ALT Graphic from CUPW reads “I [heart] posties!” In blue lettering.
ALT On Friday November 15th, 55 000 Postal Workers walked off the job in a strike demanding a living wage, sick days, vacation pay, better working conditions, job security, safety on the job, & an expansion of services (including postal banking). Canada Post is a vital institution that connects us across the country. We have all been struggling with the rising cost of living. On our campuses, we are seeing that young people have been finding it harder and harder to get by. Students become workers, & workers fight to raise the bar for us all. Standing with workers is an inherent part of our movement: all work is climate work.As Canada Post makes moves to increase days of service through lower-paid part-time & contract workers, increase working hours and delivery hours outdoors, and weaken employee pensions, we call on them to take action to improve the lives and conditions of their employees! We also call on the government to respect workers’ right to strike & not force a return to work.
ALT White heading on a blue background reads “What can you do?”. Below, white text reads “Tell Canada Post CEO Doug Ettinger that you support CUPW in negotiations, that the post office cannot cut its way to growth, and that it must agree to solutions that benefit everyone– including workers. Join a picket line near you! There is a map of picket line locations linked in the toolkit.There are also placard templates, window/door/mailbox signs, and social media graphics available for download. Learn more about CUPW’s proposals for new and expanded postal services through their Delivering Community Power campaign, including postal banking, affordable food delivery, and more!” In the bottom left corner is a red graphic reading “keep our post office public” and beside it white text reads “CUPW solidarity toolkit available in our bio!”
ALT White text on a red background reads “Canada is a petrol state”. There is a screenshot of a CBC article headline reading “RCMP national security unit monitored 'threats' linked to Wet'suwet'en anti-pipeline activism, records show” with the byline “Reports raise questions about scope of surveillance around ‘critical infrastructure,' sociologists say” and a photo of the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs. The Change Course logo is in the bottom right corner.
![The critical infrastructure unit is responsible for "capturing intelligence and assessing physical and cyber criminal threats." It collaborates with various other entities, including the private sector. Because what counts as ‘critical infrastructure’ isn’t clearly defined, the critical infrastructure unit has broad discretion to pre-emptively surveil people when it feels it is justified... and as Tia Dafnos (University of New Brunswick) says, there is always a way to ‘justify’ violating people’s civil liberties.” “A heavily censored, secret-marked report from the Federal Policing Threat Assessment Section dated Nov. 25, 2022: "On 2022/11/12 a group of seven (7) individuals participated in a climate march in solidarity with Wet'suwet'en people who are opposing the pipeline project [that] took place for a couple of hours in Montreal, QC. The group gathered outside Cabot Square Park before walking to C Division RCMP Headquarters and then to RBC Westmount Branch.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GdBFfbeXcAA4gzQ.jpg?name=orig)

ALT White text on a black background reads “To be clear, that the police are keeping tabs on land defense and environmental movements is not shocking or unexpected. Settler-colonial states like so-called Canada are always threatened by Indigenous People asserting their rights. The RCMP has long acted as the enforcement arm for extractive industry, and they have an interest in controlling dissent if it could spark bad publicity. This is confirmation of what we already knew: that police resources being used to protect corporations and their financial interests in the name of ‘national security’.” Below is a photo of Chief Na'Moks facing towards RBC headquarters.
