Did you know Mark Carney was awarded the 'Order of Canada' in 2014 (under PM Harper’s recommendation) for his leadership in the development of financial policy in #Canada and around the world.

"As governor of the Bank of Canada he was one of the key players in steering the Canadian economy through the 2008 global economic crisis, championing clear communication and predictability."

This boils my blood. I don't know the US labour history, but I do know how hard public sector workers in Canada and Alberta had to fight to gain collective bargaining rights, which they were not allowed because they were "civil servants".

All public worker strikes were wildcat strikes and illegal until 1967 when Federal workers gained the right to collective bargaining through the Public Service Staff Relations Act which took 2 years to pass through Parliament after the wildcat Postal Workers Strike of 1965.

Federal government employees responded by joining unions in record numbers.

Public sector workers in Alberta did not gain these rights until 2016, when the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that ALL Canadian workers have the fundamental right to strike, essential to even the playing field between workers and employers.

That hasn't even been 10 years ago, that our Provincial healthcare workers, education workers, social workers, wildlife workers, custodial workers, and many more have had access to such basic fundamental rights to legal collective job action! You may not have realized that all these strikes you are seeing now are history in the making!

We are living out a struggle for the right of the working-class to SURVIVE.

It breaks my heart to see our fallen comrades losing this fight with such desperation to the south, and makes me fearful of the coming storm we will have to face in Canada as our populist shadow government pushes to put us down in Canada.

 — 
President Donald Trump took his most consequential action against federal employee unions yet late Thursday, signing an executive order aimed at ending collective bargaining for government employees whose work include national security aspects.

The expansive order applies to workers across many federal agencies, including the departments of State, Defense, Justice and Health and Human Services. It also impacts the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Federal Communications Commission, and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A fact sheet released by the White House said, “The President needs a responsive and accountable civil service to protect our national security.”


Over 900 days as 🇨🇦 Conservative leader and Pierre #Poilievre still refuses to get his security clearance.

Liberals now have a 71% chance of a majority government. Conservatives remain at a 1% chance for a majority, with an 8% chance of a minority, for a combined 9% chance of winning government at all.

The grand Mufti of Syria , Sheikh Hassoun , has been imprisoned by the new west backed Al Qaeda regime.

Sheikh Hassoun is a Sunni religious figure who is opposed to the wahhabi doctrine that the west pushed in their regime change.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith appeared side by side at a forum last night in Florida with right wing pundit Ben Shapiro who has said, Canada is “a silly country that makes maple syrup, hockey and annoying prime ministers,” and “we can annex it and then just call it an outlying territory or something like Puerto Rico, but of the North.”

🇨🇦 NEW: PM Carney's bombshell presser today:

He intends to totally reconfigure Canada's supply chains across business sectors.
He sent a direct message to US administration that Canada has already made our plans & we WILL move on without the US.
“He will be tough for the Americans to deal with”
“He’ll make mincemeat of the second-raters in the Trump team”
“He’s made it quite clear that #Canada is not going to put up with this BS.”

Do you think #BigHands plans to ignore foreign medicine IP and just build it all domestically?

Because that would be super funny.

*Sigh*

I'm confused about the rejection of a certain party leader towards getting their security clearance.

As a person who managed cabinet documents for the Associate Minister of National Defence for a few years, it shows to me that (1) we will be less safe day 1 in a Pollievre mandate, (2) it's showing his priority is his politics over our safety, and (3) he will be months behind on being brought up to speed on serious threats to Canada.

It's really scary how far Poilievre's disinformation about journalism in Canada has spread with the help of Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, and the Trump administration's political interference. We need to fight back and speak out. We can't let our echo chambers make us complacent that the rest of the country is informed.

Tiah Shamchuk

Are BBC articles not allowed in Canada for some reason? Genuine curiosity.

Stephanie Staley:
Matthew Olson Canada blocks almost all new from other countries. They basically only have "state sponsored” news now.
Paul Young:
Tiah Shamchuk thank the Liberals for blocking news media, just incase someone shares the truth about him and his pedo addiction. But now that he's gone the new guy ,who works for WEF , has some wacky ideas of how humans need to pay to exist and needs approval to have babies.
Ned Yeung
Tiah Shamchuk Oh my, sorry for all the disinformation in this thread. @ It is not your country which sucks, it is the oligarchy in the United States which did all of this. Canada just said that journalists should be paid for their journalistic work, and Mark Zuckerberg said, "screw that, I'm not giving journalists a cent". End of story.

Meta is a US owned company. US billionaires don't think they should have to play fair, by anybody's rules. That's all there is to it. Don't let them victim- blame Canada for their abusive bullying.

Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the Conservative Party of Canada have been working together to take down free, independent journalism across both Canada and the United States, especially public media because they cannot be controlled by wealth. That's what this is all about.

If you've moved recently, you might want to update your voter registration for the April 28 election.

😲 This morning on CBC Live, Conservative leader Pierre #Poilievre actually admitted he doesn't have the security clearance needed to receive briefings on foreign interference going into the election.

He claims the requirement that he update his security clearance is "partisan" & "politically motivated."

Mr. Poilievre is the only leader without a top-level security clearance. He deflects & blames others, while implying the rules don't apply to him. Sound familiar?

Can I just say that I don't give a **** about income tax cuts?

No normal person, sees any actual benefit, day to day, from "tax cuts". And generally, because tax cuts are 'paid for' with cuts in services that I actually use, I end up worse off.

Tax cuts are not an affordability measure, it's just a way to grab a headline because “taxes bad, therefore cut taxes good”.

Singh's plan to remove the GST from items people buy will have a much more direct impact though again, I worry what will be cut in services to pay for it.

#Canada - Hundreds of part-time college instructors affected by drop in foreign enrollment

> Shannon Knelsen has taught health management in Ontario’s college system for nearly eight years. Until recently, she had all the work she could handle, even if that meant a teaching schedule cobbled together across four different schools.
Then came the sudden drop in foreign enrolment brought on by changes to the international student program. The college sector plunged https://archive.is/2025.03.24-104207/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-hundreds-of-part-time-college-instructors-impacted-by-drop-in-foreign/ #CDNpoli
