A friendly reminder that having house prices drop in one segment of one market doesn’t equate to affordability improving across the board.
Few are building homes that target the needs of half of the population, or those whose income sits below the median.
@UAlberta sued for violating protestors' Charter freedoms of expression, assembly, and association. This is a high-stakes case for Canadian democracy. sites.google.com/view/ualbert...

My latest is a reflection on the cycle of dread, disaster, and temporary reprieves we’re all navigating, what that cycle is doing to us, and how we can avoid losing ourselves to it.
This edition also includes a roundup of must-read pieces that have helped me think about this moment.

The immediate status quo, centrist attacks on Avi Lewis are precisely why he is effective and needed.
In face of growing right wing escalation, an unbashadely left opposition that is anti capitalist & internationalist is both principled *and* realistic.
Adorable timeline cleanse:

Screenreader failed to register the decorative first letter of an article, and read the word "fascism" as "ass-ism." I'm okay with that.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
Sean Orr has filed legal action against Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim for saying to media without evidence that Orr was dealing drugs on Christmas Day
@matthewremski.bsky.social with a succinct summary about Carney & Iran
youtube.com/shorts/WbzWl...
To everyone who cheerleaded Carney's faux speech in Davos & posturing as independent middle power -
His atrocious statement today backing US-Israeli attacks on Iran make clear that he & Canada are firmly aligned with dominant imperial interests.
And he did so while shaking hands with Modi in India
Mike Tan, running for a OneCity nomination, offers his perspective on Mayor Ken Sim/Cllr Zhou’s manipulation of the Chinese community against Cllr @seanorr.bsky.social
On top of this, I think Lenny owes an apology to everyone who lives in supportive housing, as well as their providers
Clearly stated, easy to understand, articulate and intelligent modern-context big picture critique of capitalism, on a mainstream news show. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems!
Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine.

A massive CBC investigation has confirmed that the Canadian government knew our weapons were reaching Israel through the "U.S. Loophole", and they were quietly investigating the legal fallout while publicly lying to us about it.

The answer is NOT THIS. It's actually better to NOTHING than to push this list of pathetic "reforms."
It's better to do NOTHING than this.
All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.
just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now
Fantastic, Mr. "Zionist Palestine" is going to assist in this exercise of ethnic cleansing 🙄

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.
Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.
We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:
