The financial time bomb at the NDP has been ticking for more than a decade. The party never changed how it fundraised after the per vote subsidy was eliminated, and handcuffed itself as the new finance laws which do not make it easy to dig out of a hole ...

The NDP may be in even bigger trouble than we think
Behind the party’s collapse lies a financial and legal time-bomb.

Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

I was happy to vote for this motion to increase funding to the VPL, and thank @seanorr.bsky.social and @copevancouver.bsky.social for bringing it forward.
It was a commitment we both ran on in the by-election.

India's attack on Pakistan is a declaration of Israel-style expansionism
Delhi has modelled its assault on Pakistan on Israel's aggression in Palestine - testing the world's tolerance for Hindu nationalist militarism and the erasure of international law

This is not war btwn two states, or just about Modi.
India is occupying Kashmir. There is no evidence that Pakistan was behind Pahalgam, but Indian imperial expansionism and Islamophobia drives this jingoism. Most impacted regions are lands of struggle - partioned Panjab & esp Kashmir. Free Kashmir

My pal from Pakistan was supposed to move back to Canada today.
Pakistan airspace closed.
She said India is sending drones all around Lahore, and they’re the “same drones Israel dropped on Palestine.”
I hope for everyone’s safety and that she can get here sooner than later.
