    Artist Rosalie Harmon captures the beauty of the season

    Eastlink’s plan to cap rural internet access is despicable. Four reasons:

    1. Eastlink is a hugely profitable company, with millions in profits each year.

    2. The Bragg family, who owns Eastlink, has a network worth of over $1 billion and are one of the richest families in the province.

    3. Eastlink received millions of dollars in corporate welfare to build the rural internet network. This project was not completed on time and was over budget, leading to a second round of corporate welfare for Eastlink.

    4. Capping internet access in rural areas would be the same as capping electricity in rural areas. It wouldn't be ok to tell rural residents they could only have lights and heat for 8 hours a day, why would it be ok for internet access?

    Telecommunications should be publicly-owned and operated in the public interest—not for the interests of a handful of billionaires.

    Nationalize Eastlink.

    District Labour Council, HalifaxLabour.ca

    S ingleminded to the task at hand—whether constructing a painting, writing a song or building a home—if the foundation is weak, it’s a poor start. Frame of mind is everything leading to a good—or not so good, performance. Focus and concentration centres us. Whether you’re a surgeon, accountant or mechanic—if you’re self-aware of working in time and space—you are practicing art. It is this practice that grows our body, mind and soul. The end product is simply a necessity. The patient heals, the product gets sold—end of story. It’s what goes through our minds while performing our given tasks that gives us peace of mind—or not. Living in this moment is art.

    Happy Summer onthe South Shore!

    I built this dory thirteen years ago, beginning the year my son Aiden was born. I cut the first boards the weekend before his birth. I think it would take about a hundred hours to build this, maybe something like that, but it took me over a year with my first kid. That was probably a bigger challenge than building a boat. It was finding the time. I use it mostly for pleasure, with a little hunting and fishing as well. I built it cheap, maintain it cheap, and just have fun with it. It’s named Buzz Bomb II from a Dead Kennedys’ album. It's about a stolen car, called the Buzz Bomb. I still like the song. It’s classic punk rock. —Reece Baird, Petite Riviere

    TheTragedyof Social

    Democracy

    The Tragedy of Social Democracy is about the rise, fall and future of social democracy as a politico-ideological force, a force that was believed would democratically transform capitalism into socialism. Instead of democratizing capitalism, social democracy was itself liberalized by capitalism. Why has social democracy gravitated into the magnetic field of neoliberalism? Who can be blamed for such a tragedy? Can social democracy reverse its political and ideological eclipse?

    Numerous books and articles have been written on social democracy, and its political viability has continued to be the subject of debate among left-wing intellectuals. In The Tragedy of Social Democracy, Sirvan Karimi sheds light on the innate structural vulnerability of social democracy to progressive degeneration. Karimi theorizes the transformation of social democracy and establishes a structural linkage between its rise, ascendancy and subsequent decline since the theoretical raid of neoliberalism on Keynesianism in the 1980s. He also highlights certain public policy measures that are indispensable to the social democratic renewal that is being debated among socialists and social democrats.

    Sirvan Karimi is an assistant professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration at York University.
