.@E_R_Sepulveda and @David_Moscrop are right, Canadians are working longer just to have a nice meal every once and awhile. We need an NDP that understands what it’s like to punch-in and count dollars at the checkout. https://t.co/xJUFJgA9BO

Rob Ashton speaks to the issues which matter the most to me. Unapologetically grounded class politics. Big ideas like sectoral bargaining could change everything in Canada and actually deliver those powerful pay checks those pretenders promise.
For decades, CEOs have been writing the rules. Corporate profits soared while workers' wages stagnated. It’s time to rewrite those rules. My Worker Power Plan puts power back where it belongs: in the hands of workers. Join our movement to make this plan a reality:

Is this white cis man claiming to be a victim of anti-black and anti-palestinian racism? Dude, you can't use other peoples' experiences with racism to claim it as your own. That's gross, and centres yourself in their struggles rather than centring them or the struggle itself.
Confront NDP’s racist foreign policy problem. Would it be racist for the NDP to exclude a white cis man who played Junior A hockey from its leadership race? Maybe so, if one considers it from a Haitian or Palestinian perspective. On November 10, I formally submitted to NDP

Note to care homes: My mum's youth was during the late 60s & early 70s. She loved Iron Butterfly, Hendrix, Joplin, and later loved listening to @Eminem, @RATMofficial, and Prodigy with her kids. Please. No more Edelweiss.

On #Kristallnacht Lilly Jacks & Ruth Jacks were children at the Berlin Jewish Girl's school, just behind the Neues Synagogue which they saw burning. Their school was surrounded by SA men. The teachers helped them flee through the attics. This summer we visited the school.
