My book list on fascism "Liberals use “fascism” to identify uniquely authoritarian politicians – exceptions to status quo neoliberal order. Rather than an aberration, fascism operates through everyday violences of colonial occupation, capitalist circuits of extraction & racial terror."

I fell like there’s a vast ocean between what the average white person thinks policing is for and what Black and brown people know policing is for. Cops have no duty to protect anybody and certainly no interest in protecting journalists—as evidenced by them shooting journalists literally on purpose.

NEW: Contrary to his assertions, Carney’s housing plan does not replicate WWII-era housing policies. In fact, it does just the opposite. It continues the legacy of corporate welfare that replaced this nation’s heroic wartime housing efforts.

When people argue that Canada is a settler colonial state, there is no threat of criminal sanction. Yet, the same evaluation of Israel is labelled hate speech and the call for a free Palestine can invite legal consequences. This incongruity is very largely the work of the pro-Israel lobby.

The housing crisis will not be resolved by increasing supply, but by increasing the right kind of supply. Constructing more homes will only lower costs if they come with long-term affordability covenants, are kept out of reach of investors, and are paired with significant non-market alternatives.

Canada has more than enough homes for citizens and non-citizens alike—all 40 million of us. The trouble isn’t that there are too many people or too few houses, the trouble is who owns the houses and why.
