“In the 70s my grandfather David Lewis, one of the founders of the NDP, said: ‘Government and big business both hold hands in your pocket.’..They won public healthcare, pensions, the whole social safety net to catch ppl when they fall…That’s the tradition of struggle I was raised in” 🙌🏼 ♥️👍🏼

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

Almost 2/3 of Canadians want our government to recognize Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. Yet our political class remains deeply out of sync. Why?

Indeed. I'd actually go further than this and say that the real problem is that people treat the piecemeal de-escalation in one theatre of occupied Palestine as tantamount to a ceasefire in all parts. There has never been a comprehensive ceasefire for Palestinians.

What I wrote in The Nation:
As of writing this, a so-called ceasefire in Gaza is supposedly in effect. Despite this, Palestinians are still being routinely murdered and displaced in Gaza and in the occupied West Bank. The theft of Palestinian land via settlement and colonization remains ongoing. The Palestinians of occupied East Jerusalem are still under threat. The Palestinian citizens of Israel are facing some of the most oppressive days since the martial law on them was lifted in 1966. It is thus abundantly clear that the question of Palestine has not been resolved. And absent a comprehensive resolution of the question of Palestine, which must clearly guarantee our rights and our ability to return and live as equal and free people on the land, this change in American public perception against supporting Israel won’t just be magically stopped. Seeing as how Trump is in no way capable of facilitating this resolution, it is safe to assume that these changes in public opinion will only continue. It would be prudent, then, for Democrats up and down the ballot to quickly determine how to oppose genocide, apartheid, and colonialism and then articulate this opposition to the base, which is increasingly hungry for the moral clarity needed on this issue.

ICYMI: Last month, I condemned Carney's callousness on Gaza.

As Israel violates the "ceasefire", Canada must impose a real arms embargo and use every tool to end Israel's impunity.

Watch to the end.

I sat down for tea with Amanda Quance, an early childhood educator in Ottawa, on ECE Appreciation Day. The answer is no –– and we're about to find out the hard way.

🟢 New Press Statement - Hamas: — The horrific scenes visible on the bodies of the martyrs returned by the occupation, bearing marks of torture, abuse, and field executions, clearly reveal the criminal and fascist nature of the occupation army and the moral and human decadence this entity has reached, which doesn't differentiate in its aggression between the living and the dead of our people. As such, this constitutes a heinous crime that rises to the level of genocide against our Palestinian people. We call upon international rights groups, foremost among them the UN and the Human Rights Council, to document these atrocious crimes, open an urgent and comprehensive investigation into them, and bring the occupation leaders to trial before relevant international courts, as they are responsible for committing unprecedented crimes against humanity in our modern history. Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas 16, Oct Official website -Hamas movement This must be on the front page of every newspaper. It must be on every TV screen. This is one of the Palestinian bodies held hostage by Israel, returned through the International Committee of the Red Cross. This is one of the people CNN referred to, only as “deceased.” He was blindfolded, handcuffed, and hanged.

And here's another snippet:
Unfortunately, feature filmmakers love left-wing violence plots, and there seem to be far more ecoterrorists and violent leftists in movies than in real life these days. One way to explain it is that secret commando groups of violent guerrillas engaging in shootouts, car chases, becoming hunted fugitives work really well for movies, which only need to capture our attention for a couple of hours at most. Changing the world usually takes years or decades, and it requires the collective work of building coalitions, shifting public opinion, winning court victories, or passing legislation, which happens through meetings, maybe some lawsuits, maybe some protests and public events, more meetings, definitely some fundraising, and more meetings. I’ve seen climate and environmental and Indigenous and feminist and queer-rights victories and followed the underlying shifts in public opinion. None of it at the point of a gun, all of it from the often tedious, sometimes exhilarating work of activism. I yearn for more films like Rachel Lears’s Sunrise Movement documentary To the End that show how the world actually does get changed—and less nonsense about violence on the left.

Wrote a thing. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
The CSIS report declares, “Radicals will argue that peaceful politics will inevitably fail and that only violence will make a difference,” but I have no idea who these radicals are because in my 40 years around direct action organizing, I’ve only encountered theoretical enthusiasm for violence from the sidelines and the occasional young hothead (almost always white and male) in movements whose vast majority and leadership are committed to nonviolence. I do know someone who was part of a violent group in the early ’70s and then became wanted fugitive; he’s since become an ardent advocate of nonviolence. What too often gets described as left-wing violence at protests is property destruction, which can be dangerous and intimidating and is usually opposed by protest organizers, but should be regarded as distinct from harming human life. For example, at the 1999 protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle, the Black Bloc, a small cadre among the 50,000 protesters smashed a lot of shop windows quite spectacularly. But there are no reports of activists harming human beings. Police, on the other hand, used tear gas; pepper spray; rubber, plastic, and wooden bullets; concussion grenades; and armored vehicles against protesters bystanders resulting in many injuries. Nonetheless, for years afterward, mainstream media outlets portrayed this event as an occasion of shocking activist violence.
