Protesters pleaded "be gentle, she's disabled."
One agent sneered: "She'll be disabled now."
State violence, cruelty, and silencing dissent.

Siebe, who uses a wheelchair, was filming in a bike lane when an agent body-checked her face-first into the pavement.

This movie was hilariously bad, but if I were Julianne amoore, I'd have done it just for that awesome costume and makeup :)

*clears throat*

I want my tax dollars to fund cost of living indexed teacher pay, appropriate student to teacher ratios, new schools with funded staff & covid shots for educators & staff.

Much of the $ can be found in Smith’s sideshow pandering to groups she needs to maintain leadership.

Public Post Office Under Attack Today, the Minister responsible for Canada Post, Joël Lightbound, announced massive changes to the Government’s mandate for Canada Post and huge service cutbacks to the public. This announcement was a...

“The Government has completely rejected the need to diversify revenue streams and expand services, accepting instead Canada Post’s requests for cuts.”

Paying a fascist for his expertise *is* endorsing said fascist.

Plus, if he's giving Carney what he wants, then he's selling out Trump, which makes him an unreliable narrator. Or he's grifting us and playing us for Trump, which is also no bueno.

Remember everyone: you should always be working "to rule", not working free overtime or beyond the outlines of your contract.

AND you have (in Canada) a constitutional (Charter) right to strike.
If the government forces you back to work, they've infringed on your rights.

The UCP Government of Alberta does not want to pay unionized employees (including corrections officers, occupational health & safety, and wildfire fighters) living wages that reflect the current cost of living in Alberta.

So basically they won't then.

Any elected official who doesn't look like a bold fighter against Trumpism/fascism in this era is in trouble, electorally.

And anyone who acts like there's still value in touting bipartisanship, when the opposition is doing *waves around* THIS looks like a fool.

Canada learned nothing from SARS and we're continuing that grand tradition by learning nothing from COVID.

Each one of these Americans KNOW they are asking Canadians to trade their own personal safety in order to give THEM our money. Like your neighbour inviting you over to their fire hazard of a crack den so they can ask for a loan but somehow even worse. Grotesque behaviour, #America #ElbowsUp #cdnpoli

AISH folks got a letter stating they *have* to apply. They *have* to pay the dr fee. They *will not* reimburse it (I called for my stepson; they said no).

My stepson on AISH who didn't understand any of this had to pay $150 to not get extra money.

His specialist wasted 45 minutes doing this form.

“Out of 196,901 entries, 118,574 duplicates and 932 blank entries were removed”

More than half of the total results were duplicates. This survey isn’t worth the 0’s and 1’s it’s made of.

Change is good, but not a change to privatization. We need a govt dedicated to continuing Canada Post.

Climate Change Will Bankrupt the Country Climate-fueled disasters cost America almost a trillion dollars over the last year, far more than economists predicted.

turns out climate change will cost dramatically more than economists predicted, and the cost of addressing it is actually negative. oops! prospect.org/environment/...

From the Toronto Star
This is the ugly that Canada sees on the surface.
They don’t see the total destruction of Public HC, Ed. They aren’t living the extremist ideology, the corruption, and the loss of rights, as the UCP reaps the benefits of Corp welfare.

The UCP make AB a living hell.

YouTube video by The Breach Forget the trade war. Mark Carney’s first 100 days have been a rapid-fire class war

Carney said he’d stand up to Trump—instead he’s using the President as an excuse for a rapid-fire right-wing agenda.

He’s unleashed a pro-corporate, Trump-friendly blitz, embracing Big Oil and militarism, social cuts, and crackdowns on refugees.

Our recap of his first 100 days:

Starbucks loves to say “we’ll take care of you” until it’s time to actually take care of workers.

No pay during ICE raid protests. No pay during wildfires. No excuses! If you close the store, you owe your workers the wages they would have earned. Plain and simple.

A bunch of Unbound authors DID reach out in March to the Society of Authors when Unbound went into administration.

SoA said they didn’t help non-members—then after those authors paid to join said, “oh we can’t help with Unbound.”

So they are not in fact here to help, they just want attention

Alberta government to start charging residents for COVID-19 shots this fall EDMONTON - Alberta's government announced Friday residents who are not immunocompromised or on social programs will soon have to pay to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Alberta's government is looking to cover costs and reduce waste. But U of C health law professor Lorian Hardcastle says she expects hospitalizations to increase, and even a few prevented ICU stays could have paid for "a lot of vaccines." From @jack-farrell.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/2c3n8r39

The government has declined an interview request with preventative health Min. LaGrange. Since this story was published, her office acknowledged receipt of CP's questions, but no responses yet, including about the possibility of health care workers having to pay for their own COVID shot.

I can’t understand, after the last 30 years of it happening EVERY TIME, how people think AI is going to stay free

Once everyone’s reliant, it’ll cost a fortune we just “have” to pay

Its energy needs will cost us the only world we have

All so someone doesn’t have to write their own Reddit shitpost

We should care about little girls for their own sake, not for the political convenience of their claims.

Dorfy!! I remember her arrival :)

How embarrassing for New Zealand. This was such a great moment in democracy. What a shame.
