The problems of Canada Post are a problem of the capitalist system. Unless we develop a socialist solution and seize the private delivery companies, Canada Post must compete with them.

How long can politicians avoid real talk about how globalization has failed the middle class?

Coca-Cola killed trade unionists in Latin America. General Motors built vehicles known to catch fire. Tobacco companies suppressed cancer research. And Boeing knew that its planes were dangerous. Corporations don't care if they kill people — as long as it's profitable.

As state power is reluctantly and belatedly deployed against the far-right’s laughably named Freedom Convoy, it’s time for the political left in Canada to ask itself some very serious questions. How could a gaggle of white supremacists manage to capture the political momentum and undertake “the biggest protest organized by the Canadian far-right since the 1930s”?

In a recent piece for The Breach, writer and organizer Emma Jackson calls for an “expansive left populism” to defeat the far-right. While she identifies many of the fronts on which the left must fight, it remains unclear how populism as such should serve as a working program for broad left demands, given its susceptibility to the politics of reaction.

Similar "freedom convoys" have appeared in other parts of the world that have imposed strict covid restrictions.

The left should seek to employ the disruptive power on display in protests in Canada — but only on its own anti-racist, antifascist terms.

In a first-past-the-post system like Canada’s, it’s not unusual for the major parties to consolidate support in the run-up to an election. But in the bigger picture, the NDP—and the Canadian left more generally—seems to be at a loss for purpose in a political landscape that is suddenly oriented around threats from our southern neighbour.

On May 17, 2025, during the 77th commemoration of the Nakba, Israel launched its most ferocious escalation in Gaza since the collapse of the ceasefire deal in March. Israel called up sixty thousand reservists over the following days. Warplanes screamed overhead. Missiles rained down on neighbourhoods already reduced to rubble. The objective was unmistakable: force
