β€˜It is up to us’: Alberta Federation of Labour to prepare for general strike β€˜if necessary’ in response to Bill 2 The AFL said it will begin the process of a general strike in response to the government’s swift passing of Bill 2 using the notwithstanding clause.

"We are committing to work with any and all of our fellow Albertans who agree with us that our rights, our democracy and our Canadian way of life will not be safe until we make Danielle Smith a radio host again, not a Premier". #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Subaru pulls Outback production out of US, to be built in S. Korea.

Canada buys $90B of $144B of U.S. auto exports.

Trade war means war.

Time for Canadians to boycott U.S. made cars and buy Canadian or Japan, South Korea, China, UK, France, German brands.

A hacker-built database gathered private and damaging information about Italy’s political elite to try to control them.

The scandal underscores a new reality: that in the digital era, privacy is a relic.

I continue to sincerely want the term β€œKavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

A Facebook post by Gil McGowan, President of the Alberta Federation of Labour, dated 2025/Oct/24. It reads, 
BREAKING: Alberta unions warn Premier Danielle Smith: unprecedented use of the Notwithstanding Clause against workers will result in an unprecedented response from unions in defence of worker rights.

At an emergency meeting held today at 5:00pm (MT), the Common Front, an umbrella group for all Alberta unions, leaders unanimously endorsed the following message to Premier Danielle Smith.

Dear Premier Smith,

On behalf of the more than 350,000 working Albertans who we represent, we urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to rule out the use of the Notwithstanding Clause as part of your government’s approach to the teachers’ strike. Invoking the clause would be unprecedented in the history of Canadian labour relations. It would also escalate the situation from a confrontation between your government and the teachers to a confrontation between you and the entire Canadian labour movement. If governments start using the Notwithstanding Clause as a tool in their dealings with workers and unions, it will make a mockery of the constitutionally protected right to strike. Without a robust and reliable right to strike, worker bargaining power will be eroded, and with it, the wages and living standards of all Canadian workers. If you take this unprecedented approach, we will have no choice but to mobilize an unprecedented response. There are many avenues your government could pursue to negotiate with public sector unions that do not involve invoking the Notwithstanding Clause. We urge you to choose them.

Signed by all the unions of the Alberta Federation of Labour and the Alberta Common Front
