To end homelessness we must reclaim our housing infrastructure from the investor class, produce homes as if they were essential goods rather than investment vehicles, and ensure that everyone has the resources to lead dignified, comfortable lives. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

NEW: Despite Mark Carney’s lofty claims that our old relationship with the United States is ā€œover,ā€ Canada’s massive planned increases in military spending will only deepen its entanglement with the US war machine, writes Owen Schalk. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

This article is spot on. Consider the 1960s, when popular democratic forces in Canada won Medicare, massive coop housing program, near-universal Unemployment Insurance, Canadian Pension Plan. In USA, the equivalent "Great Society" died as wealth was directed into its Vietnam War.

In the wake of Trump's tariffs, those on the left saw a glimmer of an opportunity. Economic delinking from the American empire might be put on the table. A radical departure from neoliberalism might finally be realized. So far, none of this is happening. canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

The West cannot have its cake and eat it. Either it supports Israel, or it supports the rule of law. Israel’s ā€œright to self-defenseā€ does not permit war crimes or genocide, period. NEW from Derek Sayer (derek sayer): canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
