An almost all woman work force @AirCanada attendants work 35-40 hours a week without pay - any time not in air.
Funny how they settled with their mostly male pilots but refuse even to bargain with women?

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

No. It’s because you refuse to pay your workers for their labour. You stranded your passengers.

[Caelem 🇨🇦🍊🦉🏹 @CaelemSG]

It's astonishing that Air Canada would rather cut hundreds of flights than pay their workers for time when they are working.

[Emily Wiseman @EmilyWisemanPhD]

This is @AirCanada claiming we can rebook for free @CTV @CTVNews @CBCNews

[Emily Wiseman @EmilyWisemanPhD]

Hi @AirCanada , you told me to check in for my flight tomorrow, August 16th. So I tried but the check-in says the flight is closed, so I can’t check in. I realize the strike starts tomorrow but you haven’t cancelled my flight and you haven’t rebooked me so what am I to do?

[Emily Wiseman @EmilyWisemanPhD]

Given that you’re charging $3k to change flights currently, it’s starting to feel like you’re abdicating any and all responsibility to rebook passengers for no fee. Given that I’m in Europe, you’re about to be in violation of EC261.

Ontario set a goal to be fully accessible by January 1, 2025, under AODA, but the province has fallen short. Progress has been slow, and barriers remain for people with disabilities. Let’s push for meaningful change. #AODA #Accessibility #Ontario

Give a double dose of hope this #GivingTuesday!

When you give a #farming kit, you’re providing seeds, tools & training—everything a family needs to start growing crops, feed their loved ones & earn a steady income. Donations are MATCHED, so your support will have 2X the impact!

🚨URGENT: Aid agencies & medical professionals warn of mass polio outbreaks among Gaza's children.

Without a #CeasefireNOW and unrestricted access to vaccines & humanitarian aid, Gaza will face a public health crisis that will impact generations to come.

As of today, this is how women must dress in Afghanistan, according to the Taliban's Supreme Leader.

The following rules are now in effect: The full face must be covered—no hands, nothing visible. The black veil was presented as a "recommendation" a year ago, now it is the law.

How does #InternationalLaw change & adapt to meet global challenges in a volatile social & political context?
@ezgiyyildiz & @NicoKrisch's book offers fresh, theoretically informed, and empirically rich answers to these questions.

"The humanitarian situation is beyond desperate for the people living inside #Gaza, in #Rafah in particular...We're almost at a loss for words as to how to explain the realities on the ground."

Thanks to everyone who attended CARE & @oxfamcanada's #GenderInEmergencies learning event today, supported by @canadadev!

Special thanks to @CareSouthSudan @OxfamSomali & all partners working every day to ensure #women’s voices are heard & needs are met in emergencies & after.

[Maayan Ziv @maayanziv]

Today in Ottawa we are speaking about the barriers that disabled passengers face in air travel.

Folks around the table, disability, government and industry, are sharing remarks but more importantly we are pressing for tangible change and meaningful impact.

[CARE Canada @carecanada]

Civilians in #Rafah must be protected.

CARE Canada is calling for:

- an immediate halt to the ground offensive
- the rescindment of the evacuation order
- #CeasefireNOW
- respect for the right to seek protection across borders

There is simply nowhere safe to go in #Gaza.

[CARE South Sudan @CareSouthSudan]

Today, CARE South Sudan celebrates a milestone with @carecanada. Inspiring stories from Women Voices in Leadership Phase I filled the room as we reflected on our journey. Partnerships are key to gender equality and inclusive leadership! 🙏 to our WVL donor GAC.

[CARE Canada @carecanada]

Congratulations @CareSouthSudan & partners! Thank you @CanadaDev for supporting #WomensLeadership globally. When we #InvestInWomen anywhere, amazing things happen everywhere! 🙌
