NEW: The real reason hotel rooms are so expensive now is because hotels across America are reportedly using an algorithm to secretly, and illegally, inflate prices.

Here’s why Poilievre will never win over workers:

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead.

A future where every worker has the freedom to join a union.

Where every person has affordable health care, affordable child care, and paid family leave.

We believe in a future where every senior can retire with dignity.

So this is to say, building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.

BDS works! @PUMA is dropping sponsorship of Israel Football Assoc after years of boycotts.

I pledge to hold companies & institutions complicit in Israel's #GazaGenocide & apartheid regime accountable until they fully end support for Israel's crimes.

I am boycottting these union busting brands until they instruct their ad agencies to bargain fairly with ACTRA performers who have been locked out since April 2022!. https://t.co/AhJK020M3C

@OxfamCanada According to the @Oxfam report, a tax of ~60% on the incomes of the super-rich globally would cut the carbon equivalent to > the total 2019 emissions of the U.K. & could raise US$6.4T in the process, which could be reinvested into a transition away from fossil fuels. #TaxTheRich

The unprecedented inequality of wealth and the super rich are destroying the planet for the rest of us. #ClimateCrisis #TaxTheRich #Canpoli

“We looked at just the top 1% and found the carbon heating emissions of that group was enough to lead to another 1.3 M deaths over the course of this century,” Ian Thomson, Policy Manager at @OxfamCanada said in an exclusive interview with CTV National News. #TaxTheRich
