AI Advocates Using Same Playbook As Free Traders Before Them

April 25, 2026 Danny Parys, Rabble.ca. Strategize! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Canada, Finance and the Economy, Free Trade

From the late 80’s to the early 2000’s, Canadian politicians and business leaders sung sweetly about the promises of free trade and globalization. Indeed, in 2005, just three years before the 2008 global recession, a consortium of business leaders proudly declared “as an economy, Canada seems to be in great shape,” and that globalization in the 80’s and 90’s had “unleashed a wave of innovation and creativity” within the private sector. Though after two decades of free trade evangelization from thought leaders, many of the arguments in favour of globalization were being repeated by rote: New markets to sell to. More foreign investment. Cheaper goods for consumers.

This Man Offers A New Way To Recycle Old Homes

Erick Serpas Ventura knows the bones of a good home. In El Salvador, where he was born, Serpas Ventura was raised in a small house until the age of five. When a civil war broke out, he and his family emigrated to Vancouver. They settled in a 1920s heritage home held together by ancient trees and handmade bricks, a structure similar to the one featured in the video above. Having lived in a smaller, simpler abode in El Salvador, Serpas Ventura gained appreciation for the people who built their Vancouver home. He says it felt like “a massive mansion” compared with what they’d known back home.

Cross-Border Days Of Solidarity Against Rigged Trade Agenda

April 3, 2026 Days of Solidarity. Resist!, Slider Canada, International Days Of Action, International Solidarity, Mexico, Trade, USMCA

On July 1, trade officials from the U.S., Mexico and Canada will be meeting to consider changes to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) — also known as NAFTA 2.0 — the largest and most consequential trade policy of either Trump’s terms in office. The Trump administration and others are pushing a rigged trade agenda that puts the interests of billionaires and corporations ahead of working people, family farmers and the environment in North America and beyond. In response, people are coming together across borders and across issue areas to say “Enough!”

Why Canada Needs A Universal Parental Income Support Plan

Finally, a major economic actor in Canada has recognized the important contributions of self-employed Canadians. The Business Development Bank (BDC)’s report, The Entrepreneurial Spark of Canada’s Self-Employed, confirmed what many advocates have long argued: self-employed Canadians have distinct needs and make significant contributions to our economy. But the report also revealed something else — a narrow and troubling definition of economic value. BDC places particular emphasis on what it calls “agile and ambitious self-employed” individuals, those who plan to hire employees and transition into employer firms.

Indigenous Leaders Sue Quebec To Halt Forestry Permits

February 23, 2026 John Ahni Schertow, Intercontinental Cry. Resist! Canada, Indigenous Rights, Land Rights, Logging, Quebec, Sovereignty

After years of protests and blockades, a group of Atikamekw elders and chiefs have filed a lawsuit seeking to cancel forestry permits across a vast stretch of northern Quebec. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Quebec’s Superior Court, challenges the province’s authority to issue forestry permits within Nehirowisiw Aski, the ancestral territory of the Atikamekw, without properly consulting them. Lawyers for the group describe the case as unprecedented, saying it is the first time that land defenders — a traditional role not formally recognized in Canadian law — have directly asserted Aboriginal title through the courts.

‘International Unions’ And Trump’s Aggression Against Canada

February 20, 2026 Chris Townsend, Portside. Strategize! Canada, Donald Trump, History, Unions, US Imperialism, Worker Rights and Jobs

Trade unionists sometimes daydream about cross border solidarity among unions. Once in a while, we can practice it. Corporations routinely operate in different countries, and the governments they control likewise promote their agendas across borders. It is one of the greatest aspirational goals of working people – the ability to confront bosses regardless of national borders. Marxist forces would understand this cross-border goal reflexively, harkening back to Marx and Engels and their admonition that “Workers of All Countries, Unite!”

Canadian PM Unveils ‘Unprecedented’ Defense Plan

The Canadian government has announced a major new defense plan aimed at reducing reliance on Washington, which the country’s premier said was “no longer viable.” "We've relied too heavily on our geography and others to protect us,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on 17 February. “This has created vulnerabilities that we can no longer afford and dependencies that we can no longer sustain,” he went on to say. A statement from the prime minister’s office said the new defense industrial strategy amounts to an investment of “over half a trillion dollars (US $366 billion) in Canadian security, economic prosperity, and our sovereignty.”

Michigan Sues Fossil Fuel Companies While Alberta Protects Them

Has the fossil fuel industry been engaged in a decades-long illicit conspiracy to kneecap the accelerating transition to clean energy? The government of Michigan thinks so. State Attorney General Dana Nessel recently filed a 126-page lawsuit against the American Petroleum Institute and four of the biggest oil companies, Exxon, BP, Chevron and Shell, alleging they acted as an anti-competitive cartel to limit consumer choice and protect their polluting industry from cheaper and cleaner alternatives. According to Nessel, higher energy costs imposed on residents and businesses in her state “are not the result of natural economic inflation, but due to the greed of these corporations who prioritized their own profit and marketplace dominance over competition and consumer savings.”

Why I Am Scared To Travel To The US Right Now

February 15, 2026 Karl Nerenberg, Rabble.ca. Educate! Blacklisted, Canada, Customs and Border Patrol, Detention

A lot of Canadians are boycotting travel to the U.S. these days. For most, those boycotts make a political statement. Canadian boycotters do not want to, in any way, support a country ruled by a toxic would-be dictator. They want nothing to do with an out-of-control President, who calls whole races of people garbage (in a manner that does not echo or rhyme with Nazi hate propaganda, but quite faithfully reproduces it), and who sits up at night spewing malevolent lies about Canada. Those are pretty legitimate political reasons to shun any country – as a gesture of protest and resistance.

Integration Or Independence?

Over the past year, much has been made in Canada of the various taunts and threats that have accompanied the Trump administration’s decision to impose tariffs as part of what it has described as an effort to reduce trade deficits, bolster national security, and strengthen domestic manufacturing. Many Canadians have expressed shock and dismay at being “betrayed” by a country they were given to viewing as a livelier, albeit more garish and confrontational, version of their own—a country that is blessed with more jobs, warmer weather, and cheaper goods, but burdened by more guns, greater insecurity, and less predictable institutions.

First Nations Oppose Proposed Changes To Indigenous Rights Law

February 12, 2026 John Ahni Schertow, Intercontinental Cry. Resist! British Columbia, Canada, Declaration on Indigenous Rights, Indigenous Rights

More than 100 First Nations leaders and Indigenous organizations from across British Columbia have united in vocal opposition to proposed changes to the provincial Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), calling on Premier David Eby to uphold the law as it was originally co-developed with Indigenous communities in 2019. In a joint statement, the alliance warned that the government’s proposed amendments could erode hard-won progress on reconciliation and lead to increased conflict and litigation. The statement urges B.C.’s political leaders to uphold the original intent of the act and maintain the shared framework of cooperation between First Nations and the government.

ICE Tactics Prompt Concern Over Canadian Complicity

January 31, 2026 Bridget Potasky, Rabble.ca. Educate! Accountability, Canada, Corporations, Human Rights, ICE

So far in 2026, Minneapolis has recorded three homicides. Two of those deaths were at the hands of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. As part of President Donald Trump’s broader crackdown on purportedly illegal immigration, at the end of 2025 the Trump administration launched Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. This operation resulted in 2,000 federal agents from both ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) being deployed in what the government described as the “largest immigration operation ever.”

Trump Administration Encourages Alberta Separatism

January 30, 2026 C. J. Atkins, People's World. Educate! Alberta, Canada, Oil, Separatists, Trump Administration, Unions

Union leaders in Alberta and across Canada are sounding the alarm over what they see as an unprecedented foreign interference campaign: the Trump administration’s covert collaboration with Alberta separatists. Washington is openly embracing a secession effort in the oil-rich province that aims to fracture the Canadian federation and undermine workers’ rights. Officials from the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Treasury have held at least three secret meetings with far-right fringe separatists who want Alberta to declare its independence and likely become a part of the United States, according to reporting from the Financial Times on Jan. 29.

Wolves Crying Wolf: Canada, Denmark, Etcetera

January 28, 2026 Indrajit Samarajiva, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Canada, Denmark, Imperialism, Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Rules-based Order

People like Canada's Mark Carney are crying foul about the demise of the ‘rules-based order’ now, over fucking Greenland, and not over the whole Palestinian genocide he just merrily supplied and supported, or any number of atrocities Canada has been involved in, including Canada. White people really want to do crime and high-fives for confessing. I hope America does take Canada, to cure them of their delusion of being the ‘good guys’ of colonialism. I say this as a passport-carrying Canadian. Carney's ‘speech of the century’ isn't worth the dust on a Palestinian fighter's sandals.

Canada Condemns USA, Declaring ‘New World Order’ In China

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has garnered a lot of attention for a speech he delivered at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, in which he condemned Donald Trump’s threats and announced that Canada will “fundamentally shift our strategic posture” and “diversify” away from the United States. These remarks came just a few days after Carney took a high-profile trip to China, to try to mend relations. He was the first Canadian leader to visit since 2017. At a meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in Beijing, Carney said foreign relations must shift in a “new world order”.
