A look at the grievances of striking CUPW postal workers.
More than just an impasse over wages, they include legitimate concerns about the "casualization" of their workforce, a distressing trend toward less-permanent employment seen in many other sectors (including health care) as well.

Postal workers are fighting the gigification of a vital public service ⋆ The Breach
Strikes by postal workers have paved the way for Canadians to enjoy maternity leave and job security. Now, they are fighting the casualization that threatens so many workers.

Charlie Angus knocking it out of the park in the House of Commons lately.
Thanks to @meidastouch.bsky.social for the shout on on my speech on Trump.
My Nov 5 thoughts:
We are in the time of monsters. Democracy is being toxified by the rage algorithms.
Evil has always fed on stupidity. They only succeed if we give them space.
No pasaran.

Excellent speech by MP Charlie Angus.
What he describes in terms of a breakdown of Canadian democracy in parliament is so strikingly similar to what I experienced over the past 4 years as an MLA in the Sask legislature.
Except here in SK, the goons are in power and they have zero restraints.

If you watch something today please take time to watch my thoughts on the crisis facing Canadian democracy.
We are in deeply uncertain times and parliament is failing to step up beyond dumbed down partisanship.
Democracy is not meeting the crisis of the time.
