  1. Mark Carney is using the threat of Trump to remake Canada in ways that should alarm us
    by Linda McQuaig September 21, 2026

    Carney is taking advantage of the fear and loathing Canadians feel towards Trump to justify remaking the country in a way that primarily benefits business interests, not the rest of us.

  3. Quoting from Lindy Edwards’ *How to Argue with and Economist* (2nd Ed, 2007) again (pp8-9) — tell me that you can’t see #AlboPM #Labor Govt doing the exact same thing as the #Coalition did under #Howard. Go on, tell me… I’m all ears.

    “After four years in office the Coalition [the Howard govt] had reached the same conclusion Labor [the Keating govt] had reached six years before. Being a social progressive was identical to being a liberal conservative. Both amount to a commitment to free markets, with a caring eye to those suffereing through the transition. To the extent that there is any view of how to move forward, both parties had come to the same conclusion: that the policy elite in Canberra were right, and that the punters just didn’t understand. Both sides had concluded that the public were battered, bewildered and didn’t realise it was all for their own good. Both sides talked endlessly about needing to ‘explain’ things better to the electorate.”

    Go on, tell me it’s not all Libs-Labor conflation. Tell me this is not 2007. That we are indeed living through 2027. Go on…

  8. Watching daytime TV with an elder the other day. Struck by how many ads for charities (intereting reflection on demography) . Matters arising ...
    why is RLNI a charity rather than something like fire and rescue?
    Why is the state that sends people to harms way in war zones, not taking responsibility for their aftercare?

    #Bill14 & #Bill15 are #undemocratic bills that #BCNDP is shoving through. This #BCgovernment, under greasy #JohnHorgan groomed super sellout, former civil liberties lawyer guy, #DavidEby - is breaking its own law under the Declaration of the Rights of #IndigenousPeoples.

    This type of #neoliberalism is right in line with #BillC5 from #GovernmentOfCanada under #MarkCarney federal Liberals(Conservatives, basically). They take actions which are against the publics' interests. They serve corporations over people & environment. They are always greenwashing & whitewashing, while helping with ecocidal corporate plundering & endangering our liveable futures.

    These corrupted, corporate lobbyist pandering governments don't really give a damn about #IndigenousCommunities - they still want to exploit lands & steal resources without prior consultation or consent.
