If companies know that the government will union-bust for them, they won’t even need to consider bargaining in good faith anymore. Oh, how much has Air Canada fallen (from once being a publicly, federally-owned corporation). Shame on this government. Shame. (2/2)

Canada’s Liberals hate unions. It took them less than 13 hours for @pattyhajdu.bsky.social to force arbitration upon Air Canada flight attendants— the very same people currently facing dozens of hours of *unpaid work* every month— and resubjecting them to these same working conditions. (1/2)

Fascinating how it’s always the fault of alienated voters and never the fault of those who knowingly and needlessly alienated them.

Vancouver council is debating a giant permanent sign that says "VANCOUVER", and staff say an issue is putting the sign in a place that won't interfere with film shoots. In other words, a giant "VANCOUVER" sign could interfere with vancouver's lucrative business of pretending to be any other city

«Si c’était n’importe quel autre groupe visé, on serait présentement en moment de scandale national. Mais vu que les personnes trans, dont les jeunes trans, sont vues comme jetables, notre société décide d’ignorer le tout. Quand est-ce qu’on va agir?» pivot.quebec/2025/05/05/w...

CBC IS PROJECTING THAT PIERRE POILIEVRE WILL LOSE HIS CARLETON SEAT

Prosecutors have been illegally eavesdropping on Luigi Mangione’s calls with his attorney.

"We shouldn’t live in a society in which every election — and the times preceding it — are times filled with uncertainty and fear, yet that’s exactly what it’s like to be a trans woman in Canada in 2025. [...] So please — don’t Trump Canada." Don't forget to vote. celeste.lgbt/en/2025/04/v...

Marjorie Tara Greene. But less interesting. www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna...

“Fuck your single-sex spaces and fuck your Supreme Court. If I see you calling the police on a trans person in a public restroom I will personally flush your phone down the bog whilst pretending it’s Wes Streeting’s head.”

Ken Jennings, welcome to The War on Cars.

Unpopular opinion, but the trans sports debate has been an effective wedge issue for the right because for most of our “allies,” support was always about them feeling good rather than developing any empathy or knowledge. Learning about our lives is sad, and learning about our biology is complicated.

"If you don't stop all DEI measures we will cut your funding", since it is logical you will cut our funding any way I choose not to comply.

Drivers will memorize the locations of a dozen speed cameras and behave accordingly, but they still act clueless when parked in the bike lane.

Any responsible jurist should have a healthy disrespect for the law. One that accounts for human rights, democratic values, and foundational tenets. This includes acknowledging that genocides, forced disappearances, arbitrary government actions, etc. must be stopped at all costs.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

This is the real point. If you’re going to say that it’s black humor, you better be moving mountains at the council table. You better be constantly held back by your colleagues when you try to make motions. If you’re not, I don’t give the same benefit of the doubt.

This is a great point. For example, when I look back at the epochal changes of this past January, I would personally have voted not to confirm Marco Rubio

The best option would have been to not implement that agreement at all. The second best option would have been to repeal it prior to this year. The next best option is to rip it apart now. No economic or political concerns should supersede human rights concerns. Ever.

You do not send asylum claimants — people seeking *refuge*, often for political reasons — back to a country which sends them to foreign gulags. @mark-carney.bsky.social, it is your duty under int'l law to rescind the Safe Third Country Agreement immediately. www.montrealgazette.com/news/canada/...

the answer to “what would you have done in germany in 1933” is, for a disturbing number of people, “cooperate eagerly”

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

How you immediately know it's a good bar

Posting someone else's skeets as your own is the ultimate definition of online fraud

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

Autistic man, Dexter Livingstone, 38, commented: “25 hours? Is that it? I did 36 hours on the Battle of Stalingrad last week and no one put me on the news.” (Special thanks to @jonhalling.bsky.social for the headline)

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

American universities- bastions of liberals - folding like cheap suits, falling over themselves to provide cover for genocide & shred the constitution reminds us that liberalism is fascism too. History will remember your complicity & cowardice Print your degrees on toilet paper from here on in.

Transit fares going up 4% and routes risk being cut, all while drivers get cheaper gas through carbon tax removal and $110 in their pocket for doing absolutely nothing. Love this for our transportation system 🥰🚍

America's Golden Age will never come to be if this is the rail station of the fastest growing city in the country:

Endless complying in advance which is actually just enjoying permission to do the evil shit they wanted to do anyway.

Whenever people challenge privileged elites and make them explain themselves, that is a Great Horror That Signals The End Times. But, those so-called protectors of free speech will say nothing when it comes to actual censorship based on fear of government retaliation. Because it was always a lie.

Sometimes I reread this for no reason and feel ~275% better.

I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

tl;dr no it's not covid they literally changed the recipe

Recently I realized that Smartfood white cheddar popcorn, the snack of snacks, did not taste as good as it used to. Was it me? Please accept my mad investigation into the recipe www.eater.com/24394718/sma...

I CANNOT stress how much having a friend and a bar both within walking distance might just be the ultimate key to personal happiness.

I think any sane response by an opposition would include at least opening up the possibility of sending them to The Hague. the moderate position is "we won't send them to The Hague but will prosecute them here." anything short of that is not even intelligible as "opposition"

We get Signal. 🤣

in A.D. 2101 war was beginning

We are taking the fight for our country to the streets. The American consulate in Toronto weren't happy. They called the cops. They don't think we have a right to march on our own city sidewalks. #elbowsup

JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS

almost 20 year anniversary to the actual best vice article of all time

Some random mutual aid Signal chat: No real names used, nothing ever leaks. Messages delete after one hour, a guy complains that it's not set at 10-minute delete. Everyone knows each other in real life, says nothing. The Department of Defense: idk just add anyone whose phone number start with 7.

This is how you get Vichy Dems. Democrats who watch as the world is bulldozed just so they can hold ceremonial positions every few years while they do nothing and then let the world get bulldozed some more. It’s not a theory to make your lives better. It is a job security program for them.
