Yesterday, the @bankofcanada & its governor Tiff Macklem slammed Canadians with the 9th interest rate hike since January 2022. These rate hikes are an attack on working people.

We will fight back. 🧵 1/ Image
Despite what Mr. Macklem says, this hike wasn’t inevitable. After hitting 8% last year, inflation had dropped to 4.4% by April. Canada is faring much better on inflation than many of our global counterparts & it’s not because the #BoC keeps raising the interest rate. 2/
Tiff Macklem has said that he would need an “an accumulation of evidence” that inflation was worsening before raising rates again.

This evidence doesn’t exist, but he plowed ahead anyway. #CdnPoli 3/

2015: United Airlines announces $3 billion stock buyback.

2016: United Airlines announces $2 billion stock buyback.

2017: United Airlines announces $3 billion stock buyback.

By 2019 United Airlines has used 80% of their cash reserves to reward investors.

1/
Yesterday: United Airlines threatens to fire 60% of their workforce if they do not get a bailout within 10 days.

We can spend all day arguing about whether having those jobs to return to is worth the price of the bailout.

2/
We should spend all day arguing about whether pure GOP capitalism is sustainable without socialist intervention every time greed, exploitation of labor, and failure to plan leaves them insolvent.

Senator @ewarren has, in an absurd turn of events, been duped by the establishment to weaponize Bernie’s online popularity against him, as an excuse for her silent endorsement of @joebiden!

#WarrenToBernie

1/
In her post-“Super Tuesday” interview with @maddow, @ewarren comforted her core supporter base by showing her continued commitment to both help working families and fight for a female President.



2/
@ewarren also gave voice to victims of online harassment, including publication of personal information, and pointed a finger at the campaign of @berniesanders specifically, feeding into the #BernieBros narrative.
