@LawAsaf and I had a chance to speak to @COMMONSpod about prison labour. Prison administrators argue that work programs are a key part of rehabilitation--but how does excluding people from basic labour and health & safety rights advance their rehabilitation? #canlab #canpoli
COMMONS@COMMONSpod15 May 2024
All labour exists on a spectrum, ranging from enslavement at one pole, to fully, freely given on the other. And, in Canada, at the most extreme end of that spectrum are prison labourers. canadaland.com/podcast/work-…

WORK #9 - Working Behind Bars

If we want to truly understand our criminal justice system and Canadian labour, we need to examine how prisoners work.

Listening to @CANADALAND podcast @COMMONSpod Work, and it’s like a history of how patriotism in Canada has died. So much to be learned, and so thankful for the brave warriors featured in the program. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"The closure of the cod fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador was the most devastating mass layoff in Canadian history. And its impacts are still being felt to this day." - @CANADALAND Commons canadaland.com/podcast/work-… #envhist #cdnhist #labourhistory

WORK #6 - Emptying an Ocean

This isn’t just history. It’s prophecy. It’s a vision of what may come if we continue to ignore the ecological limits of this planet in the pursuit of profit.

Migrant farm workers in Canada can be fired and deported at will, their voices are rarely ever heard in this country. But Gabriel Allahdua is one of the few who can now speak up. And the story he has to tell is startling. canadaland.com/podcast/work-…

WORK #4 - Reaping the Whirlwind

It’s a story of racism and labour exploitation that goes back decades, even centuries. And it’s a prophecy of what is to come — that the hardships inflicted on migrant farm workers are only a trial...

We did an episode a few years back looking at all the dirty tricks that Warren Hart engaged in while on the RCMP payroll. canadaland.com/podcast/the-p…

He called himself the General. And he was at the heart of the RCMP's biggest scandal.

The promise of financial freedom can be an intoxicating lure. But MLMs, like so many other cultish enterprises, are about more than just money. They’re about transcendence. canadaland.com/podcast/cults…
