Legislation 'once again strips workers of their rights to freedom of speech and collective bargaining': CUPW
Members of several unions, along with Canada Post workers, gathered Saturday at Liberal MP and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale's Regina office to protest the federal government's back-to-work legislation for the striking postal workers passed earlier this week.
Bev Ray, vice-president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers in Regina, said she hopes the protest sent a message.
Senators pass back-to-work legislation to end rotating postal strike
"We're not going to accept this archaic back-to-work legislation that once again strips workers of their rights to freedom of speech and collective bargaining," said Ray.

Two days ago, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was raising the Pride and Transgender Pride Flags on Parliament Hill along with Minister of Justice Jody Wilson-Raybould, Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale, Minister of Veteran Affairs Kent Hehr (not pictured), Special Advisor on LGBTQ2 Issues Randy Boissonault and Members of Parliament Dr. Hedy Fry, Scott Brison and Seamus O’Regan.
And yesterday, the Canadian Senate passed Bill C-16, protecting the rights of transgender and non-binary Canadians, prohibiting discrimination and criminalizing hate speech and hate crimes against transgender and non-binary people. It’s historic. It is a very important milestone, a vital step forward when we know trans people are the most discriminated against and also the most at risk within the LGBTQ coommunity; but as The Globe and Mail notes in this very good piece, it’s only the beginning in truly achieving equality for trans and non-binary people, and certainly not the time to stop fighting.
The Toronto Star also had a very good article on the importance of intersectionality back in May. If you don’t fight for Trans Rights, you don’t fight for Women’s Rights. Plain and simple, and don’t call yourself a feminist.
But on a happier note: YEEEESSSSSSS, CANADA!!!!!
Oh shit Ralph Gooddale is hot whoever he is!
Apparently, he's a Canadian diplomat and retired politician who has served as the Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.
I bet he'd be good to the last drop.
Jack Letts says going to Syria 'was probably the stupidest thing I've ever done'
Jack Letts, dubbed Jihadi Jack by the media after being accused of travelling to Syria to fight for ISIS, said he's not surprised Britain stripped him of his citizenship, and that he hopes to return to Canada.
"I've always felt I'm a mix. And I've been to Canada seven times and I spent a lot of time in Canada," Letts, 24, said in an exclusive interview with the U.K.-based ITV News that was published Monday. "My whole family's Canadian.
"I always expected Canada to help me and they didn't. I hope Canada does take me from here if they can."
On the weekend, Canada's Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale acknowledged reports that Letts, who grew up in Oxford, U.K., had his citizenship revoked, leaving him with just Canadian citizenship. "Canada is disappointed that the United Kingdom has taken this unilateral action to offload their responsibilities," the minister said in a statement.
Critics accuse Ralph Goodale of inaction and call for public inquiry, overhaul of national police force
Canada's Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale is facing renewed criticism over his handling of harassment and bullying inside the RCMP, in the wake of a new $1.1-billion class action lawsuit launched against the force.
"He's been the public safety minister [for years] and quite frankly done nothing," says Darryl Davies, a criminology professor at Carleton University.
Davies, who spent more than two decades working in the federal justice system and now teaches courses on policing in the 21st century, says he believes Canada needs to hold a public inquiry into harassment and systemic problems inside the RCMP.
"I feel very frustrated by it, because we've had so many of these lawsuits launched in recent years. And you know with the expectation that maybe things would change, that this public safety minister would step up to the plate. But sadly nothing changes," Davies said.

Policing is a provincial and municipal responsibility but feds are ready to step in if asked, Goodale says
Canada's Minister of Public Safety says he's concerned Indigenous people in Thunder Bay, Ont., appear to have lost faith in the city's police service.
Ralph Goodale said the federal government is willing to respond to a request for help with policing the city, but he said that request must come from the municipality and the province to abide by jurisdictional protocols.
Last month chiefs representing more than 70 First Nations in northern Ontario called on the RCMP to take over investigations into the deaths of Indigenous people in Thunder Bay. The call came after a seventh Indigenous teen was found dead in a river in the city.
"We all have to work together and when there are concerns of that nature and magnitude that are expressed, I think we all, within our respective authorities need to treat that seriously because this kind of angst diminishes the strength of the country," Goodale told reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday.
Two Indigenous teens — Josiah Begg and Tammy Keeash — were found dead in June in the McIntyre River in Thunder Bay, close to where the body of Stacy DeBungee was found in 2015.

Public security minister has raised issue with his U.S. counterpart but unable to offer access guarantees
The Liberal government is being pressed to defend Canadian passport holders as cases multiply of Quebecers being turned away from the U.S. border for mysterious reasons.
But so far, Ottawa has little to reassure travellers nervous about being profiled based on their religion or ethnicity.
On Sunday, Montreal resident Manpreet Kooner was denied entry to the U.S. when she tried to cross into Vermont from Stanstead, Que. She was told she needed a visa, but border agents refused to give her details about what kind.

It is at least the third time in recent weeks that a Canadian citizen who is a visible minority has been blocked from crossing the Vermont border.
