Hey rabble readers,
The links between climate change and forest fires are well established. So far, Elizabeth May is the only party leader to go there. Why not Tom? Or Justin? Karl Nerenberg reports on the devastating forest fire that hit Fort McMurray and it is well and truly a must read.

Interview With João Pedro Stédile
The economist and leader of the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) of Brazil, Joao Pedro Stédile, affirmed that left-wing forces won't allow the Parliamentarian right to fulfill their wish to force Dilma Rousseff out of the presidency to reinstall neoliberalism in the country.

Brussels, 25 April 2016 (ITUC OnLine): Three years after the Rana Plaza factory collapse killed over 1,200 workers, persistent and growing violations by the Bangladesh government of its responsibility to respect workers' rights have led the ITUC to lodge a Freedom of Association case at the International Labour organisation. With the Registrar of Trade Unions refusing legitimate registration applications for unions in the garment and other sectors, workers are being deprived of their right to collective representation, and local employers continue to repress union activity with impunity.
