While Tesla's profits have fallen 37% and 14,000 workers were laid off, Musk just received a $1 trillion worth bonus.
Robert Reich shows how capitalism has become so destructive for any sense of the common good. We need guardrails and we need to put them on as fast as possible.
"To be called woke in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult." -- Pope Leo
Only spiritual understanding can provide a way forward - not one based on judgment, greed and small-mindedness of me and mine but the heart woke to the suffering of all.

People holding hands showing unity
Every so often, especially during economic downturns, racism pokes its ugly head. At present, ultra-right and fascist groups, spurred by 'populist' rhetoric by Trump and similar politicians, have emboldened racists. Still when we stand united, racism, like all lies and hatreds, in time will recede.
Diljit Dosanjh @daljitdisanjh posting: 'ONE LOVE ❤️' and 'Thank you'

'No Kings' Protests are a growing movement. The key is applying pressure on authoritarian regimes and billionaire backers through corporate blackouts is the only way to remind corrupt politicians that the real power is with the people.

A look at what's at stake with the Canada Post strike. The Carney Liberals are beholden to American corporate interests that want to dismantle public postal service in Canada in order to privatize it. Postal Service must be supported as a nation-building initiative.

The last 30 days have often felt more like summer than Fall in southern Ontario. Rain has mostly been missing too. Certainly uncanny but enjoying going outdoors.

Expansive photo of Wasaga Beach highlighting the Largest Freshwater Beach as a public treasure.
Development that destroys a public treasure that generations would enjoy is never progress. We need to elect politicians who start thinking again of the public good and not what makes developers profit at any cost. Development needs to be measured in human terms not just monetary profit.
Ontario Government wants to open up a large part of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park for development. This is the Largest Freshwater Beach in the world. With development the Beachfront and sensitive habitat are threatened.

This image of a mother holding her starving child is a poignant image of children and families suffering in Gaza.
Aid needs to flow freely and must never be blocked by any nation or power. The lives of all children matter and conflict must never make us forget our responsibility to protect them.

Graphic with pie charts showing that 97% of Climate Scientists agree on human-caused climate change, but 41% of the public believes that climate change is human caused
Let's put science and evidence into these discussions. Most scientists (97%) agree on human-caused climate change. Recent studies, such as by Cornell University's ScienceAlert, have found 99.9% of scientific papers agreeing on it but the public due to disinformation thinks there's a gap.

Right-wing politicians will call citing science behind climate change politicizing a crisis such as wildfires. Media and social media controlled by this ideology also denies the reality. Instead conspiracy theories are peddled, such as governments seeding clouds or crazed arsonists setting fires.
Wildfires are having a devastating effect in Manitoba with Premier Wab Kinew declaring a state of emergency. He describes how fires were previously isolated but climate change has exacerbated them to become intense and widespread, rather than local and isolated.

Map of Canada showing Alberta
Alberta separatist threats may soon fizzle out even if Carney wins, not because Danielle Smith will put Canadian unity first. If the oil slump continues due to increased output by Saudi Arabia and OPEC+, and prolonged US-China trade war under Trump. Alberta will be forced to shift priorities.
Robert F. Kennedy is into medical conspiracies about vaccines, COVID-19 or WiFi causing cancer. Given this, it makes sense that Trump would have him in charge of health. The aim is to gut health, so that medical experts would not look after health but it would serve interests of American oligarchs.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is aiming to cut 20,000 jobs at agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Canada may be positioned to recruit some of these experts.

A photo of the passengers on board the Komagatu Maru including front row Gurdit Singh
Early Sikhs settled in the Lower Mainland, BC often facing racism. As India was a British colony, Sikhs could not be directly barred from migrating to Canada. So Direct Passage Voyage ordinance was enacted to bar them. This colour bar was challenged during the brave but sad Komagatu Maru journey.

Sikh Heritage Month graphic
April is Sikh Heritage Month in Canada, a time to celebrate the contributions of Sikh Canadians with the month-long celebration.
April is also an important month for the Sikh community as it includes Vaisakhi, which marks the creation of the Khalsa and the Sikh articles of faith.
They're certainly comfortable watching some parts of the country and workers in key industries suffer, as long as it is not in their region or province. When leaders seek to unite, petty politicians look to stoke division.
Their language at this time is tone-deaf, self-serving and divisive. Makes you wonder: Deep down are they ok with Canada becoming the 51st state?
