Bait to distract from privatizing healthcare and other nonsense.
With a massive legal shakeup, Alberta’s government is paving the way for a separatist referendum.

I have just not been paying to the news because it’s so dire but the one time I check, the orange POS wins a random peace prize? I was already boycotting World Cup. This just solidifies it

Begging people to strip this surveillance gear out of their homes. No Alexa, no Nest thermostat, no Ring cameras, no gd internet linked refrigerators. An actually zone of privacy, for God’s sake.

Only a few days left to take this questionnaire and write in your own answers to let this Liberal government know that you don't actually want them to be a conservative government.
The government of Canada has a questionnaire about it's new budget. Most of the given options are conservative (because this is a conservative government) but there are some that aren't, and you can write in your own responses.

When union offices have to double as food banks for their members, that’s a problem. Pay. Them.
Air Canada flight attendants deserve to be paid for the work they do. Plain and simple.
Flight Attendants want a deal - they want a solution. That solution will only come from Air Canada getting back to the table.

If the Liberals implement binding arbitration, they should make sure the new collective agreement includes everything the workers asked for.
Then these large employers would stop begging the Liberals to override constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.
