The right to strike gives workers power to stand up to big corporations and demand better wages. The federal government shouldn’t take that power away. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/XpTIP5eI

NDP Leader Avi Lewis says Carney’s government is “flooding the zone.” “We are in a crisis moment. We’re under economic attack from the United States and we need a crisis response,” Lewis said. 1/2

This crisis moment is a chance to reimagine what kind of Canada we want to build – and Canadians are ready to build big things together.

Funny, because the Truckers got three weeks to hang out before police lifted a finger. Interesting.

Workers are losing their right to strike and Canada is being sold for parts so naturally Canada’s columnist class is focused on what really matters: Why the only prominent progressive voice in politics right now is Evil for criticizing a literal genocide

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

Mark Carney wants to build AI factories in the middle of downtown Vancouver. It’ll likely spike energy prices, and suck up water resources - but local communities are fighting back. If we can make the backlash big enough, we can force the government to rethink: eko.org/canada-pause...

In today’s video, I’m going to show you a clip. In it, Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir can be seen toasting champagne to celebrate a apartheid law enacting a death penalty for Palestinians. I reached out to our foreign affairs minister to ask about it. Here’s what happened:

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Once one government learns it can override your fundamental rights, every government learns it can too. That’s the danger of the Notwithstanding Clause. It teaches power to ignore accountability. Draw the line. Defend the Charter. savethecharter.ca

A new bombshell report just dropped that exposes hundreds of Canadian arms shipments to Israel. I reached out to the government about this...and their response suggested either further obfuscation or that they're uninformed about weapons exports during a genocide. Here's what happened:

The air drop dropped 25 tons of humanitarian aid over Gaza. That’s less than a truckload. Thousands of truckloads are needed. There are thousands of trucks ready to go in. They are not being *allowed* in. The answer is not to drop from the sky. It’s to open the gates.

The betrayal of science and of public health continues.

5 years since the start of the pandemic and it is frustrating that we still need to keep repeating: vaccines, masks, tests, and cleaning the air all play roles in reducing transmission. Wrongly claiming that any of these layers isn’t important is an anti-science stance.

Take a moment to support more sensible, forward-thinking policy that is in our self-interest (as future pensioners) and the planet (without which there won't be much point to having whatever meagre public pension might survive the depredations of the oligarchs by then).

To the people of Palestine, Im sorry you have been utterly failed by the EU. Never Again means Never Again for anyone. #FreePalestine #StopIsraeliGenocide

I'm legitimately curious, enough to open comments. All you folks who told us not to speak up yet, to give the new government time, to trust what they tell us: are you ok with Canada joining Trump's "golden dome"? Should we say anything critical yet or nah? www.bbc.com/news/article...

“We want them infected” CC @joho.bsky.social

According to the headline “Diseases are spreading. The CDC isn’t warning the public like it was months ago,” and while l am accustomed to keeping my expectations low, evidently these days it is expecting too much to expect the Centers for Disease Control to control diseases.

Yep. There has never been any independent medical info released about the supposed injury, no medical records, nothing.

Hungary has banned Pride marches. It's a direct attack on LGBT+ rights and the freedom to protest. Sign now to demand EU action before May 27! Help protect human rights and keep Pride alive. a.allout.org/s/WZRVR/

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions. Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.

They are fighting for your right to get sick and die.

Covid isn’t over just because you want it to be. The rush back to normal was done to prop up the economy, not because the threat had passed. We have the tools to not only beat COVID, but reduce the spread of many airborne diseases. Masks in healthcare, clean air & paid time off save lives.

My tired friend please understand when they see you they are not angry because you are masking, because you are testing, because you are cautious, no, my tired friend please understand when they see you they are angry because the sight of you reminds them the pandemic isn’t over.
