Spot-on statement from @unifor.org, Canada’s largest private-sector union:

Eating the viral General Tso’s poutine. God I love multiculturalism

CUPE is outraged by the United States’ unlawful and lethal attack on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. We are shocked that the U.S. military bombed this sovereign nation. This is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.

Top executives in Canada earn 248 times more than the average worker #inequality @policyalternatives.ca globalnews.ca/video/115997...

It’s hard to be much clearer than that when articulating a statement of imperialist (even colonialist) intent.

32 Cuban personnel killed in Trump’s attacks on Caracas. You'd have to assume Cubans in Venezuela were specifically targeted

Canadians understand that the US’s kidnapping of Maduro is not just about Venezuela, it’s about all of us in the Americas and our right to peace and sovereignty. Does Mark Carney and the rest of the Canadian political class understand it?

Canada must condemn imperialist aggression and kidnapping in Venezuela. This escalating pattern of lawlessness, which also manifests in attacks on Canada's own sovereignty, nevertheless finds the Canadian government actively complicit. Full statement: communist-party.ca/canada-must-...

Carney’s weak response to Trump’s attempt at regime change at the behest of oil corporations is predictable. When a government like Carney’s and Eby’s—which cares only about enriching fossil fuel executives—are faced with the hard choices, they’ll choose corporate power over working people. #bcpoli

i guess "everyone is 12 theory" also applies to "the united states has noble goals in mind for the venezuelan people" and "bombing a foreign country is a trumpian break from an otherwise just US foreign policy"

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Servile, cowardly, and tepid words from the Government of Canada in the face of the most blatant violation ever of the post-Nuremberg system of state sovereignty by a self-described dictator. Abajo el imperialismo yanqui en las Americas y todo el mundo

also like, why is this in the irish times? why haven’t we seen comprehensive reports like this in canadian media? it’s like she was sanctioned then they all moved on to the next trump story of the week like lemmings

Talked my mom into cancelling her Epoch Times subscription and got her to sign up for progressive, independent Canadian media @peoplesvoice.bsky.social , @readthemaple.bsky.social, and @breachmedia.ca all offer serious coverage and analysis of things the billionaire press won’t cover!

- Force taxpayers to spend $6M on an anti-communist memorial - turns out 60% of your 'victims of communism' are Nazis, one being responsible for the execution of over 350 Latvian Jews - end up with no names on your victims of communism memorial, turning the monument into pro-communist art

“All private and public sector employers should pay their employees, whether direct or on contract, at least a living wage,” reads a report authored by @ccpanovascotia.bsky.social in August. #canlab futureofgood.co/record-numbe...

a hero for our time

Canada should be doing the same. There are open source alternatives with proven scaleability (Linux, LibreOffice) and domestic forks/alternatives that would benefit from a sovereign, public-first industrial policy (GrapheneOS)

the homunculus union refuses to strike in solidarity with the familiar & summoned beings union. this is so sad.

Hey Liberals! Putin hates this book, you should totally read it. Give the🖕🏼to Putin. Read State and Revolution now!

NYC has a new mayor who’s saying the quiet part out loud: When workers have ironclad rights, union-busters shrink. Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social gets it. We’re building a future where workers hold the power and we’re just getting started. ✊🏾💜

Just what Canada needs, the Wall Streetification of our financial sector. Who knew "elbows up" was brought to you by Goldman Sachs.

Browsing reddit and other socials you'd think Canada Post are the worst parcel delivery in the sector. Posties are the only parcel carriers that actually prioritize secure delivery. Purolator, Dragonfly, etc. basically throw your package on the driveway (or the nearest body of water) with no notice

superpower whose economy is built on data center construction, sports betting, healthcare extortion, and subprime auto loans. very healthy

As they should. Ottawa just ran roughshod over the rights of CUPW workers.

The pathetic attempt to censor Kneecap has backfired on an epic scale - not only have all charges been dismissed, but Kneecap are now more popular than ever before, selling out gigs across the world. The time when you could punish workers who spoke up for Palestine has come to a definitive end. 🇵🇸🇮🇪

Furor over Ottawa pride parade disruption obscures underlying problem of police, military and corporate involvement via @peoplesvoice.bsky.social pvonline.ca/2025/09/10/f...

As part of today’s action, protestors were painting a mural in front of the PMO and the cops were the most aggressive I’ve seen them. A human chain formed to protect the painters as they painted “people, peace, planet, or profits”. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Watched @ottawapolice.bsky.social brutalize climate youth activists for the horrible crime of (gasp) painting on the road today. Terrific waste of my tax dollars as an Ottawa resident and a clear indication that the police don’t protect the people

My new article on the state of #CanLab politics after the 2025 Canadian election and labour's failure to stop working class dealignment. Thanks to @canadiandimension.bsky.social for publishing this long form article. canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Disappointing to see @ottawalabour.bsky.social use what appears to be AI image generation to promote a Labour Day event when so many in our movement (especially in visual media) are fighting the displacement of their jobs and theft of their work by this technology

It’s increasingly clear that Mark Carney misled Canadians about how he was going to approach the United States and wants to govern as a CEO instead of as a prime minister accountable to parliament in a democratic country.

The world's public service workers stand with David and all those fighting for justice! @seiu.org USWW Local President David Huerta was assaulted, injured & detained while advocating for immigrant workers during ICE Raids Learn More: publicservices.international/resources/ne... #FreeDavidEndRaids

Greta Thunberg is sailing to Gaza to protest the blockade by Israel. Last time she set off Israel drone striked her ship and nearly sank it. But of course the Media completely ignored this blatant War Crime in the Mediterranean, because Israel did it.

Funniest detail to me re: Thom Yorke's weird relationship to Israel is that it's the first place Creep really took off so Israel kinda launched Radiohead's career. Israeli music fans could not get enough of a song that asks "what the hell am I doing here" and answers with "I don't belong here."

Austerity, military spending and nothing that actually will strengthen Canada's sovereignty (invest in culture and R&D). Man, Canadians got ultra played.

"Wow, wild how Biden faced Palestine protests all the time and I haven't heard a peep about Trump." These people are so ignorant. Do you not have object permanence? If it isn't in the NYT then it ceases to exist, I guess.

This is the Liberal version of QAnon, and it is just as vile and racist in its implication. Maybe get off your phone and join a protest against the 21st century holocaust your government supports to the tune of $3.8billion/year
