Here's my latest on Trump's tariff bombshell against Canada and the EU.
Seems like he is trying to change the channel on the Epstein dumpster fire.

"The United States, a country once governed by the rule law, is disintegrating before our eyes."
As long as Canada’s integrity lasts, it exists as a slap in the face to those who are hijacking the US. We’re in the crosshairs. Keep them elbows up.
This is not a fight about soyabeans and transistors. Trump is the front face of a right wing insurgency that has undermined the international rule of law. Canada is the front line standing up to his increasingly dangerous rhetoric.
Here is my latest piece.

Whimocracy is a form of government in which political power is vested in the tantrums and capriciousness of an unstable lunatic.

My Toronto Star op/ed: Poilievre's cavalier attitude toward civil liberties should be a warning to all Canadians. The premise of constitutionally entrenched rights and freedoms is that they exist to protect each of us, beyond the political motivations of government. benjaminperrin.ca/f/toronto-st...

Adolescence on Netflix is remarkable. It’s thrilling and moving, of course. But it’s also the rare piece of art that might actually do some good in the world. I’m glad it’s huge.

And just to reassure folks, my fight to make a more just world is just beginning.

Canada is Trump's number one enemy.
There is dark method in his madness. American Autarky is the economic philosophy of MAGA.
They stole it from Nazi economics.
It is about building a tariff wall and relying on politics of plunder.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Years ago when Jack Layton was running for mayor of Toronto, I was canvassing for him in St. James Town. I knocked on doors and asked if people where voting and if not, why? "My vote doesn't matter" is what I heard, time and time again. But it does. Please vote. You still have time.

Means nothing. Look for Product of Canada or at least Made in Canada--and double-check the labels. American brands are trying to obfuscate their labels so they don't lose market share.

For a detox from current politics, I encourage you to read "The Best Laid Plans" by Terry Fallis (2008). It's about a last minute candidate who ends up winning and "decides to see what good an honest M.P. who doesn’t care about being re-elected can do in Parliament."

Apparently, the Ontario government changed the wording of a City of Toronto development agreement that puts 5,000 affordable housing units at risk. If you have the remotest compassion for the 92,000+ people on a waitlist for Toronto, not to mention all other places, please don't vote for Ford!
