Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

This is the essay Albertans need to read going into the municipal election. I can’t say I’ve ever been more disgusted by public discourse anywhere in this country than the current race to the bottom for mayor. Calgary comes off as a city without a single courageous leader.
Regardless of statistics showing crime is dwindling, safety is a major concern for Calgarians—why?

In my latest essay, i explore this question, alongside the implications of letting our bourgeois fears guide our city’s policy agenda.
Are you afraid of poverty?
Why responding to middle-class fears won’t make Calgary a more equitable city

What got us here was “greed is good”, followed by unfettered neoliberalism and the orthodox belief that “free”markets had all the answers.

Now a handful of large companies and ultra-wealthy individuals control almost everything.

The worship of money, celebrity and power have led us to fascism.
My new book is about this! And almost no mainstream journalism outlet has had me on to talk about what is the really big story of this era! Go buy Corporate Control to learn how it happened.
I think in the long run, the really big story of this era is that about a dozen absolutely massive corporations took control of unprecedented swaths of the economy, human attention, and the flow of information.

I think many of our problems are downstream from that.
