For 3 generations we have lived with and on the coastal ferry service. My Mom worked on a CP boat and my brother worked for BC Ferries. We love our local public ferry service. Warts and all.

After Santa said hi to my partner on BC Ferries last year, we just can't agree on a major issue: is Marxmas better on Translink or BC Ferries 🙄😒😌🙂‍↔️🎅🤶? My daughter on her way to Victoria

I ❤️ YVR workers. Guy pulls me aside, "Is this your bag? "
Me: "Yup. Is there a problem?"
Him " No Brother. No problem. Just wondering what union you are in?"

Ok Marx was wrong. The world is divided into only two kinds of people. Those with Trader Joe's bags and those with library bags.

100% North Vancouver holiday shopping. Doing it all on the one single free day I have in December.

Whether you work in a library or just love hanging out in libraries like me 🤓 you will recognize and love all the characters here: hapless George, the library worker, Obergruppen Fuhrer Ogilvie the library Manager and poor little Connie and her old, angry right wing Dad.

We can do better- no matter who sits in the Mayor's Chair.

Fresh out of our Federal NDP AGM ! Loved hearing from our leadership candidates- @heathermcpherson.bsky.social and @avilewis.ca were refreshing @votetanille.bsky.social made me proud to be a social worker. @rob-for-ndp-leader.bsky.social reminded us we are all working class 💪🏾💥 #LeftCoast

My great grandfather Frank McKenna helped build the railway in BC. Until he got sick of the deaths of Chinese workers and suggested they all form a union. He was fired on the spot (near Golden) and walked out of the mountains. He came back months later and started the union @bcfed.bsky.social 💪🏾💥💪🏾

Hot damn this West Coast writer knows how to tell a good story.

I hope you don't. Because government grocery stores have never worked anywhere. But food co-ops are a great alternative to capitalism and put real power in the hands of consumers and workers 🇨🇦

Let's take a little train in to Poland obergruppen Schmidt. What do you think?

The arts are badly underfunded in 🇨🇦. Carney missed a golden opportunity to boost the arts, create badly needed jobs, and support the Canadian economy.

Hot damn this is a good read from #Cascadia writer Patrick DeWitt 👏 down in Beautiful Portland

The messy world of "socialism" in the 🇺🇲 and previously few "socialists" know what the term means beyond free college, free transit and government owned grocery stores. Good read the socialists won't be reading. 😉
