Exactly. Not only is Eby defending his own residents, but recognizing the reality of the situation. Smith's proposal is pure fiction and deliberately designed to provoke and prod.

B.C. Premier David Eby is clearly beyond frustrated with Danielle Smith's pipeline dreams threatening the B.C. economy.

In a fiery statement, he called her out directly stating...

"This is not the Danielle Smith show!"

Of course, of COURSE, Danielle Smith blamed Ottawa for Imperial Oil's plan to lay off 20 per cent of its employees by 2027.

Saskatchewan has more crown corporations than any other province. A bold idea for making life more affordable: public options at every single step of the supply chain that's ripping us off. #cdnpoli #NDP

Both sides are pretty dug in. How the public respond and who they will ultimately support in this dispute is ultimately how it will be solved. And right now, the teachers have a really strong argument about why they're taking this job action.

And the membership is united. The province can't push this aside as a greedy union. Recall how important teachers and education were to these governments during the pandemic. It is time to treat teachers and their work environments with the value they deserve.

Don't worry, the provincial government is on it. It hasn't mentioned climate change in several years. Meanwhile, it will sprint to a microphone to lobby for oil pipelines. We're good.

I’ve seen a lot of rallies at the Alberta Legislature, but today’s Teachers’ rally had to be the biggest one.

#ForeverCanadian volunteers were there, collecting signatures.

Teachers, thank you for your support!!!

If those of us on the left spent as much energy trying to defeat fascism as we do policing each other and tearing potential allies down, we’d be a lot better off. Take a lesson from History: the Popular Front brought centrists together with social democrats and communists. That’s what we need.

Prices rising largely as a result of the US imposing tariffs on Brazil, and Brazilian growers not selling to the market, forcing buyers to compete with alternate suppliers.
Prices are not rising because of the size of the deficit, as Poilievre would have you believe.

Yes
"Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, or mechanics, it’s obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of smoke, the results would be immediate & catastrophic. A world without teachers or dock-workers would soon be in trouble, and even one without science fiction writers or ska musicians would clearly be a lesser place. It’s not entirely clear how humanity would suffer were all private equity CEOs, lobbyists, PR researchers, actuaries, telemarketers, bailiffs or legal consultants to similarly vanish - many suspect it might markedly improve." - David Graeber

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.
Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny

Ok. Question. If you’re on a path and you’re running on the left side of the path and a cyclist is riding towards you, who should move first? Should the runner default to the right or should the cyclist move for the runner? Also, bikes should have bells, no?
