Why Canada needs better data on strikes, unions and other labour issues
Canada does a poor job of gathering labour relations information. In a period of rising inequality and renewed workplace conflict, stakeholders need better data.

The idea of an elected judiciary is a fundamentally sophmoric view of democracy, one that equates--and, indeed, reduces-- the many "inputs" into a whole, comprehensive democratic system, to nothing more than the fluctuating will of the (sacrosanct) 'electorate', at any given moment.
This is among the most democratically dangerous things Danielle Smith has said.
She wants to remove all checks and balances on her power and projects herself as the embodiment of "the people."
We have left the realm of liberal democracy in this province.

Given news of Canada's lost measles-elimination status, it seemed à propos to circulate this 2022 article from McGill Journal of Law and Health 15(1). In it I argue that parental right to refuse routine childhood vaccination is not well grounded in moral theory or law.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence.
This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less.
Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

And again, why are these agents kitted out like they are going into Mogadishu?
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Columbia ends uncertainty with Trump deal, head says
Columbia University's agreement to pay over $200 million to the U.S. government in a settlement with President Donald Trump's administration to resolve federal probes and restore most of its suspended federal funding ends a period of "institutional uncertainty," the university's acting president said.
