We are reaching the end of our @nichecanada.bsky.social fundraising campaign & we are still 31% away from our goal.

I owe a great deal to this group, & I also put SO MUCH labour into this community. More than ever, environmental knowledge needs to be protected & supported.

Congrats Tina!

Congrats on the award Jim (and all)! Still hoping I can get a copy of the game.

Great article. I especially liked the discussion of solutions rooted in strategic encouragement of a wider range of alternative actors.

Thanks to everyone who came out for my talk at Nipissing University last night. It was a full house with great questions.

The Resistance Tour is coming to North Bay on April 3rd.

1:30 PM Meet & Greet with my good friend Val Kennedy, NDP candidate for Nipissing-Timiskaming. Details coming!

7 PM @ Nipissing University - details below. If you're not in North Bay you can register with the QR code to participate by zoom.

Avg size of Canada's egg farms ~ 23,000 hens
Avg size of American egg farms ~ 50,000 to 6 million hens

Canadian supply management = more livelihoods, keeps prices stable, and is safer.

Look who's coming to North Bay!
This one is proper left, knows history and he's the one leading our fight against Trump.
NOT a coincidence imho
see you there - let's get rowdy

Most online services can't seem to locate North Bay exactly.

I too am working on assignments and also thinking along these lines, ie, sub-assignments leading to the final version. And the online advice is also along the lines of “how to get learning done” even if they use ChatGPT
