Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence.

Maria Corina Machado – awarded the 2025 #NobelPeacePrize – has spent years working for the freedom of the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair.

"I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize because they said I'd done too much peace. The most peace anyone has ever done. They said if I did any more peace then peace would cease to exist. Phenomenal amounts of peace, huge levels of peace" x

“Despite ending dozens of imaginary wars and getting nominated by a war criminal, MAGA’s prince of peace came up short in his very public bid to acquire the Nobel Prize, which he only wanted because they gave it to the guy who’s made him feel small and inadequate for over a decade.”

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

I think the HoC needs a big jar in the middle of the floor that a politician needs to put a twoonie into each time they say something false, misleading, or heckle pointlessly during sessions.

We’d wipe out the debt in one session.
