I wrote about the spectacle of politicians in Ottawa pretending they’ll slay the corporate giants they actually helped to empower. The anti-establishment circus act isn’t intended for the corporate class—it’s meant for the rest of us. breachmedia.ca/canadas-class-…
The Canadian government supports the Israeli state's aggression with more than just words. @Martin_Lukacs explains how Canada supplies Israel with weapons, military training and diplomatic support—and has undermined international legal efforts to investigate Israeli war crimes.
At a property show in Toronto, The Breach got housing investors and landlords to speak frankly about Canada's housing market. They told @tryingtotype that *they're* fed up with the market—because of modest rent control and taxes, and tenants who have nowhere else to go.
In her new book, @NaomiAKlein describes how Steve Bannon is crafting a "MAGA Plus" agenda for Trump—fake populism fused with COVID complaints channeled to the hard right. @PierrePoilievre's using the playbook too—and only real left-populism can show what a counterfeit they are.
Six Canadian companies make the list of emitters partially responsible for the growth in wildfires—and scientists say they should be held to account. “Having long fanned the flames, the fossil fuel industry must start paying its fair share.”
There's nothing natural about inflated food prices, despite what big banks and grocery chains might want you to believe. @JimboStanford explains how the energy, food processing and grocery industries have taken advantage of Canadians—and how they can be stopped.
It really happened: Toronto finally has a progressive mayor. But one person can't create long-term change alone. Here, local organizers present their ideas for how Olivia Chow could build a more just, more livable city. breachmedia.ca/olivia-chow-wi…
For years, two Toronto police divisions were supposed to amalgamate—and a plan was drawn up to turn the former sites into housing. Now, the force isn't budging. And it has no explanation other than to say the plan is on "pause." breachmedia.ca/toronto-police…
After 13 years of austerity in Toronto, Canada's biggest city finally has a progressive mayor. Organizers with @ttcriders, @weareTCAN and @YSWtenants told The Breach what Olivia Chow could do for transit riders, renters and the climate. breachmedia.ca/olivia-chow-wi…
Exclusive: Toronto police are ignoring a plan to cut spending and amalgamate offices—which would've freed up land for affordable housing. If former chief Mark Saunders becomes mayor, police will be even more emboldened, @JayCockburn writes. breachmedia.ca/toronto-police…
A Breach investigation has revealed a pattern of failures at the Surrey, B.C.-based recovery centre Phoenix Society. From on-site deaths to allegations of sexual harassment, the decline of the centre is emblematic of larger issues facing B.C.'s approach to the drug crisis.
Toronto Citizens Collective grew from a Twitter chat for a few neighbours into a registered third-party advertiser in Toronto's mayoral race. It happened because a small group of people were passionate, had some extra time, and wanted to see change: breachmedia.ca/toronto-citize…
The Government of Canada has today announced it is “committed to ensuring that impacts to treaty and Aboriginal rights resulting from the potential release of oil sands mining effluent are understood and fully considered”… Before they go ahead and let Big Oil do it anyway.
What started as a Twitter chat for neighbours to gripe about their city councillor morphed into a legit force in Toronto's mayoral election. And the people behind Toronto Citizens Collective believe their plan—to turn viral content into votes—is working. breachmedia.ca/toronto-citize…
Phoenix Society has received millions in funding and been hailed as a model drug-treatment program in B.C. But clients and staff say a lack of regulation and focus on optics has left residents neglected—and in some cases, dead. breachmedia.ca/death-fraud-de…
Many of the NDP’s top officials shuffle between lobbying firms and work on provincial and federal elections. This new party-lobbyist revolving door is skewing the NDP’s politics. breachmedia.ca/ndp-lobbyists/
In Alberta’s recent election, the NDP campaign was full of operatives who lobby for coal, banks, and big tech. The lobbyist dominance in the party at large has wedded it to power and muffled its anti-corporate passion. breachmedia.ca/ndp-lobbyists/
Hormone-replacement therapy and counselling are necessary for trans teenagers to thrive—and most Canadians agree. Despite right-wing backlash, it’s a popular opinion that, with parental consent, teenagers should have access to these forms of gender-affirming care.
Opportunists like Pierre Poilievre like to say treatment is the only answer to the toxic-drug crisis. But a @tyssingh investigation reveals what happens when governments throw money at these centres without regulating them: clients die and get neglected. breachmedia.ca/death-fraud-de…
If you've ever wondered why the NDP runs uninspiring campaigns, ask the corporate lobbyists in charge. @Martin_Lukacs lays out how the NDP is too often run by professional operatives who push the agendas of coal, big tech or telecoms in their day jobs. breachmedia.ca/ndp-lobbyists/
