And don't be intimidated UCP tactics like bringing in "Right to Work" legislation. The legitimate threat of General Strikes brought right wing governments here in British Columbia to heel, and can do the same in Alberta if you stick together and refuse to play by the Fascists' rules.

The #Alberta Petrostate historically imports transient skilled labour rather than educate, provide health care or attend to any basic needs of the people born and raised there. Lower taxes for nonexistent services removes any shred of accountability for #Conservatives. #abpoli #canpoli #fucktheUCP

#Alberta has always been a Labour Relations Hellhole, and the only workers who ever managed to crawl out stopped giving a f**k about what #Fascists consider "legal" The #ATA in 2025 needs to take a page from #AUPE in 1999: Get ready to SHUT IT ALL DOWN. #abpoli #canpoli #GeneralStrike #FucktheUCP

A few years later, radio stations would recreate ballgames in the studio that they couldn't afford to send announcers to: www.radiosurvivor.com/2013/07/bett...

Better than reality: radio's re-creation of baseball

Before the days of coast-to-coast sports radio, artists like Les Keiter "recreated" the game through radio commentary.

A nice gesture for Veterans that could do without everyone else's whining about paying their fair share to reduce traffic congestion. Free parking isn't a right, it's a privilege. Vets earned that privilege.

Hellberta has been #Gerrymandering for decades to silence the voices of urban voters in Calgary and Edmonton.

The Alberta Teachers' momentum is a reaction to a reactionary, hateful MAGA style regime in Edmonton. A lot of people outside of Victoria didn't realize BCGEU was on strike until liquor stores started closing.

This is what decades of reflexive, win at all costs hatred of the NDP brought to British Columbia. Kevin Falcon kicked John Rustad out the BC Liberal caucus for his reactionary views, then throws up the white flag of his BC United successors a few months later to try and stop another NDP term.

When the Blue Jays won the World Series in 1992 and 1993, the running joke was "OUR Americans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans will beat YOUR Americans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans!"

Backtracking on the promise to be a "transitional" President until it's too late is doing something..😒

True. I just don't like people using MAGA to justify pre-existing Anti-Americanism when MAGA are probably the most Anti-American people of all.

The Germans saw Hitler creating jobs and economic growth. It was re-arming Germany to attack the rest of Europe, but people were willing to turn a blind eye to that as their pay packets increased.

It's also time for provincial gaming agencies outside of Ontario to demand that ads for private gaming companies that operate exclusively in Ontario to be banned in those provinces.

It's not just Rat Union workplaces that cause severe harm for workers - #UBC let CLAC infiltrate their HR Department and a CUPE Local, allowing them to disappear multiple political opponents through constructive dismissal, including me. #labour #canpoli www.heathermcpherson.ca/ban_company_...

What's the good news here? A necessary sacrifice to resist the Trump administration? I would rather be enjoying visits with my American friends and family and enjoying my favourite American places, but I know what's at stake here. This Canadian doesn't hate America, only MAGA.
