Hello everyone. This is a small update that I have taken over modding this community (see [1][2]). I have updated the banner of the community, using Avi Lewis' banner from Youtube, and I've changed the community icon to the bilingual NDP logo.

I'm going to sticky this up for a while. Comments, suggestions, and volunteering offers are welcome.

I am repeatedly impressed when hearing Avi Lewis speak and that has made me hopeful and interested in supporting the NDP for the first time. My impression is that he’s saying the things that many have hoped for a leader to say for quite awhile.

This link gives people a quick option to convert that hope into support.

The Liberals have used their newly acquired majority to push through major changes to Canada’s laws at the last minute and shut down debate on legislation with major implications for the lives of Canadians.

This is not normal. This is what happens when a government thinks it can act with impunity.

This article isn't about Canada but I think its message is very relevant to Canada's current political situation. If anything, I think the UK is more directly comparable to our situation than that of the US.

The federal government has finally acknowledged the practice of surveillance pricing, months after the NDP raised the alarm and sparked a national conversation about it.

But the bill doesn’t ban this disturbing practice - in fact, it doesn’t even mention it by name. Instead, it just promises vague regulatory action in the future.

In contrast, Wab Kinew’s NDP government in Manitoba is simply making the practice illegal. That’s the only way to stop big tech and big grocery chains from teaming up to gouge consumers.

We’ve put this issue on the table, and we’ll keep building public pressure on the government to act decisively: today’s bill does nothing definitive to protect Canadians from this very real threat.

Le gouvernement fĂ©dĂ©ral a enfin reconnu l’existence de la pratique de la tarification de surveillance, plusieurs mois aprĂšs que le NPD ait tirĂ© la sonnette d’alarme et suscitĂ© un dĂ©bat national Ă  ce sujet.

Mais le projet de loi n’interdit pas cette pratique inquiĂ©tante ; en fait, il ne la mentionne mĂȘme pas nommĂ©ment. Il se contente plutĂŽt de promettre de vagues mesures rĂ©glementaires Ă  l’avenir.

En revanche, le gouvernement nĂ©o-dĂ©mocrate de Wab Kinew au Manitoba rend tout simplement cette pratique illĂ©gale. C’est la seule façon d’empĂȘcher les gĂ©ants de la technologie et les grandes chaĂźnes d’épiceries de s’associer pour escroquer les consommateurs et consommatrices.

Nous avons mis cette question sur la table, et nous continuerons Ă  faire pression sur le gouvernement pour qu’il agisse de maniĂšre dĂ©cisive : le projet de loi d’aujourd’hui ne fait rien de concret pour protĂ©ger les Canadiens et Canadiennes contre cette menace bien rĂ©elle.
