Solidarity with Chris Smalls, a union leader who understands what it means to stand up for what's right. Starving children is not right. Assaulting human rights defenders is not right. For how long will our leaders turn their backs on the people of Palestine?

CUPE stands in solidarity with US labour leader Chris Smalls and all the activists unlawfully detained by Israel while on board the @gazafflotilla, #Handala, delivering aid to Gaza. We condemn this brutality and call for their immediate release. #LetAidIn #AllEyesOnGaza

Outrageous betrayal of Carney’s “elbows up” rhetoric that will spur arms race by weaponizing space, deepen military ties to US empire & starve social programs to the benefit of arms companies

I have a new piece out for the Toronto Star today on how the Carney Liberals ran on public investment and nation-building and have swung immediately to the right. Among other things, Canada may soon experience the most sweeping austerity program it's seen in decades.

Close to 240 journalists murdered in cold blood by the fascist state of Israel. But what is important is not to protest in front of Mélanie Joly's house.

As Netanyahu launches the final phase of his monstrous plan for Gaza, they are eliminating the few journalist witnesses still left alive. Unbearable that under Carney, Canada can’t manage more than occasional symbolic gestures. Sanctions, weapons ban, real consequences now!
