In our last two rounds of bargaining we have proposed making National Day for Truth and Reconciliation statutory. The employer dismisses this saying we can take a vacation day instead!?! We’ll prevail eventually and this excellent essay tells us why. Until then, all staff are on “vacation” today.

It’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We do not have to be defined by history. We are not “Canada strong” unless we are all strong and all our strengths are are honoured. We are more imaginative than our government and know true prosperity is living in harmony with each other and nature.

“The Ontario Liberals have no clue what they’re doing, or even who they’re supposed to be.” UK Labour, US Democrat and Ontario Liberal strategists seem to be cut from the same cloth. Fortunately, especially in Ontario, if you want progressive politics, you can vote for a progressive party. 🧡

The experiences of race and gender and class are very real and important, but they are also constructed and changeable. Our humanity is consistent and sacred. …Still, for some, it remains a mystery why women need a movement to distinguish our efforts toward equality. For me, it seems quite obvious.

This is a most excellent read. As usual the root of the rot is decades of conservative rule. “it’s far more likely that the real meat of the issue will be found in a tax code full of sweetheart deals…, the slashed budgets of county public health offices, the lead-contaminated water supplies.”

Supporting Westjet workers at the picket for a fair collective agreement. Unpaid work won’s fly! Liberals invoked Section 107 of the Labour Code ten times since 2023 and took away the workers’ right to strike and undermine the collective bargaining process to tip the scales in employers’ favour.

Yay to labour leaders waking up. Ugh to the Liberal agenda of maximizing investor returns on the backs of workers. “The government will use any disruption to reinforce its own pattern of limiting labour rights to signal to investors that Canada’s economy will be kept moving and open at any cost.“
