For those upset that the Capital Pride parade was shut down ask the right questions: why did Cap Pride cancel it rather than speak to community groups openly and in good faith?
Why were VAST swaths of queer community groups today ignored in their calls for transparency & Palestinian solidarity?

In a hearing that lasted until the early hours this morning, the CIRB declined filing for contempt of court in the Federal Court against CUPE workers due to their wildcat strike.

The Liberal govt’s continued invocation of s.107 of the Canada Labour Code violates s2(d) of the Charter. Workers have the right to withhold their labour so employers will bargain in good faith.

The rise of Section 107
The recent unprecedented use of the Labour Code provision to end disputes has prompted legal challenges and concerns about the power it grants the federal labour minister

Holy shit, Liberals just flipped Terrebonne when the final poll reported.
Winning by a difference of 35 votes, the Liberals are now just three seats away from a majority.

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."
![Section 3(g) of the Gender Identity Order is admittedly slightly vaguer than Section 4 of
the Healthcare Order in that it only proscribes the use of "[fJederal [grant] funds [to] promote
gender_ idcology."
The Gender Identity Order, appears, however, to deny the existence of
transgender persons altogether. See Gender Identity Order $ 1 (describing the purpose of the order
as "defend[ing] women's rights and protect[ing] freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate
language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically

male"); id. $ 2 ("It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.
These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.")
The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy
resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist. Thus, Section
3(g) of the Gender Identity Order can only be read as doing exactly what Section-4 of the
Healthcare Order does
cease funding institutions, including medical institutions, that provide
gender affirming medical care to patients under the age of nineteen.
Thus, as with Section 4 of
Healthcare Order, Kadel mandates a similar finding of discrimination as to Section 3(g) of the
Gender Identity Order.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreifbrt37exq6fjaxqrit6kxtuoqkkl47uxsuoylsryumtv6bbfx7zy@jpeg)

“Defending” women while banning abortion, limiting recourse for pregnancy discrimination, engaging in a campaign to deport families, seeking to revoke birthright citizenship. Don’t be deputized to enact their cruelty.
