🇨🇦 Today, Candice Malcolm, the Conservative owner of the extreme right-wing 'True North News,' and wife of Shopify's MAGA-loving CEO, raised questions online regarding the gender of one of PM Mark #Carney's children.

This is nasty, unacceptable & disgraceful behaviour from the #Poilievre crowd. #NeverVoteConservative

Reminder, Mrs Poilievre is associated with Mr & Mrs Shopify and uses their downtown #Ottawa office space, and Keean Brexte, PM Trudeau's stalker works for Ms. Malcolm.

"We can always tell" used to be a form of hate speech against a tiny group of marginalized people, indicating that they can tell if you are "a boy or a girl".

Now the same hateful ideology has expanded to cover large swaths of the American population, indicating that "they can always tell" who's an "illegal" by the way they look, leading to Indigenous First Nations people being deported from their homeland as Mexican immigrants, and tattoo artists being labeled as gang members, and therefore "terrorists", for their skin art.

This expansion of hateful ideology of course, should come as no surprise to anyone. That is why you cannot allow hate to live, no matter if it affects you or not. Soon enough, it'll hit your friends, your family, and yourself.

@VE2UWY I mean, I took an oath of loyalty to Queen Elizabeth and her heirs and successors, so there’s that. But as a Canadian with absolutely no family connection to the British Isles, I think constitutional monarchy works - and serves as a protection against the kind of imperial presidency that was devolved to the Trump 2.0. It’s a relatively benign way to scratch a human itch. #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada

If Trump listens to Israel and strikes this facility he will have officially declared war on the entire Persian gulf and be responsible for a genocide of millions.

#CPPotD Canadian Politics Poll of the Day - Mark Carney Goes to Europe Edition!

I have been supportive of talk of Canada joining the EU, but I admit, I feel a little... conflicted.. about this quotable quote from PM Mark Carney today alongside President Macron.

What was your reaction to Carney saying we are "The most European of Non-European Countries”?

CBCCarney meets with King Charles on first international trip as prime minister | CBC NewsPrime Minister Mark Carney landed in England on Monday where he had a private audience with King Charles.

"PM Carney made a strategic move: instead of making Washington his first diplomatic destination, he boarded a plane for Paris.
Canada has aligned itself with the United States for decades in nearly all aspects of trade, defense, and diplomacy. It is telling that Mr. #Carney has refused any communication with Trump or the Trump admin 3 days into being Canada’s Prime Minister."

deanblundell.substack.comMark Carney's Bold EU Pivot: Building Canada into a Superpower Without the U.S.Carney has refused any communication with Trump or the Trump admin 3 days into being Canada’s Prime Minister

A reminder that it was only 3 days before 4,000 education workers in Edmonton Public, Fort McMurray Public, and Fort McMurray Catholic school districts reached a tentative agreement "higher than the original wage mandates imposed by the Alberta government", that Medicine Hat workers rejected a deal for a measly 3% annual wage increase which doesn't keep up with inflation, which their employer called a "final offer" (which is a bullshit line unless you intend on violating legislated labour laws).

Now 3 days later, their bargaining position has completely changed. There is no way that the Medicine Hat school district can continue to hold out when 4,000 fellow Alberta education workers have won a fair contract and in the words of Alberta CUPE president Rory Gil, "finally won the respect they deserve".

This is such an important lesson in solidarity and the power of collective action. This win will snowball and start a domino effect, ending strikes across Alberta with fair contracts for workers. We only have power when we stay strong and stand together.

Understand that those 5 months (Fort Mac) and 2 months (Edmonton) that 4,000 education workers spent in abysmal deep freeze temperatures were a fight for all of our rights as workers to fair pay and respect, as the valuable force which keeps our society running. This was not just a win for those 4,000 deserving workers. It was a win for all of us.

This is how all the labour laws and legislation which makes our working lives bearable have been earned. Health benefits, weekends, maternity leave, wage increases, reasonable working hours, overtime pay, paid holidays, vacation time, workplace standards, the right to refuse unsafe work, protection against discrimination. We owe it all to our steadfast union workers.

Thank a union worker today. In Solidarity.
