What Trudeau, Singh’s Praise For Fidel Castro Says About Canada’s Future

In recent weeks, media rumours have been swirling in regard to a potential partnership between the incumbent Liberal Party, and the federal NDP Party.

While media has played their part in advancing the theory, NDP party leader Jagmeet Singh has poured cold water on the concept:

“There is no discussion at all of a coalition and that is a firm no for me. There’s not going to be any coalition at all,” Singh said when speaking to reporters. He blamed the so-called rumours on Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole.

The AHS’ Mismanagement of ICU Beds appears linked to the NDP’s War against Jason Kenney

I am no fan of Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, or the UCP for that matter, and I think his new regime of draconian restrictions and passport system is absolutely abysmal, but at the same time, it would be dishonest to hold Kenney solely responsible for the current situation. There are clearly forces inside and outside of the government pressuring Kenney and the UCP into blowing up the COVID-19 situation into something worse than it really is.

Jagmeet Singh Promises Communism Will Really Work This Time

NDP unveils campaign platform ahead of potential election call

OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is promising to tax the “super rich,” improve accessibility for mental health care, create one million “good jobs” and set up a Crown corporation for vaccine production, if his party was to form government.

Bright and early Thursday morning, the NDP released “commitments to Canadians” and a plan for a “fair” pandemic recovery that essentially amounts to the campaign platform that Singh and his candidates will be running on should a federal election be called in the near future.

Meet Jagmeet Singh, A Rising Star In Canadian Politics

Jagmeet Singh is a Sikh Canadian politician who has been steadily gaining in popularity; he is also, alas, distinctly unsympathetic to Israel. A report on Singh, with his pro-Palestinian views, and his dislike of the Jewish state, is here: “Rising star or dark force? Jagmeet Singh plans to leave his mark on Canada-Israel relations,” by Ami Friedman, Israel Hayom, July 30, 2021…

It used to be that Canada’s mainstream political parties, at least at the top level, expressed support for Israel even if as among the NDP and LPC that support was only an inch deep and in no way representative of the views held by many of the rank and file.

Now “anti-zionist” gaslighting is mainstream and that Green Party kerfuffle a sign of things to come on larger political stages.

After Sixty Years, Canada’s New Democratic Party Must Embrace Class Struggle

NDP provincial governments have some achievements to their credit, but the party’s recent history has been a travesty of what its founders hoped for. Without a bold change of direction toward socialist politics, its future will consist of inexorable decline.
