The rush for AI data centres has come to Canada. Carney, through his “AI for all” strategy is trying to convince us that this will benefit all of us. But the fact is that AI under capitalism will mean profits for a few while the rest of us suffer.

This week on the Class Line, Joel is joined by Josie Seaton to discuss what Communists think about the mad dash to build data centres.

The government has announced not one, but two pipelines. They claim this will benefit all of us, but the truth is that the public will fund it while the profits remain private. This is another example of socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor.

This week, Joel is joined by Marco La Grotta to discuss the two recent pipelines that were announced and what Communists think about this.

When Carney was elected, he said he would build thousands of affordable homes. Instead, he’s bailing out developers.

This week on the Class Line, Joel is joined by Communist Revolution/Révolution communiste editor Benoît Tanguay to discuss the real reason housing is unaffordable, and how communists would solve this problem.

Mark Carney is trying to spend his way out of the capitalist crisis. The government debt is ballooning out of control. But this won't save the system and the ruling class will force working-class people to pay for this bloated debt through cuts to social services.

This week, Joel is joined by Jeremy Swinarton to discuss the ballooning government debt and what this means for the Canadian class struggle.

The World Cup has come to Canada! Scandalously, ticket prices make attending a match out of reach for most Canadians. This is in spite of the fact that the government paid well over $1 billion to host the games in Vancouver and Toronto.

This week on The Class Line, Joel is joined by Oliver Lue to discuss how capitalism is killing sports and how the World Cup is the clearest example of that.

Mark Carney is more popular than ever. He has made many big promises about building the economy and creating jobs. But the truth is he is captaining a sinking ship, and the working class will be made to pay for the crisis of the system—no matter what Carney says.

This week, Joel is joined by Marco La Grotta to discuss how Carney's promises measure up to reality—and why his honeymoon won't last forever.

Separatist sentiment is rapidly growing in Alberta. Over 300,000 people signed a petition for an independence referendum. Although a judge rejected this, anger has only grown, making a referendum on separation more likely. 
This week on the Class Line, Joel is joined by Laine Sheldon Houle to discuss the desire to separate from Canada and the position communists take towards the Alberta separatist movement. Note: This podcast was filmed on Tuesday May 19th, before Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the referendum on May 21st.

Faced with rising grocery costs, the idea of public grocery stores is gaining traction. First raised by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the idea also became a centerpiece of newly elected NDP leader Avi Lewis’ program - and the Toronto City Council has also voted in favour of a plan to create public grocery stores.
But will this work?
This week on the Class Line, Joel is joined by Marco La Grotta to discuss what Communists think of publicly run grocery stores.
