In a historic move, 3,800 meatpacking workers at the largest beef producer in the world are striking the company’s biggest US plant. It’s the first major US packing strike in nearly 40 years. Here’s Day 1 on the picket line:

Today, Liberals, Conservatives, & the Bloc voted to kill #C233. 🚫⚖️ They chose to keep a massive loophole open that exempts 50% of Canada’s arms exports from human rights oversight. The Carney Liberals talk about values, but their actions say otherwise. #cdnpoli #HumanRights

Breaking: @MarkJCarney's government just voted against Bill C-233, which would have stopped the flow of weapons to Israel via the United States loophole. Canada has chosen to protect those profiting from genocide. We will not forget how MPs voted in this urgent moment.

@brbeckett I’m so sorry Ben, that really sucks 😢

I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today

The NDP's statement on Iran correctly hammers Carney for being a Trump bootlicker

We condemn @MarkJCarney's unequivocal support for illegal US-Israeli strikes on Iran, sabotaging negotiations in favour of regime change. A "pre-emptive" strike without an imminent threat is an act of aggression, a violation of the UN Charter, and a major threat to security.

No one should be under any illusions here. Canada’s government is supporting, apparently without reservation, an illegal war of aggression initiated by Donald Trump, the neocons in his administration, and Israel. That’s it.

Trump’s attack on Iran violates UN rules Canada has agreed to uphold. It contradicts numerous values PM Carney claimed he supported in Davos. Endorsing illegality, violence, & destruction over dialogue and peaceful resolution is not what Canadians were promised, or support.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

If they [the union officials] had a union shop or recognition on a scale that would enable them to control the employees in the sense of doing a better job, they would be glad to cooperate.” 6/end

Here’s the money quote: “The main point is that if the Union is to do a good job, it needs a wider coverage so that the workers might be held responsible to the Union. Through this our Union might do a better job of convincing the workers of the need for a longer work day. 5/
