Are Chicago Teachers Headed Toward a Strike?
Lee Sustar
A three-cornered battle between a budget-slashing mayor (Rahm Emanuel), a union-busting governor (Bruce Rauner) and determined teachers (CTU) could result this fall in the second public school strike in Chicago in four years.
At the center of the battle is an effort to force Chicago teachers to pay the equivalent of 7 per cent of their base pay in additional pension costs, reversing an agreement made with the Chicago Teachers Union in lieu of a raise. "If the Board of Education imposes a 7 per cent slash in our salaries, we will move to strike," Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) President Karen Lewis said at an August 8 press conference.
The school district also upped...

Decisions to shape Canada for a generation

This fall the Trudeau Liberals are going to wrap up their consultations and reveal their plans on key issues like electoral reform, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), pipelines and climate change.
Will they make every vote count, or let the promise of electoral reform die? Will they reject the TPP or lock us in? Will they lead a bold climate plan, or build more pipelines?
On those issues, and many more, the government’s decisions will shape Canada for a generation to come.
So what will they do? It’s going to come down to this: will the many voices of people calling for lasting change be stronger than the powerful interests working behind the scenes to defend the power of the few?
The government is already sending mixed messages on many of its promises - and they need to hear from people like you.[1]
Together, you’ve already engaged thousands of people in this government’s consultations this year. The Leadnow community can tip the balance with a major push for progress as the government returns from the summer break - but we need your help to keep building momentum with thousands of people across the country.

Hey Jammers,
The US presidential race is looking more like a circus every day, an absurd spectacle with Trump masquerading as a strongman in the central ring… but it’s impossible to take his performance seriously.
So let’s call Trump out for what he is, not a strongman but a clown, a bumbling slapstick bozo stumbling across the political stage.
Have a look at this video and then maybe print out your own Trump mask and have some fun with it.

The cruel animal transport industry is on trial

Dear Supporter,
Here's the bad news: virtually all farmed animals are transported at least once in their lives, and it’s so stressful and dangerous that many animals won’t even survive the journey. Canadian transport standards are outdated, lagging behind other Western countries.
But there's hope.
