The federal election result was a disaster for the NDP, but it was also a catastrophe for the entire labour movement. There is something terribly wrong with the messaging that unions are delivering to their membership. Surely, on this day, the alarm bells must be going off in the Canadian Labour (…)

The election night in the Terrebonne by-election, won handily by the Parti Québecois (PQ), was difficult for Québec Solidaire as well as for the Liberals and Conservatives. It was quite a plunge for Québec Solidaire, with vote share down by two-thirds.

As noted in my last article[1], Canada and Quebec’s commercial entanglement in the US economy is profound following thirty years of “free trade”, with neoliberal capitalism as its legacy.

The fractured and contradictory reaction by Canadian political and economic elites to Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canadian imports and to make Canada the United States’ 51st state has revealed the weakness of the country’s fabric. The tenuous ties that once bound (…)

In 1969, a caucus of NDP members known as the Waffle organized to promote a socialist and nationalist agenda, which included the replacement of US private ownership of Canadian industry with Canadian public ownership. Many of the core ideas that the Waffle stood for were first developed and (…)

Almost 40 years ago, the Left was warning about the consequences of tying Canada economically to the US. The election of Donald Trump is showing just how accurate those warnings were.
It’s a delicious if painful irony that it was the Left that warned about the dangers of economic integration (…)
