I've got a good idea... said nobody. Let's tax the workers. More.
The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling.

All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense.

Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need.

I think it is hilarious that of all the news stories I published this week, this one was shared the most on social media, yet it received the fewest actual views on the website.

Well said. Well done. Follow and repost peeps.
Let's talk austerity budgets & neoliberalism.

Neoliberalism: Privatization, deregulation, fiscal austerity, free market economics, globalization, limited gov't, militarization. Greed on steroids.

Canada has been under one long austerity budget since neoliberalsim reared it's ugly head in 1984.

Not my country. Thank goodness. Love my democracy and happy with my elected officials @davidebybc.bsky.social
It's really hard to understand why Schumer and Jeffries aren't screaming about the almost daily lies of Karoline Leavitt. Isn't that their job? They should be replaced before the midterms, but they probably won't be. Come on Dems. Forget tradition and alliances and put the country first.

This is who is hurt by Carney's budget:

Carney's first budget gives corporations a free ride and leaves working Canadians behind

Carney has a plan with your tax dollars - and it doesn't involve making your life easier or better 😉

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
