CBC's Fact Check team found a Ford Fest photo shared by PC MPPs appeared edited, turning purple OPSEU protest shirts blue. The defence? Correcting an "orange hue." It echoes Trump's long-running obsession with crowd optics. If support is real, why alter the image?

Canada is replicating the mistakes of other countries in going all in on AI without thinking clearly about the harms that could be unleashed on society in the process. It was great to chat with @hadrianmk.bsky.social to learn more about Mark Carney’s AI strategy and the many problems it presents.

Read the USW's statement on the compensation awarded Algoma CEO Michael Garcia. Last December, 1,000 union members received layoff notices just before the holidays. The details of Garcia’s compensation have now been released and, as many suspected, they are egregious, considering the circumstances.

#Switzerland: In collaboration with our affiliates in Palestine and Lebanon, we are organising a side event as part of the 62nd session of the UNHRC to discuss the urgent need to protect journalists and to secure accountability for journalists killed by Israel in Palestine and Lebanon. #EndImpunity

Canada’s Senate released a report calling for government powers to ban strikes and impose contracts on rail and port workers. This is a threat to every worker. Send a message to the Senate now and tell senators you strongly oppose attacks on workers’ fundamental rights.

#Russia: We are deeply concerned by news that human rights organisation OVD-Info has been added to Rosfinmonitoring’s list of “terrorists and extremists”. This is a blow to the ability to defend human rights in Russia. The decision must be reversed: www.hrw.org/news/2026/06... 1/2

Not sure why the CAJ runs these ads. It only hurts its credibility. The Fraser Institute is a biased right-wing think tank. They are trying to slant journalistic coverage under the guise of education. No self-respecting journalist would attend this propaganda session.

Journalists are civilians under international humanitarian law. Facilities and equipment utilized for reporting and disseminating news are also civilian structures. They must be respected and protected. Journalists are #NotATarget.

CBC reports the Carney government is quietly considering major labour law changes, including possible limits on the right to strike. Unions are sounding the alarm. So Canadians should ask: Where’s the line between economic “stability” and weakening workers’ democratic rights? 🇨🇦
