From Gaza to Flin Flon, it’s clear: capitalists are cashing in while everything falls apart. In this episode of Loose Wires, we cover wildfires across northern Canada, corporate profiteering at Walmart, state violence at the border, and a system that turns grief into profit. We also get into Indigenous-led mutual aid, the cynical use of fentanyl panic in Canadian politics, and why unity of ends and means still matters.
