Until now, ending a legal strike required MPs to stand in the House and vote for it, in public, with their names recorded. That accountability was a guardrail. Bill C-39 removes this and calls the removal reinforcement. Canadians, should not accept the vocabulary. www.thestar.com/gift-redeem?...

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Everything Carney says he needs private equity to build and finance has been done in the past by government. Instead of taxing wealth to finance these projects he is instead selling our infrastructure to the wealthy. In the end we own nothing while paying more for it.

Coal companies are fighting miners’ federal black lung benefits claims, while the black lung rate surges to a 50-year high. Remember: Trump indefinitely stalled a rule that would limit miners’ exposure to dangerous silica dust, which causes black lung. The “pro-worker” president.

The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

People act like the decision to strike is an easy one to make, it is not. Strikes take a heavy toll on workers, financially, emotionally, and in relationships (family and friendship) Also in my experience strikes are seldom about wages (those are often the easiest to solve) but working conditions.
