Has it always been @octranspo.comβs policy to attempt to run cyclists off the road when navigating shared lanes or is this a recent change the public hasnβt been informed of?

βWe 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. We turned around to get our belongings and we saw that blood was spraying everywhere. Someoneβs hand had fallen on the floor, a head had fallen on the floor,β said Shahin, a witness who had been at the cafe and asked to be identified by first name only. βThere were scalps torn off, hands severed, a few people were laying here all cut up and two people were martyred.β
βOne hit and it wasnβt that bad but when the second one hit, suddenly everything exploded. The windows all shattered. Whoever had hookahs were thrown to the floor,β Shahin said. βOne of my friends whom I donβt know that well he was sitting here. His hookah was in his hands until the last moment. He was severed in half. Half of him was thrown to the side. I put him back together and placed him where he was. A piece of his brain was thrown here on the floor.β
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.
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. Itβs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
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!
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 itβs FAFO time.
Spot-on statement from @unifor.org, Canadaβs largest private-sector union:
Eating the viral General Tsoβs poutine. God I love multiculturalism
CUPE is outraged by the United Statesβ 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.
Top executives in Canada earn 248 times more than the average worker #inequality @policyalternatives.ca globalnews.ca/video/115997...
DHS: This is OUR Hemisphere, and President Trump will not allow our security to be threatened.
Itβs hard to be much clearer than that when articulating a statement of imperialist (even colonialist) intent.
32 Cuban personnel killed in Trumpβs attacks on Caracas. You'd have to assume Cubans in Venezuela were specifically targeted
Canadians understand that the USβs kidnapping of Maduro is not just about Venezuela, itβs 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?
I like a gigantic union bug as well
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.

Carneyβs weak response to Trumpβs attempt at regime change at the behest of oil corporations is predictable. When a government like Carneyβs and Ebyβsβwhich cares only about enriching fossil fuel executivesβare faced with the hard choices, theyβll 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.
Abajo el imperialismo yanqui en las Americas y todo el mundo

- 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
