Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

There have been good hymns and bad hymns in every age. At the same time the Church was singing the Christ hymn Paul quotes in Philippians, she was also seeking some shallow schlock hymns. The Christ hymn survives and the others disappeared. 1/3

So far in the #ndpleadership, I have found:
* Heather McPherson uninspiring;
* Avi Lewis annoying;
* Tony McQuail baffling;
* Yves Engler* insufferable.
If I had to vote today, it’d be between Rob Ashton and Tanille Johnston for #1 and #2.
(Engler isn’t vetted yet because he’s been playing games.)

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

I have no issue with the focus of the next federal NDP campaign being affordability.
My concern is that for some in the Party, “focus on affordability” has become code for “let’s toss marginalized folk (and especially trans folk) under the bus.”
Mamdani shows us it doesn’t have to be either / or.
