Yeah, I certainly didn't learn this either.
I made my brother a shelf for VHS, audio cassettes, and CDs as a young teen. My grandparents and Dad hammer a lot. I'd say they also didn't know this.

The last point in the article is SO important.
Plus, not just in actual child care but in maternity and parental leave, CUPW has led the way. We need unions like this to continue the work, standing up for workers' rights, and showing possibility.
Now is our time to stand up & support postal workers.

CUPW strikes are also what first got paid maternity/parental leave, which eventually became a paid federal thing.
Support postal workers - they have supported you.

CCPA — Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives @policyalternatives.ca · 18h

For decades, @cupwsttp.bsky.social has run one of the most important child care funds in the country. It should be studied and emulated by policymakers and unions alike. By @kaitlinpeters.bsky.social and Ariane Hotte. #canlab @policyalternatives.ca www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

CUPW’s child care program is highly effective - CCPA

Unions have long been champions in the fight for better child care. From organizing child care workers to speaking out for more accessible, affordable, and high-quality services, they’ve played a vita...

Either way, I have a team in the World Series.
(That said, I don't really watch baseball. Now when it comes to the PWHL next month, there will be a rivalry!!!)

I just want a great, entertaining game when they play.
Canadian or Cascadian - that is the question!

What kind of justice is 'we can celebrate but you are threatened against celebrating'???

While Israelis celebrated the return of captives from Gaza, Israel warned Palestinian families against holding celebrations over the return of prisoners – some who had been held for decades. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains.

Wishing Canadian friends & my friends in Canada (who are not Canadian) a Happy Thanksgiving.
I am grateful for the harvest of local produce, & grateful to all who work on the agricultural fields & factories, regardless of citizenship status, who help us get the food we need to nourish our bodies.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are walking back to Gaza City as the Israeli military begins its withdrawal from the area following the ceasefire agreement.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum is there, watching what he described as ‘an endless tide of humans’.

“What is astonishing to me as a legal scholar is that the alcohol industry has somehow circumvented their legal and moral responsibility to warn consumers.”

No question this bill should be made law. Make alcohol follow the same plain packaging rules as tobacco.

Reminder: 'antifa' = antifascist
There is no organization. If you don't like/want fascism, you are 'antifa'. End of story.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the tariffs go away or if the trade war ends, because the real issue is the Fascism.

We're not visiting the US while ICE is terrorizing minorities. We're not buying crap from a country that sends troops against their own people. That bombs random civilian ships.
