The neo-Nazi Gabriel Chaput has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for his role in spreading anti semitic hate. This wouldn’t have been possible without the work of Jon Milton and @ShannonCarranco on this investigative series we published in 2018. montrealgazette.com/news/loc…

Solidarity with the 155,000 @psac_afpc members going on strike.
Better staffing levels and better wages means better public services for us.

Holy hell. Radio-Canada reporting that the six dead people on the Canada-US border were migrants. CBC reports one child had a Canadian passport.
This is a few days after the Roxham Road closure while Biden and Trudeau met in Ottawa. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle…
6 bodies, including 1 child with a Canadian passport, recovered from St. Lawrence River near Canada-US border in Quebec

“If this gvt was serious about housing affordability, it would rein in rental markets and directly finance the construction and acquisition of large amounts of non-market housing. This #budget2023 doesn’t do that”–@ricardo_tranjan @ccpa monitormag.ca/articles/a-hit…

There isn't a housing crisis in Canada, @ricardo_tranjan argues in this provocative 110-page book.
More accurately, we have "a poorly regulated market that extracts income from working-class people and channels it to higher-income segments of Canadian society."
Out May 2nd.

Unions, progressives and the labour movement needs to support permanent resident #StatusForAll instead of blaming im/migrants for low-wages or using services. Especially with more anti-refugee racism and potential to win regularization.

Canadian police killed more people than ever recorded in 2020. And then they set a new record in 2021. And then they set a new record in 2022.
Thanks to @trackinjustice and @alexmcclelland for putting together this database.

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

A growing list of unions are expressing solidarity with Wet'suwet'en land defenders. Some are going further—refusing to cross community picket lines during blockades, and providing strike pay to affected workers.
This is what solidarity looks like. #ShutDownCanada
Wet'suwet'en land defenders are calling for support from the labour movement. If you're part of a union, solidarity statements and member mobilization are needed urgently. #canlab #WetsuwetenStrong

On day 2 of the strike, just to underscore why this matters, there is ONLY ONE journalism program (at the University of Regina) that requires that employers pay student interns. #grevedesstages
