I don't think you could come up with a more pro-corporate headline about this strike if you tried. This framing from CTV is shameful. If Westjet paid there employees for the work they did we wouldn't be in this situation! #westjet #strike #union #ctv share.google/LWsbasCySkqY...

Canadians won't soon forget if the Prime Minister intervenes on behalf of WestJet this time around. This strike is about basic fairness, dignity and respect. No one should be expected to work for free.

The fact that section 107 even exists in Canada is wildly anti-democraticand shows a complete disrespect for workers right. Any use of it should be viewed as illegitimate and ignored by unions. #westjet #strike #carney #union #canada #flightattendants

If you ever had any doubt that rightwing media is just official state propaganda at this point, consider that Charlie Kirk was replaced on his show by the sitting Republican vice president who ‘interviewed’ White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. Independent media!

1. Azerbaijan hasn't been at war with Albania. Trump confuses Albania with Armenia. But he wants credit, a Nobel Prize, for ending a war in which he can't identify the parties. 2. The Fox hosts are too ignorant or too sycophantic to correct him. 3. Imagine if Biden had said this.

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him. If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

Looks like America is about to exalt another racist to hero status. It's despicable that Charlie Kirk was shot. Full stop. But I take issue with Utah Governor Spencer Cox acting like being a vocal racist who spews hate somehow translates to something noble. It's not. It, too, is despicable.

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever. We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns. The guns!

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

It sucks that guys get so caught up in fighting for status among men that they can’t even admit a woman is hot because she isn’t the “male-culture approved” kind of hot. Letting other men decide for you which women you think are hot might sound kinda gay, but it’s actually extremely straight.
