1/3 The age old question: is protesting effective? I recently read an article from @adapalmer.bsky.social that eloquently reminded me that resistance may not lead to instant results. Resistance is an intention, its slowing the baseline and protesting is building community in times of despair.

Today is a beautiful day. But on this Juneteenth, my mind is with the people who are still experiencing slavery in American prisons, jails, and detention centers. Today is a good day to re-dedicate ourselves to everyone's liberation.

The Conservative Party platform includes 4 mentions of women. 3 of those are related to an anti-trans policy.
That says everything that needs to be said about the Conservative Party and gender equity.

Unions are a bullwork against fascism. That means that Canadians have to build our labour militancy too.
