With the economic statement coming out today expect a ton of caterwauling over the deficit. Don't fall for it, those who love starving gov't of revenue use deficits they create to justify cutting services we all need.
The only things that matter regarding deficits are how they are created #cdnpoli

Legislating postal workers back to work undermines their right to collective bargaining. Shame on the Canadian government for pulling this shit time and again.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.
