The Air Canada workers demanded fair compensation and went on strike and the gov tried to shut the strike down through forced arbitration. They defied the order and had a wildcat strike. Despite the media pushing a corporate narrative the public supported them and they won.

Is Mark Carney turning his back on climate action?
Is Mark Carney turning his back on climate action?
Mark Carney has the chance to differentiate Canada from the U.S. and demonstrate his leadership on climate. Instead, at the G7 summit and beyond, he seems to have abandoned his climate principles.

May we fight for the missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and relatives. Anti-Indigeneity is built into racist ableist capitalist colonialism, which is why the system itself must be dismantled.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.
A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Look, I understand the urge to say "I'm autistic and I date and I pay taxes," but that's unintentionally just buying into his argument. We are not the autistic people he is talking about.
Some autistic people CANNOT IN FACT do these things. They also deserve care, protection, and basic dignity.
