@UniforTheUnion Great work folks.

[Jim Stanford @JimboStanford]

The disproportionate loss of low-wage jobs is the (counter-intuitive) reason why average hourly wages (for those who kept their jobs) have risen by almost 6% over the last year. Unfortunately, that's more bad news than good news. #cdnecon

Here's a worrying difference between #DonaldTrump and #MikePence - Trump is just a pragmatic bully and thug; Pence believes in a deadly eschatology: that armageddon has to occur, an end-times war involving restored Israel and its enemies. #TrumpHasCovid

The reason that so many right-wing people are defending #KyleRittenhouse is not because they think he's innocent but because they agree with him.

[Reverend Michael Coren @michaelcoren]

Grandpa spent 4 years in British Army fighting Nazis. My great-uncle spent 3 in Red Army doing the same. They didn't "stand back and stand by" but helped crush fascism. Glad they didn't have to see a collaborator like #DonaldTrump as President. #Debates2020

Somehow @fordnation thinks calling #PSWs & #LTC workers heroes repeatedly in press conferences is substitute for:
•Fair wages & benefits
•Evidence based, enforceable standards of care
•Increased staffing levels & better working conditions

Thank you RBG for carving the path you did. We will keep on carving it. And we will win. They can't stop us.

@niki_lundquist I expected this reality wouldn't change under any circumstances.

[Angelo DiCaro @sindicato9]

6 years ago, the Tories (including O'Toole) rolled out the red carpet for Chinese state investors - giving them tools to sue Canada if our laws didn't suit their interests. Now they plan to get tough on China? Really? I'd say damage is done. https://t.co/xhFBiXlaem

@niki_lundquist Don't I know it Sister.

[Jennifer French @jennkfrench]

This is infuriating. Families have absolutely suffered. How will families ever heal if the Govt - responsible for seniors in its care - says it shouldn't be held responsible? Despicable abdication of both responsibility & basic humanity.#LTC #LongTermCare https://t.co/RDUqUsi8t4

[Councillor Niki Lundquist @niki_lundquist]

I'd like to see Whitby's MPP listen and really engage with parents and educators. This "plan" rests at his feet too. Good leaders don't shy away from tough situations and hard questions. They rise to face them and try to solve them.

[JMcVey @JohnEMcVey]

@AmyLEngland @KerryLynneFindl Yup, what should "alarm" Canadians is that in order to "take back Canada" from some unspecified abstract threat, the end justifies the means to these folks.

[Eva G. (she/her) @EVAsKarma]

Put those empties to good use #Whitby. Bring them to #Caremongers at any of the locations listed below.

[Angelo DiCaro @sindicato9]

An important, voluntary, public survey underway from @StatCan_eng looking at experiences of discrimination during COVID-19. Pass it along! Survey closes on August 17 | https://t.co/2hMVJBe4kv

[JMcVey @JohnEMcVey]

@EVAsKarma Have your cake and eat it to.

[Rankandfile.ca @rankandfileca]

The boss always threatens job losses and store closures if it is unionized. Well, they didn't need a union to close dozens of Lowe's and Rona stores and wipe out 100s of jobs in recent years. Sign that union card!

Often in more subtle ways than a large inheritance.

[Larry Savage @Prof_Savage]

Despite the rags to riches success stories we hear about in popular culture, the reality is that social mobility is a myth for the vast majority of working-class people. Poverty, like wealth, is inherited and passed down from generation to generation.

[Councillor Niki Lundquist @niki_lundquist]

Lecce: "we promised to have your backs" How about our kids backs?. Fund smaller class sizes. Heed the experts.

[JMcVey @JohnEMcVey]

@niki_lundquist I wouldn't either.
