Mr Suzuki had always been an optimist.
This is a very sad article.
Neoliberal politics over the last 40+ years have brought us here.
Unfortunately I don’t see a winning progressive alternative in Canada.

Canada's plan is to keep straddling the fence on Palestine for as long as possible until forced by public sentiment and international pressure to inevitably come down on the side of the Palestinians.
But taking a stand now would require empathy and courage, so of course the Liberals won't do it.

If I'm not mistaken the plan for 195 PUBLIC transitional care beds has now become 178 PRIVATE transitional care beds.
Tim Houston isn't opening beds. He's laundering healthcare to private interests.

Unless capping the number of international students also magically creates the millions of units of housing that should've been built in Canada over the last three decades but weren't because all levels of government decided housing should mostly be left to the free market, I'm gonna guess no.
Cap on international students is here. But can it fix the housing crisis? - National | Globalnews.ca

No. When it comes to viral infections, your immune system is not a muscle. It doesn't need to be worked out repeatedly to get stronger. Probably quite the opposite, in fact.

But why aren’t we talking as much about the greedy investors who are hoovering up housing supply to line their pockets???
