And with a thud felt on every doorstep, the Austerity Times of Mark Carney's Liberal government lands.

Massive layoffs on the way in the public service, likely starting at Canada Post.

Everyone remembers what came after the government of the last austerity-Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin*, right? RIGHT?

Hall of Shame — Track AIPAC

Track AIPAC

You can’t cry persecution if you can prosthelytize for your religion in a corporate document for a secular company on the Meet the Team page.

Non- Christians can’t do that. Fortunately, I think most non-christians WON’T do that out of respect for others beliefs.

@SueInRockville Interesting and highly illustrative to see mention each of these dogshit, #pandering #sheepdogs that approved of #genocide but conspicuously no mention of an actual leftist like #rashidatlaib.

I see you.

#warren #aoc and ESPECIALLY the CIA-affiliated #pritzker are instant red flags for me.
Verdict:
You’re astroturfing support exclusively for fake leftists, trying to co-opt leftism using #stagemanaged #grandstanding #corporatist #posers feigning #resistance.

You, too, can read everything about the pandering assholes at The Washington Post.

Harris does not believe Israel committing genocide, campaign says

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s campaign clarified on Sunday that the vice president does not believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, after a video was published online showing an anti-Israel heckler interrupting Harris at a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee event on Oct. 17.

After saying “what about the genocide” and yelling “19,000 children are dead, and you won’t call it a genocide,” the keffiyeh-clad man was removed.

“Listen, what he’s talking about, it’s real,” Harris said. “That’s not the subject that I came to discuss today, but it’s real and I respect his voice.”

US calls out Israel at UN for ‘catastrophic conditions’ in Gaza

Israel needs to address urgently “catastrophic conditions” among Palestinian civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip and stop “intensifying suffering” by limiting aid deliveries, its ally the United States told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.

Referring to reports of squalid conditions in south and central Gaza, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield said: “These catastrophic conditions were predicted months ago, and yet, have still not been addressed. That must change, and now.”

“We call on Israel to take urgent steps to do so,” she said in a blunt statement.
