I am begging my fellow Canadians to take a break for a second from obsessing about American corruption to focus on our home grown versions.
Ford is a corrupt crony goon who has done countless shady backroom deals. He wants to remove one of our most powerful tools to hold him accountable. Fuck that!
that depiction of him look like a wax figure though lol

so far removed from the violence of imperialism. yes the imperial boomerang exists and whatnot but the average american that posts their terrible takes and whines about how war inconveniences them personally is just so gauche
makes me physically sick to see americans prioritize their safety and comfort when talking about any sort of geopolitics. we talk about the israeli victim complex, but americas is even more disturbing
Due to Carney’s posturing, people’ll boast Canada also stayed out of Iraq. Wrong:
“Ironically, the Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and personnel in the Persian Gulf… will provide more support indirectly to this war in Iraq than most of the 46 countries that are fully supporting our efforts there.”

Gabriel isn’t sure what happened. He was chopping garlic in the kitchen. The storm outside was fierce, with howling wind and streaks of lightning flashing across the sky. Gabriel was safe, though. He wasn’t running water, wasn’t around electronics. Staying away from windows. He was simply prepping ingredients for his homemade hogao. Suddenly there was a massive bolt of lightning. The kitchen lit up like a solar flare, radiating blinding white light. Even before the thunderous boom that followed, Gabriel realized what was happening. The lightning had somehow got to him. It flowed through his body like a fish through water, a crackling charge that should have killed him. For an instant he saw through his own flesh, to the hard white bones beneath, as if the kitchen had become a giant x-ray chamber. Then it passed, so quickly the thunder hadn’t even caught up to it. He was still there, at the counter, breathing, living. He smelled an acrid mix of ozone and singed hair in the room. There was something else. Something else in the room with him. Watching him. Gabriel looked up. There on the ceiling, written in shimmering, phantom letters almost too transparent to see, was a nonsense phrase: SHOCK294.BMF. What the hell was going on?

Holy fucking shit, Americans have been stupefied by years of anti-communism.
This is fascism we're dealing with, not communism, and they're not the same.

The hammer and sickle flag of the Soviet Union, flown in the U.S.S.R. from 1922 through 1991. Михаил remembers his older brother, Питер, buying scores of poorly made knockoffs of the flag and then trading them on the black market with American tourists for Marlboros and Levis. Питер laughed his head off one time at the absurdity of an American college student who insisted his Wranglers were worth as much in a trade as Levis. They’re the same, he said in his broken Russian. Равны, равны! All jeans are equal, Питер told the confused American, but some are more equal than others.

Check out this CBC headline. If it were the officers accused of being racist the word ‘racist’ would have quotation marks.
Here is my latest. Sylvain Charlebois, Canada's beloved commentator on the food industry, thinks that not giving us access to raw milk is communism.

Canadian-built Roshel armored vehicles are being used by ICE right now in Minneapolis, including in today's operation where ICE murdered someone else.
I wrote about this company in December. And we know this thanks to the work of World Beyond War Canada.

Losers like this guy will tell you its "Trump's ICE" like liberal zionists tell you that its "Netanyahu's Israel". They were lying then, and theyre lying now.

Steven Universe vs. Hitler. Steven appeals to Hitler "what if you could change your mind, Hitler?" Hitler stares at Steven with angry intent. Garnet puts her hand on Steven's shoulder and says "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy Steven." Steven says "Damn."

RIP Michael Parenti.
The danger is not that neoliberalism is ending, but that it is being replaced by something worse: a world of militarized competition, eco-fascism, and technocratic management of permanent crisis. Acknowledging the collapse of the old order is not the same as building a democratic alternative to it.
Will Psyduck pass his driving test??
Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
A moment frozen in time. Chip mans the PR lines at Anderson, Wake, & Howe, and here he is in a frenzy, a blur of red telephones all demanding to be answered. The ParaMorTorque news broke this morning. The press is hounding the firm relentlessly. No Comment, Chip repeatedly tells whoever’s on the other end. Chip is so harried that one caller gets a question in before Chip can hang up. “What is the nature of evil,” the caller asks. “If God tolerates evil, he is wicked. If God cannot abolish evil, he is not all-powerful. Which is it, Chip?” Chip’s eyes dilate into two black spirals, infinitely spinning like the cursed buildings in a Junji Ito manga. The spirals are not metaphors.
