“Milton Friedman’s misfortune is that his economic policies have been tried.” -John Kenneth Galbraith

What I wrote was based on the facts and evidence of economic history, not a just-so explanation where economic zealots ignore facts to conform to a theory that doesn't acknowledge the existence of banks, debt or money, and treats "production" as a black box. Post-war

In the News! Thank you to The Coast - Halifax/Kjipuktuk for the most recent piece on the misuse of NDAs, including quotes from Julie Macfarlane and Kristina Fifield and highlighting Can't Buy My Silence Canada upcoming events in Halifax! Read the article: thecoast.ca/news-opinion/h… Register:

🚨NEW: Poilievre has been winking at the same c*nspir*cy the*ry for years — and he just did it again. “You will own nothing and be happy” went viral on 4ch*n — and last week, it became a Poilievre catchphrase. Can he *still* say he doesn’t know the context? You tell me:

This is a bizarre and totally unjustified smear of Mark Wasyliw. There are lots of people across Canada who played a role in protecting Peter Nygard - silencing survivors, workers and journalists - who have never been held to account, and going after the partner of a defense

If you want an example of provincial governments punishing their own people in order to stick it to the federal government, here it is.

It's not an ad from the campaign. Some third party group threw it together.

This is because in many provinces, we use jails and remand for people who are homeless, have addictions or mental health crises. None of which are crimes, but the idea is that these people need to be "corrected" which for a lot of people equates to punishment. When people need

True North, the Dorchester Review, the Fraser Institute, the Frontier Institute are all running on claims that deny the history of Residential Schools. It's junk history, but they all keep pushing it.

Damn good band

The Bank of Canada has already been cutting rates ahead of the Federal Reserve. The point of saying something so obviously wrong is to create an alternative reality where someone else is to blame.

One would hope. The reality is that many power structures in Canada are react to women for reporting violence and crimes with DARVO. The women face reprisal, punishment, and often gag orders, while the powerful perpetrators are routinely protected and promoted to offend

This "summit" includes the people who caused the productivity crisis and the junk economics of the Fraser Institute. These people are basically the political equivalent of Theodoric the Medieval Barber in the old SNL sketch. Need a haircut? Bleeding. Legs crushed by an ox cart?

With all due respect to Mme. Poilievre, her husband routinely dogwhistles conspiracy theories that are delusional BS and he has no problem meeting with, defending and minimizing the behaviour of extremists whose idea of political discourse is a death threat.

People really need to understand how serious this is. "The stance taken by the Manitoba NDP is incompatible with the rule of law, incompatible with the presumption of innocence and incompatible with the Canadian Charter of Rights." When the Premier says “For somebody from
