A Tamil refugee is set to be deported—even though he risks jail and torture back in Sri Lanka.

An error in his papers raises the stakes: his lawyer alleges border agents changed his arrival date to justify removing him from Canada, reports @DesmondCole. https://t.co/o7Wyf5B68i

People said Avi Lewis' plan for public groceries was impossible, and no Canadian government would ever try it

Things are already happening, folks.

“This (law) is the most significant rollback of refugee rights in Canada in over a decade,” said Adam Sadinsky of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers."

.@LeahGazan is one of the few federal NDP parliamentarians left standing. She believes the party needs to embrace "unapologetic socialism" in order to rebuild.

I spoke with Gazan for our latest @TheBreachMedia podcast

Cut 40,000 public sector jobs, boosted military spending, refused to stop weapon sales to Israel, openly supported Trump's bombing of Iran and is governing so right wing that multiple conservative MP's have crossed the bench.

But he gives one speech and everyone loses their mind

[Yipeng Ge 葛义朋 @yipengGe]

"The net effect of these policies is to push more people—our neighbours, friends, schoolmates, and those who grow our food and take care of our families—into precarity. This spells lower wages, more exploitative working conditions, no access to public services and protections, and life in constant fear of detention and deportation.

This is what the war on migrants and constant scapegoating intend to achieve: capital accumulation and labour exploitation in service of the wealthy and powerful.

Instead of issuing empty apologies decades from now, this government can avoid a lot of harm by enacting an immediate, full, inclusive regularization program, withdrawing Bill C-12, and ending the Safe Third Country Agreement.

Indeed, Anandasangaree is right to say “migration is not a crime.” We need to recognize our shared humanity across borders and choose solidarity instead of manufactured division."

Complex Care Housing connects people with the care and services they need to manage complex health challenges. Without this support, many face cycles of evictions, shelter stays and emergency room visits.

This cannot go on.

[Pariah Carey @DesmondCole]

On Friday at @TorontoMet, students interrupted a talk by Liberal MP @EvanLSolomon to call for an arms embargo on Israel

Although Solomon called the disruptions "part of our democracy," TMU security grabbed, assaulted, and handcuffed a demonstrator🧵

In an almost unthinkable display of conflict-of-interest, a former Air Canada legal counsel, Maryse Tremblay, will rule on whether to end job action by striking Air Canada flight attendants at the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

The CUPE National President, speaking just now on the Air Canada flight attendant strike, says he’s willing to go to jail over this:

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

Another strongly worded finger wagging with no concrete action.

Shocking to see our prime minister acknowledge Israel’s violation of international law but still not announce sanctions, a real two-way arms embargo, recognition of a Palestinian state….ANY actual action.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

So Trump didn’t just party with Epstein and joke about their secrets and tell Vanity Fair he knows Epstein likes young girls, he also trafficked girls directly to Epstein under the guise of modeling opportunities. Repulsive.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

If you are in even the tiniest position of power to do anything about this and you try, you’ll never regret it even if it costs you personally and professionally. If you don’t you will live with the shame the rest of your life. This is one of those moments.

[Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore]

PLEASE @AnitaAnandMP and @MarkJCarney DO SOMETHING!

My god…it’s just monstrous. We have the power. Sanctions. Two way arms embargo.

How can our government not even try to stop this??

[Ricochet Media @ricochet_en]

Could publicly-owned grocery stores break Canada’s grocery oligopoly?

A bold proposal from @ZohranKMamdani is sparking interest north of the border. A Canadian public option is not only possible — it’s long overdue

Our fight against Bill C-5 isn’t about whether to develop or not to develop, it’s about upholding constitutionally protected treaty rights and respecting the government’s constitutional obligation to meaningfully consult and obtain the consent of Indigenous rights holders.

My support goes out to all chiefs and Indigenous leaders in Ottawa this week pushing back against this rushed through, unconstitutional legislation.

#WolffBites: Vienna has the best housing system of any European city: high quality, low rents organized by socialists and maintained for many, many years. New York's Mamdani has an excellent model for what works.

It's a #PrimeDay indeed! Big win as the B.C. Labour Board certifies Unifor at Amazon’s Delta facility after ruling the company interfered in the union drive. “Workers slayed the giant,” said @Lanampayne. Time to bargain a first contract. #canlab
