Language is one of humanity’s most unique and powerful tools. We are amazing at imagining pictures created through words - almost to the point that even the most fantastical things can seem real. But how might this extraordinary ability backfire as we try to chart the course for the 21st century?

Federal + provincial govts still spending billions on industrial policy without having "a" coordinated and coherent Industrial Policy for the 21st century. Such a framework should be a top priority for Team Canada. At least as important as internal trade. environmentaldefence.ca/report/pipel...

Of course Poilievre is standing by a candidate who made despicable comments about Indigenous people. When people show you who they really are, believe them.

Openly contemptuous of multilateral approaches, along with the institutions and alliances through which they have functioned, Trump adopts a ‘transactional’ style of operating. His plan, essentially, is to run a global extortion racket.

NEW: Canadians are desperately in need of knowledge of our history of protest and activism. Feel good slogans like “elbows up” or consumer initiatives to “buy Canadian” will not go far in building a collective consciousness that will move us toward something more than a romanticized status quo.

Despite what the major parties and our media tell you, this election is not just about whether you will get a dollar’s relief, here or there, through lower tax, or cheaper petrol: no, it is about humanity, and humanity’s survival. #auspol

WATCH | Western media seems more absorbed in the drama of a leaked group chat among US officials than in the grave reality of its intended purpose. Trump's administration has killed over a hundred Yemeni civilians since launching its airstrike campaign on March 15.

Not only does the focus on antisemitic incidents draw attention away from the death toll in Gaza and the muzzling of voices condemning it, it also amplifies calls by mainstream Jewish orgs like CIJA and B’nai Brith for more repressive measures against peaceful opposition to Israel’s genocide.

It is obvious that Israel does not allow itself to be bound by ceasefire terms, the UN, or international law. It exists in a state of exception, unrestricted by any law or agreement, its violent expansionism fuelled by ordnance from the very countries that claim to endorse a “rules-based order.”

The Wall Street Journal warns that Trump’s “dumbest trade war in history” could lead to recession. But his policies might not be born out of ignorance, but cold-blooded tactics designed to advance the interests of those best positioned to take advantage of economic chaos.

Federal Conservative politicians are seeing much higher engagement on social media than Liberal or NDP politicians, a boost that can mostly be attributed to Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter in 2022.
