The NDP leadership race is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the party into an unapologetically left-wing force.

Martin Lukacs argues that Avi Lewis’s campaign is the best chance to do that. breachmedia.ca/the-left-cas...

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.

On Thurs., Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. ET, we’ll be on Reddit taking your questions about the continued fallout of slashing aid for some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.

Liberals have moved so far right under Carney that they're practically sitting in the laps of the Conservatives.

With Bill C-12, Canada is repeating a century of anti-migrant scapegoating.

The new legislation will restrict refugee protections, increase deportations, and expand state powers, framing migrants as “dangerous” and “unwanted”—it’s a new chapter in an old Canadian playbook.

Hands down the best analysis I've read of last week's Fed-Alberta energy agreement. Trust me, @chrishatch.bsky.social's piece will make you both laugh and cry 👇

And now MAGA MAPLE is using the playbook.
