Why do Canadian Conservatives want to bring back plastic straws and shopping bags? It’s bonkers. enviroliteracy.org/the-impact-of-…

We combed through the records and found that Poilievre has voted against workers over 500 times. One throwaway line about workers doesn’t undo that record. It’s not a slip-up, it’s a strategy. Poilievre’s platform shows he’s determined to leave workers behind. #Elxn45

The National Post and Mr. Hopper are once again spreading disinformation. They claim the Vote Palestine campaign calls for sanctions on “everything connected to Israel.” That’s false. The campaign targets Canadian complicity in illegal Israeli settlements. Our response:

cbc.ca/news/canada/to… This sort of incident involving the harassment of a hijab wearing volunteer has happened several times now in the past weeks. No one should be talked to or harassed this way.

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

Too many excellent MPs and exciting candidates lost last night and it’s a net loss for Canada. But if you’re like me and looking for hope: • 26 Vote Palestine candidates won, they will be our voice in Ottawa • The Conservatives were kept at bay and Poilievre lost his seat

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Netanyahu said on Sunday that the "only inevitable outcome" of Israel's destruction of Gaza will be the forced expulsion of Palestinians from the territory. This is genocidal intent. Where are the sanctions? middleeasteye.net/news/netanyahu…

Even tho I don’t live in America I so appreciate this guy Robert Reich for his unrelenting mission to speak truth with evidence. Only saddened that not enough Americans seem able to act on it. Maybe it will change soon under the sheer weight of harm deliberately and consciously done
