Canada’s privacy commissioner says citizens have a right to have some information removed from search engines.

In another example of US tech companies flouting rules in other countries, Google is refusing to comply. There should be serious consequences when companies do this.

Unions prepare to fight spending cuts proposals Federal unions claim Prime Minister Mark Carney is breaking a campaign promise with proposed spending cuts. CTV’s Austin Lee reports.

"Federal unions claim Prime Minister Mark Carney is breaking a campaign promise with proposed spending cuts." #canlab #cdnpoli

5/5. I appreciated Angela's point that, given that cuts will be impacting all departments and other facets of society, we can easily branch off and silo in our respective struggles.

Effort will be required to unite around a common anti-austerity struggle. Solidarity is a verb.

4/5. It's a reality that the federal public service has grown, and people are instinctively seeing a need to balance the books. We need clear arguments as to why cuts are not the answer, and why investing in the public service is a solution for all.

3/5. I really like Angela's argument that we should reject the premise of cuts outright, and instead make a clear case of how public programs and public servants are directly benefitting people in their daily lives. This requires serious labour union, social movement, and NGO campaign work.

2/5. A wealth tax on the top 1 per cent of earners in Canada would exceed the $21.5 billion in "savings" being sought by the Carney Liberals through cuts, Angela notes.

This is ultimately about policy choices, and Carney is making right-wing choices.
