Sharing this rant to #EndFossilFuels again since *after* I made this, *another* fire started even closer to #PortAlberni. Like so many other towns this year, it has threatened all of our homes and lives. There is blame to lay: it is at the feet of the fossil fuel industry. To every person in Canada, including oil industry workers: We must transition people out of this destructive work at a wartime pace. We can do it, we just have to want to help each other end fossil fuels as soon as possible. #CanPoli #CdnPoli #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChaos #ClimateChange
That's solidarity: "We will not be returning to the skies this afternoon," Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) national president Mark Hancock said at a news conference on Monday. "If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it. If it means our union being fined, then so be it." #Unions #AirCanada #CUPE #CanPoli #CdnPoli #Strike https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/air-canada-strike-illegal-1.7611447
Famous non-politician People to whom I feel non violent but extremely strong "Ill will". Feel free to pick as many as you like and add more in the comments. #polls #illwill #bluesky #trans
I would just like to express solidarity with trans folks on #bluesky and others who are being suspended on that corporate platform for "wishing ill will" on J.K. Rowling. Rowling is an objectively terrible human being that has repeatedly expressed discriminatory and disgusting opinions towards trans people. She has earned every ounce of ill will that she gets. saw this from @npub1urx3...v0z4
“The airline's latest offer included a 38 per cent increase in total compensation, including benefits and pensions over four years, that it said "would have made our flight attendants the best compensated in Canada." “ Ya…. Because I am sure WestJet and ultra-budget Flair are so well compensated. 🙄 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/air-canada-operations-suspended-flight-attendants-strike-1.7610916 #racetothebottom #union #aircanada #workerrights #strike #canpoli
3 out of 7 recommended news stories are about Trump failing. I would be happier about it if it did not imply Putin was winning. This is bad for everyone, but especially Ukraine. Trump’s ego, fealty, and idiocy is going to destroy the world if Europe, the Global South, and other democratic nations don’t take the reins from the USA. #russiaukrainewar #russia #ukraine image
