This app sucks. It hasnt been useable in a long time, and it just keep getting worse. It's infested with fascists, the algorithm prioritizes garbage engagement-bait, and it's no longer possible to get quality information.
Go follow me on bluesky.

The neo-Nazi Gabriel Chaput has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for his role in spreading anti semitic hate. This wouldn’t have been possible without the work of Jon Milton and @ShannonCarranco on this investigative series we published in 2018. montrealgazette.com/news/loc…

The CAQ is trying to remove the right to lease transfers—one of the only tools we have to keep rent affordable. Their proposed law would give landlords huge new discretionary power.
If you want to know what's going on here, read this piece by @SavannahMTL

Lease transfers are the last line of defense keep rents low. If the CAQ guts them, Montréal rents will look like Toronto or Vancouver.
This is not a drill. This is war against tenants—from a former-real estate agent housing minister, connected to the landlord lobby. Class war.

Solidarity with the 155,000 @psac_afpc members going on strike.
Better staffing levels and better wages means better public services for us.

Nearly a quarter of Montrealers don't have electricity because of the ice storm—I haven't for 24 hours. This is a climate-driven infrastructure failure on a mass scale.
So a reminder that, just a few months ago, the CAQ refused to create a new climate adaptation fund for cities.
13 Sep 2022
François Legault dit non à la demande des villes qui veulent 2 milliards $ pour l'adaptation aux impacts de la crise climatique. Précision: avec ou sans réduction des GES, le Québec sera frappé de plein fouet par la crise. L'adaptation compte pour seulement 5% des fonds du PEV.

Holy hell. Radio-Canada reporting that the six dead people on the Canada-US border were migrants. CBC reports one child had a Canadian passport.
This is a few days after the Roxham Road closure while Biden and Trudeau met in Ottawa. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle…

“If this gvt was serious about housing affordability, it would rein in rental markets and directly finance the construction and acquisition of large amounts of non-market housing. This #budget2023 doesn’t do that”–@ricardo_tranjan @ccpa monitormag.ca/articles/a-hit…

➡️Big new climate spending—but almost entirely corporate tax handouts
➡️Expansion of dental care, no trace of pharmacare
➡️No money for social housing or starving public transit
➡️No fixes for health care

There isn't a housing crisis in Canada, @ricardo_tranjan argues in this provocative 110-page book.
More accurately, we have "a poorly regulated market that extracts income from working-class people and channels it to higher-income segments of Canadian society."
Out May 2nd.

Trudeau and Biden are shutting down Roxham Road and all (legal!) irregular crossings at the US-Canada border—closing the door for tens of thousands of refugees. People will die.
@MiriLafontaine spoke to @hussansk and @SolidariteMTL about it for @ccpa.

A tax-evading landlord partnered with a sleazy real estate hustler to illegally turn apartments into fire-hazard filled AirBnBs. Last week the building burned down. One person is dead, six missing.
Incredible reporting by @ZacharyKamel for @ricochet_en.

These two worked together to evict long-term tenants to set up short term rentals and boost profits. Now people are dead.
Emile-Haim Benamor is the landlord. Tariq Hasan is the AirBnB manager. They are murderers. Put them in prison and ban AirBnB for good.

TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) is trying to sue the US government for $15 billion in a soon-dead NAFTA investor court for having the audacity to say no to Keystone XL. If Canada actually cares about climate goals, it should intervene. @StuJT explains:

Unions, progressives and the labour movement needs to support permanent resident #StatusForAll instead of blaming im/migrants for low-wages or using services. Especially with more anti-refugee racism and potential to win regularization.

Workers' wages aren't just about "supply and demand in the labour market," they're about power. Winning permanent residency for migrant workers would be a massive win for every worker in the country—migrant or not. Great piece by @hussansk for @CCPA monitormag.ca/articles/incre…

Canada's immigration system is designed to exploit migrant workers. But despite having the deck stacked against, them, those workers are fighting and winning. From workplaces to national campaigns, migrant workers are some of the fiercest fighters in the labour movement today.
