Canadians stand with Rachel Gilmore. The Conservative government, whose actions and rhetoric have put her in harm’s way, must take responsibility and act immediately to ensure her safety. This injustice cannot be
ignored, and it must be rectified.
NOW. #IStandWithRachel

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.

In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.

The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.

Okay. Yes and, following Corey's pattern, I'll do this:

PAID MATERNITY LEAVE
In 1981 CUPW, had a 41 day long strike, the outcome of which was paid maternity benefits for postal workers which eventually became paid maternity, paternity, and adoptive leave for parents.

This UCP government treats public educators like absolute shit, every chance they get.

“Hey - help us ban books by creating a digital library of every book in your classroom. And do that on your own time, without pay. By the way, don’t even thing about striking. We’ll lock your asses out.” #ableg

When I became a Senator, I started flying a lot. Back and forth from Edmonton to Ottawa - not to mention flights to conferences and events. I had never before understood the archaic way that flight attendants are paid. The clock only starts when the airplane door closes. 🧵

Watching my Cosmos bloom is bringing me so much joy (it’s the small things these days). They look like a dancer twirling around in a delicate, ethereal, flowing dress as they unfurl.

Sliding in with an hour to spare on today’s #JuliArty. I was hoping to do a cool mirror shot outside but alas the rain derailed that plan.

Thankfully last year a still lake provides the perfect mirror.
