Like if your vegan anarchist grandma and vegan anarchist dad were the same person.
I am an engineer (closer to toot toot then clicky clacky) cosplaying as a farmer in unceded aninstanabe territory in eastern ontario.
Pronouns: she/they
Maybe the real vegan theory club were the friends we made along the way ✨
I say this with kindness: what do your comments add to the discussion? Sometimes people just want to vent. It’s cool. Just scroll past.
Why didn’t I scroll past your comment? Because I thought it might be useful to remind people to shut the fuck up.
Comrade, organizing online is fraught in the best of times but I think people are hyper aware of the risks of talking about these things online right now.
Air Canada (AC.TO), flight attendants want to make gains on unpaid work that go beyond recent advances secured by their U.S. counterparts, a union leader said on Wednesday, in a fresh test of the way airlines compensate cabin crews.
…
New labor agreements at American Airlines (AAL.O), and Alaska Airlines (ALK.N), legally require carriers to start the clock for paying flight attendants when passengers are boarding, not when the flight starts to taxi down the runway. Those gains came after Delta Air Lines (DAL.N), whose flight attendants are not in a union, instituted boarding pay for its cabin crew at half of their hourly wages in 2022 when they were trying to organize.
Two criticisms that come to mind are:
(Before you hit reply please remember OP didn’t ask for an discussion on if these are real or correct - just what some of the criticisms are. I’m not saying I buy into either of them.)
Am I having a stroke?? I’m really missing where she entered canada illegally. People keep saying she did but I don’t think it says that anywhere. Can someone help me out?
My understanding is that she’s a NZ citizen, which means she doesn’t need a visa to enter canada.
Edit: canada sucks too and they absolutely detain children in horrific conditions for indeterminate amounts of time too, but people saying they made the states do the dirty work for them here, I don’t get it.
What permit to go to Canada?
Borders are violence.
It wasn’t again the laws of Canada for her to be there, but she tried to enter the US after violating the conditions of her permit.
I’m defending the existence of the border, but your take doesn’t really make sense.

Yes, it is still being formed. It’s a super slow process.
It was successfully appealed in 2008, if we’re being picky.
The appeal was based in the fact that the judge found that the basis upon which a regulation was made (i.e. the position that the states is a safe country) does not have to be absolutely correct, so long as the gov considered if it might be true.
(See: https://decisions.fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/decisions/en/item/36041/index.do)
[57] Understanding precisely what is in issue in a judicial review application is important when it comes time to determine the standard of review as well as the scope of the review that can be conducted by the Court. An attack aimed at the vires of a regulation involves the narrow question of whether the conditions precedent set out by Parliament for the exercise of the delegated authority are present at the time of the promulgation, an issue that invariably calls for a standard of correctness.
…
[60] Despite this language, the matter raised by the application is a pure vires issue (see the relevant part of the application for judicial review quoted at paragraph 15 above).
…
[78] Subsection 101(2) does not refer to “actual” compliance or compliance “in absolute terms” nor does it otherwise specify the type and extent of compliance contemplated. However, Parliament has specified the four factors to be considered in determining whether a country can be designated. These factors are general in nature and are indicative of Parliament’s intent that the matter of compliance be assessed on the basis of an appreciation by the GIC of the country’s policies, practices and human rights record. Once it is accepted, as it must be in this case, that the GIC has given due consideration to these four factors, and formed the opinion that the candidate country is compliant with the relevant Articles of the Conventions, there is nothing left to be reviewed judicially. I stress that there is no suggestion in this case that the GIC acted in bad faith or for an improper purpose.
I mentioned it was challenged back then to demonstrate that it’s been known to be problematic since the beginning.
If we want to follow along with the details there have been further challenges, started in 2017, which were on the basis that it violated the charter. The courts agreed in 2020, but again it was appealed and the court gave it’s ruling in 2023: https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/19957/index.do
I remember watching Trudeau respond to this in 2020, when he was doing his daily appearances from the governor generals cottage.
I’m not trying to shame anyone for not knowing, I get that there is a lot going on in the world and people are struggling in an individual basis too. But it really shocks me when are surprised that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows and open arms. I actually learned about it in 2017, when the PM was on TV saying canada would welcome people. Not if they are being deported from the US, I guess 🤷🏻♀️
Oh, they are very aware. The STCA has been before the courts a few times. You can read about it here: https://ccrweb.ca/en/safe-third-country
Folks have been suing the gov about the Safe Third a country agreement since 2005 - opposition isn’t new. And yes, the courts did strike it down but the gov appealed, and it’s still under review.
The govs website about the agreement even includes a section on why the US is considered a safe country.
I think assuming they are ‘behind the curve’ is … generous.
Cops don’t exist to protect you and they don’t have to be physically fit to serve their purpose: using the threat of violence and the prison industrial complex to protect the interests of capital.
Shut the fuck up refers to talking to cops or even about your activities/plans in public. I wasn’t saying you can’t vent.
