Send Canadian oil to Cuba - CCPA The United States is attempting to deliberately trigger a humanitarian crisis in Cuba. Canada must act in concert with regional allies to defy the blockade.

Canada is uniquely positioned to break the siege of Cuba—we should be leading a regional coalition to ship oil and aid to Cuba, and prevent the humanitarian crisis that U.S. regime is attempting to deliberately trigger.

I wrote about it, and the history of the blockade, for @policyalternatives.ca

It's becoming increasingly clear that the Greens need a larger presence in the Legislature. Without the push from the Emily Lowan's Greens, the NDP will continue their centrist pivot under David Eby.

Hootsuite's work with ICE is shameful.

We proudly support Vancouver's Access Without Fear policies.

Solidarity with everyone in Minneapolis and across the U.S. pushing back against xenophobia and fascism.

Justice for Myles Gray

I regret B.C.’s decision to end its decriminalization pilot and am disappointed the province has not released an independent evaluation. When governments change course on life-and-death issues, Canadians deserve to see the evidence. See more 👇

Remember when our mayor flew to DC to watch Trump accept the FIFA peace prize?

Statistics Canada to cut 850 jobs in 'dark time' for public service, union says Federal statistics agency entered its workforce adjustment period Monday, sending notices to thousands of employees.

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.

Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.

Tonight at 7pm!

$10/day daycare is both a social program and economic stimulus in the long-term. Austerity governments cut costs today to lose the future.

Former NDP cabinet ministers say B.C. has ‘stalled’ on $10-a-day child-care plan | CBC News Former NDP MLA and cabinet minister Katrina Chen, who helped implement B.C.’s $10-a-day child-care plan, is one of 23 signatories of a letter to Premier David Eby alleging his government is failing to...

Early childhood programs have massive impacts on health and development. A universal program gives young children an advantage that can carry through the rest of their lives. It also supports women, who often bare the costs in career setbacks when they cannot afford $1,200/mo for childcare.

Uprising Survival Guide

This short guide covers street safety and other important factors to consider in the midst of the resistance to ICE and Donald Trump's attempt to impose fascism via military occupation.

SWAN continues to do great and valuable work.

Down with fascism!

"We stand with Ukraine, we stand with Crimea, our closest partnership is with Russia, and we'll work with everybody to make sure we move forward together."

See how stupid this sounds?

We knew Carney, the banker, was going to be a bad Prime Minister. He's more Harper than Trudeau. But he seemed sincere in his rhetoric in the election about sovereignty. Somehow elbows up became lying down real fast after the election.

This is so embarrassing. This should be the easiest test of the 'rules based international order' for #Carney. Heck, Denmark is even a formal ally. It should be straightforward to say that Canada is opposed to the unilateral seizure of Greenland. And yet...

I'm a literal drug expert and when I try to post educational videos they get taken down half the time by social media platforms, but the environment-destroying robot can just say whatever to children.

Cool system we've got here. Maybe it should change

More organizations should follow. An attack on the Charter rights of one group, is an attack on all of our rights.

Postal workers have a plan for how to use their infrastructure and know how to provide new and necessary public services. But the Liberals and management continue to want to do nothing but squeeze workers.

From @policyalternatives.ca, Canada Post is actually quite cost effective. It remains a mystery why @mark-carney.bsky.social is so keen on dismantling state capacity. Why should Canada reduce democratic control of the economy and yield more and more to American firms like Amazon?
