Living wages aren't properly calculated. In Vancouver living wage is said to be $20.52 but average one bed rent is $2200 a month. W/ Utilities. $2500 a month. You are supposed to spend 25% of your income on housing. So you need an income of 120k a year or $57.69 an hour net.

Lemonade Stand Day in Edmonton is the best, my daughter Lola had pneumonia over Christmas and the Stollery took amazing care of her. When I told my kids there were 600 stands they asked if they could do all of them, so that’s been the day.

Patty Hadju said she had not heard the allegations about unpaid work with Air Canada Flight Attendants… but she sat in the 44th parliament when Bill C415 was introduced, listen until the end. #aircanada #flightattendant #pattyhadju #cdnpoli #CUPE #canada_life🇨🇦

Air Canada was never bargaining in good faith. They assumed Section 107 would be used immediately. Making no provisions for stranded passengers. Does this sound like someone who deserves 12M in compensation? No plan, just weaponizing the government against workers.

As the media will start to roll out anti union sentiment today, saying how reasonable the Air Canada offer is and how greedy the union is. Here is a reminder that sacrifices by the FA have already been made for 20 years and these are 10 year contracts. This is their only chance.

Now introducing the Liberal Governments Federal Employer Pass!. Worried job action will eat into your profits? Worry no more! . With the FEP we guarantee you don’t need to bargain and that we can force arbitration at the first sign of any action. Only if you want it though!

Good. Solidarity with them all.

What the actual F. If Canada was any other country we would be screaming from the hilltop how inappropriate this is. It screams collusion at all levels. This is not fair to the Flight Attendants of Air Canada having their employers past legal council decide if they can strike.

What’s the expression? If you’re explaining in politics, you’re losing. I really think the use of section 107 is going to hurt the Liberals and I see people from all sides standing in support with Air Canada Flight Attendants.

Shame on the federal jobs minister. If you have this much power over what is a private enterprise since it was sold off what right do you have denying workers their right to strike? We didn’t even have the decency to buy AC when they got bailed out but still dictate the workers.

The Canadian Government does not have a minister of labour and this happens. This government does not respect labour. This government needs to read a room. The support for FA was overwhelming. Binding Arbitration seldom is in favour of the workers.

Oh hey a petition .

My friends who are Air Canada Flight Attendants are posting things like this. Solidarity with them all. The average FA works 30 hours a month unpaid. This practice needs to end here and now.

The average full time Flight Attendant works 25-35 hours a month unpaid. Could you imagine working 30 hours a month without pay?.

Air Canada workers are going on strike and we have no federal Minister of Labour… . I’m worried this means the federal government won’t come to any table and force arbitrations and deals in favour of the corporation. Who is the voice of workers in Ottawa?.

As the rules and timeline for the Federal NDP leadership have come out, it has made me reflect on what type of leader I hope to see emerge when the race happens.

I was fortunate enough to meet Chris Smalls this April and to hear that he was assaulted and detained upon trying to bring aid in Palestine is beyond acceptable. Free Chris Smalls.
