The right to strike gives workers power to stand up to big corporations and demand better wages. The federal government shouldn’t take that power away. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/XpTIP5eI

NDP Leader Avi Lewis says Carney’s government is “flooding the zone.” “We are in a crisis moment. We’re under economic attack from the United States and we need a crisis response,” Lewis said. 1/2

Workers are losing their right to strike and Canada is being sold for parts so naturally Canada’s columnist class is focused on what really matters: Why the only prominent progressive voice in politics right now is Evil for criticizing a literal genocide

Robyn Urback, sharing her Globe op-ed, writes: “Avi Lewis' foolish statement should be disqualifying for the leader of a major political party.
However, because he is leader of the NDP, and because his target was Jews, it very well could boost his internal support by five points.”

Gary Mason, another prominent Globe and Mail columnist, shares Robyn’s post and writes: “This is the best and most important piece I have read today. My colleague nails it. I hope Avi Lewis reads it and responds appropriately.”

Stephen Maher, sharing Robyn’s op-Ed (which is titled ‘Opinion: Avi Lewis's foolish statement on 'Jewish people' should be disqualifying’) writes: “I think Lewis is in many ways impressive, and Carney is creating conditions for an NDP revival, but I must agree with this.”

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

Carney is shameless. Pure disaster capitalism. “This time is different,” Carney said. “We are building this country in a more dangerous, divided world, a more hostile world & a difficult market environment as well. We need to retain fiscal discipline, this government is committed to that” #CdnPoli

The idea of airport privatization was previously mulled by the Justin Trudeau government in 2016, before it ultimately backed off amid opposition from unions, some airport authorities and other groups. Carney insisted that Canada today faces a distinct set of pressures from abroad, including the trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump, that makes it essential for the plan to move forward.

The air drop dropped 25 tons of humanitarian aid over Gaza. That’s less than a truckload. Thousands of truckloads are needed. There are thousands of trucks ready to go in. They are not being *allowed* in. The answer is not to drop from the sky. It’s to open the gates.

5 years since the start of the pandemic and it is frustrating that we still need to keep repeating: vaccines, masks, tests, and cleaning the air all play roles in reducing transmission. Wrongly claiming that any of these layers isn’t important is an anti-science stance.

So far, it seems that leaders of professional associations are valuing their proximity to power above sound and ethical public health practices. newrepublic.com/article/1949...

“It is obvious that many doctors and scientists are self-censoring,” said Dr. Jonathan Howard, a neurologist at NYU Langone and author of the book We Want Them Infected, which chronicles how certain doctors came to embrace the anti-vaccine movement. “Given the purges at these agencies and vast canceling of grants, this is no surprise.” Indeed, a number of doctors to whom I reached out about Prasad’s appointment to head CBER either declined to comment or wished to remain anonymous. I did not receive responses from major medical associations I contacted, either.

Under its new leadership — who spread misinformation throughout the pandemic — the FDA announced it will limit all Covid vaccines to adults over 65 and those with certain medical conditions. Covid continues to spread and cause harm. This an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.

Covid isn’t over just because you want it to be. The rush back to normal was done to prop up the economy, not because the threat had passed. We have the tools to not only beat COVID, but reduce the spread of many airborne diseases. Masks in healthcare, clean air & paid time off save lives.

Disgusting, if unsurprising. The death cult made enough inroads with the Biden govt; now they’re in charge. The “vax-and-relax” strategy was foolish & insufficient already; now there won’t even be vaccines for most. 🤬 Canada mustn’t follow such stupidity but there’s a risk it will. #cdnpoli
