So am I understanding this right? Alberta Premier Danielle Smith asked the Trump/MAGA regime (who are currently attacking Canada) to time their attacks in order to influence the Canadian Federal Election and benefit Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party?

TLDR: The paper I'm teaching tomorrow finds that the shadow of enslavement is SO LONG that there's NO level of saving, education, capital gains, wealth tax, or income redistribution that closes the racial wealth gap.
Only one thing closes the gap: REPARATIONS.

Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day.
Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

If America thinks tariffs will crush the resolve of Canadians – they’re wrong.
We will not roll over.
BC is stepping up to do our part by:
❌ Pulling US liquor off shelves
❌ Excluding US products from government purchases
We will not roll over.

Everyone can organize.
Everyone can contribute to social movements.
Everyone can do something, from somewhere.
None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic.

Here’s one easy trick to combat foreign interference in our media: Ottawa should enforce the law limiting foreign ownership of newspapers.
We are in effect paying foreign-owned media, like the National Post, to feed us propaganda.

I appreciate all the people recommending the Shock Doctrine. I've been thinking about what makes Trump's use of these tactics a little different.
In recent decades, shock tactics were used mainly to rapidly impose neoliberal economic policies. But what Trump is doing goes way beyond that.

Chaos and confusion. Somebody read @naomiaklein.bsky.social The Shock Doctrine as a manual, it seems. Time for people to read it again for countermeasures also.

In October 2023, a right-wing government swept to power in New Zealand on a wave of populist anger similar to Canada’s.
The results so far? Government debt forecast to rise. The deficit got worse. Unemployment is increasing. Craig Renney writes.

Tom Morello was right.
And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era.
It is time to organize.
Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us.
