Despite public claims, the govt has taken no action to close these loopholes or restrict U.S.–bound weapons that ultimately fuel Israel’s assault on Gaza.

The report makes clear that Canada is violating its international obligations and remains a critical link in the U.S.–Israel weapons pipeline.

Israel’s assault and full occupation of Gaza continue, backed by Canadian policy and weapons. A new report reveals that Canada is still enabling the flow of military goods to Israel through a major loophole in its export laws.

We don’t have time for a budget that enables MORE hoarding by those in tall glass towers.

We need to tax that money back down to Earth where it can be put to work taking care of people – and the planet.

Blaming immigrants will not only do nothing to solve the affordability crisis, it will make it WORSE.

Because while everyone is pointing fingers at their neighbours, the super rich will continue laughing all the way to the bank

THIS is the crisis👇

We are in a dangerous situation where inequality between the richest & the rest has Canada hurtling towards authoritarianism.

Inequality fuels crime, addiction, poor mental/physical health outcomes and yes, even the climate crisis.

@mark-carney.bsky.social MUST address this. #TaxTheRich

This austerity agenda will throw gasoline on the "cumulative growth positive reinforcing feedback loop" – the systems principle that explains WHY "the rich get richer."

Cutting public services & giving incentives to the rich is the LAST thing we should be doing. LAST. www.thwink.org/sustain/glos...

Now, over the course of the pandemic, corporations raised their prices to boost their profit margins, fuelling:

📈 cost of living crisis
📈 inflation
📈 inequality

#Budget2025 looks like the austerity agenda @c4tf.bsky.social warned can result from exactly this👇

Harper expanded the TFW program beyond agriculture/nursing, fiddled with caps + extended permits.

Hiring a migrant worker afraid to advocate for better wages/conditions for fear of being kicked out = wages & conditions decline for everyone.

It's not necessarily the numbers. IT'S THE EXPLOITATION.
November 18, 2025 at 3:18 AM
Harper Conservatives are "letting employers keep their TFWs for longer and blocking paths to citizenship that could eliminate the underclass of exploitable guest workers that has been distorting the Canadian labour market. It’s shameful.”
