Van Jones: “If progressives have a politics that says all White people are racist, all men are toxic, and all billionaires are evil, it’s kinda hard to keep them on your side. If you’re chasing people out of the party, you can’t be mad when they leave.”

This is one of my favorite videos of all time.

Edmonton man Esteban Pavez, 35, pleaded guilty to making 100+ threats against the Jewish community on X and was sentenced to 3 months in jail. He was released with credit for pre-trial custody and faces 2 years probation and a 5-year weapons ban.

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

Today, the federal New Democratic Party selected its new leader. It is clear that the direction of the federal party under this new leader, someone who openly cheered for the defeat of the Alberta NDP government, is not in the interests of Alberta. Last year, Alberta’s New Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make membership in the federal party optional. Many thousands of our provincial members, including myself, are not members of the federal party. We are a big tent and welcome the support of people who vote for every federal party. We believe in Alberta and we believe in Canadian energy and the good jobs it creates. We believe in more pipelines and in reducing emissions. We believe in strong public services and a strong jobs-driven economy to help pay for them. This is what we are fighting for every day. Albertans deserve federal leaders who understand the importance of Alberta and our essential role in the federation. Our focus is not on what the federal NDP says or does. Our fight is with Danielle Smith and the separatist UCP. Albertans deserve a better government, and we are here to be that better government.

No Canadian flag. But a flag of a non existent state that is the raison d’être of banned terror groups like Hamas. But they regard Canada as an “illegitimate settler state” characterized by white supremacy and genocide. Tommy Douglas must be rolling over in his grave.

HAHAHAHAHA. This is not AI or a skit. This is the NDP conference in Canada.

The Canadian left is such a dumpster fire -- at the NDP leadership convention a Palestinian activist misgendered a non-binary candidate and an audience of people wearing COVID masks clap at all the drama. They are unelectable.
