We celebrate Eva Marie Saint, who died today at 102. A #SagAftraMember since 1947, Saint won an Oscar for her film debut in 'On the Waterfront' and starred in 'North by Northwest.' An advocate for organized labor, she leaves an enduring example for generations of union members.

We don’t usually think of cancer as an infectious disease. But in 2024, infections were linked to around 2.3 million cancer cases worldwide. Some can be prevented with vaccines, others can be treated or cured, making infection prevention an important part of cancer prevention, too. The list: 👇🧵

Holy moly. The scum aren't stopping until they are stopped by whatever legal means is necessary. These racist bastards would be in for a rude awakening if they could ever achieve their fantasy. Fewer health care workers, fast food servers, farm pickers, etc, etc. Many dangerous fools among us.

The police nationwide are failing miserably where white nationalists are concerned. The Freedom Convoy was handled piss-poorly-I believe PM Trudeau did the right thing.🪶😡 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Ontario government is aggressively promoting greater for-profit involvement in health care delivery. 😞 New report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. #OntarioHealthcare #HealthcarePrivatization #ONpoli #PublicHealthcare

A tunnel under the 401. Yeah, that's it. That's what Ontario needs.

Maybe Doug Ford can tear up some bike lanes to get this pesky bit of traffic congestion all cleared up?

Alberta separatists are running to Trump, offering our oil and water in exchange for American support to break up Canada. A traitor to this country doesn’t have to wear a foreign flag. Sometimes they wave ours while selling out our future. This is a national emergency. Alberta is not for sale.

It's clear as day - Bill C-39 undermines the fundamental right of workers to strike. This doublespeak from the Liberals does not change that. @canadianlabour.bsky.social @unifor.org @uswmetallos.bsky.social @teamsters.bsky.social @psac-afpc.bsky.social @cupescfp.bsky.social @pipsc-ipfpc.bsky.social

Foreign interference in Alberta's referendum is a serious matter impacting our sovereignty and should be debated in Canada's House of Commons. Why then is the Liberal Speaker not interested in this debate?

“Carney is tilting the scales in the favour of employers.” Marty Warren, National Director of USW, is right. Carney talks about protecting workers while his gov’t undermines their bargaining power, weakens their right to strike, and puts corporate interests first. www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

The Carney government is tilting the scales in the favour of employers

He is seeking more ways to intervene in strikes whenever the national economic interest is at stake.

Gouvernement minoritaire = Besoin de consensus... Ce n'est pas mauvais pourvu que le PQ ne fasse pas alliance avec les CONservateurs.

I think we're one step away from that, PSPP promised not to to hold a referendum until Trump is gone, and with a minority won't easily be able to hold one... so for now all parties will work to shape the future election battlefield

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

Write to your federal MP. Let them know that Canadian Medicare is threatened by physician dual practice. Our healthcare system may be broken, but two-tier healthcare will not fix it. 3/3
