This is shaping up to be the most right-wing Liberal government since the Chrétien Liberals of the ‘94-95 budget period. Deregulation, privatization, austerity. A government so neoliberal that the Fraser Institute devoted a whole multi authored volume in praise of the budget.
A new article by Nancy Lindisfarne and me argues that the Epstein case is of a piece with hundreds and thousands of cover-ups of abuse all over the world. ... annebonnypirate.org/2025/07/21/the…
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth. Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks…
I always find it weird when the G7 leaders make these coordinated posts with essentially the same talking points. Especially when they're condemning issues caused by their own policies. It seems designed to look like they're doing something without actually doing anything.
Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza. Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are…
Mark Carney promised “elbows up” against the US, but he’s offering a warm embrace to US tech companies and the AI hype they’ve unleashed. As Canada’s AI minister suggests AI regulation is off the table, we should be worried about Carney’s tech agenda. breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys-a…

the ideology that rationalizes alberta separatism is honestly so funny
1/ I was listening to folks on the CBC Alberta At Noon call-in show describe what they believe "Alberta culture" and "Alberta identity" to be. It became clear fairly quickly that lots of folks have a sense of exceptionalism that has no basis whatsoever in reality or history.

Shoutout to the Fanon scholar who put me through a disciplinary hearing about my anger on Palestine in the morning and went on to teach his Fanon class in which I was enrolled in the afternoon. May God bless you on Fanon’s 100th birthday.

Canada has abandoned the path of reconciliation and nation-to-nation building in favour of a continuation of ruthless settler capitalism disguised as “elbows up” nationalism. This isn’t going to end well.
Prime Minister Mark Carney tells Chiefs there will be no amendments to Bill C-5 in closed door talks. aptnnews.ca/?p=273935
you absolute fucking moron law4palestine.org/law-for-palest…
Bartov may be an "expert" on genocide, but his @nytimes op-ed falls apart on this point: for there to be genocide, there must be a mens rea, the requisite mental element. There must be a clear *intent* to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. None exists here.
