Using a series of tax avoidance schemes, corporations like Bell deprive the Canadian people of $30 billion in taxes in a single year.

And it's a corporate coalition of Liberals and Conservatives that refuse to close these loopholes.

If Bell's CEO wanted to save any of the 6000 jobs he's cut in the last 8 months, why not reduce his own salary, and that of his board by 9%?

This is a person who earned $13.4 million in a single year.

His answer won't surprise you.

Convoys & humanitarian aid workers are

Restrictions on UNRWA by Israel to reach the north where famine is imminent must be lifted.

With political will, aid can be increased. Political will can also prevent a man made famine.

Children in Gaza are like 'ghosts,' says journalist Arwa Damon. 'They’re ghosts of their past. They’re the ghosts of who they used to be. And they’re constantly haunted by the ghosts of everything that they have lost.' bit.ly/3U7Vj9J

Thank you Niki Ashton for addressing what many MPs won’t acknowledge — especially Canadian charities’ involvement in Israeli war crimes.

OTTAWA: protesters rallied outside a conference where former Israeli PM & far right politician Naftali Bennet, who’s boasted about killing Arabs, was invited to give a keynote. Everyone in this city should be disgusted and ashamed by his presence here.

As wildfires raged just 8 miles away Bell told Bloodvein First Nation they had to pay $652,000 to turn on a switch and get cell service from a cell tower built on their land.

That is unacceptable.

Oligopolies like Bell have failed First Nations, workers, and consumers.

Asked my aunt, who helps develop vaccines, how the covid ones happened so fast.

“Well normally we do 10 studies of 1000 patients over 10 years. With this one was were able to do 1 study of 100,000 patients over 100 days. It’s a simple function of money.”

Just came back from grilling Bell’s CEO

How is it that a CEO who got paid a $13 million bonuses turns around and fires 6,000 employees?

This level of corporate greed is sick!

The Liberals let 123 corporations avoid paying $30 billion in taxes in one year.

When the Conservatives were in power, they gave out $60 billion in corporate tax cuts.

The NDP is forcing Bell to explain why they're cutting jobs. That's the difference.
