How Fair is That

COVID RACISM

April 14, 2021 
C

AVVY GO GOT SPIT ON. That’s bad enough. But, anti-Asian racist attacks are often much, much worse—even deadly. Recognizing, recording and resisting that reality are the driving force behind continuing rallies across Canada.

THE BOTTOM LINE

April 12, 2021 
C

PAYING INCOME TAX CAN EASILY PISS US OFF. Not so much because of what we have to pay—but because of what the rich DON’T have to pay. The special treatment they get would piss off Mary Poppins. It is obvious and unfair. It’s long past time to make ‘em pay their fair share.

HELD HOSTAGE

April 6, 2021 
C

MARIA LOPEZ IS FINALLY FREE TO WALK AWAY. She wasn’t always. She used to be tied to one employer—no matter what. That’s how it is for migrant workers who come to work in Canada. They are held hostage by the people they work for—unlike all other workers in Canada.

COVID FODDER

March 26, 2021 
C

“WE’RE NOTHING BUT COVID FODDER,” says David Bronstein. “Human sacrifices, just like the soldiers in the trenches in WWI. Our leaders are ready to kill as many of us as it takes to make their ‘herd immunity’ strategy work.”

March 24, 2021 
C

WE DON’T THINK ABOUT HAITI ANY MORE. More and more Canadians think we should. Particularly since it is not obvious that what we are doing there has helped at all.

NOT FOR YOU

March 22, 2021 
C

“NOT YOU”, IS NOT THE APPROVED ANSWER. But it is the answer some Alberta health care workers now get when they ask: “Who gets the leftover vaccine?”

EXTREME REGIME

March 6, 2021 
C

THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES. This is not a management technique that often works. But it is the one favoured by Alberta Health Services (AHS) in the runup to negotiations with thousands of health care workers it oversees.

ONE MORE TURN OF THE SCREW

March 4, 2021 
C

ALGORITHMS ARE THE BEST MEDICINE. The government of Newfoundland and Labrador has bet millions on it. Health-care workers say it is a bad bet for them and all the people they work hard to care for.

FAILED FEMINIST

March 1, 2021 
C

HE WANTED TO STRIKE A BLOW FOR FEMINISM. He didn’t. In fact, when Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil announced a grant of $5 million to rich women, as a way to help all women, he triggered activist anger and condemnation.

POPCORNGATE

February 24, 2021 
C

ANYTHING CAN BE POLITICAL—EVEN POPCORN. Just ask Québec Premier François Legault who says he only wanted to give kids a chance to go to the movies on March break. Now he is tangled up in “popcorngate.”
