Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Will Alberta Kill Recall Laws Now That UCP MLAs Are at Risk? | The Tyee Legislation stripping teachers of their Charter rights has brought new challenges to the Smith government.

@djclimenhaga.bsky.social: It sure sounds as if Premier Smith’s UCP will soon rip a page from the book of Depression-era Social Credit premier William Aberhart and repeal the province’s recall legislation as soon as possible, now that it’s being used against UCP MLAs. #abpoli

The following cannot both be true
1. They lost seats because of the shutdown
2. He thinks that people blame Democrats for the shutdown.
If people blamed Democrats, why did Democrats not lose seats? He truly does live in an alternate reality.

I guess this is why the Liberals didn't need to negotiate on the budget with opposition parties.

This wouldn’t work in North America with how easily we give away degrees.

If they don't have a strike fund I imagine they might not have a lot for a long drawn out fight when it comes to defying.

Bye bye smelly snelly #bluejays #worldseries

Is Print the Future of Local News? This Co-Op Thinks So | The Tyee Freshet News, owned by workers, has launched to cover Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities.

Spurred on by local supporters and backed by their union, four laid-off journalists established a workers’ non-profit co-op to create a new community-focused publication. Freshet News launched its website and weekly newsletter last week.

That one I'm not as concerned about. You can still build the bike lanes and just make car lanes narrower which will naturally result in lower speeds as studies show narrower lanes result in people being more cautious. It's a terrible law but there are work arounds.

Left column: Under the RTA, all tenants have "security of tenure", which means that tenants have a right to remain in their rental unit as long as they follow the lease agreement and the RTA. Landlords cannot evict tenants without a legally valid reason, and after a fixed-term lease ends, the tenancy typically continues on a month-to-month basis. Right column: The government would consult on alternative options on lease agreement expiry that could allow landlords to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies. This could add flexibility for some landlords in the approach to leases, potentially unlocking additional rental unit stock.

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover.

Current situation in left-hand column, proposal on the right:

Ford blames Jays playoff ticket gouging on asshole premier who scrapped Ticketmaster law in 2019 QUEEN’S PARK - After resale tickets to the Blue Jays’ World Series immediately skyrocketed into the thousands of dollars, Ontario Premier Doug Ford held a press conference to place the blame solely on...

Ford blames Jays playoff ticket gouging on asshole premier who scrapped Ticketmaster law in 2019

Ford is all talk and no solutions. We should allow Chinese EVs to be sold in Canada and required to be built here (and then unionize them).

There are a lot of beliefs that can be debated within the party, but if values are disregarded, what is the purpose of the NDP? The NDP support of unions is a purity test, should that be gone, or just those that protect marginalized communities? (which is often what purity test means)

I think everyone has a different understanding of what "purity tests" are so unless they define what that term means, there will be conflict. @heathermcpherson.bsky.social what is meant by purity test in this regard? Every party has to have a line somewhere, where should the NDP draw that line?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is trumps plan to impose a dictatorship and just never have the house sit again.

I'm not sure how you can blame the party holding zero power right now for a shutdown, but I know that my republican family don't listen to facts.

If any place deserves heritage status it’s the imperial pub

You're right, but people love his videos it and it's winning votes.

That episode of Dr. Who was a warning, not a guide.

They can if they block Iran's visas.

6 days ago Liberal MP Vince Gasparro smeared and ‘banned’ Kneecap from Canada (forcing them to cancel tour dates) just 3 days after meeting with an Israeli lobby group, using this bogus terrorism charge as reasoning.

Seems a public apology is in order.

If this happens, what are the odds that Infantino and Trump just give Israel and automatic in to the World Cup?

For those asking why, he's trying to impact Argentina's election. thehill.com/business/551...

This plus 68% and they think they’re still the best fit to lead the party?

YouTube video by Avi Lewis Why I’m running for NDP leader

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

I’m running for NDP leader so we can transform a system rigged for the rich—together.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.

Nobody wanted to watch their right wing bullshit so they bought all the companies so there is now nothing else to watch.

Are we just allowed to vandalize anything we consider a cash grab now?
