Good. Now it’s gonna be undeniable that AIPAC is working against the American democracy. Both by not conceding to the will of Michiganders and by spending against the only party that isn’t actively trying to dismantle the democratic system. That’s gonna make it even more effrctive for the DSA to use AIPAC against opponents.
Def could be that. We’ll know better after Trump is gone.
Why would she do this? Currying favour with the USA?
Counterpoint:
Carney effectively enacting a conservative agenda would get lefties to uncompromisingly vote NDP and probably shift a part of the centre-left in the same direction. An effect similar to what’s happening to the UK Labour vote going to the UK Greens.
I don’t think so. This is all happening because of whatever leverage Israel has on your leadership. Israel refuses to comply with withdrawing form Lebanon.
Are the reports abt refinery hits fake?
I don’t know about that. At some point the machine gotta turn towards inside. Maybe not yet.
Sad trombone noises
Apparently he lost by 19 votes.
Looking at the list of potential candidates, there are some potentially salient faces and a lot of candidates that I think would lead to similar results like the last several elections against Ford:
I hope Marit Stiles plans to ramp up the populist rhetoric in order to fill the vacuum :D
"This is a guy who was convicted of precisely the thing that we want him to be convicted of in this context, and yet the minute he’s released from house arrest, he’s off in China,” he said.
Perhaps imprison him for a few decades of slave labour at the Hyundai plant in Alabama. That ought to do it.
I’m not saying immigration fixes unemployment. I’m saying that over the long run, it doesn’t make it worse. When I say this and throughout my comment I mean immigration where newcomers have the same labour rights as the existing populatiom. I’m talking about PR immigration.
TFW immigration is a whole other matter which is obvious vehicle for cheap labour, which cannot create jobs, which increases PR/citizen unemployment, especially among youth because youth often works retail and that’s a major use of TFWs. That’s before we even consider the abuse TFWs get from their employers. I think the TFW program did most of the damage you speak of, along with the diploma mill foreign student program, which essentially functions as another TFW program. Temporary immigration for work should be shutdown yesterday. Any immigration for work must come with the same labour rights and that must include at least delayed PR. That guarantees fuckers can’t pay them less.
True but general increase of the population also creates jobs as some portion create new businesses. It’s why unemployment hasn’t exploded over the decades of population growth via immigration. Not saying immigration can’t lead to higher unemployment under specific conditions. We’ve hit other real resource constraints that the system we have hasn’t provided enough of like housing, healthcare, etc. I think we need our gov’t to step in to fill the gaps. We also need the gov’t to start employing people the private sector won’t take and do the things it the private sector won’t do. Like filling those gaps.
We are calling very clearly for a single-tier immigration system, based on permanent residency and status on arrival, that gives rights and stability—like our grandparents received when they first came to this country. We need an immigration system that reunites families, welcomes refugees fleeing wars around the world, and does not create two classes of workers.
We will reverse Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cuts to immigration levels. Through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, we will hire 3,000 immigrant caseworkers immediately to address the backlog of 1 million immigrant applications that are stuck and going nowhere.
We will end provincial rules that restrict and tie foreign workers to specific employers. We will end limits based on sector, hours, occupation, or category—restrictions that make workers vulnerable. We believe we should create a network of reception centres for refugees across the country, with real funding for shelters and housing. We also need to fix credentialling problems. Many people come to Canada because of their skills, but credentialling issues prevent them from using the skills they brought with them.
Yup, this is how you fix it without suppressing wages. Couple that with strengthened labour rights which he also wants to do - especially easier unionization and we’re looking for wage growth in addition to expanding economy that comes with growing population.
I’d think staying silent would achieve this goal.
Oh yeah, I see that in the graph now.
Government spending on R&D in China increased by 90% to US$133 billion in the decade leading up to 2023, according to the most recent purchasing-power-adjusted data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). By contrast, in the United States, spending rose by just 12%, to $155 billion.
I think they’re not taking into account PPP. China is very likely spending more on science in PPP terms which is what really matters.
Nah, sell at high price without giving up production control to US interests. Use the money to strenghten defence and improve Venezuelans material conditions. Make it exceedingly difficult for the US to repeat kidnappings.
Agreed. What’s happening in the NDP now is prep for a few years from now. It’s also why I find focus and critique of the electability of the new leader today is misguided.
Combine that with the sharp pain this is about to bring:
Perhaps the contradictions between Israel’s interest and Trump’s voter base’s would finally reach a breaking point and the US would slap Israel and ragequit the war?
This confirms Mossad was unable to do it, doesn’t it. That means the Iranians aren’t as compromised by Mossad as it appeared during the 12-day war. At least not anymore.
