Parliamentarians unite to block NDP wealth tax on the very wealthy! A tax supported by more than three-quarters of Canadians! Will we all remember to vote NDP next Federal election?

Dates and times for the Annual Peace Festival celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the UN will be posted soon.

The difference between diversity, equity, inclusion and justice can sometimes go unnoticed, unheard or misunderstood.... this is good

Stephen did quite well in the last election, too bad we had a green running splitting the votes, country did not want and still does not want a conservative return but here we got Findlay. Performance rating please? Liberals are no longer worthy of your vote, let’s work hard and finally give @ndp a turn in the next round. South Surrey - White Rock Federal NDP

White privilege does not mean your child will not experience difficulties. It simply means they will not experience difficulties as a direct result of their rac...e. I've had a lot of questions from white parents who ask "won't pointing out examples of systemic racism teach my child to look for those things? Teach them to see the world as divided?" Black parents don't ask these questions, because they have the lived experience of being Black in mostly white spaces. Getting to learn about racism instead of directly experiencing it is a privilege. We need to tell white children about racial privilege because they cannot know what it's like to move through the world in black or brown skin. Children who understand their privilege and how they benefit from it will be more conscious of the struggles of people without that privilege. They will grow up knowing that their experience is different from the experiences of many. They will learn there are some things they will never understand because they have never lived life in black or brown skin. They will be more likely to listen to and believe people who don’t look like them. Teaching them about privilege will not teach them they have more value than underprivileged people--it will teach them that society *believes* they have more value, and that they can use their voice to change that. By learning that others are more likely to listen to them because they are White, they can stop people when they talk over people of color. When they learn that people treat others differently because of their race, they can speak up for kids being bullied because of the color of their skin. They will learn that their experience is often seen as the standard, or the only, which allows them to hold space for other voices. They will learn that just because they have not experienced something personally doesn’t mean that it isn’t real. They will grow up seeing the oppression and marginalization of people as not a political issue, but a human one. Follow @curious.parenting for more on raising liberated, compassionate kids. See more

Memories of a special Canadian.

From "Journey To The Future: A Better World Is Possible" by Guy Dauncey: Fundamentally, Derek said, a society has five basic needs: The individual need to look after yourself and make something of your life; The human need to care for each other and to be cared for in a spirit of community; ...Continue reading

Perhaps BQ MP needs to apologize for his disrespect in looking at Jag and using his hands to dismiss him. We don’t know if he was attacking Jagmeet or the issue, but either way disrespectful. Other MPs have used the word before and guess what, nobody got booted, except for the first ever leader of colour. Common Canada,

It’s not enough for the PM to take a knee. He needs to take a stand against anti-Black racism. He has the power to actually change things for the better.... The federal government has the ability to make concrete changes to end racial profiling by the RCMP. It’s time the PM does it.

If only we had taken government these deaths may have been prevented.

Way to go, thank you for your persistence to our leader!

This is the "normal" that Jagmeet rightly says we should not return to, and to dismiss the need to close tax loopholes by saying that it will hurt workers reveals an arrogance and a lack of understanding of the real economy on Trudeau's part. As long as there are workers doing the work, we will have wealth. As long as we allow companies and the moneyed to avoid paying their share, workers will be hurt not helped. Real wealth (goods and services) will suffer as well. By Stephen Crozier
