Zohran was polling at 6% in January. Cuomo and his supporters spent tens of millions to defeat him. And yet he won.
Our movements are stronger than their money.

This is foul and horrifying. They’re willing to treat Greta like this, knowing her reach and voice.
Now think of how they must treat detained Palestinians.
Free the Palestinian hostages.

🇺🇳 🇵🇸 BREAKING: The United Nations voted 142-10 in support of establishing a Palestinian state.

When Mark Carney's team invited the Project 2025 architect to speak to cabinet, it wasn't just the Canadian public that was angry.
Some of those infuriated voices came from within the party.
I spoke with several Liberals, including sitting MPs, under the condition of anonymity so they could speak freely:
I'm sorry, WHAT? cbc.ca/news/politics/kevin-r…

I’ve had flights delayed longer than they were allowed to strike.

Air Canada Suspends Plans to Restart Operations after CUPE Defies CIRB Directive to Return to Work: aircanada.com/media/air-cana…

I struggle to understand the long-term strategy of major Canadian firms who reap billions in sales, get massive public COVID-19 grants, lavish executives with bonuses, and pay so little that workers use food banks and sleep in cars.

I struggle to understand the long-term strategy of major Canadian unions. Striking at disruptive times erodes public trust and confidence, rather than building leverage.
Many Canadians abandoned Canada Post. Air Canada risks losing customers permanently.
- Air Canada, 2025: Strike during peak summer travel.
- Canada Post, 2024: Strike during peak holiday mail.
- Federal Public Service, 2023: Strike removed CRA workers during tax season.

this was the wrong move by Carney and his government and the first one in which large swathes of the public will notice (Modi embrace & slashing of WAGE wrong moves too, but those went largely unnoticed by gen pop)
Air Canada’s striking flight attendants have been ordered back to work by Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu, who has directed the CIRB to move both sides into binding arbitration. #cdnpoli

Far-right authoritarian actors target gender data –because it’s powerful. 📊 It strengthens institutions, promotes accountability, and counters disinformation.

Mr. Prime Minister,
Without real, meaningful action like a full arms embargo and sanctions against Netanyahu and his government, your words are meaningless.
Canada’s complicity in this genocide now rests on your shoulders.
Cuts like these will gut programs that protect the most vulnerable – from housing and healthcare to 2SLGBTQ supports and sexual assault centres, these services are essential.
Tell your MP to REVERSE the cuts now ➡️ win.newmode.net/actioncanada…
The Government of Canada is planning to dismantle the backbone of gender equality. Let's demand a healthier, fairer Canadian economy that works for everyone. Click the link to share your voice.

Another strongly worded finger wagging with no concrete action.
Shocking to see our prime minister acknowledge Israel’s violation of international law but still not announce sanctions, a real two-way arms embargo, recognition of a Palestinian state….ANY actual action.
Canada condemns the Israeli government’s failure to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
Israel’s control of aid distribution must be replaced by comprehensive provision of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations. Many of these are holding significant Canadian-funded aid which has been blocked from delivery to starving civilians. This denial of humanitarian aid is a violation of international law.
Canada calls on all sides to negotiate an immediate ceasefire in good faith. We reiterate our calls for Hamas to immediately release all the hostages, and for the Israeli government to respect the territorial integrity of the West Bank and Gaza.
Canada supports a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians. Canada will work intensively in all fora to further that end, including through the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the UN High-Level Conference on a Two-State Solution in New York next week.

A wise female friend said to me this morning that every woman knows someone who has been raped. Yet somehow no man knows a rapist. We’ve got a long way to go.

BREAKING: @rechievaldez is the new Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Secretary of State for Small Business and Tourism.
Feminist advocacy made this happen ✨

All eyes focused on PM Carney's cabinet announcement and a potential WAGE Ministerial role 🤞🏿
If this ends up a win for the sector, that mandate letter will absolutely be combed with a fine tooth comb.
Will this role be feminist or not?

The Conservative Party platform includes 4 mentions of women. 3 of those are related to an anti-trans policy.
That says everything that needs to be said about the Conservative Party and gender equity.
