It's so important we keep talking & learning about this pervasive issue in our society. There's lots to learn about accountability, healing & prevention but most of the discussions focus on the people & institutions directly involved. Here's what I've felt has been missing from the conversation.

Carney's first-ever project designated as being in the “national interest" is...a crude oil pipeline.
That means the oil pipeline can bulldoze past environmental laws, impact assessments, and Indigenous consultation. It can also kill all of Vancouver's orcas.

To this end, his new omnibus bill casts the right to strike as an obstacle to the “national interest” — and organized labor as a barrier to national strength rather than its foundation.
