@mark-carney.bsky.social I believe in you and thank you for stepping up. Please avoid April 28, 2025 for the election day. April 28h is the International Day of Mourning for workers killed by workplace tragedy or occupational disease. It’s a sacred day for workers and their families.

You Go Volodymyr! My Hero. Stand firm. Shame on all the sycophants populating the U.S. Congress. Now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of Ukraine. We are behind you.

9 years ago, CBC’s The Fifth Estate filmed my Dad in late stage Parkinson’s. We have more answers now about what aluminum dust inhalation did to the health of miners, including Parkinson’s, heart & lung disease. Dad didn’t live to learn those answers, but I think he knows. youtu.be/pv2rrwf_wx8?...
