Every time I try to think “why did this or that socialist project fail” the answer is usually something capitalist have done or do all the time and survive. So it feels like an insufficient answer. Capitalists are more powerful and better at centralizing power and deploying it without mercy.

A Moscrop-led NDP government will have nothing to say about the monarchy or Senate because we will be focused on building out the welfare state, ensuring Canadians can afford homes and food, and giving workers ownership and control of their workplaces.

“…beyond intentional attacks, drivers in cars, SUVs and trucks threaten the safety of our public spaces everyday but we treat the damage they do like the weather: something inevitable that just happens.”

This is Canada's future, mark my words.

This is exactly right. Unlike other parties, a new leader isnt going to clean house and install a whole new group of strategists. The party is rotten and until its internal democracy can be fixed, it will keep rotting.

Tossing this out in the #BikeTO world. Has anyone heard about a reversal of the bike lane installation in #TorontoDanforth? - Noting that IE12.4 (l. Jones Avenue from Queen Street to Dundas Street, uni-directional cycle tracks.) was approved. Thanks in advance. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

I know it's early but what seems clear is that tomorrow morning, Jagmeet Singh's resignation should be in an envelope alongside the resignations of Lucy Watson, Anne McGrath and Jennifer Howard.

Hot tip to the NDP: Shifting right as the left-wing option doesn’t work.

Build Canada subtweet

In the Toronto Star newspaper I wrote about procurement reform! It’s wonky & behind the scenes but it could radically make Toronto better. It needs a champion to push it thru every stubborn department tho: Mayor Chow. Make it a legacy project. Please read & share.

The thing about the NDP is that if you say you're moderating your policy goals to trade for better electoral outcomes -- which is entirely reasonable -- you've then got to deliver on the electoral outcomes.

“Therme falsely presented itself as an industry player that operated as many as half a dozen spas in Europe. In fact, it had built and operated just one, outside Bucharest, Romania” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

The NDP had a golden opportunity to capitalize on Trudeau’s failures and they squandered it. I’m still voting for them because technically they are the party closest to my beliefs but they need to clean house after they lose official party status www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

What I’d like to see the NDP talk more about and focus on: 1. Industrial policy, especially now 2. Building an economy where enterprises are increasingly owned and controlled by workers (related to 1) 3. Building things (which workers like to do, related to 1 and 2)

The NDP: "We cant adopt crazy left wing positions. We are trying to get elected." Canadians:

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Canada should just start emulating US bourbon at scale and call it that. US law protects the name “bourbon,” as an America-made booze; and so does our Spirit Drinks Trade Act. Who cares? Stop enforcing the law. Repeal it. Let the Golden Era of Great Canadian Bourbon begin! t.co/hV3a08iefO

I came out this morning and found this flyer on my Honda Odyssey. Just because I own a Honda doesn't mean I condone the man's actions or agree with all of his political beliefs, and I'm a little offended at the idea that I should be held responsible.

Drop something purple.

QRS with your wings #nerdlings. And old model I made to be something for dark elves.

Finished up some more tanks - then need some drivers added. #nerdlings #warhammer40k #astramilitarum #imperialguard
