The landlord class has never had it so good, but you wouldn’t know that from Canada's media—whose sob stories about “mom-and-pop landlords” cover up the exploitation of the housing market. We made a @TheBreachMedia video to explain the media's formula.

To my journo friends, on World Press Freedom day, especially the one's like me working from relative safety in Canada. I am angry at the state of journalism, and I am angry at the forces standing against us, but I am also angry at our lack of collective fight.

I’m increasingly losing faith in our institutions and in electoral politics. I’m increasingly convinced that the best path for justice and equality is outside of these spaces and that we need to deprioritize them.

"In 1956, I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no 'two evils' exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say." - W.E.B. Dubois It was…

Reading this Ed Broadbent speech from 1969 and trying to imagine a mainstream left politician saying something similar today. I can't think of many who would -- or could. jacobin.com/2023/10/canada…

People have been asking me lately, "Why Dubois?" Why is W.E.B. Dubois the "father of American Marxism". Wasn't he just a liberal? Didn't he say some random stuff pulled out of context? Carlos Garrido recently wrote a brilliant paper on this, but unfortunately, it's behind a…

End of an era. I got to record the preamble to the time signal when I started at CBC In Saskatchewan. That’s when I really felt like I’d made it: cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

The enemy is the capitalist class. And if you try to subordinate a working class Party to the literal ruling class, get ready for push back, and get ready to have a talk with the people you tell everyone not to listen to, because you're afraid they'll learn Marxism. >

I don't follow how some supposed "experts" on the Internet claim that Canada's Online News Act threatens to 'disrupt' the free flow of information on the Internet. There is no free flow of information on the Internet at the moment. /1

So workers must pay the price for corporate profiteering - the cause of inflation - with higher interest rates, making the affordability crisis worse for them. If the higher rates do as the Bank of Canada wants workers also pay with their jobs. This is class war! #canlab

On this day in 1935, more than 1000 unemployed men from the western provinces boarded freight cars in a mass demonstration known as the "On to Ottawa Trek" to confront Prime Minister R. B. Bennett over the government's Relief Camp efforts. #canlab #cdnpoli

It amazes me how seemingly universal and timeless the story of Maritimers going west is, myself included. If dreading this article and seeing the few pic elicits the response it did in me, I cant wait to get my hands on a copy of @DBCalabrese’s book. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

How would have Marx qualified our current global system? Is it still classical monopoly capitalism? The answer is no. Here's how every single prediction Marx made about the collapse of the capitalist mode of production already occurred, yet the Western left missed it -🧵

So who's going to write the Lightfoot analysis that takes a critical look at the state of Canadian institutions today and how they actively undermine clandestine expressions of what Canadian nationalism looks like today?

Only reason @psac_afpc members have a better deal today is because they took action and withdrew their labour - hopefully this is a message for everyone who said: "But private sector workers have it worse" that unions works. Solidarity with CRA workers who still on strike ✊️
