So PLEASE, could we just move on! And invest in the infrastructure we actually need to hasten our transition off fossil fuels, leave this deadly industry behind, and create hundreds of thousands of new green jobs that are insulated from Trump and the U.S.

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.
I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.
We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

There is something terribly wrong when the top of mind policy goal is building new oil and gas pipelines, as Canada burns. If we want major projects let’s decarboize the grid and retrofit every building. @mark-carney.bsky.social

Last night NDP voters saved Canada from the surging hard right, but had to sacrifice our own party in the process.
Today the battle begins for a system where we don't have to do that any more.
We badly need a party that can save Canada from the oligarchs who brought us all to the brink.

In the 1958 Diefenbaker sweep, the CCF won 8 seats and 9.5% of the vote. Better than the NDP yesterday. We should seriously reflect on building a new political movement, as they tried to do via the New Party which became the NDP?

Duverger’s Law holds that first past the post, single member electoral systems tend to produce two party systems. Tomorrow’s federal election looks set to mark a return to the norm. #cdnpoli

Tom Gunton provides an excellent critique of proposals to build new oil pipelines in Canada. In todays Globe ROB. The idea sounds good but the economics don’t work.

New from me. The way Danielle Smith behaves about tariffs raises an important and disturbing question: does she know we can all see and hear her? #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...
Opinion: Does Danielle Smith know we can all see and hear her?
The Alberta Premier’s spectacle of naked self-interest has been broadcast for all to see. Does she think everyone’s too stupid to notice?

Export industries are critical, writes Jim Stanford, but almost 80 per cent of what we produce is by Canadians, for Canadians and never crosses a border.

There is no shortage of good ideas for disentangling Canada from the U.S. and investing in more resilient alternatives. What all of these ideas have in common is a foundational belief in and commitment to the public interest.
