Striking Canada Post workers will move to rotating strikes as of tomorrow — but they’re still fighting the uphill battle for both Canada Post and their labour rights.

For @parismarx.com, the Carney government continuing to chip away at this essential service is the last straw:

This evening, Israel’s government approved the first phase of a ceasefire deal, which a Hamas negotiator said came with U.S. guarantees that the war “has ended completely.”

Many Palestinians are celebrating that this genocide might finally be at the beginning of an end -- but what comes now?

BREAKING: Israel’s government just approved the first phase of the ceasefire deal and a ceasefire is supposed to go into effect immediately.

Israel killed at least 29 Palestinians today, according to Al Jazeera.

CNN headline: Israeli government approves Gaza ceasefire resolution

CNN article screenshot reads: Where things stand
• JUST IN: Israel's government has approved the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage release resolution, according to the prime minister's office. Officials have said the ceasefire will take effect
immediately.
• US presence: The United States is sending 200 troops to be on the ground to monitor the plan's implementation, a senior US official said. "No US troops are intended to go into Gaza," another official said.

Al Jazeera update reads: Four killed al-Sabra attack, bringing day's death toll to 29: Wafa

The Palestinian news agency has reported that four people have been killed in the Israeli attack we've been reporting in the Sabra neighbourhood in Gaza City.
That brings the day's death toll in Gaza to 29, according to the news agency, despite the ceasefire breakthroughs.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Israel just illegally intercepted six Canadians in international waters. Here's what we know

Israel illegally intercepted another flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, detaining six Canadians in the process.

The government says it offered consular assistance.

But a contact for the three Newfoundlanders on board told me the support from the government has, largely, been “nothing.”

Mark Carney Is a Very Demanding Boss - Macleans.ca

His elbows-up enthusiasm won him the election. Now he’s governing like a Bay Street exec.

This is disgusting behaviour from Carney towards Karina Gould.

And frankly, coupled with the “boys club” stuff sources have previously told me and the way he tended to lose patience more quickly with female journalists during the campaign…he may need to “look inside himself.”

MACLEAN'S excerpt:

The attacks were genteel compared to most political mud-slinging, and Liberals warmed to her during the campaign. They embraced her as both a cherished member of the
Liberal family and, increasingly, the standard bearer for its left flank. But her needling got under Carney's skin, even though he was the front-runner (she ultimately received only three per cent of the vote). He and his staff made their irritation plain; one member of Gould's team told me that many of them were aggressive in their vitriol toward her.

MACLEAN'S excerpt continued:

“When someone from Gould's team texted to ask if she could stop by and congratulate the winner, Carney said no. In fact, according to one source I spoke with, he said he didn't ever want to see her again. Carney's staff sent Gould a non-committal answer, trying not to offend her, but she showed up anyway. That led to a brief, awkward meeting with Carney.
The incident rattled some of the people around the newly elected leader. Many had worked under Justin Trudeau, who, after a lifetime in politics, had skin like a crocodile.
Carney, after years of being celebrated, venerated and treated with the deference accorded to a titan of the financial world, seems to have a skin like a peach.”
