This is what oligarchy looks like:
If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.
If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.
Obscene.

CBC is Canada’s most trusted news source—yet it gets less than 10 cents /day per person in funding. That’s 60% less than other public broadcasters.
We don’t need more cuts. We need proper investment.

On June 17, 1958, the Second Narrows Bridge in Vancouver was nearing the end of its construction.
But that day, without warning, several spans collapsed, sending 79 workers into the water 30 metres below.
This is the story of the deadly collapse.

Companies are raking in profits with no sign of stopping. That money goes to the billionaires, instead of benefitting us, or our communities. Some of it needs to go back into our pockets. That's #BasicIncome.

She just gave one of the most iconic speeches ever
- it's cheaper than poverty
- encourages work and entrepreneurs
- cuts crime and helps victims of abuse

It uses old colonial tropes by portraying Arab cultures and societies as backward or “savage” and Israel as a “villa in a jungle.” In this way, Israel is cast as the “white saviour” on a civilizing mission. A liberal bastion in the midst of terror and cruelty.
