Being a socialist, I believe that I think like a socialist. Today I am listening to Newstalk 1010 right-wing radio and listening to arch conservative Vessi Kapasi. She is opposed to universal daycare thinking it should only go to those that would not otherwise be able to work. She feels that those who choose to …

The Politics of Booze
The LCBO strike has got the ear of the public and so it should. Not because it involves liquor but because it involves human rights. This is the first strike in the LCBO history and it is a political strike as much as it is a strike over working condition and wages. Not to say …
Toronto St. Paul Bi-election
Toronto St. Paul Bi-election It is hard to not be aware of the bi-election results in Toronto’s St. Paul riding and the political fallout arising from them. Some are using the results as a form of barometer looking ahead to it being an indication of a Conservative sweep of the country. This may be a …
Chinese Socialism
Chinese Socialism It is not to my understanding why Canadian socialists and other so called Western progressives cannot accept the huge successes of Communist China as being worthy of recognition and applause as a success of socialism.

Israeli Palestine War Solution
The Solution for Palestine The way I see it, the only way to bring about a ceasefire and end the genocide Israel is impacting on the Palestinians is for the BRICS nations to call for a universal boycott of everything Israel. Israels good economy is built on trade and commerce. China is their major trading …
Honouring a Nazi
Honouring a Nazi The appearance of Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian volunteer member of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division that fought Russia in WW2 is likely the most farcical display of stupidity in our House of Commons history. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge of the history of Ukraine in WW2 knows that the Ukrainians that fought …
Israeli Genocide
Israeli Genocide To date as a result of the Israeli war on Gaza there have been over 28000 Palestinians, 12000 of which were children, killed by the Israeli Defense Forces. There have been over 64000 Palestinians casualties this includes children with arms and legs amputated. It includes broken bodies of Palestinians pulled from the …
A National Housing Plan
A National Housing Mission The Right to Shelter for All is included in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is shameful that Canada has one of the worst affordable housing crisis in the developed world which sees increasing numbers of Canadians living in the streets. It is patently apparent that the for-profit …
