French court classifies 1943 Nazi-era roundup as crime against humanity
Some 20,000 people were displaced in the raids, carried out in January 1943 on orders from the Nazis, with the Vichy regime's active collaboration, in an area of Marseille's historic center that was a known hub for people of immigrant origin.

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.
 
Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.
 
It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."

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

Mark Carney says he’s protecting Canadian workers. It’s Orwellian doublespeak
Subject to ministerial review, the right to strike is likely to be much weakened by Bill C-39.
