“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Privatization erodes accountability. Once public services become businesses, decisions serve investors before communities, and the people those systems were built for lose any real voice in how they’re managed. It’s democracy hollowed out through contracts.

Why not offer the public workers of British Columbia and their families something to be thankful for?

Nothing but misleading lip service from the BC government. The NDP is supposed to be the party of labor. Live up to your reputation and set a good example for non-NDP provinces. NEGOTIATE IN GOOD FAITH. EVERY PREVIOUS CONTRACT HAS SEEN BCGEU WORKERS FALL FURTHER BEHIND.

Neutrality is now impossible because inaction aids and abets the fascist coupe in power.

If you don’t speak out, stand up and support The Constitutional Resistance and CHOOSE to do nothing

you are passively supporting the fascist overthrow of America.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

On this day in 1971, John Lennon released ‘Imagine.’ A piano, a dream, and a plea for peace—five decades later, it still feels like the world’s most beautiful what-if.

The idea that everyone has intrinsic rights to life and liberty was a radical break with millennia of human history. It’s the moral foundation of America, Elaine Pagels writes—and it’s worth preserving.
