A reminder for CBC that 8 parties are vying for votes in the BC election, not 2. And 5 of them had MLAs when legislature dissolved. Please do not try to make this a 2 party race. That is a disservice to democracy. @katiederosa.bsky.social #cdnpoli #bcpoli #BCelxn #CBC youtu.be/fZdt7PXTRQk?...

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

Every time the government attacks workers' rights, it challenges our power to negotiate fair and equitable working conditions. This affects not only union members, but all workers. Let’s be clear: the right to strike is non-negotiable. Not today, not ever.
