Supermarkets like Loblaw complain they are being unfairly singled out for responsibility for food inflation.

These arguments have not washed well with the shopping public, every time they shell out $200 for a cart of groceries.

Canada must respect the Haitian people in their struggle for justice and self-determination.

The plan to reshape Europe and the global balance of power by degrading Russia is turning out to resemble the failed plan to reshape the Middle East. It is fueling a global food crisis and devastating Europe with near double-digit inflation. It is exposing the impotency, once again, of the United States, and the bankruptcy of its ruling oligarchs.

At a time when institutions are attempting to repair the harms they caused to Black communities and organizations involved in the 1969 Sir George occupation, when will the Canadian state acknowledge its role in manufacturing anti-Black violence during the occupation, and the continuum of harm and racial terror committed by the RCMP Security Service that followed?
