  • OP-ED: Why I’m running to lead the NDP

    Jump

  • You have it completely backward. The scenario you describe (small unaccountable groups controlling who can lead) is exactly what this candidate objects to. Yves Engler was prevented from running for NDP leader ("quashed") by a 3-person, unelected group of party officials. I find those people's motivations much more questionable.

  • What kind of "interests" do you imagine she is a "puppet" for, and what led you to that conclusion?

  • At Least Five Killed by Large-Scale US Airstrikes Targeting ISIS in Syria

  • The bombing is described as having "involved firing more than 100 munitions at over 70 targets," which is a significant amount even if it killed no one.

  • Whenever royals visit Canada, the government pays millions in security costs, travel, lodging, etc.

  • Vijay Prashad:

    Such texts are boring not because of their content but because of how they are written. The style of these texts is almost intended to prevent the reader from getting anything out of them. It’s believed that just by publishing these manuals and reports they meet a certain standard of democracy. But what this kind of writing does is to turn people away from reading. Such writing is, therefore, antidemocratic.

  • The Carter Center (cited by that BBC piece) is funded by various western governments including the US, as well as CIA-affiliated regime-change orgs like the National Endowment for Democracy. They are not a neutral party.

    The "pro-Kremlin" smear is similarly questionable as it is promoted by the same groups.

  • Covid-19 social distancing was not based on scientific data, Fauci admits

    Jump

  • This article is literally quoting the official press release of the committee's chairman:

    https://oversight.house.gov/release/wenstrup-releases-statement-following-dr-faucis-two-day-testimony/

    Dr. Fauci claimed that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any data. He characterized the development of the guidance by stating “it sort of just appeared.”

    Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.

    Dr. Fauci admitted that America’s vaccine mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in the future.
