0.001% of the global population, that's 60,000 people, control more wealth than the poorest half of humanity or more than four billion people.
A society based on such toxic greed can't just be criticized or condemned. It must be destroyed. #Inequality

The Air Canada flight attendant strike brought wage theft and unpaid work into the spotlight. Now, a new report shows that wage theft is a systemic issue that affects workers across sectors and tax brackets. #UnpaidWorkWontFly https://t.co/Wx6HL24kdc

After 2.5 years of rallies, petitions, and non-stop pressure, ACORN members on Webster Street have WON against renovictions! ACORN’s fight against Ontario’s “King of Renovictions,” Michael Klein, forced him to withdraw eviction notices for tenants https://t.co/8pTEbh0sQA

66,000 jobs losses in August — and PM Carney is intent on slashing the workers who process employment insurance and other critical programs right when people in Canada need them most.

It’s time to face the facts. These reckless, lazy cuts hurt everyone and have to stop.

Global #foodprices are 40% above pre-pandemic levels and increasing by 7% a year. A shattering development.

[Joel Harden @JoelDHardenNDP]

In 2024 @BonitaZarrillo questioned AC about unpaid work done by flight attendants. AC’s overpaid CEO refused to comment. PM Carney is bailing him out.

There is more integrity in the fingernail of a flight attendant than Mark Carney’s entire government.

441 Elmwood in Hamilton has been EMPTY for 2 years after a tenant was wrongfully evicted by a bad-faith N12 evicted the tenant for the landlords personal use. The Landlord and Tenant board is failing to protect tenants. The burden should not be on tenants to prove bad faith.

Opinion: I once embraced the Zionist dream. Now I’m protesting the genocide in Gaza on the streets of Toronto https://t.co/bi1Ur0D6hG

[Leah ProudLakota (she/her) @LeahGazan]

Today along with NDP colleagues I joined members to the Global March to Gaza, a campaign of human rights advocates traveling to the Rafah border to demand humanitarian access to Gaza.

I commend the bravery of this campaign, and share its calls on the Canadian Government to end its complicity in the genocide and demand access for humanitarian aid to Palestinians.

The city is set to spend at least $437 million (likely much more) in unnecessary "upgrades" that will make Lansdowne a worse experience for sports fans.

Canada Post must respect the union’s request for final and binding arbitration to end the dispute fairly and expeditiously. Posties are fighting not only to protect rights of their workers but to protect the public postal service for all people across Canada.

This is the biggest expansion of Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank in decades. They’re doing this for all the world to see, and our government is complicit.

Our affiliate @PSCC_Palestine is on the ground directly fighting against this, day in day out🇵🇸
