Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives want to launch a witch hunt against Canada's public health heroes - just like MAGA is doing with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Poilievre offers nothing to Canadians except warmed over crap from the American extreme right.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Many of the online stores you’ll see use Shopify. Have you seen “pay with Shop” or some other prompt on said store? That means profits from said (often local!) store enriches Maple MAGA and a billionaire actively wanting to kill Canadian democracy in favour of the ultra-rich. Tell your stores!

Just a head’s up to everyone who hasn’t reassessed their relationship with Shopify yet: its CEO is actively pushing far-right politics in Canada, now with Elon Musk’s explicit support!

Air Canada claims it introduced “basic” premium fares for “consumer choice”, but the same flight I was looking at booking yesterday has been jacked up by a hundred bucks, with the “basic” fare at the same price point as the refundable fare yesterday. Fucking corporations.

We need to ban foreign ownership of BC farmland immediately. The super-billionaire heir to the Walmart fortune, Stan Kroenke, now controls over 13% of BC’s farmland - this is a threat to BC’s sovereignty, food security and farmers. Read the Tyee’s in-depth coverage on this issue.

A Tiny BC Farming Town's Fight Against Billionaire Speculators
A US company's pursuit of land near Dunster has reignited calls for stiffer foreign ownership rules.The purchase of dozens of farm properties by two U.S. billionaires has prompted a small B.C. community to call for restrictions on foreign ownership of agricultural land.
Since 2008, a company co-owned by American billionaires Bobby Patton Jr. and Mark Walter has bought 25 properties in Dunster, an unincorporated community of approximately 240 people located 40 minutes north of Valemount.Patton Jr. and Walter are co-owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers through their company
Guggenheim Baseball Management, and were estimated to have a combined net worth of more than $5 billion in 2020. By contrast, the average household income for those living in the Dunster area is about $60,000 per year.Unlike many other provinces, British Columbia has no restrictions on foreign ownership of agricultural land.

I don't think people understand how thin the line between "deportation" and "extermination" really is - not just in Europe, but everywhere the topic comes up. Many people feel comfortable with the idea of deportation because it obscures the underlying violence that is necessarily implied.

And to spell it out: when DHH says "deport Romani people", those are people who are citizens of the country they live in. Where would they be deported to? When the Nazis ran into this same question, they created extermination camps. bsky.app/profile/anil...

Europe burns. North America’s largest cities choke on smoke that would have been almost unthinkable just a few years ago. Yet we’re told to dismiss what we can plainly see—and breathe. Trading the planet for political expediency is a choice.
