Union Presidents Say Federal Government is “Scapegoating” Public Servants For the Deficit “This government is not on your side,” says Canadian Association of Public Employees president pressprogress.ca/union-presid...

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Imagine the response in any other workplace if you called your colleague names in the middle of a meeting. A public apology for such childish behaviour is warranted @timtierney.ca.

Voice of the Ottawa Charge's fan base getting louder thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/...

This morning, Mayor Sutcliffe held a press conference outlining the modified Lansdowne 2.0 recommendations before city councillors or the public had access to them. That’s unacceptable. Transparency and respect for Council should come before media rollouts.

Pleased to be with @glengower.ca at @otttransitriders.bsky.social event tonight featuring @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social. We used to have one of the best transit systems in North America - these folks want us to get back to that!

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

Govt intervened way too early in the Air Canada strike, and it's caused chaos. If the strike had been allowed to play out for days, pressure increases on both employer and union to bargain. Instead, AC ran to govt to put their thumb on the scale, and now the natural balance is skewed

CUPE's Mark Hancock is prepared to be jailed for defying the Carney government's back-to-work order to force Air Canada to negotiate with flight attendants "If it means folks like me going to jail, so be it...Our members want a solution here, but that solution has to be found at a bargaining table"

Would be interesting if feds just announced now they will enact legislation requiring flight attendants be paid their hourly wage for all hours worked. Both Tories and NDP have already said such a law should be passed. Only Liberals resisting. How would that affect the dispute? #AirCanada

“The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation”

Reminder that the strike is about a women-dominated workforce doing unpaid labour while executives get huge bonuses. Carney's Liberals are exactly who we warned they were. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

1. Arc of the moral universe, etc. Teachers, journalists, healthcare workers, and academics have been fired or suspended for expressing pro-Palestinian views. Some workers and students have been added to public or private blacklists (Canary Mission) for pro-Palestinian activism

Today and every day, believe survivors. The system is beyond flawed when several men tell several different stories and communicate they need to “get their stories straight” before an investigation and cannot be questioned on their own actions or reliability.

conservatives: let’s cut important crown corporations liberals: let’s have important crown corporations *cut themselves* we are much better

People who feel bad for JD Vance’s kids as family gets booed at Disneyland. I get it, but better those kids know now what their father is about. Other kids are watching their parents get shipped off to gulags.

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I expected to be disappointed by Carney. I did not expect to be this disappointed this quickly.

Feel like I’m just yelling into a void trying to get answers about cooling centers in Ottawa for tomorrow’s heat wave. People will die without access to temperature-controlled spaces and our city has advertised nothing. @ottawapublichealth.ca @lauradudas.bsky.social @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social

Not sure this is an effective rejoinder to the charge, implied and explicit, of being a bitch

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

This is normie gold and a tone that is going to resonate with a lot of people.

The Trump administration has gone mask-off fascist. It’s important to say that.

If any other country was arbitrarily torturing or imprisoning Canadian, British, German, etc. citizens like this, Global Affairs Canada would be issuing travel advisories about that country

🙃

Hey CBC, don’t do this. It’s not a “proposal.” Having different wording on your website won’t diminish the harm done by having Canada’s national broadcaster treat this as a serious conversation (see below for how it’s being portrayed on the relatively sane CPAC…). Pull out of this disaster now.

Tapping the sign

Two Way Street. A reworked version I made from a police produced victim and youth blaming PSA.

Now do Starlink.

HEY UHHH WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON DOWN THERE

ALSO: some of the politicians who donated to this guy’s GoFundMe also opposed affordable housing and shelters in their own communities. Some of them are actively opposing the establishment of refugee reception centres in Ottawa RIGHT NOW.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Big pet peeve when people say violence is never the answer. Like have you heard of policing, prisons, the death penalty, the military, war, etc. Governments have actually chosen violence as the main answer
