Public ownership of public wealth. Public control of public services. I’d much rather have an elected government in control of my health care and water and food safety than any for-profit corporation.

Housing is a human necessity and cannot be left to the market. This is an eviction, not a rent increase. Landlords aren’t interested in providing housing they’re interested in extracting profit from human needs. The Revolution Party would deprivatize housing www.revolutionparty.ca/policies/dep...

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

So glad the Liberals are stealing our ideas. Housing is a human need and we need to build homes until every person in Canada is housed. We also need to ensure that all the people whose homes are also their retirement funds can’t lose them when the real estate market crashes. revolutionparty.ca

One of the core parts of the Revolution Party platform is Eat the Rich. Even if you believe that billionaires earned their money the concentration of wealth is a core problem in our society. Billionaires shouldn’t exist while people go hungry. www.revolutionparty.ca/eat-the-rich

We hear a lot about how important competition is to our economy, but no profit-driven corporation wants competitors. A monopoly is infinitely better for extracting profit. So companies collude, merge, and suppress new entrants in order to maximize profits.

Nobel prize winning economist Angus Deaton realizing that maybe capitalism isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. He says that economists don’t pay much attention to power dynamics and ethics, and pay too much attention to efficiency which generally moves money to the top www.imf.org/en/Publicati...

Capitalism is an economic system where the means of production (factories, machinery, tractors, server farms) are privately owned and workers are paid wages to produce value using the tools owned by the capitalist. The capitalist extracts profit by underpaying workers and over-charging customers.

Hey internet, I’m running as an independent candidate in Edmonton Centre for the upcoming federal election and I need 100 signatures from people in the riding to get on the ballot. If you fit that description send me a message. You don’t even need to think I’d be good at the job!

At my last job a bunch of people spent a lot of time integrating a loan system in the app and no one seemed concerned about tying the business to the kind of financial instruments that caused the 2008 crisis

This is a horrific story and what me worse is that it’s basically the best case scenario. No one should go to the US for any reason. It’s unsafe and you can be detained for arbitrary reasons.
