A nice Remembrance Day read from @maxfawcett.bsky.social
In the age of selfishness, let’s rediscover our sense of shared sacrifice
Remembrance Day is a reminder of what we were willing to fight for in the past — and how much it mattered that we fought together.

It's remarkable that PressProgress is doing a campaign like this at all, whereas for Rebel Media it's the core of their business model.
PressProgress is increasingly important as legacy media decays. Slide 'em a few bucks if you can.

Public money going for a strip club?
Welcome to public interest Doug Ford style.
He should at least tell us which members of his cabinet checked out the joint prior to handing over millions that could have been spent on dealing with the small town hospital crisis.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

This number is huge
I don’t like huge deficits when the money is just spent with no long term ROI
Spending that results in longterm returns either with job creation or revenue growth - I can support
It’s more like the New Deal or Marshall plan which resulted in growth

A reduction in 40,000 positions by giving people early retirement, over 4 years, to return to the same staffing levels of 3 years ago, is *not* throwing 40,000 people out of work. Stop being silly.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Every Canadian should watch the Rosemary Barton interview with Poilievre. The moment he's asked to move from criticism to solutions, he devolves into a simplistic, pedestrian pretender. When asked how he would get tariffs lowered, he has NOTHING but to say Carney "promised". Just a joke. #cdnpoli

Hey remind me, has Pierre Poilievre finally completed his standard security check yet and managed to get the normal, standard security clearance that everyone else even close to his position has?
No?
STILL REFUSES TO?
Hmm.
Wonder what the REAL reason for that is?

I hope that the Premier reconsiders her desire to invoke the “notwithstanding clause” in dealing with Teachers.
This very rarely used clause, stripping Canadians of civil rights, has no place in collective bargaining.
General strike would be a commensurate response.
