To everyone who cheerleaded Carney's faux speech in Davos & posturing as independent middle power -

His atrocious statement today backing US-Israeli attacks on Iran make clear that he & Canada are firmly aligned with dominant imperial interests.

And he did so while shaking hands with Modi in India

They’ve been claiming Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons for as long as I can remember. The US isn’t even bothering to come up with a different lie than the one they used to sell the Iraq war. Except this time the Canadian government is supporting them.

The US has declared Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat", authorising new sanctions and tightening its illegal blockade.

Trump is trying to starve Cuba into submission β€” and millions of people will suffer.

This is economic warfare, plain and simple. Hands off Cuba!

CJPME is alarmed that Carney has accepted in principle an invitation to join Trump’s so-called β€œBoard of Peace,” which aims to oversee the governance of occupied Gaza. CJPME urges Carney to decline any role for Canada in the colonial outsourcing of Israeli occupation.

Donald Trump has not assembled a β€œBoard of Peace” for Gaza.

He has assembled a Board of Occupation.

The future of Gaza is not up to Trump, Blair or Netanyahu.

That is up to the Palestinian people.

#RosaLuxemburg and #KarlLiebknecht were murdered on this day in 1919. We take their enormous contributions to the struggle for socialism into the decisive battles we face today.

American companies did not build Venezuela’s oil industry.

Venezuelan workers built it.

⚠️ The Vice President of Venezuela has spoken by phone to a Venezuelan television news channel.

She confirmed that Venezuelan President Maduro’s whereabouts are unknown, demanded proof of life for Maduro from Trump, and called the people of Venezuela to the streets.

The United States has no authority, legal or moral, to go to war with Venezuela. Trump is using our military to invade and attack another country under false pretenses. Does anyone remember what happened the last time the U.S. government did that?

πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn our lost siblings and call for justice. Trade unions have a duty to defend trans workers. An injury to one is an injury to all.

Trans Awareness Week reminds us that inclusion isn’t optional.

Trans workers deserve respect, safety, fair treatment, and to see themselves represented in our movement.

Unions fight for justice. That includes fighting for trans rights.

This is really, really bad.

Do you really need to rub elbows with Nazis to know thy enemy? Do people not see that these are fascist grifters who created an authoritarian hellhole and are now selling how-to advice to the opposition?

Nothing about this is defensible.

Liberals have been ordering workers in the Federal sector back to work for decades. Ask any postal worker! They really do hate unions.
But you're right, we had no real choice....

If you see someone stealing food, ask yourself a simple question. Who really belongs behind bars, the person who took the food or price gouging #billionaire who owns the supermarket?
