Every democracy is a wrestling match between the powerful few and the many to determine whom and what government is for. The powerful few have clearly been winning and with disastrous consequences. It’s time for a rebalancing of private and public power, reining in corporate power, breaking up monopolies, deconcentrating wealth, increasing workers power, finding pathways to employee ownership, and reimagining and rebuilding our collective toolkit, from industrial strategy to the care economy. We need to rediscover the common good, make human well-being and the health of our environment the measure of our economy, social trust and solidarity the measure of our society, and equality and the protection of our rights and freedoms the measure of our democracy.

Here’s the official link for The Pledge For Canada launched Friday. Excerpt- “We will meet the challenge as previous generations have done, not by bending to threats but by joining together in common purpose, across partisan, regional, and cultural differences, to look out for one another, to protect our shared interests and assets, and to safeguard our democracy.
Canadians will decide Canada’s future and place in the world”. 🇨🇦

Pledge for Canada – Jan. 31, 2025
At a news conference on Parliament Hill, NDP MP Charlie Angus calls on Canadians to sign his “pledge for Canada” to defend what he calls Canadian values. The event comes as U.S. President Donald Trump’s Feb. 1 tariff deadline approaches.

Angus is joined by John Cartwright, chair of the Council of Canadians, Esi Edugyan, a novelist, and Jean Teillet, an Indigenous rights lawyer. #cdnpoli
