“ The reality is that Roshel gave Stellantis a way out, and they took it. We need our gov’t to do more, to step up & say there are lots of options. We can stop this sale. We can continue to make sure this is part of the auto footprint in Canada,” @Lanampayne tells @CTV_PowerPlay.
Today at the United Nations, @CanadaUN once again voted “Yes” on an important motion that reaffirms the inalienable rights of the Palestinian and Syrian people over their natural resources.
The motion also demands that Israel, the occupying Power, “cease the exploitation, damage, cause of loss or depletion and endangerment” of those resources. It passed at the preliminary committee stage by 151-7.
Canada finally resumed voting “Yes” on the motion just last year, after two decades of shamefully voting “No.” We welcome this continued support for motions defending Palestinian rights and hope to see this trend continue during the current UN session.

“ This is the biggest single casualty of Trump's trade war. Happening just as we see Trump's political strength crumbling after the midterm elections. To allow a closure of a core facility like this at this moment is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” says @JimboStanford.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva warned at the COP31 Leaders' Summit in Antalya that rising wars and trade disputes are overshadowing ecological priorities, saying the world talks "more about weapons and tariffs than about the survival of future generations."
He noted climate disasters are displacing populations on a scale comparable to armed conflict, urged international cooperation, and reaffirmed Brazil's commitment to sustainable development, citing the role of Indigenous communities, youth, and civil society as negotiations continue through November 20.

The billing system is more evidence of plans to move to a U.S. style health care system...it's all about profits not about care. Join us on the hill on November 28th @ 1:00 to call on the feds to stop this now.
Amid catastrophic flooding in Gaza, we are urging the Canadian government to exert pressure on Israel – including sanctions – to bring an end to its illegal occupation and siege which have created and exacerbated the crisis.
Israel’s destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure and its restrictions on basic supplies have created intolerable humanitarian conditions, at odds with the basic conditions for sustaining life. As Foreign Minister @AnitaAnandMP meets with allies today at the G7 in Paris, CJPME urges Canada to announce new sanctions on Israel to stop this human-made disaster.
“Israel’s illegal blockade and restrictions on aid in Gaza are not only inhumane, but represent a blatantly genocidal act of collective punishment against the Palestinian people,” said Yara Shoufani, President of CJPME. “The current disaster unfolding in Gaza is entirely predictable and preventable, as the intended result of Israel’s cruel and calculated restrictions.”
Thanks to Katheryne Schulz and Charlie Angus for the solidarity with #Cuba. For sure, we have the power to break the U.S. criminal blockade, and together, we are going to break it.
#CubaIsNotAThreat —the blockade is.
#CubaNoEsUnaAmenaza —el bloqueo sí.
Unifor's National Executive Board is proud to support the AFC through the union's Social Justice Fund.
The AFC (formerly known as the Actors’ Fund of Canada) has a longstanding partnership with Unifor Local 700-M, and is Canada’s only national charity dedicated to supporting entertainment industry workers, particularly freelancers, self-employed professionals and technicians facing financial insecurity and employment disruptions.
“ Well, the ink was barely dry on this, and we heard today from the CEO of Roshel that they're not obligated to do anything here for these 2,200 workers that have been left devastated by the sale of their auto plant,” @Lanampayne tells #CBCPnP.
Stellantis’ sale of Brampton Assembly Plant is a betrayal to workers, a blow to Canada’s industrial economy with the loss of thousands of jobs and production capacity, and a failure of our national auto strategy. Watch Unifor’s media conference.
If Canada is prohibiting Russia from playing at the World Juniors due to its attack on Ukraine then the USA should also be banned for its attack on Iran. And it should have been banned when it attacked Iraq.

7 November (25 October on the old Julian calendar) marks 109 years since the working class took history into its own hands.
The October Revolution proved that capitalism is not permanent, and that a disciplined working class can win power and build a new society.
Spontaneous anger is not enough to defeat the ruling class. We need organisation, clarity, and revolutionary political power to tear down exploitation and build socialism.
Don't just watch history - make it.
Join the Communist Party of Britain.

Can't believe it has come to this...this is a complete failure that rests on the shoulders of Ford and Jones and everyone else who supports private for profit health care over public.
