What. The. FUCK?
The DOE just cut multiple fields from the “professional degree” list, shrinking loan access for future workers. Nursing, PAs, PT, OT, audiology, public health, social work, & education master’s all got dropped.
And yes, they’re fields dominated by women.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

Falling for anti-migrant racism doesn't protect workers, it entrenches capitalism by making workers more vulnerable & exploitable! Our enemy arrives in limousine, not someone on a boat fleeing colonial devastation.
Being pro-migrant is central to our collective fight against fascism!

Polls show increasing support (over 70 percent) for immigration restriction.These racist policies have been justified under the false austerity logic of "not enough resources". As billionaires & banks & bosses make record profits - largely on the backs of migrant labour!!!

5. While some places (EU, US etc) use active militarization as deterrence, Canada's geographic location allows it to use slow bureaucratic violence as deterrence. Processing times for many PR streams is now 50 years (!).

4. At a provincial level, governments are also restricting immigration. Ontario, literally overnight, cancelled its ONIP skilled trades stream and Quebec has ended its PEQ stream. This leaves thousands of workers in limbo and distress.

3. Bill C-12 being pushed through by Carney is a MASS machinery of deportation. It allows Canada to deport refugees without a hearing and grants mass immigration status-cancellation powers to ministers (internal documents released to CBC suggest targeting people from Punjab, India, and Bangladesh).

2. Now the new budget further slashes refugee & humanitarian spots by over 10,000; cuts international student numbers in half (mostly students from Punjab and India); introduces co-pays that will deny refugees basic healthcare; and reduces temporary residents by 43 percent compared to 2025 numbers.

1. Already, in 2025, the number of international students (who subsidize increasingly privatized post-secondary education) and migrant workers has dropped by 53 percent compared to last year. Refugee claims have also been reduced by about 30 percent compared to 2024.

I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery?
Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!!

The last time I found myself considering radical ecoterrorism as a lifestyle, I was younger and more energetic. Now I'm old, tired, and also? I've run out of reasons why NOT to consider ecoterrorism.
No pipelines. No tankers. No problems.

We have political leaders who - if we let them - will squander our tax dollars on massive subsidies for a dying industry. Why do we elect these gullible nitwits who are so easily fleeced by Big Oil & Gas? #AbPoli #NoPipelines

All of the Hungarian restaurants I've known & loved have closed & I've been deprived of the goodness of fresh lángos for years.
Until today. I spotted a Hungarian food truck in Abbotsford. I spun my car around SO FAST. That lángos was so good.
Now I reek like I've bathed in a vat of #garlic.
