If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

There is no private sector solution to Montreal's housing and homelessness crises
Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada needs to realize that the private sector won't solve housing and homelessness crises.
“Let’s be clear: There is no private sector solution to the housing crisis. Our society no longer considers housing a right, but a privilege, and as such, the private sector is only going to prioritize high-end housing.”
“Building more luxury homes doesn’t create more affordable housing.”

Iran has been getting a lot of Chinese and Russian equipment, and it isn’t like Ukraine is suddenly doing well in the war.

One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.

The City of Montreal should be ashamed of its handling of the homelessness crisis
If the City of Montreal wants to house the homeless — and it should — it needs to be leading the development.
“If the City of Montreal wants to house the homeless — and it should — it needs to be leading the development. We can’t depend on the private sector, and tolerating homelessness is far more expensive than fixing the problem. Montreal needs to stop accepting homelessness as inevitable.”

I’ve not met a single person in the club circuit or the industry who has a nice thing to say about Bill Maher. Anyone who has ever encountered him says he’s insufferable. I know one of his friends and the closest thing to a compliment they could muster is “Bill’s Bill.”

Observations from Montreal
An ever-changing collection of commentary and observations by Montrealers or about Montreal politics and culture.
“As Pierre Poilievre’s favourability nears rock bottom, we remind you that he voted against the Canadian Dental Care Plan, $10/day child care, the National School Food Program and the Canada Child Benefit — all while whining about the affordability crisis.”

“Danielle Smith doesn’t care about Canadian sovereignty, and it shows whenever she speaks to the American far-right, which is unfortunately often. Her actions — always immature, often childish and completely unacceptable for any Canadian politician — have proven her unworthy of her office.”

There is no evidence to suggest that back-to-work policies increase productivity or improve morale. They do help managers feel like they are in control.

I have a recurring fantasy that there are pipeline proponents out there with arguments that do not sound like statements of belief in a cargo cult. Honestly, people like Carson do not live in the real world.

David Frum is a right wing nut job who just happens to not like Trump. He is not an ally and supports invading most of Latin America.

Chris Murphy: "At some level he's winning tonight because clearly part of his intent here was to distract the American people -- you and I -- from what's happening here at home. You have 20 million families who are getting massive increases in their healthcare premiums. People will die."

This assumes that Russia is on a path to invade all of Europe. That requires evidence that is Russia's goal, and that Russia could actually do this. Based on three years of war, I don't think this evidence exists.
