What Canada’s public sector voting divide could mean for future elections
New research suggests the government’s intention to reduce the size of the federal public service could very likely drive some Liberal voters back to the NDP in the next federal election.

If ever you want to see blatant bias by the proponents of “objectivity” in media, compare how quickly they ran with the 40 beheaded Israeli babies hoax without fact checking and the ongoing bare minimum acknowledgment of the deaths of 20,000 Palestinian children.

The ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant are binding, meaning its 124 member states including Canada are obligated to arrest the suspects should they come here and transfer them to the Court. While a trial may never become reality, the ICC warrants are hugely symbolic of the demand for justice

The choice in groceries boils down to whether we want food grown by workers exploited by Canadian companies or American companies. Companies and exploitation being the common point I hope more of us see how impossibly unjust the system is that we can’t easily make ethical choices.
