🔥JUNE 11 IS DAVIS DAY🔥
William Davis was a coal miner murdered by company police in the 1925 Cape Breton coal strike. Miners were fighting a 20% wage cut imposed by the BESCO, the largest corporation in Canada at the time. Here is the story of Davis Day:

@rankandfileca John A MacDonald said the primary roll of the Senate is to protect minorities and there will always be fewer rich people than any other class..

[Rankandfile.ca @rankandfileca]

@jdouglaslittle Well said

[Rankandfile.ca @rankandfileca]

The corrupt Canadian Senate, designed explicitly by the Fathers of Confederation as a block on democracy, think Canadians should have even fewer job rights - so a small corporate elite and idle rich parasites can plunder even more wealth from the working majority.

Don't worry, Canadian business owners and rich investors! We Liberals are not ending the indentured servitude of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program or Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program! The fate of your super-exploited foreign workers remains entirely in your soft soft hands

So they can keep collecting taxpayer handouts.

"A country that can't feed itself ... isn't truly sovereign," Prime Minister Mark Carney said.

[Rankandfile.ca @rankandfileca]

PP is mad because Carney is running the Conservative corporate plunder program on steroids. The economic crisis in Canada won't he solved by cutting a few taxes here and there. PP knows this. He is just Carney's ally in bringing this country under wholesale corporate domination.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

More costs. More taxes. More of the same Liberal empty promises on food prices.

You said a year ago you would lower grocery prices.

But your taxes and recession gave Canada the worst food inflation in the G7. You raised the industrial carbon tax on farm equipment, fertilizer and food processing. Your weak economy and weak dollar have lowered purchasing power and raised the cost of imported food.

The Conservative plan is to suspend all fuel taxes for the rest of the year, end the industrial carbon tax, and cut inflationary spending so farmers can grow more for less and Canadians can afford groceries.

Another milestone in the elite destruction of public services in service of corporate profits and domination.

SNC-Lavalin is at the heart of this corporate high-speed rail scam. But they're so toxic they've renamed themselves AtkinsRéalis. We need HSR but this is a scheme for $90+ billion in corporate plunder of public wealth.

Are Canadians allowed to ask why we support a gangster government in Ukraine that's busy celebrating Ukrainian Nazis (see Melnyk)? Russia can't even take Kiev. Most Ukrainians don't want to fight anymore. NATO arms cartel cashing in huge. End the war!!!

Ottawa loves talking about forced labour when it happens overseas. But when migrant workers in Canada are tied to one employer for their job, housing, immigration status, and survival, the urgency seems to vanish. We can't keep ignoring coercion at home. https://t.co/DWi7jgqJMM

Liberals have done nothing for a decade after Cons did nothing for a decade after Liberals did nothing for a decade after Tories did nothing for a decade...

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

In a country like Canada, this should be unfathomable that working people live in campers in parking lots.

But after more than a decade of Liberals, it’s the reality for far too many Canadians.

Corporate welfare for job-killing Agropur

[Unifor @UniforTheUnion]

Just weeks before Agropur announced the closure of its Sussex dairy plant, the New Brunswick government approved a non-repayable contribution for the company’s Miramichi expansion.

Unifor is asking the provincial government to reevaluate this decision to provide Agropur with $2.4 million in public funding.

[Rankandfile.ca @rankandfileca]

Looks like more business class welfare with zero democratic ownership & control despite the working majority's tax dollars paying this $3 billion bill - all while Carney leaves untouched the record corporate profits in 2025 made through tax subsidies, price gouging + price fixing

[Rankandfile.ca @rankandfileca]

The unelected fat cats appointed by a string of union-busting PMs - aka the Senate - have produced a report calling to revoke the Charter Right to Strike for rail & port workers. Carney's agenda of corporate plunder and domination can be defeated by coordinated strike action.
