After 106 days on strike, Charlottetown Water & Sewer Workers, CUPE Local 830, ratified their agreement. They fought concessions & protected job security for current/future workers.

It was wild ride. Our fight is not over w/City. 2026 = municipal elections on PEI 😉.

I'm gutted and furious that the Iranian people will be injured, harmed and killed as a result of this absolutely depraved act of violence. What a complete travesty on every single level.

If the Habs win tonight, Montréal is going to burn. Doesn't matter that it's only game 3 of the first round.

(I lived in Montréal during playoffs. It's wild.)

Le débat des chefs sur RADIO-CANADA oublie ENCORE les communautés francophones et acadiennes. Comme si on n'existe pas. Comme si y'a pas d'enjeux qui nous préoccupent. Décevant et frustrant.

In a Liberal stronghold. There are waaaaaay more conservative signs in my riding than in past elections. I don't like it.

2021 CUPE strike ended with an agreement incl negotiations on the pension piece for NBCNHU, 1253 and 2745.

Higgs' hatred for CUPE took over & PCs tabled Bill 17, forcing these groups in a shared-risk pension plan. Going against fair bargaining and GNB's own agreement with CUPE to end the strike.
Noticed a lot of anti union comments on the NB subreddit re: revoking the former gov's move to change the pension plans of the provincial Civil service.

The common theme was "why should these civil servants get better benefits than us, who work in the private sector?" /1

Elbows Up for workers, people living in poverty, and our public services! Let’s not forget that investing in our public services brings in money and grows the economy. This is not the time for cutbacks and austerity measures. ❤️✊

F*ck all the way off to Mars with M*sk and all their cronies who support this.

Same for Canadians who support this BS.

So what is the F*ck Trudeau crowd going to do now? It's been their identity since 2020.

2025 is going to be a real shit show. Get ready, folks.

New CCPA report: Company Men: CEO Pay in Canada, 2023. On average, the top 100 CEOs were paid 210X more than the average worker’s wage in 2023, and this wealth gap is only growing: In 1998, they'd made 104 times more. The report busts key myths about CEOs’ pay and their worth. 1/2

Lovely tribute to Danny Légère's lifelong implication in the labour, workers' rights and social justice movements in New Brunswick/Canada. Thank you @nbmediacoop.bsky.social.

Rest easy, Danny. Thank you for everything. I'll keep your houseplant alive and thriving.
