Canadians are being crushed by the cost of living while those at the top hoard obscene wealth.Β 

We need a government with the courage to tax that wealth and invest it in what we actually need.

That’s how we build a strong, independent economy that can stand up to Trump and work for all of us.

If this federal government does not find some strength and stand up for Public Medicare, we’re going to lose it in Canada.

Diageo closes Ontario bottling plant but here’s the deal that keeps Crown Royal on LCBO shelves The provincial government said it has secured $23 million in new investments to support Ontario workers.

Doug Ford may have made a deal to keep Crown Royal in LCBO, but did nothing to prevent company from moving jobs from Ontario to USA. Vote with your dollars. Ontario has the power to kill another American alcohol company.Diageo closes Ontario Crown Royal bottling plant share.google/0MIxIAxluvYe...

Calling out each and every BC Liberal MP: are you going to stand with BC, our coastal waters, communities and Indigenous nations or support PM Carney as he tramples over these, puts our economy at risk and deepens the climate crisis?

#BREAKING: Today, I am announcing the Ontario NDP's Fans First plan: ban ticket resale above face value. If a ticket says $100, fans should pay $100. Not a cent more.

If Ford votes this down, fans will know exactly who to blame.

MESSAGE TO MAGA AMBASSADOR PETE HOEKSTRA
MESSAGE TO MAGA AMBASSADOR PETE HOEKSTRA YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

This Is Not the Time to Make Nice Earlier this month, Prime Minister Carney announced an invitation for Kevin Roberts, the architect of Project 2025, to meet with his Liberal Cabinet ahead of Parliament's return.

Here is my reflection on the PM's attempt to meet with the architect of Project 2025. There is no dialogue with those who brag about destroying democracy and suspending the rights of citizens.
This is the lesson that Europeans learned too late in the 1930s.

THE GAZA NIGHTMARE MUST END - CHARLIE ANGUS
THE GAZA NIGHTMARE MUST END - CHARLIE ANGUS YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Canada refused to sign an international letter calling out the Israel's attack on the media in Gaza. We established the Media Freedom Coalition and denounced abuses of the press in Hong Kong.
But radio silence about the IDF killing squads.
The world is watching.

Trump's has attacked a Canadian judge serving on the International Criminal Court.
Trump is providing cover for the crimes in the Gaza death camp.
Canada must speak up.
As a founding member of the ICC we must defend our justices.

THE GAZA NIGHTMARE MUST END - CHARLIE ANGUS YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Gaza is a death camp and the world is watching.
World leaders continue to tiptoe around the genocide. The international criminal court is gathering evidence of the crimes.
Ordinary people are standing up because our leaders fail.
Here's what you can do.

Even if the world pretends it isn't happening
Even if the politicians are silent
Even if the doctors are being killed
Even if there is no group for you to join
Even if you feel helpless
Even if people think you are crazy
You can still do something.
Kick at the darkness.

Israeli defence minister says he ordered attacks on Iran to β€˜undermine regime’ Israel Katz officially acknowledges goal of war, as Iranian missile hits hospital and Israel strikes nuclear site

Benjamin Netanyahu is an indicted war criminal.
And yet, the west obediently fall into line when he carries his permanent war campaign into more and more treacherous waters.
The bombing of Iran had nothing to do with nuclear threat, it was about regime change.
