Has it always been @octranspo.com’s policy to attempt to run cyclists off the road when navigating shared lanes or is this a recent change the public hasn’t been informed of?

β€œWe were sitting here around 8:00-8:30 p.m. and suddenly there was the noise and explosion. We got up and a few people ran away.

Please take a moment to read about the absolute horror inflicted on a Tehran neighbourhood by the US/Israel in a double-tap strike against civilians. 20 people murdered.

UFCW 1518 has written to the Jim Pattison Group about the decision to sell a Pattison-owned warehouse for conversion into an ICE processing facility.

We stand firmly against practices that dehumanize people anywhere β€” including the harms reported by victims impacted by ICE.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Coherent but hypocritical to the core. Greer likes the intellectual property rights and services rules and they will use every US power to coerce other countries to maintaining THOSE rules, in the name of avoiding being coerced by competitors.

Saying your country was dragged into a 20-year quagmire of an illegal occupation where occupation forces raped, extrajudicially murdered, and tortured civilians is not the Trump own you think it is!

From Hamilton to Today: Trade and U.S. Economic Strategy As Prepared for Delivery on January 20, 2026 The Hamiltonian Economic System That Too Many Have Forgotten

USTR Jamieson Greer is the brain to Trump's pinky.

While Trump raves and utters threats, here is Greer at Davos laying out a coherent vision for the next stage of US imperialism, citing Hamilton, List, Bismark, Krugman, Keynes, and Robinson:

"nostalgia is not a strategy" is such a correct line you'd never think it'd come from a political opponent (arch Centrist International ideologue Prime Minister Mark Carney)

Carney is wrapping war capitalism and tax cuts for the ultra-rich in the Canadian flag. Looks new but is the latest attempt to protect the global neoliberal financial order.

American commentators and right wing politicians are expressing shock that countries they have repeatedly threatened with invasion, disrespected on the international stage, and economically bullied are forging new alliances.

Sorry guys, but it’s FAFO time.

CUPE is outraged by the United States’ unlawful and lethal attack on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. We are shocked that the U.S. military bombed this sovereign nation. This is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.

It’s hard to be much clearer than that when articulating a statement of imperialist (even colonialist) intent.

Canadians understand that the US’s kidnapping of Maduro is not just about Venezuela, it’s about all of us in the Americas and our right to peace and sovereignty. Does Mark Carney and the rest of the Canadian political class understand it?

Canada must condemn imperialist aggression and kidnapping in Venezuela.

This escalating pattern of lawlessness, which also manifests in attacks on Canada's own sovereignty, nevertheless finds the Canadian government actively complicit.

Carney’s weak response to Trump’s attempt at regime change at the behest of oil corporations is predictable. When a government like Carney’s and Eby’sβ€”which cares only about enriching fossil fuel executivesβ€”are faced with the hard choices, they’ll choose corporate power over working people. #bcpoli

i guess "everyone is 12 theory" also applies to "the united states has noble goals in mind for the venezuelan people" and "bombing a foreign country is a trumpian break from an otherwise just US foreign policy"

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Servile, cowardly, and tepid words from the Government of Canada in the face of the most blatant violation ever of the post-Nuremberg system of state sovereignty by a self-described dictator.

- Force taxpayers to spend $6M on an anti-communist memorial
- turns out 60% of your 'victims of communism' are Nazis, one being responsible for the execution of over 350 Latvian Jews
- end up with no names on your victims of communism memorial, turning the monument into pro-communist art
