We can’t let this anti-worker authoritarianism slide, which is why I tabled my Bill C-247 to repeal Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code and uphold the right to strike.

We need your solidarity and support to pass this bill. Call or email your MP and tell them to vote YES to Bill C-247.

The Liberals’ budget bill hides a major threat to Canada’s democratic checks and balances. It gives ministers sweeping power to override Parliament by waiving laws for select individuals and corporations. Such extraordinary measures shouldn't be buried in a 600‑page omnibus bill.

I have been known to change my email signature to β€œgrumpy old woman” when tired of the office children who can’t handle cleaning up after themselves.

I looked for the picture of AS on the streets of London but couldn’t find it. Did he scrub it?

Historian of Canadian immigration here, absolutely DYING at the idea of some large "Judeo-Christian" (wtf) solidarity animating the colonization and settlement of Canadian.

And then the idea that the process "worked so well...!"

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in the Epstein files and it is incumbent on Canadians to demand an investigation into Canadians that did β€˜business’ with Epstein. It is awful, it is uncomfortable, and it requires our courage to root out corruption.

Someone on facebook was telling me that insurance wouldn’t be too expensive. It was only $90/mo. He was talking about the provincial premiums not β€œreal” insurance. Hope it isn’t too much of a shock.

READ NOW: 8,000 Stories of Alberta's Health Care Crisis - CUPE Alberta Over 8,000 Albertans have shared the reality of our collapsing system. These unfiltered stories are proof we need immediate action; more beds, more staff, and sustainable funding for universal public health care.

Take a read through these stories.

The Section of Emergency Medicine sent examples of real deaths and near misses to Minister Jones and the Premier 6 weeks ago, and so far they have not acknowledged the cases or even set up a time to meet with us.

Hey Camrose Area, let's have an Urgent Conversation about Health Care.
This isn't about politics or ideology... its about objective facts...
Is HC going in the right direction? What can we all do about it?

Please help spread the word:
