This is VERY basic math. Companies aim to extract profit for shareholders and will force us to pay more. In a country where airlines already engage in monopolistic gouging, the last thing we need is privatized airports.16 Sep 2026 13:24 +0000at://did:plc:rad2qmrtlstly23xgldcr5mo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvnaf4cwss2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/camillelabchuk.bsky.social/post/3mqclsa5vms2eIf rodeo cowboys smack animals when TV cameras are present, just imagine the animal abuse that happens on the ranch when no one is watching. #CalgaryStampede [contains quote post or other embedded content]10 Jul 2026 16:43 +0000at://did:plc:rad2qmrtlstly23xgldcr5mo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqclsa5vms2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/camillelabchuk.bsky.social/post/3mqcemb4tac2zA rodeo participant repeatedly smacked a fallen horse in the head at the Calgary Stampede rodeo, and now authorities are investigating after we filed a complaint.

For the first time, the Senate became a useful chamber where important legislation could be introduced, seriously debated, and ultimately pass into law. Updates to Canada's 100-year old animal welfare laws wouldn't have happened without senators.

(Spoiler: They're trying to stop the videos of sick, sad, and caged animals—regularly kicked and beaten by farmers.)

Ice fishing has always struck me as so cruel. The fishes don’t even get one season where they aren’t being terrorized by trophy hunting (which is what this is).

This includes $2.3M in staff time & $1.3M to lawyers. To kill HEALTHY birds. Imagine how many animals could have been helped if the feds simply gave this cash to farmed animal sanctuaries. https://www.ourcommons.ca/written-questions/45-1/Q-716?response=13856999&section=cov&expandquestion=true28 Jan 2026 14:36 +0000at://did:plc:rad2qmrtlstly23xgldcr5mo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdiipflprs2shttps://bsky.app/profile/camillelabchuk.bsky.social/post/3mdeccdwshc26We're hiring a Legislative Affairs Manager at @animal-justice.bsky.social!

We talked about Ontario's move to ban cosmetic surgeries on pets like cat declawing, ear cropping, and debarking. Good news, but slicing off dogs' tails should also be banned.

Factory farms are almost completely unregulated in Canada and are free to abuse animals in horrible ways.
