“Man Equal Of Machine,” Border Cities Star. February 17, 1933. Page 15. ---- Tory M. L. A. Says He Should Be, But Is So Treated ---- Cites Depreciation ---- H. I. Price in His Maiden Speech, Urge Job Insurance ---- By Staff Reporter TORONTO. Feb. 17. Men who work in factories are entitled to as much consideration from their employers as the machines they operate, but they are not getting it, Harry I. Price, Conservative member for West York, complained in his maiden speech yesterday afternoon in the Legislature.

FAVORS JOB INSURANCE "AN economic system which allows that condition to exist is wrong,” charged the new member, urging the House to go on record for federal contributory unemployment insurance.

Nor were these the only bombshells. "Direct relief, in my opinion, is wrong." he said, "but it is unavoidable. But if we had had a few more pessimists a few years ago If we had faced conditions three or four years ago, the giving of direct relief would not be necessary today."

Praising Attorney-General Price's campaign against Communism. Mr. Price - he is not a relative of the attorney-general - said:

"The attorney-general has steered a wise and moderate course in these times, when strange and dangerous doctrines gain adherents." He referred to Col. Price as being on guard "against the insidious doctrine of Communism: against the desire to force on other people a system of semi-slavery.

"There is ample place within our laws, the Attorney-General has maintained, for those who wish to criticize, but there is no place for those who wish merely to destroy.

"It has been said that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.' Men who love liberty will thank the Attorney-General for keeping a watchful eye on this element."

DEPRECIATION RESERVES Of unemployment he said: "Men are entitled to the same consideration from the employer of labor as he gives to the machines in his plant. All plants each year write off a certain percentage for depreciation.

"In those same industries we find the employe, after giving perhaps the best years of his life, being told by his employer, who is forced to the step by competition: 'I am sorry, but you can no longer hold up your end, so I will have to dispense with you'."

He said he was confident the Dominion Government would treat this important problem as it had given attention to other social legislation "fairly and adequately."

"This is a matter of federal Jurisdiction, but I think this House should go on record in favor cf unemployment insurance," he said. He praised Premier Henry's efforts to secure the inauguration of unemployment insurance at the recent provincial-federal conference at Ottawa.

"This problem can't be dealt with by the individual provinces." said Mr. Price, "and it must be on a contributory basis."

GOLD PRODUCTION Lauding in turn the government departments. Mr. Price referred to Ontario's gold production of $53,000,000 last year as compared with $40,000,000 the year before, and gave much of the credit for this showing to Hon. Charles McCrea. Minister of Mines.

Defending the retention of the public welfare department, which has been subjected to criticism, he stated that at the end of the last fiscal year, October 31. 1932. benefits under the Mothers Allowance Act were being given 24.372 persons at a cost of $2,713.633.50 per year. Pensioners numbered 41.658, and these aged persons were receiving average pensions of $13.32 monthly for an aggregate of $3,212,741.

Citing year-by-year totals, rates and costs to the government since 1920 of provincial bond issues, he declared: "No criticism can be levelled at the government for its 1932 financing. Ontario borrowed money consider be lower than any province borrowing at or about the same time."

SCHOOL SPORTS Speaking as a member of the Ontario Athletic Commission he defended i sports in schools as Improving school and student morale and told the i House schools well in the van of athletic prowess were also usually known for high academic standards. The five percent tax on all professional sport is used to assist amateur sports of all kinds. None of the members of the commission has ever received any payment.

Edward Hopper, The Bridle Path, 1939. Oil on canvas.

The Bridle Path shows three riders on horseback approaching the West 72nd Street entrance to Central Park in New York City. A large building [the Dakota] is seen above the hillside towering over the three riders - two women and a man. The riders are dressed in modern 1930s riding garb and appear to be galloping toward the dark tunnel. The man leans back and his horse's head rears up, slowing the gallop as they approach the tunnel.

Sotheby's says, "As the riders approach the foreboding darkness of the tunnel, they at first seem to fearlessly race ahead into the unknown. Yet the rider of the white horse pulls at the reins, as if questioning the decision to proceed" and suggests that this may have reflected Hopper's anxiety about the coming war. Hopper said, "There is a certain fear and anxiety, a great visual interest in the things that one sees coming into a great city."

“HENRY REPEATS HIS CHALLENGE,” Brantford Expositor. May 27, 1932. Page 7. ----- Wants Mitchell F. Hepburn to Take Ontario Riding ---- TORONTO, May 27— (By The Canadian Press)— Speaking on behalf of the Conservative candidate, Harry Price, Premier George S. Henry made his first address of the West York provincial by-election campaign at New Toronto last night before more than 1200 persons. The premier reiterated that if Mitchell F. Hepburn, the Ontario Liberal leader, chose to stand for election to the Legislature in a constituency at present represented by one of his own supporters, the Conservative party would offer no opposition.

The premier denounced radical-ism and referring to Mr. Hepburn's recent “swing to the left” statement said it was merely another term for extreme Radicalism “as near to Communism as a man can get.” He declared that as long as section 98, the “unlawful assembly” section of the criminal code, remained part of the law of the country, the province of Ontario would enforce It without fear or favor.

In a brief address supporting W. J. Gardhouse, the Liberal nominee, Mr. Hepburn accused Premier Henry of “lack of constructive leadership” in a period of economic. stress “All he does is ask me riddles,” the Liberal leader said. Referring to charges by Hon. Leopold Macaulay, minister of highways, that he was a detractor of his country, Mr, Hepburn said “I am quite as good a Canadian as he is. The difference between us is that I have the interests of the masses at heart and he has the interests of the Interests.”

Hon. Harry Nixon, Progressive chieftain, also addressed a by-election meeting in the interests of the Liberal candidate. He refereed to the statement of the minister of agriculture at Sarnia last year to the effect the Ontario farmer was the highest taxed individual in the world. Nothing has been done to lower the farmer's taxes he declared.

2024 US Election Information

We have roughly 1 year until the 2024 US election. I've put in some research, and here are my conclusions.

TLDR for those of you who don't have time or focus: Cornel West (Democratic Socialist running as People's Party -> Green Party) is the ideal candidate to vote for - normally I wouldn't advocate voting third party, but we may actually have a shot for once, and he has excellent policies. Jill Stein (Green Party) is a potential backup, though if West drops out, our best option for Democratic party is Marianne Williamson.

Please spread this information, especially to residents of Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada. Detailed information under the cut.

Current Fascist and Republican Candidates

Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, Ryan Binkley, and Doug Burgum.

I'm not going to entertain their details, but I will note that the information I picked up while being exposed to alt-right communities from the inside via my fascist parents earlier this year shows strong evidence that Republicans are likely going to split between Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis (viewed as a betrayal by Trump supporters), and openly fascist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (I'll cover him later).

My guess is a 6/3/1 Republican vote split between Trump/DeSantis/Kennedy, Jr..

Current Democratic Candidates

Joe Biden, Marianne Williamson, and Dean Philips.

Biden has overall failed to complete the majority of his campaign promises, and has been directly supporting Israel during the genocide of Palestine, as well as deferring to Republicans to be "bipartisan" (I don't think I have to stress enough that a bipartisan democrat is not a democrat) - do not vote for him.

Williamson is a high-school educated 71-year-old author from Los Angeles, California. She is known for being Oprah Winfrey's, "spiritual advisor," (double red flag), and dropped out during the 2020 election (another red flag).

While she supports the reinstatement of Roe v. Wade, the decriminalization of cannabis and psychedelic drugs, the reduction of CO2, and moving to 100% renewable energy by 2035, her advocacy for the outright banning of assault and semi-assault weapons for civilians without military reform of the same is a slight red flag when combined with her relationship with Oprah Winfrey (an Obama supporter, the president who authorized quite a lot of drone strikes in West Asia) and drop-out makes her not a great candidate.

Philips is a Bachelor's (Brown University) and Master's Business (University of Minnesota) educated 54-year-old three-term congressman who is noted for criticizing Biden running for a second term on account of both political moderacy and medical concerns.

Philips unfortunately wants to increase police funding for some reason, but advocated for better training, including mental health training. He also advocates for what he calls, "comprehensive immigration reform," in the form of increased border security and streamlining legal entry (this ignores the problem outlined by the UN that people seeking asylum are likely to have to enter a country illegally before they can seek support), and the only real good stance he has is giving reproductive rights to patients, rather than politicians.

Philips is essentially a moderate Republican, and is a bad candidate. Do not vote for him.

Current Independent Candidates

Fascist (not his stated political stance, but it's what he is)

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a fascist that has openly quoted Nazi propaganda in his political campaigns, is an anti-vaccine activist, and has spread anti-science conspiracy theories such as vaccines causing autism and the non-existence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. I cannot stress this enough, do not fucking vote for Kennedy, Jr.

Democratic Socialist

Cornel West is a Bachelor's (Harvard University), Master's, and Ph.D. (both Princeton University) educated 70-year-old progressive activist that switched his running party from the People's Party to the Green Party, despite being a both public- and self-described democratic socialist.

When asked why he wasn't running as a Democrat against Biden, he stated that, "Neither party is speaking to the pressing needs of poor and working people."

His party plans are a wealth tax on the rich, a national $27 minimum wage, a federal Universal Basic Income, 6 months of paid family leave, a 4-day work week, national free Pre-K childcare, "Immediate cessation of all oil and gas leasing projects on federal lands and waters," "Federal moratorium on fracking, carbon capture, and direct air capture technologies, geoengineering, and other false climate solutions," putting abortion rights in the Constitution, and nationalized healthcare.

Here's where I want to lay out something important. I normally wouldn't advocate for voting for a third party candidate due to the Spoiler Effect, but

Considering the United States' Democratic majority, popular vote records showing a common Republican minority, the absolutely incredible policies West stands for,

The growing support for third parties in the United States, and his policies aligning with public opinion,

Cornel West is the ideal candidate to vote for. Spread this information like wildfire - we may have one shot at the first third party win in US history in the upcoming 2024 election, and

If successful the dominant parties will be Fascist vs. Socialist, denying most, if not all, future Republican wins.

Our target toss-up states are Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.

Converting Texas to third party, or even just Democrat, will throw the Republican vote entirely and all but guarantee a Democrat, or hopefully third party, 2024 election win,

Which is absolutely possible, as Texas is majority Democrat and wins Republican votes via gerrymandering despite public opinion, which is why it swings occasionally.

Democrat states also need to be switched to majority third party votes, with particular emphasis on California, New York, and Illinois.

GET PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR CORNEL WEST!

Reference map of polling for the future 2024 election:

Libertarian (slightly Conservative to alt-right, really depends on the person)

Chase Oliver is a surprisingly progressive high school educated 38-year-old anti-war Libertarian that left the Democratic party after witnessing Obama's aggressive anti-West Asian war policies who has expressed desires for criminal justice reform and ending wars abroad, though hasn't elaborated on either.

Green Party

Jill Stein is a Bachelor's (Harvard University) and Medical (Harvard Medical University) 73-year-old Jewish doctor who previously ran for and represented the Green-Rainbow Party as the governor of Massachusetts.

Stein is notable for being an activist and protestor who has both protested outside buildings and testified before legislative and other government bodies against coal plants, mercury leaks, and unclean and unsafe groundwater.

Presumably, her stances will focus on environmental protections, trans rights, and Jewish protections, making her a potential alternative should West drop out.

Conclusions:

Again, don't fucking vote for Trump, Haley, Ramaswamy, Hutchinson, Scott, DeSantis, Christie, Binkley, Burgum, Biden, Philips, or Kennedy, Jr..

Our potential backup Democratic candidate is Williamson.

The ideal candidate is West, with Stein as a viable backup.

As absurd as it sounds, I want you to vote third party for Cornel West.

If you want a wealth tax on the rich, a national $27 minimum wage, a federal Universal Basic Income,

6 months of paid family leave, a 4-day work week, national free Pre-K childcare,

"Immediate cessation of all oil and gas leasing projects on federal lands and waters," "Federal moratorium on fracking, carbon capture, and direct air capture technologies, geoengineering, and other false climate solutions,"

putting abortion rights in the Constitution, and nationalized healthcare,

VOTE FOR CORNEL WEST AND GET OTHER PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME.

WE HAVE A CHANCE AT THE FIRST THIRD PARTY WIN IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE DENIAL OF FUTURE REPUBLICAN WINS.
