A Prairie alliance of trans advocates and unions should be a national model ⋆ The Breach Right-wing premiers are using the notwithstanding clause to target trans kids, workers, Muslims, and drug users. Saskatchewan shows how a united front could stop them

Right-wing premiers across Canada are using the notwithstanding clause to target trans kids, public sector workers, and people who use drugs with laws that violate their rights.

@desaima.bsky.social writes about how Saskatchewan has shown you can build unlikely alliances to try to stop them.

Ontario, don’t fool yourselves. Canada isn’t immune to Trumpism. Ford is showing it in full colour: consolidating power, punishing dissent, and treating democracy like an inconvenience. This is what creeping authoritarianism looks like before it fully arrives. Wake up, Canada #ONPoli #CDNPoli

At this point, if Ontarians don't start pushing back, ON will be sold off piece by piece under the Ford government. The damage from this level of corruption and short-term greed will linger for decades, and recovering from the destruction being set in motion now will not be easy #ONPoli #ONFightBack

Follow the money.

It’s exhausting to see so little good news coming from the Ford government. So much of it feels like helping friends, cutting corners, and leaving the consequences for Ontarians to deal with. Our future does not look promising if Ontario continues voting Conservative. #ONPoli #FordFailedOntario

Between the news about Ford changing loyalty points laws and todays news about #loblaws selling PC Financial to EQ bank, something definitely smells fishy !

Time to use up all those #PCpoints !

The separatists are turning against Danielle Smith. With @clareblackwood.bsky.social and @ianmmacintyre.bsky.social

Ford’s corruption is everywhere. It baffles me that so many in Ontario still vote Conservative while watching the province be dismantled or sold off. It is disheartening, and I fear the damage his cabinet has done will linger for generations. #ONPoli #Ontario #FordFailedOntario

This government is deeply corrupt. It is hard to find a decision that does not reek of misconduct. Greenbelt giveaways, blue licence plates, misused post-secondary funds, contracts for friends and family. They do not even try to hide it anymore. #ONPoli #FordDestroyedOntario #VoteFordOut

It's honestly alarming how little transparency and accountability we are seeing from this government. The pattern is clear: decisions benefiting insiders, rushed policies, and a refusal to answer to the public. It feels like they believe they OWN Ontario instead of serving it. #OnPoli #VoteFordOut

Conestoga College offering full-time, active support staff voluntary exit incentive packages All full-time, active support staff at Conestoga were given the option to accept a voluntary exit incentive package.

It is worth repeating that the president of Conestoga makes over $600K while colleges face cuts, frozen budgets, and declining student supports.
Meanwhile, the Ford government continues directing public PSE funds toward private projects instead of strengthening our campuses. #OnEd #ONPoli

Things are still looking pretty dire for colleges in Ontario. More cuts are coming, services are stretched, and yet college Presidents are pulling in salaries around half a million dollars. No media coverage whatsoever! Make it make sense. @colindmello.bsky.social

Venue of $10M Skills Development Fund recipient, partners now licensed as an ‘adult entertainment club’ For decades, Zlatko Starkovski has leased the historic Exhibition Place building, which hosted PC fundraisers and the party’s campaign manager’s wedding in recent years

It feels like a never ending blues riff of wasted taxpayer money. Every verse brings another decision that puts well connected players first while everyday Ontarians fall further back. Ontario deserves leadership that serves the people, not the privileged few. #VoteTheConsOut #FirePiccini #OnPoli

What can we do to pressure Piccini's resignation: 1) request an Integrity Commissioner inquiry; 2) ask the Lobbyists Registrar to review lobbying/gift compliance; 3) press police/Crown if there’s evidence of criminality; 4) use public/political pressure and electoral routes. #FirePiccini #OnPoli

Is anyone really surprised by this? I’m not. Piccini is the MPP for a very strong “Freedom Convoy” area in Northumberland County. People who voted him in will still vote for him again next election. I feel like the Ford government has broken Ontario beyond repair, and they did it on purpose #ONPoli

Dynacare is a scam..... Just saying...

This is not a drill, Ontario! The Ford government is stripping away your healthcare to hand it over to their rich friends. They’re selling off our province piece by piece. If we don’t vote them out, there’ll be nothing left to save. Wake up, Ontario. before it’s too late! #Ontario #OnPoli #OnHealth

The Ford government and his scoundrels are pocketing as much money as they can. They’re ransacking this province for everything. Wake up, Ontario, this is only going to get worse. #FordFailedOntario #OnPoli #VoteTheConsOut #Ontario

Colleges keep saying they can’t afford to keep support staff because of “financial” concerns, yet George Brown College is handing out big bucks to hire a Provost. A Provost! How does that make sense? At this point, it feels like a money grab for everyone at the top. Shameful! #OPSEU #ONEd #ONPoli

Ford is literally selling Ontario’s education to his ultra-rich friends.

Education money should stay in education, not in private, well connected companies.

We demand stricter oversight, transparency, and accountability now.
#onpoli #oned #Accountability #WorkersFirst #VoteFordOut #SaveOurColleges

One strike may be over, but workers across Canada are still on the lines fighting for fairness. Stand with them. Support picket lines. Defend public education and good jobs for future generations. Privatization only serves the ultra rich. Stay loud, stay united. #CDNPoli #PublicEducation #ONPoli

Ford government seeking money back from defunct Skills Development Fund recipient with ties to Drake The not-for-profit got more than $3 million in taxpayer funds before it shut down

Reports show the Ontario government is trying to recover funds from a defunct Skills Development Fund project that had ties to Drake. Public money should always support real training, education, and good jobs for working Ontarians. Let’s keep education public and accountable. #DoBetterDrake #ONPoli

Ontario full-time college support staff reach tentative agreement after nearly five weeks of strike action After nearly five weeks on strike, full-time college support staff, represented by OPSEU/SEFPO, have reached a tentative agreement for more than 10,000 workers across all 24 Ontario colleges. “After m...

The strike may be over, but the fight for public education continues. The CEC’s refusal to negotiate sooner has lasting effects on students, staff, and trust in Ontario’s colleges. Let’s make sure this is the moment we stop the privatization of education in Ontario.
#ONPoli #OPSEU #ONStrike

After nearly five weeks on strike, the CEC finally agreed to a deal that could’ve been reached weeks ago.

Their delay cost students vital support, disrupted campuses, and strained communities.

The lesson? When employers stall, public education pays the price.
#CollegeStrike #onpoli #onted #OPSEU

#OPSEU and #CEC reached a tentative agreement this morning after nearly five weeks on strike. The picket lines come down today, FT support staff will return to work on Thursday, October 16.

Now OPSEU will present the deal details to members this afternoon.
#StrikeOver #ONPoli #ONStrike

I’ll ask my Local. Thank you!

Oh, I didn’t know that. Last I heard, if the PT voted yes, they could strike as early as a week after the vote. Thanks for letting me know.

I hope the CEC is ready to bargain and that this isn’t another pointless tentative deal. There’s also pressure building with the part-time strike vote coming up next week on Oct 14th.

OPSEU invited the employer back to the table, and they agreed. Mediation started today. Hopefully, the CEC/employer comes in good faith and doesn’t walk away this time. #OPSEU #ONStrike #CollegesStrike #ONPoli #oned #Strike #VoteFordOut
