Teacher, unionist, worried about underfunding of public education, interested in leadership, art, nature, social justice. Tweets are my own opinions.

👏 Shoutout to Cllr. @christineeboyle for reigniting efforts to support arts & culture spaces in Vancouver!

From a Cultural Land Trust to better regulations, we're putting Vancouver on the path to a more vibrant arts community. 🎬🎺🎨 #vanpoli #bcarts

Labour blackmailed the Speaker into breaking Parliamentary protocol - to protect Israel from the charge of 'collective punishment'.

Ignore the shameless spinning of client journalists.

This is the truth.

@TeriMooring BINGO. Let his overreach and over confidence be his and their downfall.

@hthrwritesstuff I just shoveled out the spot on the sidewalk where the rear doors of the bus open - it was a quagmire! If everyone did this for their closest bus stop it would make a big difference!

🚨 Urgent: The government's refusal to address class size and complexity threatens education in Saskatchewan. We urge teachers, parents, and communities to unite in the fight for publicly funded education!

It's time to #freeahmed Mansoor! My mum is working on the Amnesty Campaign, please share to help put pressure on the #UAE!

[First Nations Summit @FNSummit]

An inspiring night for all First Nations people in Canada! Holding our hands up tonight 🙌🏽 to congratulate @WabKinew on being elected Manitoba’s next Premier, and for forming a majority government. The election of Canada’s first Indigenous provincial Premier marks a momentous shift in Canadian politics! #ManitobaElections #WeAreIndigenous #Reconciliation

Hey @HelloBC, your Visitor Centre at 100 Mile House is being used as a staging ground for far-right propaganda and hate against 2SLGBTQ+ people.

Safe, inclusive tourism for queer and trans visitors does not include hate rallies.

#vanpoli #bcpoli What to do when U have 98 units of nice self contained housing that can last decades and 3150 city residents with no fixed address? Why board up the housing and let it sit vacant of course!

@TheRealElaschuk I feel like I get even more firm in my progressive stance, and more able to articulate it as well.

@drdagly @JanisIrwin @theBurlyChef @ChefMPhillips @chefaparker I believe it is possible to vaccinate cattle against e coli. I know you asked about the health inspections in food prep but I haven't heard anyone talking about even earlier prevention.

@theLUCASTDS Please tell me an example of this in BC. Sure there are swings in approach in curriculum development, but I do not perceive this to be directed by politicians. Our current new curriculum process was instigated during the BC Liberal government. But, funding and support, for sure!

[Julia MacRae @Julia_MacRae]

You know what makes a powerful paycheque? One that includes a line for union dues. #solidarity!

[Julia MacRae @Julia_MacRae]

Also Caravan Farm theatre, truly an organization with a big heart! Wonderful.

Khalsa Aid is the best! I am so proud to have these people in our community in BC!

[Khalsa Aid Canada @khalsaaidca]

Last night team #Kelowna received a request at 9.45 pm for 100 blanket for fire evacuees. The team swung into action and the blankets were delivered at the Welcome Center (Prospera Place).

We thank our volunteers for the swift action and fulfillment of this request.

The best part of summer vacation is finding time to disconnect and get lost in a book. If you're looking for a good #unionread, check out How to Jump-Start Your Union: Lessons from the @CTULocal1. @labornotes @NYTimes

Ther ys power yn a factorye
Power yn the hande
But it all amounteth no thinge
Yf togethir we do not stande
Ther ys power yn a Union

Moneye doth speake for moneye
The devil for hys owene
Who cometh to speake
For the skin and bone?
Ther ys power yn a Union
