Parts of Canada tried similar but speculation and real estate lobby groups killed most of them. I live in BC and the former provincial liberals 15 years ago killed cooperative public housing by defunding property subsidies and tax breaks. Now where there were several hundred there are a dozen or so.

If not for Chicago, we might not have Labor Day. Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for a much longer video where I dive into the history of unionization, violent strike suppression, and workers’ victories in Chicago, and how they impacted workers across the country.

My aunt, the doctor, told me a new joke. She asked: What did those who saw this coming pray for? I said I did not know. And so she answered: Those who saw this coming prayed that they’d be wrong. And then neither of us laughed.

High capacity mags should be illegal. When they were there was less shootings. Required education element is also missing. Would take a revisit at SCOTUS with a better panel to overrule the ignoring of “well regulated militia” in 2A. I’m Canadian, most of our shootings are from US smuggled guns.

3D printed parts and plans can be made illegal or made to carry the same regulation as a proper gun manufacturer. Semi auto is common enough in a lot of weapons but the AR15 is special and essentially a semi auto copy of M16. Federal regulation with strict rules on use would help.

A note for American media that report on mass shootings. Rather than interview traumatized children perhaps gang up on politicians and police that continue to allow them to happen. Might be more effective ne c’est pas?

Mandatory vaccines. It really should be mandatory. The only province in Canada to end mandatory vaccines in schools is Alberta and it’s the leader in infections. We usually compare that province to Alabama or Florida as it’s as dumb. US largest export to Canada is right wing extremism.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Canadians elected you to be an answer against conservatives. Please reinstate DST, target specific US imports again and dump F35 in exchange for gripen. We spent a lot on F35 so should request or use courts to regain money but at the end of the day it is not a good plane.

Meanwhile conservative pundits from Alberta go an CBC and claim China uses more oil so Canada should too. Tell them about China being a leader at dropping dependence on fossil fuel and they get all bent out of shape. Canada per capita pollutes way more than China and we can’t convince alberduh of it

Chinese tariffs are more about protectionism than security. Sure they spy on trade partners but realistically so do we. The fun part of US blanket tariffs on most of the world is it allows Chinese manufacturers more market share and their products are as good and sometimes better.

Bullshit. Hemp is way easier to cultivate and takes very little to water. Jute is ok for clothing, cloth and bags where hemp is better at ropes and industrial settings. There is a reason hemp was the nautical rope for millennia. hemptique.com/pages/hemp-v...

The tired old Reagan/Laffer argument. The rich will stay as they can’t make as much elsewhere without paying a price that costs way more. They paid massive income and manufacturing taxes in 50s/60s with a booming economy.
