After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.

European Social Democrats should look at the facts, not the myths!

These are pretty standard arguments from jurists: violation of rules doesn't mean they don't exist; and large parts of intl activity are still rule-governed. Both are true but both look like consolation prizes.

Housing in Canada is a national crisis. Our plan takes homes back for people, not for profit.

We will protect tenants, build affordability, and create paths to ownership for tenants and young people.
