About this blog:

What if they held a class war and nobody noticed? For decades, liberals and progressives have been bashed for conducting a "class war" every time they suggest that it would be appropriate for the extremely wealthy to shoulder a bit more of the burden of paying for government. Meanwhile, a swarm of far-right think-tanks and political action committees have been working tirelessly to promote the idea that taxes on the wealthy should be lowered further from their historic lows, and that entitlement programs such as social security and medicare are too expensive to sustain (and in any case, immoral). The latest attempts to delegitimize public employee unions are the logical next step in what genuinely appears to be the systematic dismantlement of the middle class. This blog will highlight some of the more extreme examples of this activity that may not always show up in your news feeds.

Get Ready for Trouble

So, today Canada gave a dead-eyed sociopath the parliamentary majority he has been itching for.  I'm pretty depressed that things went down this way, even though it was accompanied by a historically strong showing from the NDP.  But what really concerns me is that that this power-mad control freak is going to interpret this election as a green light to embark on a whole host of "renovations" to Canada, with inevitable lasting damage.
