well obviously they would but I’m not a fan of the NDP either. I don’t even like the Liberals. christ it’s so god damn infuriating that when I vote I have to vote for the party I hate the least. it’s like waking up and someone asking me every day “ok do you want to be kicked in the balls, punched in the throat, or have some ribs broken with a baseball bat?” “I guess I"ll take the throat punch today”
I don’t know that. What I do know is we, as a country, are headed in the wrong direction and we have no decent choice out there to make things better overall.
The rulings against exclusion zones need to start including fines, remedial training for all staff from administrators to front-line enforcers, and easy access to fast-tracked injunctions.
Canada has a stellar track record when it comes to preserving indigenous communities. I’m sure they would extend that to other indigenous communities across the world.
We’re at least having the argument. America and the EU are just shipping the weapons, business as usual. It’s perhaps more useful to support efforts to clean up our arms export system rather than imply it doesn’t matter because “historical human rights offences”. Every nation has darkness (more or less) but export reform feels like progress.
I think the part that hurts is that nobody Israeli government has any idea what to do with Palestine and its people after the shooting stops, other than the far right nut jobs calling for expansion of Israeli settlements and de facto ethnic cleansing of the land.
Without a viable strategic end goal other than the destruction of Hamas as a military force and political entity, and a refusal to recognize a Palestinian state, what other conclusion can bystanders reach aside from seeing this war as an effort to destroy or displace the Palestinian people?
The problem with these laws (and many others to be fair) is that “right to work” sounds great at face value. If you don’t look past the name/description of the law, why would you be against people’s right to work?
If, however, they named these laws what they are, “lose you collective bargaining rights laws”, I’m pretty sure lots more people would be against them.
It’s the same thing as “pro life” legislation. Who would be against life, right? But call it what it is, “forced birth”, and suddenly it sounds a lot less appealing.
