In the current workforce, it's important that we contextualize volunteering as not just a choice to "gain experience" or "build a portfolio" before stepping into a paid role, but a symptom of capitalist expectations and the myth of meritocracy. 2/2
Volunteering is labour.
April 19-25 is National Volunteer Week in Canada.
Volunteering is labour! 💜
It is often done for the sake of community building and in non-profit settings, but can easily become an exploitation of work. 1/2
Canada Post workers start voting today on a five-year contract agreement that follows labour strife and their union leader urging they reject the deal.
Canada Post reports $1.57 billion loss before tax for 2025 Corporation proceeding with its transformation to build a modern postal system, improve service and return to financial self-sustainability OTTAWA – Canada Post’s financial situation deteriorated significantly in 2025 as labour uncertainty weighed on the business, and decades-old rules and frameworks continued to impede the company’s modernization and its ability to compete. The severity of the Corporation’s financial situation underscores the urgency to transform and meet the modern needs of the country. The company’s 2025 loss before tax of $1.57 billion widened by $728 million, or 86.7 per cent¹, compared to a loss before tax of $841 million in the prior year. It was the Corporation’s largest loss before tax on record. Revenue for the year declined by $315 million, or 4.7 per cent, compared to 2024, as parcel volumes fell sharply largely due to labour uncertainty throughout 2025.
NEWS: Canada Post says they lost $1.57 billion in 2025, compared to $841 million in 2024.
Context: CP's dual mandate is to serve all Canadians AND to do so in a financially sustainable manner.
For a country that has exploited immigration as an infinite money and cheap labour glitch like Canada to applaud this garbage is beyond the pale.

The first page of a newsletter from Charlie Angus, Canadian former cabinet minister. Text: Canada Must Stand With Cuba CHARLIE ANGUS / THE RESISTANCE MAR 23 READ IN APP 7 Donald Trump made a chilling boast the other day. He bragged that not only does he have the power to economically destroy the sovereign nation of Cuba, but that "I can do whatever I want with it."
Text: This is the language of a demented Caesar or mob boss. And it's the language of U.S foreign policy in 2026. But in Cuba, we are seeing strong signs of resistance. Even betore the latest blockade, the United States' ongoing economic pressure was costing the country $5-7 billion in annual damages. Canadian solidarity movements have pressured the Canadian government to respond, but $8 million in food aid is only a fraction of what is needed. There is a serious strain on hospitals and infrastructure.
Text: Containers 4 Cuba (C4C) is a fundraising and political action project led by retired UNIFOR members Ben Lefebvre, Colin Argyle, and Ken Luckhardt.

On March 7, 2026, a second container of medical supplies and food aid was loaded for Santiago de Cuba. C4C has received support from national and provincial unions and individual locals, and has been

Public pension funds in over half of U.S. states hold billions of dollars in Palantir stock, according to @Sludge.
Public workers in several of these states, like Maine, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, are protesting the fact that their pension funds are being funnel to this dangerous company.

That we take markets to be a barometer of anything other than how a bunch of rich idiots are feeling is wild. Markets are fundamentally irrational until reality forces them to not be.
