I wish it made sense but this company, about which the government allegedly had enough concern to send an audit to the OPP two weeks ago, told me it still got $240,000 in taxpayer cash just last month. #ONpoli

I’m glad the US has a left leaning publication that is getting good circulation, but I just can’t with their inflamitory click-bait style.

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.

Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.

Big news! Ricochet has become just the fourth English-language media outlet in Canada to earn para-charitable RJO status!

This makes us a qualified donee in tax parlance, and means all donations are fully tax deductible — just like donations to charities.

This is what's at stake.

The UCP is not only dodging its responsibility to explain how Bill 9 is in any way proportionate or justifiable in a free and democratic society.

They are putting children at far greater risk of suicide.

AUPE has served 72-hour strike notice for its 16,000 member bargaining unit that includes Licensed Practical Nurses, Health Care Aides and other workers.

Full details:

www.aupe.org/news/news-an...

#Alberta #abpoli #ableg #nurses
AHS Nursing Care: We have served strike notice AUPE served strike notice at 7:55 a.m. this morning, Wednesday, November 19. Mediation was not successful. We did not reach a tentative agreement nor receive recommendations from our mediator. The employer’s offer is simply not good enough, especially when it comes to our wages. Your team’s wage proposal would make Alberta the best province in Canada to be a Licensed Practical Nurse and Health Care Aide. And not just in 2025, but through to 2027 as well, just like Registered Nurses. This would help close the gap that has grown between RNs and LPNs, which is increasingly important when you consider our expanding scope of practice.

Once again, they can't even come up with plausible lies.
The doors to the Chamber are sealed during a vote. Scheer and Reid couldn't just walk in mid-vote and then claim that they couldn't use their apps. That defies credulity.
www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
But Scheer's chief said he always intended to vote remotely because he was at a meeting of the subcommittee on international human rights about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. That meeting ended at 6 p.m. — before the 6:45 p.m. scheduled vote — but Scheer was tied up with other matters in the meantime, the chief said. Scheer only raced into the Commons to cast his vote after the technology failed, she said.
