Avi Lewis on Stelco: "The CEO has admitted on CBC that he bought this company in order to take out the competition for his U.S. steel mills. And now he's violating the law by by laying off hundreds of workers potentially right before Christmas. This is obscene."

This is a great video by @avilewis: it showcases the real damage privatization and union-busting have on our communities and economy

Canada's unions passed a resolution calling on workers to refuse to handle weapons and military equipment destined for Israel.
We stand with Palestinian workers in their fight for peace, justice, and respect for international law.

I fully agree with the core argument here. Bradford was a serious contender and was backed by powerful interests, some of the best strategists and a united front with no vote splitting. Olivia's historic win is even more impressive given those factors.
To all the Chow supporters tempted to dunk on Bradford. Give the Mayor some credit! The story of last night is not that Bradford under-performed, it's that the Mayor over-performed.
Last night, @BradMBradford won 404,013 votes.
For context:
Rob Ford in 2010: 383,501
John Tory in 2014: 394,775
John Tory in 2018: 479,659
John Tory in 2022: 342,158
I know your entire identity is about hating anyone to the right of Fidel Castro but it's making you miss what is a very positive story for your team.

The American CEO who bought Stelco is openly admitting that he purchased the company to sabotage it.
This is why the Liberals should have never approved Stelco's sale in the first place. When you give away ownership of a critical industry like steel, your economy is forever under another's thumb.
There is only one solution that will save these jobs and put Canada back in the driver's seat: we need to nationalize Stelco.

More people voted for Olivia Chow to be mayor than Albertans voted to separate from Canada.
Noise on social media is just that: noise. These people get followers, RTs, but their genuine influence, the issues they complain about are not real.

I am incredibly inspired by so many incredible people who were elected, those too who challenged power but came up short, and volunteers, citizens who wore their hearts on their sleeves and dared to talk politics in their communities. We are better for it.

We could have had a they/them lesbian mayor 4 years ago and I think about that loss every single day.

A socialist who's gone above and beyond for renters and families in our ward has just been elected in YSW! Congratulations @chipadovani!

A huge congratulations to @oliviachow and the incredible slate of progressive councillors elected in Toronto tonight.
This win goes beyond any one person or campaign — it’s the result of years of movements organizing together, from tenant unions to climate activists, migrant rights advocates and those on the front lines of harm reduction. You mobilized and knocked on every last door to make this happen.
Tonight, you’ve secured a better future for Toronto together.

A pivotal moment in Lula's life
Fidel, the Cuban revolutionary, took Lula to task for considering ending his career after failing to become São Paulo's governor
"Listen, Lula. You don't have the right to abandon politics, to do this to the working class. Get back into politics"

The crowd is audibly upset when @LDoerkson speaks kindly about indigenous peoples

The right knows how to channel the legitimate rage of working class people. The problem is where they direct that rage.
It’s not immigrants and trans kids making your life impossible. It’s the bankers and the billionaires with all the wealth and power. It’s time to put the blame where it actually belongs.
