Sadly this didn't age well. Trump/ Musk destroyed the Department of Labour and are working on OHSA. They've also ripped up all federal workers CBA'S. He is as anti-union and anti-worker as it gets.

Sadly this didn't age well. Trump/ Musk destroyed the Department of Labour and are working on OHSA. They've also ripped up all federal workers CBA'S. He is as anti-union and anti-worker as it gets.
And to think several union leaders and members voted for him. His entire history has been anti-union...the only reason you vote for him is if you haven't learned from the very well documented past.
Trump is trying to push more government agencies to end collective bargaining agreements with federal worker unions. Why? Organized labor is standing up to Trump's authoritarian power grab. Tyrants will do anything to crush dissent. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...
On day one of Unifor’s Constitutional Convention, @lanapayne.bsky.social had a strong message for the Canadian government when it comes to giving into U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war demands — you’ll have to go through Unifor first. #CC2025 #canlab
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Kamala Harris was right. But she’s a woman. She’s Black. We can’t have that!! Now look where we’re at.
🎯 We've proven time and again we're not pushovers.
Levy: He knows it won’t go over well that he signed the largest transfer of wealth from working-class people to billionaires in history. He knows it’s not popular that he stripped collective bargaining rights from over a million workers. So rather than fight fairly, he’s trying to rig the maps.
Too bad they closed down all the "rural" donation centers almost 10 years ago.
Tell us again how Canada is the problem again 🤡 Keep your guns on your side of the border a$$hole.
Over three days earlier this month, CBSA officers at southern #Ontario ports of entry seized 12 firearms, 18 magazines and 254 rounds of ammunition from #U.S. #residents entering #Canada. www.ctvnews.ca/london/artic...

To put it in the context of safety...that would require them to address the root cause, and they're not competent enough and don't care enough to do that.
Epic! But, everyone should be doing that.
Ditto! ♥️ #Dump
So PP is filing a complaint with Elections Canada over the Longest Form Candidates eligibility. They're protesting a terrible electoral system, not PP himself. He wants them made in eligible. My proposal is Proportional Representation & you must live in the district you are running in.

Read the petition. It isn’t to protect religion (🇨🇦 protects religions) it’s about destroying Canadian’s rights, like what’s happening in 🇺🇸 Protect parent’s rights = book bans and anti-LGBTQ. Conscience right of doctors = anti-vaccine, anti-abortion/women’s rights. www.protectchristianscanada.com
There are 100's of religions in this world, why do so-called "Christians" want special privileges to "protect" everyone who doesn't want it! If you are determined to hate, stick to your own household...the rest of us aren't interested! It's crap like this that is destroying countries.
We as a Nation seem to have an extremely short memory. That goes double for Cons, they seem to always prop up the worst assholes in Canadian Memory, Harper, MacDonald and the like. Lol.
Who would you choose? #cdnpoli
Twenty years ago today, on July 20th 2005, Canada officially legalized same-sex marriage. Today we gathered and marched in Milton to celebrate love, pride, diversity and inclusion. 🇨🇦❤️💪🏽🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

For those of you not familiar with the International Democracy Union ⭐️ - look it up idu.org Stephen Harper (Former Canadian Prime Minister) is the Chairman. The Heritage Foundation is involved. World is full of Authoritarian Far Right Governments.
Great job Alberta. You are now worse than the entire US in something. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Global Affairs Canada said it's aware of roughly 55 Canadians in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, though it said that the numbers can fluctuate. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Kudos Mark Carney 🇨🇦 Canada issues new 5 year Canadian bonds $3.5 billion, but sold the bonds in US dollars. The bonds were 4 times oversubscribed, so there appears to be no lack of confidence in the Canadian economy. #cdnpoli
www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... of the estimated 185,000 people detained between Oct 1/24, & May 31/25, just 1/3 have a criminal conviction; however, 75% of that group have convictions for non-serious crimes, such as traffic offences. Just eight% of the people were convicted of a serious crime

To me it sounds like Houston is threatening funding for Municipalities if he does not get his way. Thoughts? #NovaScotia www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Rebel News is the Canadian version of Fox News, no facts and no value.
This is exactly what happened in Nova Scotia in 2020. Canada's worse mass murder in history was perpetrated by a person disguised as a police officer right down to vehicle and decals.

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯
They're one to talk. Everything they do is illegal and unprovoked.
Just once I'd like a reporter to come back at PP with that. Just who is wasting taxpayers money...maybe look in the mirror.
It's been over 20 years since this clip from Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' and members of Congress still aren't reading bills before voting for them.
Toxic pesticide levels found in tampons 40 times higher than legal limit for water
Just in case everyone with a brain doesn't know this yet...Canada is considering nothing. Trump is lying again. He can go take a flying f%ck for all we care.
Gotta love Bono in this new interview praising Canada for rejecting Poilievre the populist and electing the thoughtful, intelligent & competent Carney. “51 reasons to love Canada,” indeed. Poilievre is reviled and Carney is revered inside & outside of this great country. 🇨🇦 (Part 2 in thread below)
The right wing is calling Scott Pelley a "fraud," a "liar," and "angry and unhinged" because of his Wake Forest speech. A Fox "News" host is calling for his arrest. Which proves his point. Here's the transcript for those like me who prefer to read. commencement.news.wfu.edu/2020s/c2025/...
So they were willing to compromise their "integrity" for clicks and likes. They sound like real upstanding individuals.
Oh FUCK this. We're not idiots. We know, from watching our neighbours to the south, exactly how this goes.
🤣🤣🤣
Do as I say, not as I do. I love that she pushing this agenda and didn't even know what the 4th Commandment was.
Absolutely! I've been saying this for years, and I believe older women in particular like me, have developed a keen sense for spotting these kinds of tactics b/c we have seen it time and time again. We can now see right through them, which is exactly why so many women chose not to vote for him.
❤️
Oh, the hypocrisy! The fact she had to look up the 4th Commandment all while demanding it be hung in classrooms, says everything. Do as I say, not as I do.
The bad is wasting over $10 million taxpayer dollars. Doubling up on money from the PM, forcing a needless by-election, and squatting in a taxpayer funded home he's not entitled too!
Might as well just trash all PFA regulations while you're at it!
I've been on several and never gotten sick. Basic hygiene and doing things to keep yourself safe anywhere apply there as well.
Flying to Singapore and out of Japan. I've been doing cruising for most of my world travels so far, but interior Europe is up next. To see Switzerland someday is a must.
I'm doing direct out of Halifax to eastern Europe or the UK and when flying to Asia, connecting through YVR. No US for me. Zurich will be awesome. Switzerland is expensive but looks amazing!
Same here, I'm only looking at destinations I can fly to and/ or connect to via Canadian airports.
I'm going nowhere near the US (flying into or over) for the next 5 years. Bridges have been burnt, and it'll take more than getting rid of the 🍊 turd to resurrect them.
He is completely clueless about what he is doing.
@governorwalz.mn.gov
Corporate profiteering has been the leading cause of the escalating cost of living and inflation over the past 40 years, but most significantly over the past 5. They used covid as an excuse to justify it and rage farming right wing nuts blamed presiding governments to enrage electors with misinfo.
Trump telling Walmart to "Eat the Tarriffs" is rich. Everyone knew the tariffs were gonna be passed onto the consumer, it's a tale as old as time. The bigger issue for him, is they said they were gonna do it aloud & he can't hide it. He already bullied Amazon into hiding the truth...who's next?
#RobertDeNiro, No stranger to standing up to #USadministration, used his voice to stand up for #Democracy
Homegrown terrorism. But I'm sure the Republicans will thoughts and prayers it under the rug.
No PP is calling for a by-election in Terrabone instead...even though the Con's have no dog in the race and Elections Canada have certified the results. They're always looking to stir up shit to distract from their own actions.
And the most glaring post I seen from the Con supporters afterwards...Why are they only questioning PP's numbers? Umm, hello, he spent almost double the actual Prime Minister...thats worth questioning.
VV is a for profit business that gets all their products donated to them via the Diabetes Dropboxes. Don’t shop there if you can avoid it. Stick to secondhand stores that are non-profit like The Salvation Army.
In the wise words of Yoda, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering “. Be the resistance.
As someone who facilitates Occupational Health & Safety education, I highly recommend everyone become more aware of this. We talk about it regularly and how we as workers are exposed to these carcinogens. Mapping forever chemicals in Canada. newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/202...
I died laughing when I saw their ludicrous expectations. Keep their Canadian passports, the CPP, and lower taxes with no federal taxes. Dude, you don't get to leave a country and keep all the benefits from said country. No Cdn. Taxpayer social benefits for you and no passport.
He has a house in Ottawa that he and his wife rent out to another Con MP. Time to move back to your own house, where you have to do everything for yourself on your own dime.
I won’t be flying over or into the US anytime in the next 5 years!
Canada didn’t do shit to provoke numnuts…he’s hated JT for years, so he manufactured a rift with Canada and we responded accordingly.
Canada didn’t do shit to provoke anyone…Trump just created this rift and we responded. Facts are so inconvenient to the Republicans.
Which everyone with a brain already knew. I'm not flying anywhere into the US for at least 5 years.
And they want to keep the CPP and have lower taxes 😆 🤣
Morons, every last one of them! Living in delusion to think they can have their cake and eat it too! Also, they think they'll have lower taxes at the same time 😆 🤣
Total delusion! They want their cake and eat it too! Also, lower taxes...hmm, I wonder what's going to pay for everything if you don't have taxes? No healthcare, no pension, no social services at all, Infrastructure...what's gonna pay for that? Stun as me arse!
Best thing I've seen today.
The wise words of Yoda seem to very appropriate on this day and at this time. May the 4th be with you! #starwarsday
Sweet baby Jesus, I know the church is troubled, but it's not insane!
Meanwhile, in Canada…
Alberta First Nations issue cease and desist order against Danielle Smith's attempt to create a national unity crisis. Alberta is on treaty lands. Those treaties were signed 30 years before Alberta became a province.
68.7% of Canadians showed up. Highest turnout since 1993. That’s not a coincidence. That’s a warning shot. That’s a nation refusing to sleepwalk into disaster. That’s Canadians of every age and background dragging themselves out of disillusionment to stop a takeover 🇨🇦 #elbowsup
Woke up to the best news...congratulations Canada on electing the best option to protect Canada and our future. The chef's kiss is that PP lost his taxpayer funded job of 20 years ❤️ He'll actually have to get a real job for the first time in his life.
Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Why would anyone want to have a baby in the US? No maternity leave, no paternity leave, no reproductive healthcare, no childcare, no medical, and it costs a fortune to even give birth. No thanks.
Not every number is a phantom. Pierre actually has about 20 billion in counter tariffs in there as offsetting revenue, small problem though, Canadian consumers pay for those. He's hoping you don't notice. His followers certainly won't notice but the rest of us are smarter than them. #cdnpoli
We desperately need a change in our electoral system. It's my greatest disappointment in JT. He campaigned on changing the system and then back pedalled. PR is like a functional minority government with the exception that there wouldn't be constant non-confidence votes. People over party.
This is the break down I did of the Conservatives own National Policy on FB. There is no hiding behind spindoctors or campaign managers here, this is the Con's own intentions laid out for everyone to see. It's full of anti-LGBTQ2S, anti-union, & anti-choice. Some scary stuff here. #NeverPoilievre
Anti-reproductive freedom is written in numerous places in their National Policy.
Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.
