Yesterday on Parliament Hill, I announced my plan to bring forward a Private Members’ Bill to close Canada’s arms-export loophole via the U.S. This loophole has allowed Canadian weapons to fuel human rights abuses abroad.

I appreciate the clarification, because what that account was saying about me was gross.
Still deeply unimpressed about Yves' decision to go on the podcast of the anti-LGBTQ disinformation peddler Jackson Hinkle.

big surprise: mark carney is an ally of canada’s capitalist class and doesn’t respect workers’ rights
“The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation”

Workers deserve better than a government that denies their right to fight for fair treatment.
The federal government has no business interfering in the labour dispute between Air Canada and workers.
This terrible decision by the Liberals undermines negotiations and hurts labour rights.

Once again the Liberal govt violates workers’ right to free collective bargaining. Once again, it interferes on behalf of management. Once again, it harms workers trying to get better working conditions - in this case mostly women forced to work for free.

Why isn’t the Canadian government acting in line with what Canadians actually think about Palestine?
A new poll from Angus Reid shows 52% of Canadians now say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.
Will this finally push the government to end Canada's complicity?
