Avi Lewis is a Jewish politician refusing to be silent about Israel’s genocide—and now he’s being threatened with violence. @judred.bsky.social writes that the lack of uproar reveals just how powerful the pro-Israel consensus remains among Canada’s elite. breachmedia.ca/im-familiar-...

To save universal health care, Ontario must reverse its path. Funding private clinics drains our public system, poaching staff and siphoning taxpayer dollars from front-line care.

This is a incredible clip from @avilewis.ca: he makes it clear that the main power workers have is to withhold their labour to demand better from their employer It is unacceptable that Carney wants to weaker labour rights to make the rich even richer.

There's a reason previous Liberal governments looked at privatizing airports and didn't go through with it. Private investors don't want a stake in our public assets to make them better. They’re in it to make as much money as possible for themselves - while workers and passengers pay the price.
