If it's not regime change, and it's certainly not "law enforcement," let's just call it a nuclear-armed oil heist.

Canada’s push for so-called ‘national interest’ projects has sparked opposition from Indigenous leaders.

This highlights how Bill C-5 unfolded, from protests to its passage into law, as First Nations warn legislation could threaten Indigenous rights.

The Pathways megaproject is a linchpin of the “grand bargain” energy deal signed by Ottawa and Alberta. Many questions hang over the project though, including how much water Pathways — or any next generation carbon capture initiative — will actually consume.

Reforms from a flurry of government announcements gesture at the right ideas but fall short in scale and implementation.
This is why BC’s housing crisis hasn’t been solved yet

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

These 2,900 individual billionaires could lose 75% of their wealth and still be richer than 4 billion people.

Inequality is eating the whole world alive.
There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion.

The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

It was time a decade ago. It's way past time now.

Enviro studies graduates tell me that the only jobs on offer are in oil and gas.

That is cruel.

They desperately want to be part of building a thriving future, not burning it down.

They have the skills, they deserve the opportunities.
It’s time for the NDP to tell the truth: we must get off fossil fuels fast—with no worker left behind.

Today I’m unveiling our Green New Deal: a plan to tackle both the climate and affordability crises by creating 1M good jobs, lowering bills, and building a new economy.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Canadians don’t need more platitudes or private market incentives, they need real solutions.

We can't rely on the market to fix what it broke. We need a massive, wartime-level investment in affordable public housing.

Housing is a human right. Let's start acting like it.

Big news today, as Ecuador has revoked the licence for a Canadian company to develop a massive gold mine.

Brandi Morin reported from Ecuador on this mining project in May, with locals telling her it was a ‘ticking time bomb.’

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
