From @cbcnewsbc: Canadian post-grad students walk out, demanding increased federal funding for researchers

TAs have been assigned make-up labs &tutorials. We have end of term marking. But what’s truly awful is the reality that this employer would rather degrade the academic experience for students to enact a punitive gesture on an already precarious group of student-workers. /4
CUASA, CUPE 4600 unit 2 members, and CUPE 2424 members all have anti-scab protections in their collective agreements. Stand in solidarity with your striking TAs!
We have a strong message for @Carleton_U: get back to the bargaining table & treat academic workers with respect.
CUPE's National Executive Board joined striking @cupe4600 members to demand fair pay, appropriate student-TA ratios, & intellectual property rights.
#StrikeToWin
Academic workers’ demands for a fair contract also include being treated with dignity, respect and fairness in their working lives. For such goals, @cupe4600 will always have the support of CUPE Ontario and its 280,000 members.

As #COP15 kicks off in Montreal, a reminder that Indigenous people are the world's best defence against biodiversity loss and the climate crisis. Canada cannot claim to be a leader while our governments violently criminalize Indigenous land defenders.

Parks Canada has sent a letter to the Ontario government warning Greenbelt development would violate a federal-provincial agreement and likely cause “irreversible harm” to species at risk, natural ecosystems and farmland. via @EmmaMci#onpoli https://t.co/gYEr4zua5y
Earlier this month, we joined other community organizations #Ottawa residents to condemn the detrimental #Bill23 that destroys agricultural land and greenspace and quashes tenant rights all while making housing more unaffordable.
We must fight back.

Talk about timing. In September, prominent developer Michael Rice paid $80M for land that’s been protected for almost two decades.
Weeks later, Doug Ford announced changes to the Greenbelt. Rice’s land was suddenly set to open up for housing. https://t.co/ETRxO1oL9A
“Lamprey is completely gone.”
