Many militant labour activists visited the Labor Temple in Vancouver, including Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood, Lucy Parsons and Albert Parsons, often giving speeches or lectures to local BC workers. The building also housed a print shop, a co-op shop, and a lounge for unemployed workers.

When Ginger Goodwin, VP of the BC Fed. of Labour was shot by police in July 1918, it sparked Canada's first general strike. Workers across BC walked out Aug. 2, and business owners encouraged returned WWI soldiers to attack the Labor Temple, where they tried to throw the VTLC Sec-Tres out the window

Vancouver, BC, Canada also has a Labor Temple! (Yes, with the US spelling, which was common in Canadian labour at the time) Constructed 1911-12, it was the home of the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council along with union offices, and the site of a major clash during BC's general strike of 1918.

Magnolias and cherry blossoms are why this time of year is my absolute favourite 😍

So while the NDP continues to drop every ball thrown to them to be a principled "leftist" party, they're also putting out batshit platform promises. Victory bonds??? You want the working class to "tariff-proof the economy" instead of.... taxing the rich??? What the fuck are we doing anymore???

ATTN ALL UNION MEMBERS & LABOUR ACTIVISTS!! please watch and share widely!!! (video via genzxelcambio on tiktok)

With the way Israel refuses to honour their agreements, I fear that there may only be a small window of opportunity for people to leave. Please, if you have even a few dollars, please help these sweet babies who cry themselves to sleep out of fear and hunger most nights.

The fog finally lifted in Vancouver and we got a stunning sunrise out of the deal 😍

Kal Tire is where I usually get my tires serviced, and I will be boycotting until the workers can get a fair deal! The company has locked out Machinists Local 1857 at several locations across BC Canada.

Unions make life better for ALL workers! 💪
