We are not recession ready.
Of the 1.5 million currently unemployed only 35% are getting jobless benefits, the lowest rate of coverage in the history of the program (starting 1941)
Job 1 in this economic war is to get the automatic stabilizer (EI) fit for purpose again.

Armine Yalnizyan: This is war. Time for a wartime funding mechanism: Victory bonds
We can build resilience, trust and pride through government action. Here's a three-point plan to do so — and it's not through tax and spending cuts, Armine Yalnizyan writes.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.
That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Kevin O’Leary is a tv personality playing a successful businessman when in fact he’s a failed businessman somewhat like Donald Trump

The real (and shocking) story of Kevin O'Leary's business career
Buried in the back pages of the financial press last October was a story about the sale of Kevin O'Leary's mutual fund company, O’Leary Funds, to Canoe Financial.

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host.
Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders.
But don't worry it will be done with "care."

There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

Read the room. Canada is telling you to cancel this or reframe it. You are lending legitimacy to fascism. This is disgraceful.
