One thing I noticed, since getting my new wheelchair, is how most sidewalks are slanted towards the street. That means I have to use one arm more than the other to avoid constantly turning toward the street. So frustrating.

So predictable. One thing is clear. The bourgeois care about workers when they are working, regardless of compensation, safety, or any other problem that working people face. Just work. It is shameful, but so predictable.

why are there so few labour reporters in Canada's mainstream news outlets? take a look at how their editorial boards disregard workers' rights, handwring over "economic harm" from labour disputes, and parrot CFIB talking points

I’ve often thought about how every news program in the country has a “business report” segment; but only the leftiest-of-the-left, alternative media seem to have a “labour report.” (Shout out to @kimsiever.bsky.social and The Alberta Worker)

Just like Dreeshen wants us to be able to drive at 120 km+ on the highway he thought Covid was inevitable, he’s credited with the essential services designation, with no worker protections☠️ Stats say most Albertans were infected with #Omicron we can thank the UCP for that.
