"Let’s not call the looming #CanadaPost strike a ‘labour dispute’," writes Rhea Rollmann.
"Let’s call it what it is: a brazen attempt by rich corporate directors to privatize, precaritize and ruin one of our country’s core public services..." #cdnpoli #canlab

Power and politics episode. Title: Netanyahu accuses Carney of 'emboldening Hamas' after D.C. shooting Description: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attacked Canada, France and the U.K. in his response to the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, saying that 'when mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers thank you, you're on the wrong side of justice. Israel's Ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed responds to the countries' joint warning of sanctions over Israel's expansion of the war in Gaza, telling Power & Politics that 'Israel has the capability of conquering Gaza in half a day.
I would like CBC to stop airing Israeli propaganda like this, or they could just be defunded.

The Centre for Future Work has dropped a new 3-min video in our 'Debunkers Academy' series: this one showing that Canada's economy can survive Trump's attacks, and is less dependent on exports than commonly assumed. Check out 'Not So Global': youtube.com/watch?v=aoSa... #canlab /2

Today I joined labour, business & policy leaders at the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit to talk about building a strong economy that protects Canadian jobs & industries.
I was proud to represent N.L. workers & share our vision for a resilient economy that puts workers first.
And tomorrow it could be something different. The sands will always be shifting - the chaos is the point. We must stay united, prepare, and act accordingly when the US makes a move. #CanLab

Took part in the Premier’s Roundtable on Trade today along with a diverse range of stakeholders labour, industry, and community organizations.
All agree that a strong, united, and strategic approach that protects workers and our province is required - no matter what happens.
What’s a tariff, anyway? A primer on what they are and how looming American tariffs can impact our province.
