NDP leader Avi Lewis is receiving RCMP protection. This news comes after the @nationalpost published an op-ed seemingly justifying violence against Lewis.
The @nationalpost and its parent company receive millions in annual subsidies.
If Canada wants to have a real industrial strategy it would be a whole lot more efficient if we simply nationalized rather than shady handouts, contracts with strings attached.
Our CYND retreat was a great success! CYND leaders from across the country gathered to finalize our statement of principles - the Pine River Declaration, begin strategic planning and do trainings on engagement barriers, media and labour & tenant organizing.
this is the hallmark of a death spiral in public capacity btw lol - slash the public sector by tens of thousands of jobs, outsource it to expensive, external, non-auditable contracts, watch the government bleed finances - get worse services, expertise and left to hold the bag
I was just in Brampton last week, co-hosting a rowdy town hall at @UniforLocal1285 HQ for these embattled Stellantis workers. I heard heartbreaking stories of how much the community has already lost in a prolonged shutdown. And I saw the fire of their resolve: they are not giving up, despite this enraging betrayal by the company.
But it’s not just the company, and it’s not just about today’s announcement. Stellantis announced they were moving production to the US last October! Ottawa has promised again and again to protect the auto sector and its workers. Where the hell have they been for the whole last year?
The Carney government has shown that it can move fast on big things when it wants to. Selling airports, rushing through major projects. But these workers and this community have been abandoned.
We need immediate action to save thousands of union jobs and the domestic manufacturing capacity this plant provides. Trump can’t be allowed to de-industrialize our heartland. The Carney gov. needs to wake up and put its full weight behind these workers and this community.

Canada has a Democratic Socialist Party - one that will tax the uber-rich and increase help to everyone else, just like Bernie, Mamdani, AOC etc
You don't have to vote for a party that's not liberal enough
“Canadians aren’t stupid. We see Galen Weston getting richer and richer as grocery costs skyrocket. We know we’re being ripped off.”
NDP leader Avi Lewis is calling for a public grocery option across Canada and an end to grocery store monopolies. https://t.co/pnKPVIluns
The elite media absolutely never talks about how the Mexican left utterly crushed the corrupt narco-establishment in Mexico and instituted a wildly popular democratic socialist government that’s still going strong after eight years because they wouldn’t want to give you any ideas
Today CYND execs from across the country will be meeting in person at a lodge near Barrie, Ontario for our first ever Exec Retreat! We will be doing strategic planning and finalizing our socialist political program, which will be our guiding document for years to come.
Omg HAHA the finance minister walks up while NDP Leader Avi Lewis is live on air speaking to David Cochrane.
Avi immediately starts pressing him on giving way more in deductions to big business than they’re spending on affordability measures for Canadians 👀👀👀
