/5 FYI, my uncle was a firefighter for over 37 years and I have seen a lot of what they go through, you try working 16 hours a day in the heat and smoke, you have no idea what they go through, their job is to protect you and everything around you.

You know, growing up in Cape Breton, also with Newfoundland grandparents, I was taught to be independent and self sufficient. I was also taught to be respectful and kind, I understand sacrifices, common decency, and to not be selfish, so, when the government asked Nova Scotians to stay out /1
A 2024 report revealed that only 17% of UK plastic waste is recycled domestically, 58% is incinerated, some is exported to other countries for disposal or recycling.

PM on Labour Day: "Canada’s new gov is working with unions to ensure workers have skills, support & opportunity needed to succeed. We're building #CanadaStrong & workers are the heart of it. 🇨🇦’s new gov is focused on not only jobs, but high-paying careers with sustained opportunity & prosperity.”
“ mainly due to external threats. A huge army was formed in the United States during the 🇺🇸 Civil War. Meanwhile, Britain wanted to reduce its financial and military obligations to its North American colonies. These factors led to fears in 🇨🇦 of USA annexation.”
On this day in 1864 the Charlottetown Conference set Confederation in motion. It took 3 years to reach an agreement. Using snail mail, telegraphs, trains etc These days, prior to this year, Canada could not agree on anything within 3 years. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/c...
Bought two wee boxes of prune plums at Food Basics a couple days ago excited to stew them. I love stewed plums in yogurt,on granola,on porridge,on toast. Anyway... more than half are rotten! $3.99 a box. I cannot afford this kind of food waste. I am taking them back. I have the receipt and the boxes

Once he started slipping into Carney bashing with some disingenuous arguments I predicted to myself that monetization was not too far behind and here we are.
I am proud to have served as a shop steward in CUPE and PSAC. I am proud for having tried to unionize my former workplace with UNIFOR. I will always be a strong union supporter. Happy Labour Day! Bread for all, and Roses, too. ✊🏼🥖🌹
Today we recognize the workers who make our communities stronger and the unions that fought for the workplace rights and protections enjoyed today. From healthcare heroes and educators, to skilled trades, public servants, and small & medium businesses in #OakvilleEast, thank you for all that you do.

I would love opinions, please I wanna start an errand/transport business for seniors. Gorceries,dr's appointments,banking. It would also provide companionship. Thoughts,suggestions?
My suggestion is - get your basic plan on paper and contact CBC and the Minister for Families. Get the word out there the right way. Probably other seniors organizations you should contact too.
Aujourd’hui, nous rendons hommage aux travailleurs qui font vivre nos communautés, ainsi qu’aux syndicats qui ont défendu les droits et protections dont nous bénéficions. Merci aux travailleurs, aux éducateurs, aux métiers spécialisés et aux entrepreneurs de #OakvilleEst.

Yo! #Toronto Kindly tell me that you are planning to turn up in 2 weeks to counter this fucking fascist nonsense, prompted by Tommy fucking Robinson. If you need an actual invitation, pick either of the two I'm attaching after the fascist warning. #FashWatchCanada
In short - I refuse to get dumbed down to reporting on truth social posts and tweets. Tweets and X are the main sources of news. You saw yesterday how quickly the misinformation spread about DJT “going to Paris”. We need real sources, we need data. We need to stay curious and smart
Germany is firing up a lot of demand — soft data suggest industry is front-running. ECB rate cuts help too. German fiscal was always the most important policy lever to offset lost external demand. Next step for EU bull case: voters get a serious not shambolic Dutch government in the ring. 1/
this is how detailed i want the info. measurements + construction + bulletpoints. all this for a "simple" pair of jeans
i also don't need to know the model is 6'2" and weighs 165lbs! this is useless info. i need to know his chest size and waist size.
i wish brands would include more technical information in their product descriptions. i don't need to know this was inspired by timeless italian men summering in nantucket who could dress up or down. i want to know the fabric weight, leather tanning method, seam construction, etc.
hell i wish brands would post garment dimensions rather than vague sizing charts
So there’s a thing I’ve noticed repeatedly from people who are still on X, The Everything App - they’re constantly making weird accusations about Bluesky that don’t make any sense if you’re on here, and I think it’s a sign they’re deeply insecure about posting to X, The Everything App.

Tbh he got people rallying when the first 51 talk started and his posts were non-partisan. Then he slipped into Carney bashing and finally, inevitably, into monetization via Meidas. I thought he had risen above briefly to country over party but no.
Ah well anyway
I agree with the the EU Carmakers - lets actively support all options. It would make the transition faster. They also recognize that batteries are not the best option in every case. We need all of our politicians, media & "greens" to start telling the truth www.hydrogenfuelnews.com/eu-carmakers...
Just so you know - pilots are taught to fly using "paper maps" first. Many aircraft carry books of maps for this very reason. They always have an aeronautical map of their route. And a compass is built into the planes.

its kind of cool actually, when you think about it, that a recurring US holiday thing for people who have the day off is to complain about the website i work on using phrases like "Blueskyism". like, this actually happens a lot on US federal holidays, and im proud of that.

Kooky Stuff Happening Right Now.
Newsom sucks. just explain why and point out there are better candidates at this point.
it's the same dynamic. you just make yourself look like you're not part of the coalition and aren't really sincere about fighting the fascist threat.
I mean, I think Jeffries has delegitmized himself and made himself irrelevant and vulnerable by not endorsing Mamdani, right?
I think in general it's probably better to just say, "I won't vote for this person in the primary" and talk about who you think would do better (Pritzker!)
I think it mostly just makes Ds angry and feel like you're not trustworthy. and like they don't want to listen to you or engage. (I think @polphilpod.bsky.social has been making this point.)
So...I think the left sometimes feels like saying, "I won't vote for this person in the general election" is a way to push other Ds not to support that candidate. "if you nominate this person we'll walk and you'll lose!" I think that strategy really backfires though. 1

Labour Day has deep roots in Canada’s history. It started with the 1872 printers’ strike in Toronto, where workers fought for a nine-hour workday. This milestone helped shape fairer workplaces and stronger labour rights. Happy Labour Day! 🇨🇦
Rumours are not announcements.
The Trump administration has suspended all visitor visas for anyone holding a Palestinian passport, the NYT reports.
The press pool is at this point as believable as those numbers on our glowing economy.
So few words, so many lies.
Pritzker: "National Guard troops, any kind of troops, on the streets of American city don't belong unless there is an insurrection, unless there is truly an emergency. There is not."
He’s right, there.
I mean I think Kell was invited at some point Ned and really is he supposed to renew the invitation daily because that seems a little stuffy to me ( and Kell)
This is something I’ve thought about A LOT lately- the kinds of essential reporting that large traditional media has inexplicably stopped doing. For example, why aren’t there more reporters in the streets of DC, describing what it’s like? It’s truly dumbfounding
we haven’t seen much change in production location, but I anticipate Canada booming over the next year with 🇺🇸 becoming increasingly more difficult and dangerous to film. while exciting, we must maintain recycling and environmental standards on sets to promote sustainability in the industry.
A post-war plan for Gaza is circulating within Trump administration that would see the U.S. administer the war-torn enclave for at least a decade, the relocation of Gaza's population and its rebuilding as a tourist resort and manufacturing hub, the Washington Post reported on Sunday.
