Hope you will cover the liberal governments complicity in the genocide carried out by Israel

“The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation”

sound like trump

Workers deserve better than a government that denies their right to fight for fair treatment.

The federal government has no business interfering in the labour dispute between Air Canada and workers.

This terrible decision by the Liberals undermines negotiations and hurts labour rights.

Once again the Liberal govt violates workers’ right to free collective bargaining. Once again, it interferes on behalf of management. Once again, it harms workers trying to get better working conditions - in this case mostly women forced to work for free.
Shameful.
NDP stands w/ Flight Attendants!

BREAKING: Jobs minister orders Air Canada flight attendants back to work Air Canada flight attendants have officially begun their strike after failing to reach a deal with the airline, the Canadian Union of Public Employees announced Saturday morning.

Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu has ordered binding arbitration in the Air Canada flight attendant strike.

Why isn’t the Canadian government acting in line with what Canadians actually think about Palestine?

A new poll from Angus Reid shows 52% of Canadians now say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

Will this finally push the government to end Canada's complicity?

A Canadian company, GardaWorld, is staffing Trump's "Alligator Alcatraz" -- and Carney's government awarded it MILLIONS in contracts.

They also told me they won't rule out working with the company in the future.

Here's what I dug up in my first-ever column for @thetyee.ca:

Majority of Canadians want Canada to uphold its arms embargo on Israel A large majority of Canadians want Canada to uphold its arms embargo on Israel — except Conservatives.

Majority of Canadians want Canada to uphold its arms embargo on Israel

“A large majority of Canadians oppose Canada selling lethal military equipment to Israel — except Conservatives.”

A parliamentary report has been leaked, and it confirms that Canada has been exporting military goods to Israel, including in 2024.

I reached out to Minister Anand’s office about this newly public report.

They said it's accurate -- but it doesn't contradict their statements.

How? Let's discuss:

Literally the day after I posted this, here’s Anita Anand:

New Democrats urge firm Canadian position after missing US trade deal deadline Canada’s NDP Leader Don Davies issued the following statement:

As the Liberals miss the Aug. 1 US trade deal deadline, Trump’s tariffs continue to cost Canadians jobs and hurt our economy. The NDP believes we must stand strong, protect workers, invest in Canada, and defend our sovereignty.

See my full statement here:

Canada’s foreign affairs minister has hit back at a bombshell report on Canadian arms shipments to Israel, calling it “flawed.”

But is it?

I reached out to the authors, and it seems like Minister Anand might be the one with some flawed information…

A new bombshell report just dropped that exposes hundreds of Canadian arms shipments to Israel.

I reached out to the government about this...and their response suggested either further obfuscation or that they're uninformed about weapons exports during a genocide.

Here's what happened:

Canada: "We are prepared to issue as many empty statements as necessary to stop this genocide" OTTAWA – Two months after issuing one statement promising “concrete actions” if Israel did not stop intentionally starving Palestinians in Gaza, Canada has joined with 24 other nations to issue a new ...

Canada: “We are prepared to issue as many empty statements as necessary to stop this genocide”

"Bill C-5 centralizes power in Ottawa, lets cabinet override environmental laws and ignores treaty and inherent rights. That is not modernization—it is colonization in 2025," says Kehewin Cree Nation Chief Vernon Watchmaker as PM Carney holds First Nations summit on Bill C-5.

No deal on tariffs
Withdraws digital services tax
Massive spending on defence
Massive public sector cuts and layoffs
Cuts funding to CBC and VIA Rail

Not sure this was the mandate voters thought they were giving Mark Carney

Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corporations Nearly all government departments and federally-funded organizations are expected to propose "savings" of up to 15 per cent of their spending in the next three years.

During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year.

Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail Federally funded institutions and Crown corporations like the CBC and Via Rail are expected to propose their own cuts under the Liberal government's sweeping efforts to find $25 billion in

#Breaking: Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corps to propose their own spending cuts

For just one second, take off your partisan blinders and ask yourself: how would you be reacting if Poilievre promised a big boost to the CBC before the election and then instead made big cuts after the election?

>cancel the digital sales tax
>35% tariff anyways

CBC News projects the Carney government’s “ambitious” cuts could mean up to $30 billion cut from federal programs

Unions concerned by scale of Carney government’s proposed spending cuts Public sector union leaders met with government officials on Tuesday as they raised concerns that the Liberal administration's new plan to reduce internal spending is moving too fast and could

U.S. President Donald Trump has a message for the international rules-based order: “nah, I’m good.”

His administration just slapped Francesca Albanese with sanctions for doing her job as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories.

Let’s talk about it:

NDP Socialist Caucus Nominates Montreal Author and Activist Yves Engler for NDP Leader - NDP Socialist Caucus The NDP Socialist Caucus is a group of left-wing members of the NDP who believe it should turn to the Left and become more democratic and participatory.

Now this is an interesting development...

Another amazing day at Calgary Stampede! Lots of friends, lots of great conversations, and lots of fun! Yahoo!

The ABNDP pancake breakfast was delicious and, as always, the Equal Voice Stampede party was one of the Stampede highlights.

Canada Day just happened.

But as folks celebrated near Parliament, a man was just elected to it who trivialized residential schools.

Bill C-5 just became law, despite vocal opposition from Indigenous leaders.

So I’m THRILLED @pampalmater.com is on the show this week!

Here's a sneak peek:
