We need a world that values humanity not human production, values care work as high skilled and essential, and doesn’t use racism and sexism to coerce it out of unwilling workers.

This is not a feel ok as long as you try your best scenario.

@ElectionsCan_E Maybe they shouldn’t have gone back on the “last election under First Past the Post” then

The ballot for the federal by-election in Toronto–St. Paul’s looks different from ones you may have seen in the past due to a higher than usual number of candidates. (1/2)

Fantastic tactic (direct action) about the mess of First Past the Post by @LongestBallot

Good morning! I will be addressing this more formally at a later date, but I just wanted to share amidst rumours of an early election that I will be running as an Independent Member in Hamilton Centre. To donate or volunteer, visit: hamiltoncentre.ca

#LATEST: Health officials say at least 210 dead Palestinians, including children, were brought to local hospitals following attacks in the Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah areas on Saturday. toronto.citynews.ca/2024/06/08/isr…

@VirginPlusCare no cell service or internet for hours in Toronto. Just started working again, called Virgin and instead of an update got told no issues in Canada and cell payments up to date. When said “ok well I’m reporting a problem” tech said “no issue, you called me” ??

@TTCnotices what is with the delay in reporting. Yonge line 1 held due to emergency alarm at Wellesley

There are 18 Palestinian children in Israeli prisons without criminal charges. I condemn kidnapping children regardless of who does it. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Gigi Hadid has just issued this statement. Her sister Bella, who has been a very vocal advocate for the Palestinian people in the past, has not issued a statement yet. Gigi and Bella’s father is Palestinian.

@GregEqEd @CanadianFSWC And remedial grade 10 history class!

@CanadianFSWC Every single politician who heard "World War 2 veteran ... who fought against the Russians" and then stood up and applauded is in need of issuing some sort of apology, it would seem. Unless somehow that's acceptable, and all that's needed for this situation is a scapegoat.

As the spiraling fallout caused by a former Nazi Waffen-SS unit member being invited to and celebrated on the floor of the House of Commons continues to mount, we are calling for Anthony Rota to resign from his role as Speaker of the House of Commons. fswc.ca/news/fswc-call…

@marusiagryba @_scottreid Oooof this is pretty cringe bud. He served in the SS…. There isn’t an “ok reason” to be a Nazi.

@_scottreid Volodymyr Hunka’s unit was cleared of any war crimes by the Canadian commission. Hunks was a young boy who joined to fight the Soviets. That is all he ever did

With Poilievre and Ministers now calling for Rota's departure, there is no doubt how this ends. The Speaker should not extend this humiliation by forcing House Leaders to force him to go. He should pre-empt the noon meeting and just resign on his own accord. #cdnpoli

@CityNewsKIT Disgusting so much for “but we swear this is to protect children” nonsense, it’s be straight or die garbage, throwing rocks at babies is just saying the quiet part out loud. Little ones you didn’t deserve this, us older queers have got your back

Regional police are investigating after a Pride flag was burned and trampled, and rocks were thrown at 2SLGBTQ+ students at a Kitchener high school. kitchener.citynews.ca/2023/09/22/pri…

credit to all journalists who covered the Greenbelt scandal — and especially to my colleagues @ColinDMello and @isaaccallan. Relentless reporting and went down many avenues to get original reporting including mandate letters. true public service journalism.

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford is losing another high profile cabinet minister. Monte McNaughton is leaving provincial politics at the height of the Greenbelt scandal. #onpoli

Premier Doug Ford claims he’s never taken a penny from anyone. The integrity commissioner disputes that. Tickets were sold by the Ontario PC fund chair to developers, which then went to the premier’s son-in-law for the stag. #Onpoli

In the Fordnation diocese, you blow straight past penance going from confession to forgiveness. But will voters agree? At what point do they wonder about his sincerity? Does there come a time when Ontario says, 'I've heard it too often. Sorry, you're not sorry.' #onpoli

Finally, there's the question of 'Sorry'. Ford is good at apologizing. All things considered, he did it well today. Acknowledged he made a promise, that he broke his promise and that it was all his fault. But he's also very quick to assert that he deserves absolution. #onpoli

Remember, the ownership didn't change - its classification did. Mths ago the land was worth little because it was in the Greenbelt. Then, it was worth billions because the government took it out of the Greenbelt. Now, it's worth little again. There will be lawsuits #onpoli

Translation: Doug walking his f-up back is good, but the public is now left holding the bag. We will end paying developers to clean up his mess. Delightful. He needs to resign. Now

Let me see if I get this straight: Doug Ford's wealthy #GreenbeltGrab friends get $8.3 BILLION and the rest of Ontario gets boiled weiners? No wonder #FraudFest is trending.
