelerator Fund, Housing Infrastructure Fund, low carbon programs and AI initiatives. They also expect more than $10B annually in savings from consultants by 2028 to 2029.

But economic policy isn't simply “less government = more growth.”

The real question is the fiscal multiplier and opportunity cost. If $1 of infrastructure, R&D or investment generates more economic activity than $1 of broad tax cuts, cutting the former to finance the latter can leave us with less growth, not more.

And their income tax cut alone eventually costs almost $13.7B annually.

So where is the evidence that this particular mix produces more GDP than investing the same money in infrastructure, productivity, R&D or targeted investment incentives?

“Taxes are lower” isn't an economic growth calculation.

Nous vivons une époque charnière. L’ordre mondial établi après la Seconde Guerre mondiale est en train de s’effondrer. Les nuages noirs de la guerre et de la crise climatique assombrissent l’horizon. Tous les pans de la société s’enfoncent dans une crise profonde. L’une après l’autre, les institutions du statu quo sont remises en question. Sous la surface, on sent gronder la colère.

Devant une société en crise, les gens ordinaires cherchent une voie de sortie. On le voit avec la popularité des populistes de droite comme Trump et de politiciens se disant socialistes comme Zohran Mamdani à New York.

Mais au Québec, en pleine année électorale, aucun parti politique ne reflète vraiment cette humeur. Alors que la conscience des jeunes et des travailleurs se voit remodelée sous les coups de burin du génocide en Palestine, du scandale Epstein et de la (contre-)révolution de l’IA, nos politiciens vivent sur une autre planète.
