    Elbows…up? A 2025 rewind

    2025 started with Justin Trudeau in power and ended with a more mask-off variant of Liberalism. In between there were Trump’s tariff wars, genocide, and some small hard-won victories for the left. El Jones joins Desmond Cole and Martin Lukacs to take a look in the rearview mirror and reflect on one year in Canadian politics and social movements.

    Mark Carney’s pact with Danielle Smith is climate carnage

    Mark Carney’s deal with Alberta’s Danielle Smith is the climate sell-out of the century. Author and analyst Seth Klein joins Desmond Cole to break down everything it contains—from pipelines, to AI data centres, to dirty electricity, to a rollback of almost every Trudeau-era climate policy.

    Sudan suffers, Canada cashes in

    For two years, a Sudanese paramilitary force has been massacring civilians—with Canadian-made weapons. Professor Nisrin Elamin and activist Ismail Adam join Desmond Cole to discuss Canada’s long-term complicity in destabilizing Sudan, and recent efforts to close the loophole that allows for Canadian weapons to be brought into Sudan via the UAE.  Read their article co-authored with Robyn Maynard: https://breachmedia.ca/in-the-genocide-in-sudan-canada-has-a-hand-in-the-violence/

    A budget for tanks, banks, and oil barons

    Despite promising a “generational” and “transformational” budget, Prime Minister Mark Carney is doubling down on resource extraction, militarism, and corporate handouts—appeasing Donald Trump and Canada’s corporate class, but doing little for working people. Martin Lukacs and Desmond Cole break down the Liberal government’s Stephen Harper-esque spending cuts to the public service and their failure to address the crises of affordability and climate breakdown.
