Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) leadership says all workers in a legal strike position will strike Wednesday if they don’t reach an agreement by 9 p.m. ET Tuesday.
Its bargaining groups — one of about 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) workers, the other of about 120,000 staff spread across more than 20 departments and agencies — each moved into legal strike positions last week after strike votes.
Behold the kleptocracy.
Pete Buttigieg, our Transportation Secretary, hates roads.
He has a point, though: roads are racist. They hate Black and Indigenous people. They hate Black people so much that they kill them at higher rates than White people.

An internal report by Veterans Affairs Canada is raising red flags over the country’s military graves and cemeteries, warning that more permanent funding is needed to keep them from falling into disrepair.
The report is the result of an internal audit following up on a similar review six years ago. At that time, nearly 45,000 out of the estimated 207,000 graves of Canada’s veterans were in a state of disrepair because of a lack of resources.

In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, set to be broadcast on Monday and Tuesday night, Musk made the startling claims noting how he was shocked to learn that the government had full access to private communications on the platform.

I wonder if this is true of Canada.

Pointless considering no one will volunteer to serve in Trudeau’s Tranny Brigade.
Around 50 police officers have been drafted in to keep two crowds of protesters separate at a Kellie-Jay Keen rally in Belfast today – just weeks after the women’s rights campaigner was pelted with tomato sauce in New Zealand.
Hundreds of people gathered in the Donegall Quay area of the city centre on Sunday afternoon to hear Keen, also known as Posie Parker, calling counter-protesters ‘f***ing deranged’.
Parker, who has repeatedly said she is ‘not a feminist’, addressed the ‘Let Women Speak’ demonstration beside the city’s ‘Big Fish’ landmark.

The head of Russia’s mercenary Wagner group caused a stir by saying that an end to the war in Ukraine would be an “ideal result.”
Yevgeny Prigozhin made the remark in a blog post published Friday that has only now come to light.
