I stand in solidarity with flight attendants and indeed ALL workers. Repeal the abusive use of section 107 of the labour code. #fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #politics #flightattendants #union #cupe

Avi Lewis takes questions after speech at CUPE convention.

He speaks of:
- Carney "flooding the zone". That being, bombarding people with a myriad of right wing initiatives.
- Steven Guilbeault being indicative of how far right Carney has moved.
- The NDP policy against floor crossing.
- The NDP's history with labour, and the contrast with the NDP and the CPC.
- proposal for a public option for groceries.

Loved ones in long-term care paying the price of strike: family
As the strike by long-term care workers in Nova Scotia enters its sixth week, many family members are having to pitch in to help loved ones living in care homes. The province and CUPE insist residents are being properly cared for, but a woman whose 75-year-old dad lives in a Dartmouth nursing home disagrees.
