🗞️ Be sure to check out @TheGrindTO’s latest issue focused on the growing, city-wide tenant movement we’ve been building.

Includes a story on some recent wins with our neighbours at 80 Guestville here in York South-Weston! ✊

Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold.

People are dying, systems are breaking down.

This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

It’s a blatant violation of international law, a crime in progress.

Canadians are connected to Cuba: we’ve been welcomed, had great holidays, heard incredible music, done business and made friends.

We need to help Cuba right now, even if it bothers Trump: Canada should send immediate humanitarian fuel aid, in as much quantity as we can quickly assemble.

And we should be speaking out loudly on the international stage: US military action against Cuba is absolutely unacceptable!

It’s time for the countries of the world to rally and stop this impunity before it takes another sovereign country into chaos.

We have to come to Cuba's aid. What's happening is too cruel, too horrible.

Some good news. The appeals court has granted our stay request, preventing my detention or deportation while I seek Supreme Court review. This fight is far from over. More to come this summer!

The reflex to treat strikes as a public policy ‘problem’ instead of a democratic tool to rebalance power shows how Carney sees unions: disruptions to contain, not organizations workers rely on for fair wages, safety, and a voice.

[Scott Robertson @sarobertson_]

The United Conservative Party put out a statement claiming a special committee had voted to recommend a referendum question for this October, offering Albertans a choice on whether to remain in Canada.

But the release went out while the committee was still meeting and hadn’t actually finalized anything.

@GumptionAndCo @BestStephenD @DonDavies @avilewis He literally spoke at Labour for Palestine’s Hot Cargo Event just last week and then publicly spoke in favour of the CLC cutting ties with the Histadrut the next day from the stage of convention.

1/ This announcement marks the Carney government’s official surrender to the oil and gas lobby.


By gutting carbon pricing to the point of irrelevance, it has dismantled the last federal climate measure standing. We now have a federal government that no longer even pretends to rein in big corporate polluters.

Now I'm no climate scientist but it doesn't take a genius to know that a new tar sands pipeline + a lower than anticipated industrial carbon price won't reduce carbon emissions.

@TheFrankDomenic I think it’s a stretch to say that allowing non-citizens and non-permanent residents to vote in party leadership races and nomination races puts our democracy at risk of foreign interference. Migrant residents deserve a say in who represents them.

[Emma Jackson @EmmaJackson57]

At this point, no amount of investigations, class action lawsuits, or government-issued statements can renew the legitimacy of Alberta's October referendum.

Add your name if you believe the only acceptable response is for it to be scrapped entirely.

The Liberal government is giving billions in public handouts to oil companies to build a techno-fix to the climate crisis.

@DesmondCole breaks down how the supposed solution is actually just cover for endless fossil fuel production.

in Islamic and Middle Eastern lore, if you’ve wronged an animal or harmed nature you could be taken to jinn court where the animals could have a jinn council pass judgement

[Canadian Dimension @CDN_Dimension]

The new @TenantsUnionTO is challenging the myth that Canada’s housing crisis is just a supply problem. As governments rescue developers and investors, tenants are organizing around a simple reality: housing is about power, class & who cities are built for. https://t.co/3e5LIFtImt

Lucy Watson is out as #NDP national director, she told the party’s new federal council today.

No explanation was given in her letter but the widely expected move essentially completes a clean house in the party’s top positions under new leader Avi Lewis. #cdnpoli

This is so beyond illegitimate at this point it’s not even funny. Fucking shut it down.
