if you're printing radical antifascist literature, buy an old used printer, preferably researching to get one without some of these ID'ing things, and NEVER EVER connect it to the internet. Only use a trusted USB stick, and don't use it for anything that could get traced back to you.

Geopolitics is moving fast. This new security group is composed of 18 European countries, and Canada. This is an era defining move, spurred on by the seeming abandonment of Ukraine by the US. Canada is on the right side here and needs to triple down on committing to this as quickly as possible

This seems like encouraging news. Obviously there are more interprovincial trade barriers to remove, and they haven’t announced the full details yet. But if they can keep banging away over the next month and keep removing more restrictions that will be a welcome (and critical) development

Decarbonization only works if the line can really target things like 401 traffic and not just airplane trips. And as a bonus a proper modernized system should allow CNs lines to start going exclusively freight so that trucks can be removed as well. The public needs to force them to do it right

I have a lot of thoughts about the recent high speed rail developments in the corridor But the post below best sums them up. The plan is imperfect. But there’s an opportunity to put the boots to the government so they fix the flaws before going ahead with it Be loud & obnoxious so they do it right

Our Heritage Minister is currently outlining a vision for the cbc that involves increased funding, removal from political influence, and ending ads in public affairs broadcasts. A fantastic plan to take into a federal election.

I needed something to cheer me up and as is often the case the answer was Shawarma. Shelby’s Legendary Shawarma (apparently a small Ontario chain) just opened up in one of the new ‘Midtown’ Kingston buildings. A few bucks over priced but overall really good

Even one day in an ICU unit in a Canadian hospital will make you realize how fucking important universal health care is Knowing you are going to have to come back to an ICU for several weeks (at least) and never have to think about going bankrupt reminds you how cruel and inhumane the US system is

Stealing from Loblaws is justified. And if you are a nondescript white suburbanite you should steal double for those who will be racially profiled. They can introduce all the tech they want. People will always find away around it, especially when it comes to a price gouging corporation like Loblaws

I want to tell a short story about my day today that has radicalized me even more to stand up for Canada… Both of my parents had medical emergencies today. One is spending the night in an emergency ward. The other required a 4 hour long life saving surgery and is in the ICU… 1/

No, Canadians will never vote for the Democrats – we would form a separatist party and vote for that

Canada and the EU are really going to have to speedrun all new security and economic strategies in the next few months. Shits getting weird way faster than most people thought and everyday a transition isn’t underway is a critical day wasted.

You can’t even make ground in the polls against Doug Ford. You have nothing to be proud of right now. You need to start cooperating with other parties for the sake of Ontario or be the reason the ONDP collapses into obscurity. You are failing to meet the moment and voters see that.
