We're on the picket line with my sister outside a tory mpp office here in Maddock #CUPESolidarity #fightford

[MPP Jamie West @jamiewestndp]

I want to thank everyone for being incredibly supportive for the past little while. By choosing not to post your condolences on social media, you gave Heidi's closest loved ones the opportunity to hear about my sister's death in person.

Over the last two days, the people of #Ottawa have come together in action to oppose the occupiers and support our neighbours in centretown. It has been incredible.

Blockading part of the convoy heading downtown is still on at Riverside and Bank. People across #Ottawa are empowered and taking back their streets. There is joy in resistance! #FluTruxKlan #canlab #cdnpoli #cdnmedia

[brian edgecombe @edgybrian]

This is all just amazing

[Hassan Husseini حسن الحسيني @HassanHusseini2]

Ottawa fights back. Blocking the convoy.

[brian edgecombe @edgybrian]

@Al_Goodhall and thousands of truckers like him are the kinds of heros who have helping us make it through this pandemic. They stand in stark contrast to the selfish bullies occupying our street and blocking our borders.

Counter-protest on Bank Street #Ottawa

[brian edgecombe @edgybrian]

@JoelHardenONDP please add your voice to this request by @cmckenney. The distinction between the protest at Parliament Hill and that in the community makes sense and requires support.

And they still are.... tune in tonight to see if I covered it all friends - not an easy feat

Alta Vista neighbours, I am terribly saddened to learn of the tragic event that has occurred in our community this evening. Please know that the @DistressCentreO is open 24/7 and ready to take your call. You are not alone. Call 612-238-3311

CUPE 4600 calls attention to poor bargaining of Carleton University at launch of new labour diploma program in Institue of Political Economy. Teaching assistants and contract instructors represent an increasingly precarious group of workers on campuses across the country.

Is it possible @DlafleurCLC was weighing in with political comment that requires a little courage. When will we see trade union leaders adding critical, constructive comment that can help shape public opinion on important issues?

[Hassan Husseini حسن الحسيني @HassanHusseini2]

A question to @hassan_yussuff and @CanadianLabour: does the CLC support the sanctions against Syria and its people? What is it exactly that you object to in the statement made by @DlafleurCLC?

[brian edgecombe @edgybrian]

Yes, why has CLC @CanadianLabour been silent on the political question of US imperial interference in Syria?

[Geoff Bickerton @gbickerton398]

Donald Lafleur is correct. Our sanctions have done no good and only contributed to the hardship experienced by the Syrian people.
It is sad to see other labour leaders running scared at the slightest bit of criticism from the media.

Pretty ironic that @canadapostcorp is giving a generous donation to a center that does great work on gender diversity BUT still lists the pay equity pay out as an expense.#Shame #cdnpoli #canlab #canfem
