I lean left but it’s open season to criticize them all. I’m not the overly nice Canadian you were promised but I make up for it with dog content 🐾

I care this much about politics because we can’t afford not to
Trump only wants 14 year olds to be seen as the same as adults because he’s on the list
Trump: "You have 14 year old kids that are just as tough as a 25 year old, just as dangerous, and they carry the same gun. We have to make a provision where they are treated like older people ... you have 14 year old kids that are evil. They're sick. And they have to be put away"
Perhaps Canada should follow Germany’s lead and stop arming Israel
PM Carney: Canada’s close friendship with Germany is built upon our shared values of peace democracy, and sustainability, and upheld by our work together — in trade, defence, and energy. 
 
@bundeskanzler and I are bringing our nations ever-closer, towards more security and prosperity
The olive trees are Hamas

Are there any Israel apologists out there who can give a single justification for why Israel just bulldozed 8,000 Palestinian olive trees?

Carney & Canada's statements on Gaza are completely vacuous & shameless

Gaza doesnt need Canada's pity. Canada is still arming Israel. Canada must implement full and immediate arms embargo. And sanction Israel. And suspend all military and trade agreements.

Escalate to break imperialist consensus
The hospitals are Hamas
The civilians seeking aid are Hamas
The orphaned children are Hamas
The clearly identified journalists are Hamas
The cameras that will continue to reveal the war crimes are Hamas

It's antisemitic blood libel to say Israel would bomb a hospital, unless there's proof Israel did bomb the hospital in which case the hospital was Hamas, unless nobody buys that the hospital was Hamas in which case it was a tragic accident and Israel is looking into it.

Israel bombed a hospital.

Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded.

Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV.

Read that again.

Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Canada has to put in real sanctions.

83% of people killed are civilians, mostly children.
Starvation and famine across Gaza.
200 journalists killed.
Bombing hospitals and then bombing the rescuers.
Expanding illegal settlements in the West Bank.

This has to stop. We have to do more.
Israel is committing war crimes on live stream and the Liberals are refusing to act

It is already far too late but at this point anything less than severe sanctions and an arms embargo makes us complicit in this genocide

"On the workers’ side, the repeated use of Section 107 has sent the message that their Charter rights don’t count for much. Governments support the right to strike – until an actual strike happens." www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
Opinion: Ottawa’s Air Canada strike debacle shows it failed to learn from history
By ordering flight attendants back to work, the government may be stoking further labour unrest
www.theglobeandmail.com
And this is precisely why the Fed govt should have stayed out of it . Greedy corporations who collect bailouts but refuse to pay their employees fairly don’t operate in good faith as a rule so of course this would be their tactic
I get that’s it’s incredibly detrimental to have a strike but that’s also the point. It’s not ridiculous to be expected to pay people for the work they do and they hours that they do it in

The first stop for Pierre on his way back to Ottawa should be at CSIS to apply for his security clearance.

He has a month before the House resumes to take care of this. Will he?
In light of the Air Canada situation I thought I’d come back to pull this controversial little statement out of the archives
Some of you are speaking about Carney like he’s a do-no-wrong king & saviour and it’s troublesome
You thought you would try to correct my comment even though it’s bloody obvious people who don’t pay tax don’t get a tax reduction and now you’re irked that I am clarifying your incomplete information ? I’m really starting to see why this platform has the reputation it does 🥴
And to be more precise on your comment it isn’t only those living with disabilities and seniors. People who are single filers under 65 who make below the BPA for that year also do not pay federal income tax
I think it’s wisely understood that there would be no reduction on a rate of zero but if you want to be precise you could edit to say everyone with taxable income
We need a Canadian Heritage moment that shows society where there are no services that are currently funded by tax
You will pay 14% tax on taxable income up to $57,375 instead of 15%. So whatever that works out to based on your income situation
They are divesting from Israel not Israelis . The answer to what has Israel done is “commit war crimes to carry out a genocide”
To clarify for those who are unsure, everyone who earns taxable income is eligible for the Liberal tax cut. The 1% reduction applies to tax owing on up to $57,375 . Anything earned above that is taxed at the rate in the next bracket (as usual) but your rate is still reduced for tax on $57,375
It technically applies to everyone because it’s a 1% reduction on federal tax on earned income up to $57,375. (Income above that gets taxed at the rate in the next bracket (unchanged with this cut) but the person would qualify on the reduction of tax for the first amount)
Mostly just looking for further proof of their hypocrisy
What are the odds that Team Axe the Tax votes no on this ?
