Wouldn’t it be nice if people were in as much of an uproar about housing affordability and greed as they apparently are about Trudeau and Katy Perry!? FFS 🤦♂️
Just last week, our Best Tacos roundup generated more outrage on social media than posts about genocide and climate change. WTF is going on?

The rent is too damn high, and the worst people imaginable are ruining Montreal
“Predatory property speculators are renovicting people out of their homes and running illegal Airbnbs, while new housing is geared to foreign owners and the ultra-wealthy.”

During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year.
Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corporations
Nearly all government departments and federally-funded organizations are expected to propose "savings" of up to 15 per cent of their spending in the next three years.

Liberals have been very concerned about mis- and disinformation in recent years, so when Mark Carney says carbon capture will allow for “decarbonized” oil, we should be clear that he’s engaging in active disinformation about climate change to please Danielle Smith and the Alberta oil industry.

Let's review:
1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon
2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke
4. Trump bombed Iran anyway
5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities
6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

Mark Carney was asked whether the US strikes on Iran were a violation of international law. In response, he ignored the substance of the question and listed off a bunch of grievances the West has with Iran.
It’s a shameful and cowardly response from someone who claims to defend international law.
