Canada’s privacy commissioner says citizens have a right to have some information removed from search engines. In another example of US tech companies flouting rules in other countries, Google is refusing to comply. There should be serious consequences when companies do this.

CJPME has written to Minister Fraser about reports that the RCMP has launched a war crimes investigation. We have been advocating for this and cautiously welcome it, but are concerned about the lack of details. Canada must hold perpetrators of genocide to account. www.cjpme.org/2025_06_04_m...

Labour disruptions remained a "significant challenge" in 2024, with major stoppages that resulted in 2.3 million "person-days lost," @confboardofcanada.bsky.social. For 1st time in 3 years, wages outpaced inflation. Almost as if labour action works. #cdnpoli #canlab www.newswire.ca/news-release...

Bravo @seancarleton.bsky.social!

So many bad takes on the tariffs. Nationalism on overdrive and we have to be critical of that given the rise of the hard and far-right. The Left needs to figure out some strong analysis and concrete strategies. Glad @springmagca.bsky.social is hosting an event this weekend.
