Carleton University is paying undercover private investigators to conduct covert surveillance on students and instructors on picket lines. Contract instructors and TAs are on strike against “exploitative” wages at @Carleton_U. pressprogress.ca/carleton-un… #ottnews #canlab

I’m LIVID + my students are mad as heck. They don’t want pass/fail or sat/not sat! CUSA you should be vocal in advocating for the students YOU represent and whose fees pay your salaries We need to band together to fight for fairness @Carleton_U @cupe4600 @gsacarleton @cuasa – at Ottawa, Ontario

Lmao @ottawacity is giving a presentation on property taxes right now and this is how much they think buying a house costs in 2023 apparently. The last time the average cost to buy a home was just over $100,000 in #Ottawa was in 1984.

These are the TAs Carleton says they don’t have any more money for, they rather let them starve!
Want to know what a yearly TA salary really gets you? The reality may surprise you...

Meanwhile in #Ottawa, Bylaw are currently hard at work taking down anti-convoy posters, ensuring that the convoy fascists who occupied our community for three weeks last year feel welcome and don't have their delicate feelings hurt by Ottawa residents. #Ottpoli #ConvoyWatch

Protect Hassan Diab from further injustice. Say NO to any future request for Hassan's extradition! you.leadnow.ca/petitions/pm-… via @leadnowca
OPIRG Carleton retweeted
When speakers include Carleton U students who took up #HassanDiab's case as class project & Raging Grannies are in full voice, justice is pointing in the right direction. Great turn out at Human Rights Monument today, pressing for end to Hassan’s 14+ yrs of Kafkaesque injustice.

The unfair political trial of an innocent Canadian citizen cannot be tolerated. @CanadianPM and the Canadian government must: 
(a) Put an end to this continuing miscarriage of justice, and 
(b) Refuse any future request for Hassan Diab’s extradition. @JusticeForHDiab – at Ottawa, Ontario
