I'm going to make it easy for you, like you're children. The Truckers for Freedom Convoy is NOT a "working class movement", it's a capitalist tantrum. Being "blue collar" is not synonymous with "working class". Employers are not working class. #GoHomeConvoy #FluTruxKlanGoHome

Would you help me tweet this around the world? Kindness matters But kindness does not = justice Civility counts But civility is not the humane response to injustice Justice is Love is essential But love is not a passive, weeping bystander Love puts in work. #MLKDay

Are service industry employees entitled because they're asking for benefits and basic respect on the job? We asked these restaurant owners to find out
Restaurants can't find staff even with the CERB out of business. They say there's a cultural shift. "Now there’s this kind of entitlement...it’s about doing the least and getting paid the most."

it’s a bit rich seeing the same business associations raising alarm about a “labour shortage” turning around and trying to deny workers a minimum wage increase which still falls short of a living wage.

Montreal spends $800M *each year* on police. This is nearly 6x the amount we spend on housing. Just last year, our police budget went up $15M while our housing budget went down $13M. I am so tired of city officials who don't prioritize our needs. #polmtl

Bear with me because this might sound kind of scary, but I really do think everyone should have stable, safe housing and healthy food, regardless of their wealth or income.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty happy to pay 50 cents more for a burger if it means the person making that burger doesn't have to work three jobs just to survive.

Internet guy: If we raise minimum wage, burgers will cost $20 and unemployment will go up. Literal Nobel-Prize-For-Economics-Winning guy: No.

Like the controversy around the term woke, the operation against gangs also enfolds a profound attack on Black cultural expression. https://t.co/TDb2kktQ5w w @TedRutland cc @CCUNESCO @CRRF @MatthewGreenNDP @CTVNews

It’s #CarolynBennettResign day today. Give me a hand and help try to trend it. UBCIC among other prominent First Nations and other Indigenous leaders have already called for @Carolyn_Bennett’s resignation. What’s the hold up @JustinTrudeau? #Wreckonciliation
