Had such an incredible time in Toronto for Labor Notes' Troublemakers School this weekend! Heard from and met lots of labour activists and leaders and was fortunate to help co-facilitate one of the workshops.

Hopefully something that can happen again in the future on this side of the border 🤞🏻

Solidarity with striking CUPW members! Visited the @cupwsttp.bsky.social local 548 picket line this evening to drop off food and snacks on behalf of PSAC Hamilton. Stop by and show your support for CUPW and OPSEU members on strike if you can! ✊🏻 #HamOnt #canlab

A little snow never bothered me anyway 😉❄️

One of the perks of being an avid all-season walker is that today's storm wasn't enough to keep me from hitting the doors in support of @sarahjama.bsky.social, Hamilton Centre's independent candidate for re-election!

Bonus: saw Santa on my walk this afternoon and he waved at me!
