Harper's out but that isn't enough for the climate

Friends,
It’s with a lot of mixed emotions that I’m writing you this email.
On the one hand, this morning, we’re waking up to a country where Stephen Harper is no longer the Prime Minister, and that’s a good thing.
On the other hand, while Stephen Harper’s government may have been a wholly owned subsidiary of the fossil fuel industry, Prime Minister Trudeau has failed to distinguish himself as a much better option when it comes to the climate.
Less than a week ago, we learned that Justin Trudeau’s campaign co-chair, Daniel Gagnier, had been in the employ of embattled pipeline giant TransCanada, even going as far as giving the company advice on how to lobby Trudeau to get its Energy East project built. Trudeau has been a strong supporter of the Keystone XL pipeline, having traveled to the United States to lobby on behalf of the project.
He has also expressed support for...

The Syrianization of Turkey
Sungur Savran
The immense catastrophe that struck Turkey in the streets of Ankara, the capital city, on 10 October, when two bombs exploded in the midst of a thronging crowd of what would possibly turn out to be hundreds of thousands of people, leading to the death of an indefinite number of people, in any case exceeding one hundred, and the wounding of hundreds, some still under the risk of death, is a sharp reminder, if any were needed, that this is a country undergoing a severe political crisis. The tragic loss of life, ranging from a nine-year old boy to a seventy-year old woman and involving the deaths of a very high number of young people, has left the working-class...

Russia in the Global Crisis:
Geopolitical Dilemmas, Strategic Responses
Geopolitical conflict produced by NATO expansion is a product of an economic and social process taking place in Europe. In fact, it is the logic of the neoliberal model that stimulates NATO expansionism. This is very similar to what we saw in the late nineteenth century with the new wave of colonialism produced by the so-called Late Victorian Depression: to stabilize the system without changing it.
The dream of Russian elites is to have good relations with the West. The elite's money is in the West, their children are at Oxford and Harvard, their property is in Switzerland and England. They are ready to make almost any concession that will not destabilize Russia itself. But the West is...

Friends,
This is the most important election in my lifetime and we’re just three days away from voting day on October 19th. If you haven’t cast your ballot in the advanced polls, make sure you get out and vote. For information about where to go and what to bring, click here.
We’ve been following climate issues closely in this election and here’s our guide to voting for the climate on Monday.
Step One: Vote Out Prime Minister Harper -- If one thing is clear, it’s that our climate just can’t afford another four years of Prime Minister Harper’s relentless support for the oil industry. Under his leadership, Canada has become an international pariah on climate action.
