Mark Carney just committed Canada to spend 5% of GDP on defence—more than double NATO’s target.
No serious debate. No scrutiny. Just consensus from a political class sleepwalking into permanent militarization while public services decline. canadiandimension.com/articl…

Quote of the Week:
“At its inception and in its best moments, the church as Christ’s body offered the world communion where there was previously animosity, ploughshares and pruning hooks from swords and spears, the peaceable kingdom come alive. The church not only welcomes the stranger, but is the stranger, constituted as she is entirely by migrants, herself a migrant through the world.”

Galen Weston is privitizing Canadian healthcare with the help of the Con Premiers.
It took me a year to get this data because Shoppers Drug Mart didn’t want it public. It reveals Ontario taxpayers footed a $61M bill for more than 1.2 million meds checks done by Shoppers over 14 months, via @TorontoStar: thestar.com/business/shopper…

Jesus Christ could return & be the leader of the Liberal party and he still wouldn't win. With corporate media, social media & unacknowledged irregular warfare by hostile nations, they'll install the Cons unless something is done to fight the information warfare being waged on us

The Holy Family is still among us here and now, in the faces of the refugee, the immigrant, the oppressed, the stranger, the unhoused, the sick and poor. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” ~Matthew 25:35
Merry Christmas

BE CAREFUL. Feminism isn’t about any particular gender being above reproach. Anyone who tries spinning Freeland’s departure as anti-female is obviously no feminist and is cynically using that unconscionably as a weapon for their own gain. You don’t fool me and you’ll be exposed.

Canada has no healthcare insurance executives denying medical care to people who pay them premiums for greater profits.
Instead we have Provinces underfunding our universal healthcare in favour of other political agendas and privatizing healthcare for greater corporate profits.

May we all take inspiration from the life & work of Rabbi @Mivasair, a lifelong human rights champion who fearlessly challenges, in the great prophetic tradition, those who support & sustain the systems of apartheid & genocide. Equally important, he walks with and accompanies

The moral panic over boarder enforcement is nothing more than an extremist ploy to scapegoat Black and brown people as the cause of hardships actually caused by bad housing and social policy. Blaming immigrants will not make conditions better for people in Canada. (1/4)
ALT A photo of Leah speaking in the House of Commons is framed in NDP orange on a black background. The text reads: “Let’s call it what it is. The moral panic over border enforcement is racist. It blames the most vulnerable people in our communities for government failures. Elected officials must be brave enough to reject extremism and stop putting peoples’ safety at risk.” “Leah Gazan, MP, Winnipeg Centre. NDP”

I see X as a charnel ground, filled with the rot of disinformation, disrespect, dysphoria. This is one of the charnel grounds where I practice, with the intent to infuse a bit of sanity & wisdom into its polluted stream & work with my own sorrow around this kind of suffering.

✔️ No mailout voter cards
✔️ No online voting
✔️ No voting by phone
and finally, on election day
✔️ @electionsns website crashing as voters attempt to locate their polling station
@TimHoustonNS owns this unmitigated catastrophe of disorder, misinformation and voter suppression.

Nothing quite as Peak Liberal as wearing pearls while making a show of helping the poors and implementing a “tax holiday” that fuels right-wing anti-tax politics instead of passing progressive price controls or corporate tax hikes

I was probably the only politician at the anti NATO protests in Montreal last night and I can tell you first hand that the condemnations about this being an antisemetic hate mob are completely false and manipulative. It was an anti war protest. #cdnpoli

What a troll. The ICC found reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu has committed crimes against humanity, including the use of starvation as a weapon. Canada is legally obliged to assist the court as a signatory to the Rome Statute. It's not "woke" it's international law.
