I hope Trudeau's resignation doesn't push the Liberal Party to the right.
Regardless, the NDP needs a strong lefty platform to inspire people to vote. Lower voter turnout will benefit the right.
Drinking a nice cup of coffee made by my Abuelita in Ecuador.
Home grown plants, harvested and processed by hand, organic, dried in the sun, made with 70 years experience.
Told her she could charge $5 for this cup here. She laughed and didn’t believe me lol
This is so wholesome🥰
How many of these do we have?
While not inflicting trauma is first, collectively healing from trauma is essential to build a better world.
Hurt people hurt people.
Collective trauma requires collective healing.
Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need.
A few initial thoughts:
🧵
Every time I give a talk Palestine comes into the room with me in some capacity. And every time somebody approaches or messages to thank me. Every single time.
I can't imagine how lonely it must be to be Palestinian right now.

Just remember corporate greed caused inflation.

As a lefty labour movement, we must be in solidarity with lefty social movements. That solidarity is where engagement and political influence lies, which is and can transform into “bread and butter” issues for workers.

For those not in 🇨🇦, Tommy Douglas was a politician from Saskatchewan, and the father of our universal healthcare system. (And grandfather to Kiefer Sutherland!).
I actually appreciate this video BUT…
Canada backs US military imperialism & interference around the world, plays the “good guy” in accepting (not nearly enough) refugees & economic migrants, then focuses on them as factors in local economic hardships, deflecting from billion $$$$ corporate greed.
Ontario...let me give you a heads up here.
I live in a remote rural wilderness area and I already have starlink. (For YEARS!) No 100 million government deal needed.
What Fordnation is doing..is rigging an upcoming election with your hard earned tax dollars. Get rid of this corrupt fool.
Love over hate. Courage over fear. Empathy over greed. Justice over prejudice & discrimination.
Keep our hope alive. We are the majority.
Make Canadian kindness a thing again, it is our best weapon against the far-right.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.
Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.
Don’t tolerate the intolerant because just a bit of intolerance in society is still intolerance.
‘If Doug Ford wants to be mayor of Toronto he should have run for that instead. He’s supposed to be Premier of Ontario.’
Heard in some form over and over today in #MississaugaStreetsville, where people are looking for better.

Gotta say, I’m really liking this platform. I’m quickly increasing my time on it compared to X.
I hear you. I’ve often said that to support our OT members, and others precariously or under compensated in education, contract union branch leaders should help engage them at the workplace. We work together and should help each other.
I heard they moved this motion below at the provincial level.
Don’t give up. When we work as a collective, we can change anything.
Fighting anti-Palestinian racism and for Palestinian Human Rights is the issue of our time.
History books will write about this. Schools will teach it.

If we are going to make public education a top 5 election issue, we need to start now.
Spring provincial election is coming.
