Canada Post paints bleak financial picture, hints at big job cuts | CBC News
At its annual public meeting Tuesday, Canada Post revealed that it continues to bleed cash and hinted at big job cuts through attrition.

I have an idea for Canada Post…
It should be trimmed like an apple tree. Start by cutting the upper branch layers so that the apples are still harvestable. The executive management and their decisions have driven CP into the ground with their anti-employee attitude. 1/2

This woman was an observer when ice was arresting her Somali neighbors who are legal citizens. She was arrested and her legs kept in shackles for 5 hours and they CUT OFF her wedding ring when they were processing her. It is so appalling. In Minneapolis my hometown.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.
If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

This is a f*g travesty! Are kidding me??!!🤯 This is like getting a pardon in advance! Really rich coming from the US, who continues to supply 10s billions to carry out the genocide and other war crimes and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians!! Other nations should tell the ICC this is a HARD NO💯💯
The administration is threatening the ICC with yet more sanctions if they do not amend the Rome Statute, which established the court in 2002, to ensure Trump and his administration’s top officials are never prosecuted, Reuters reports, citing a Trump administration official.

Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

After I was cut from the team, I worked overtime for six years because I was determined to win a gold medal for my country. I'm campaigning just like I played basketball: by outworking everyone. It's time we had someone in the Senate who fights for all Iowans.

Four of Trump's five children have an immigrant mother, and the one who doesn't is married to the son of two immigrants.
Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”
As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.
