Thank you for the massive support over the past day. Needless to say you shouldn’t be hearing from me (about my needs) for the rest of the month ❤️💜🤎

I first heard about the attack on IRC. I think that might have been the first global disaster I heard about first on the Internet. I miss IRC. I also miss the world before 9/11. I do not miss that day. Not every major event changes the world. That one did. #911

UN releases report on: Slavery, Canadian-style.

Migrant workers, their employment tied to one employer, are subject to multiple vectors of abuse.

Agricultural workers, home care workers, and more.
Out of sight, out of mind.


Oftentimes, these [inspections] are pre-announced so so that means employers know exactly when they are coming in so what often happens then is that they ask workers to clean the workplace and living their accommodations so they looks perfect and sometimes these workers are sent away so that they do not complain to the labor in specs right so l've heard this this from so many workers so the reality is different from what the government is claiming.

(Don't even try your "this is not my Canada" shit with me.)

@samloonie

says he's going to "ax the " on , to lower the price at the pump. What he doesn't say is that his -industry friends will raise the resulting price, pocketing even MORE . Nice, huh?

I have no idea how long it'll take to clear my survival cheque so please know there's no way I can thank anyone who has shared my literal daily pleas for assistance, and especially those who donate, enough.

The Conservative Party Has No Real Solutions For The Affordability Crisis

'Powerful paycheques' is a catchy slogan, but the Conservatives lack the ideas needed to make it come true.

Did yah listen to pierre poilli-everything-is-broken's speech yesterday?
I was in awe. So much rhetorical nonsense and hateful gas-lighting vitriol, and then his little Norman Rockwell image of Canada under his leadership.
The problem is, hate and division do not unite a nation or result in good leadership. There is nothing "common sense" about pierre's trumpian approach to wooing his base.
...but the people who can get behind this guy's propaganda: they are stupid, or evil, or both.

Young salmon and trout die in the Cowichan River due to extreme heat and low water levels causing algal blooms. And in a few weeks they might have to start trucking salmon up river (again) from the estuary because the water levels are so low.

Hey fellow . People who live with disabilities are hurting.

While awaiting the Canada Disability Benefit, they are struggling to survive.

PLEASE SIGN this petition and BOOST to call upon the gov't to immediately create and implement a disability emergency relief benefit.

📣JT & CO have the power to do this. They did this for COVID relief in support of protecting capitalism. Protect LIVES now.

Closes Sept 10!

After an entire 23 year career of getting 0-2% raises in our union contract intermittently... to now be seeing 15%, 20%, 30% raises being demanded, and received for the term of the contract is: a little terrifying honestly. My union is currently in negotiations with the Employer/BCGov. I have no idea what to expect. I dare not hope for anything. But I do. Thank god for Unions and Collective Bargaining.

Have I ever told you one of my favourite political-actions is to file Freedom of Information/Access To Information requests and then riff on the results? It's good times.

I just got notification that my most recent FOI will be proceeding. It was hung up as the Office determined whether I was worthy of having the fees (~$100) waved. It looks like they might wave them. I'll know shortly and should have a response to my request, or more likely, a request to extend their search time, in the next 30 days.
