Ms Notley: Well, Mr. Speaker, the teachers quoted in the news today made it very clear that they were cut out of the process and their feedback was not incorporated. They say that the curriculum isn’t developmentally appropriate, let alone racially appropriate. “I wouldn’t serve that to anyone, least of all these children I love and care about.” This UCP curriculum has been overwhelmingly rejected by school boards, teachers, parents, education experts, and students. Who exactly does he expect will teach it, his own caucus? God forbid.

Mr. Kenney: Well, Mr. Speaker, you know what? What the Grinch over there needs to understand is that we committed to an open and transparent process. The NDP wouldn’t tell us who their left-wing ideologues were that were writing their politicized curriculum, a curriculum that said nothing about Canadian history, Alberta history, our military history, the rule of law, Confederation, a curriculum that saw constant declines in numeracy, in standardized test score outcomes.

Last week the federal government introduced a new piece of legislation, C-58, which is aimed at banning the practice of employers bringing in replacement workers during a contract dispute. Experts say the legislation is the culmination of decades of work by the labour movement in Canada, while it also represents the fulfilment of a key demand in the Liberal-NDP confidence and supply agreement. Here's what you need to know about the new piece of legislation. What does the bill do? The bill has two main components. The first makes it illegal for employers in federally regulated industries to bring in replacement workers to continue operations previously executed by unionized employees during a legal strike or lockout. Federally regulated industries include sectors like banking and telecommunications, totalling over one million employees. Around a third of those employees are unionized, according to the federal government. The legislation does not, however, apply to the federal public service. The bill also sets out penalties for breaking the rules — $100,000 per day for employers — as well as some exceptions, such as for non-unionized contractors hired before notice of a lockout or strike, or in cases where there could be a threat to health and safety, property or the environment.

I've written to two parties in Ontario about antisemitism and antisemitic comments and garments.

I am told to be safe, to disregard my culture, my religion, my identity, so people who are prohamas don't kill me.

I spend my days in fear, in "one of most culturally diverse countries".

I wrote two parties (NDP and Conservatives) about their stance on letting a poltical statement be worn in a government hall. This garment I have never seen anyone wear before the terrorists attacked Israel so brutally.

The government doesn't understand that they can not do this, they can not let keffiyeh be worn in government institutions, like I can't wear anything that says "bring them home." That's so fucked up. It is a garment worn to incite fears into Jews and to cover your face. You're stand so proudly, yet cover your face. Cowards.

So if they allow this, I will be asking to speak in the House of Commons, wearing a shirt that says "let my people go!"

If this was really about palestine, the hostages would be back, war would be over.

You dont care about life, you just care about having an excuse to kill, assault, harass,bully, and worse to Jews.

Apparently we don't matter.

I sent video and picture evidence to support my case.

By not showcasing wins when and where they’re happening, labour is missing a chance to inspire workers to fight for what they deserve. [...] At present, 4,700 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) are on strike across 30 port terminals in British Columbia. These workers voted 99.24 per cent in favour of strike action and hit the picket line July 1. ILWU has a strong tradition of labour militancy, up and down the Western ports of North America. Should the union win its current demands around wages and protections against automation, job loss and outsourcing, it’s no stretch to say this will shape the direction of work in the industry heretofore.   At the time of writing, the federal labour minister, Seamus O’Regan, has asked a federal mediator for a recommended settlement to give a “forceful nudge” to push the union and the employers’ association over the finish line. While not the heavy-handed approach seen from this government in past labour disputes, the spectre of back-to-work legislation nevertheless looms. The supply and confidence agreement with the federal NDP renders the legislative hammer more politically sensitive than would be the case under a Trudeau majority government, but, with Liberals in power, it’s never out of reach. In Ontario, more than 3,700 workers at Metro Inc. across the Greater Toronto Area recently delivered 100 per cent support for a strike. These Unifor members could soon be on the picket line if their wage demands aren’t met. Then, of course, there were the historic strikes by more than 155,00 Public Service Alliance of Canada members and 55,000 CUPE Ontario education workers. Although neither strike resulted in awe-inspiring wage gains, in both cases the unions nevertheless won above-average pay raises. More importantly, they inspired workers across the country to ask for more, just as employers feared they would. And asking for more appears to be exactly what many union members are doing. Recent data from both Ontario and B.C. suggest that a number of unions are pushing for major wage gains at the bargaining table and, surprisingly, pulling it off.

“The Kingston Community Legal Clinic is warning residents after a Landlord and Tenant Board adjudicator decided a landlord was wrongfully attempting to evict their tenant.

“The landlord seeks possession of the rental unit so his mother can live there,” adjudicator Laura Hartslief wrote in her June 28 decision on the fate of Jason Martin’s home in the basement unit of 151 Fraser St. “I am not satisfied that it is more likely than not that she genuinely intends to live there.”

Jordan Morelli, a physics professor at Queen’s University who owns the rental unit, said he is devastated by Hartslief’s decision.

“It’s a complete outrage that we’ve lost this thing because I’ve been trying to get my parents here for two years,” Morelli said. “I really want my parents to be living in there.”

John Done of the Kingston Community Legal Clinic represented Martin at the Landlord and Tenant Board hearing. He said his clinic has seen a significant increase in evictions for landlords to renovate units or to use for their own use — which is what Morelli applied for. In many of those cases, but not all, landlords evict a tenant who is paying a lower rent, renovate the unit, and rent it out again for sometimes double the cost.

Done said that, at first, Martin was resigned to moving out, but when Done saw Martin’s case, he urged him to push back against Morelli.

“These are situations we see all of the time in a Landlord’s Own Use application, and our view is (that) once we start putting these under the microscope, a lot of them don’t have merit,” Done said. “Once Mr. Martin said he would accept our help, then there were, indeed, some things that sort of leaped off the page. … There were the hallmarks of these (types of) landlords’ applications that I don’t think they could show good faith.”

Martin, who on Wednesday said he still couldn’t believe he was successful, said Done worked wonders. Martin said, the stress of the case, which was drawn out over two years due to a scheduling overflow caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, has caused Martin to lose five jobs over the two years.

“When I got that decision, I actually had to leave work,” Martin, who has been working steadily at a local fishing tackle manufacturing company since the end of May, said excitedly. “I couldn’t believe it, and I was overwhelmed. I was shaking, I couldn’t talk, my brain went to mush. I’m very happy with the decision.”

Morelli owns a total of 10 units within five properties in Kingston. He said he wanted to use Martin’s apartment as a new home for his mother, Henriette Morelli, who currently lives in a two-bedroom condominium with her husband, Edwin Morelli, in Saskatoon.”

- Steph Crosier, “Tenant wins at board hearing,” Kingston Whig-Standard. Jul 11, 2022. This was a front page story in the print edition.

///

We are happy that this story is now out in the open for all to see. It won't be the last word on the matter, that's for sure. But it clearly demonstrates why Queen's University professor and faculty association president (as well as former president of the Kingston NDP riding association) Jordan Morelli's N12 eviction notice was thrown out at the LTB. In our opinion, what this stories reveals is that Morelli is willing to exploit the housing crisis for his own financial gain. 

Prior to this instance, there was two previous times where he claimed family members were moving in to units when they never did. He paid these tenants a meagre $3000, money which they quickly burned through with their rent prices hundreds of dollars a month higher. Meanwhile, he charged higher rents to the people moving in: one unit went from $409 to $1150 a month, while another went from $670 to $1200. He made that money back within months. 

Morelli wants to claim he is a victim in all this, and actually goes so far as saying that the landlord tenant laws works well for tenants. But the facts speak for themselves: The LTB rejected his case because they do not believe his story. Additionally, close to 90 percent of tenants at the LTB have no legal representation, and if it weren't for KUT and KCLC supporting Morelli's tenant, Morelli would most likely have someone living in Martin's unit's at double the rent. 

Tenants can win when they stand up and fight. Get to know your neighbours and organize with them! In Martin's case, former tenants stood with Martin to explain what had happened to them after moving out. This sort of solidarity led to Martin staying in his apartment at a rent price he can afford. KUT stands with tenants across the city and will do what we can to help.

- official statement of the Kingston / Katarokwi Union of Tenants, July 12, 2022 (Martin is a member)

/// The tenant union had helped several other tenants of Morelli, who had also been told they would have to move out of his own properties for the same reason of family need, and the communication between tenants allowed them to learn he was using the same line on several tenants - allowing the tenants to resist his efforts or negotiate for better accommodation to leave. Martin’s is the first official victory against this particular landlord, but likely won’t be the last. Of course, Morelli is a self-pitying landlord in all of this, being quoted in the article as saying: “Somehow I’m the bad guy in all of this; they’re trying to paint me as a villain.”  Morelli is hardly the worst landlord in Kingston, Ontario, and nowhere near as powerful as a rental company like Homestead. His tactics are typical of landlords everywhere. The reason why he acts the way he does, and can act the way he does, is at base a structural issue, in which housing is an investment and a means of accumulation rather than a basic right. But Kingston is a smallish town, with a proportionately smallish, vague, fragmented, and often dysfunctional ‘left’, so Morelli’s role has been controversial and increasingly divisive. Notably, it was discovered by the tenant union that his mother, who he has been claiming he was going to move into one of these vacated units, is a retired university professor who likely doesn’t want to live in a tiny basement apartment! 

As the press release from KUT notes, Morelli is a major player in the local political scene, as former riding president for the federal NDP, as secretary of the Kingston and District Labour Council (and had the temerity to send this article to other council members, even after the Council passed a pro-tenant motion!) and at Queen’s University, where he is a professor and head of the faculty association. In those roles, he is a bad faith opponent of tenant rights, student activism, grassroots unionism, and the left-wing of the NDP (as well as the small, overlapping and fractious autonomist, anarchist, communist and decolonial groups in the area). For instance, this was his response to the Ontario government, controlled by Conservatives, capping rent increases!

If there was any justice in the world or social democracy and labour unionism was not so pathetically degenerated, this kind of coverage should get him kicked out of the KDLC or NDP.

[dovahkiin-official]

Ontario voter here, usually NDP voter. I’m glad stuff went through the house to make some promises on Israel-Gaza, but at the same time, all I’m thinking about with the NDP is how they treated Sara Jana (Ontario MPP) for how she stood up for these same ideals. It really put me off them, and it was eye-opening to me as a new Canadian just how much political capture there is from Israel.

I’m conflicted, but I guess that a change in NDP policy, six months later, at least shows that there’s some flexibility in thinking and their ideals, but mostly I’m thinking about how it’s just pandering to populism - which is another conflicting idea, because parties and government SHOULD represent its citizens.

Not intending to sway thinking one way or another; I’m writing here to try and figure out my own thinking. A third party is important. I just don’t think it is as important to vote for a party as it is to vote for a person, unless we’re looking for tactical and strategic wins (ie blocking Tories or other parties with policies I disagree with).

What do you think?

I'm not really familiar with the Ontario candidates so I just looked up Sarah Jama just now. I find it unfortunate what happened. Back in October, it was very difficult to speak out against Israel compared to now. That doesn't make it right, but it does make more sense with that context. I'm glad the NDP have shifted their opinion on this. Populism? Perhaps, I agree with you there.

I think I agree with you on most things except strategic voting. The first time I voted it was for Trudeau because I didn't want Harper to win. I've come to regret that decision a lot, because I don't support a lot of the things he's done. I would rather vote for someone who will do things I find conscionable. In some cases, that might be an independent.

I think some concessions are expected when it comes to negotiating with the Liberals, and I think NDP has better odds of negotiating with them than an independent, but that's just my view on things.

The Conservatives Are Going to Win the Next Election

Perhaps the most remarkable responses in the Abacus poll were in answer to the question of whether the government had a “good plan, a bad plan, or no plan” to deal with a number of issues. On issue after issue – cost of living, housing, economic growth, immigration – few (25 per cent or less) were confident the government had a good plan. Larger numbers said they had a bad plan. But the largest single group in most cases believed they had no plan.

and

(Even today, while just 17 per cent of respondents told Abacus they believe the Liberals should be re-elected, another 33 per cent believe it’s “time for a change, but there isn’t a good alternative.” Still, 51 per cent believe “it’s time for a change,” whatever the alternative, which is telling enough.)

Barring anything really remarkable happening, the Conservatives are going to win. That's just the long and the short of it. The current housing crisis is just too much to overcome, and to be fair, the Liberals have done nothing at all to help. Jagmeet Singh's plan to help people is to give prospective home buyers more money, further inflating house prices and even further separating haves and have-nots. The left in this country is broken. The NDP isn't leftist, it's leftish at best.

If Poilievre has any sense, he'll ignore the transphobic and conspiracy theorist side of his party and not include the policies they voted on at the party convention. The younger people of the country are already with him, and they could rightfully make the point that while the Conservatives have some bad social policy, the lack of affordable housing affects trans people at least as badly as everyone else. It hits everyone including immigrants, people of colour, students, whatever group you could care to name. Healthcare is increasingly unavailable to everyone, let alone specialized healthcare that affirms one's gender.

It's honestly a nightmare—I don't think Conservatives will make a meaningful difference to housing in this country, but at this point people are willing to give ANYTHING a try in the hopes that things might get better, and I honestly cannot blame them.

When Stephen Harper was PM, it was easy for me to criticize the people voting for him as selfish and uninformed, willing to throw fellow citizens under the bus. But people need places to LIVE. I'm not going to castigate a 25 year old for thinking they deserve a place to rent or buy at a reasonable cost and turning to what seems to be the only port in a storm.

We knew the Liberal party was a busted, Neo-Liberal, corporatist party that threw scraps to the poor and benefitted the rich, but it's truly disappointing to see how lacklustre the NDP has been in the last couple of years.

I think we might be able to get away with a minority Conservative government if we're diligent and vote strategically, but I think that may be the best we can do.

Patients are losing Alberta’s public-private medical labs battle, November 1, 2023

Alberta’s medical labs have shifted between public and private delivery for decades, often depending on what party is in government, and now the province’s auditor general is investigating. CBC’s Christine Birak breaks down the medical and political saga that’s cost millions and had a negative impact on patient care. CBC News

@allthecanadianpolitics, @abpoli

I had my own brush with DynaLife three times in the last year, wait times and organization were horrendous at a lab that has always been high volume but was much better managed when they were public.

Their waiting room was not just crammed full, the wait times were so long they were paging people on their cell to return from their cars or from the mall across the way--some simply left without a word. Walk-ins alone were looking at least a hour seated wait time.

The single queue to check in was at least 30 minutes minutes standing, crammed in to the point people had to step out of the way of the doors. It included pregnant people, elderly, and others in need of priority with mobility aids and other conditions. Appointments were not immediately separated out from walk-ins or even simple drop off, the only instruction was for everyone to wait for the one person processing. Even when the line extended outside at the same location because of COVID social distancing it moved more efficiently.

There was clearly no regular process for stopping the line and refusing more patients despite this routinely being the case by the summer. While I was there one poor tech was delegated to end intake for the day early because they simply were overcapacity. After scrambling to make a couple signs to tape to the doors, they were completely ignored.

No one enforced a cutoff, the patients that were told they were the it remained silent or continued to open the door for more people. By the time staff reached what should have been the tail-end there was a a full queue again. I learned later that short of actually closing, policy was to continue to accept everyone in line and there was at least another hour after that to finish work and lock up.

This is one lab and next to one of the largest hospitals in Calgary, hospital internal labs and rural/community tests continued to be run by AHS's Alberta Precision (formerly Public) Labs. Only one instance that was relatively easy was right before the Christmas holiday when the transition to private was still new.

The technicians and phlebotomists were clearly struggling to do their best to keep the patients and their own morale up while understaffed and without the resources to preserve quality of service. I do not envy any of them being thrown the privatization curveball by the UCP and ultimately the people that voted to keep them in power, worse still for people that are depending on these services.

***

There is an entire history of neglect and privatization of Alberta's lab services under Conservative governments. Efforts by the Albertan NDP to consolidate, update, and expand the province's public lab services were quite literally bulldozed by Jason Kenney. Through the pandemic and now under Danielle Smith, the UCP has continued with plans to dismantle and portion off health care services, workers, and the facilities and now buying back our own labs, equipment, and employees less than a year later.

The motion – which passed 204-117 with the support of Liberals, Bloc Québécois and the Green party – also called on Canada to work “towards the establishment of the state of Palestine”. The successful vote late on Monday followed a last-minute deal between the Liberals and the NDP, which had previously called on the government to “recognize the state of Palestine”. The vote does not appear to change Canada’s position that Palestinian statehood should come as the result of a negotiated settlement with Israel. Canada previously said that while it had paused issuing military export permits to Israel, it was still assessing applications on “on a case-by-case basis”. While Trudeau has asserted a belief in Israel’s right to defend itself, he has become increasingly critical of Israel’s current assault on Gaza, which was launched after Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October. Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East called the motion “watered-down” in a statement, but said it represented a “small step forward for ending Canadian complicity in Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza”.

Ms Hoffman: With this bill the Premier encourages separatist chaos, which undermines Alberta’s economy and does nothing to address the affordability crisis and endangers our already under threat public health care system. The Premier has two choices. She can stand in this place and denounce the words of her flagship bill’s author, or she can admit that her separatist agenda is the real heart of her job-killing sovereignty act. [interjections]

The Speaker: Order. Order.

Ms Smith: Well, the name of the bill is the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act. It says right in the bill that this is about being within a united Canada.

Long-time labour leader Gil McGowan has officially entered the race to replace Rachel Notley.

McGowan, who has been president of the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL) for 19 years, is the fifth candidate vying for leadership of the Alberta NDP.

McGowan announced his leadership candidacy on social media earlier this week, adding that he has a poorly timed case of COVID-19 and has postponed campaign launch events and public appearances until he has recovered.

"It speaks volumes about the strength of the [Alberta NDP] that so many highly-qualified candidates are vying for leadership," McGowan wrote in a nod to his competitors.

McGowan said Saturday he was unable to do an interview due to illness. [...]
