Union election pro tip. If you spend your speech dressing down other candidates or talk about how we are in competition with other workers you'll be at the bottom of my list. Bargaining teams I look at your resume. Show me what you've done. Executive I look at your passion. Show me what you can do

Doug Ford insults First Nation people. He says he treats them like "gold" but says they keep coming back for more. Come to Treaty 9 Doug. See what your gold has bought in overcrowded homes, underfunded schools, and bad water. The Boss Hawg routine might stoke your base but it is racist as f--k.

Another day another labour conference I'm

Commander this, modern that. Give me two player jumpstart anytime.

Ok not to be stereotypical but I haven't played magic the gathering in 15 years and was casually looking at playing again and now apparently people all play 100 card decks or something? What?

Donald Trump arrived in Canada and demanded that Russia be admitted into the G7. He falsely claimed Canada had Russia kicked out. He refused to work out a deal with allies on the Middle East crisis and he left town before President Zelensky showed up. Surprised?

Sometimes it can be really nice having a righteous 17 year old who gives ZERO fucks in your corner.

In Canadian military news, today I saw our tank on highway 11 west of Hearst.

the transgender urge to buy a laptop and then put so many wacky stickers on it that you cant use it in public

Anyone feeling less intimidated after that parade? Seriously the ROTC (radically outrageous twirling corps) are in better lockstep.

Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself from Tehran's Children's Hospital, Carney says

I've never seen ICE and the Proud Boys in the same room at the same time. Funny that.

Coworker - what internal courses should I take Me - reconciliation and racial justice Coworker - I meant technical courses Also coworker - wow there's a lot of Mexicans in Red Lake!

Amazing. On a GO train and we get an announcement saying that the yellow emergency strips in one particular coach don’t work. The suggested solution: in case of emergency, move to another coach Tepid take: don’t put into service coaches without functioning alarms

Israel: "if only Iran hadn't retaliated, we wouldn't be in this mess.* This has very "look at what you made me do" vibes. And before you scream "rhetoric", ask if Canada should preemptively attack the US, a nuclear power that wants to eliminate us

Saw a deer and a family of bald eagles today

I'm in a motel full of miners. Over/under on me surviving the night?
