Note I say “change strategy,” not “leave” or “stop.”
Who knows what’s next, but my expectation is for them to switch to things that are less visible, things that don’t look so bad on video. Maybe that means night raids? More likely, I’m guessing it means more rural action, targeting of remote job sites (e.g. farms), nabbing people from prisons, more activity in detention camps that disallow observers, that kind of thing.

Okay, this Kagi translation tool is pretty entertaining (and an absolute gem as a guerilla marketing tactic, by which I mean it be a fine way to plunder more business, me hearty!)

UCLA engineers are turning disaster into data after L.A.'s devastating fires.
They've tested soil on over 1,000 properties for toxic metals like lead and arsenic, mapped infrastructure damage, and analyzed water quality—all to help communities recover faster and prepare better for the next fire.

Rob Shaw is solidifying his position as the new Dean of Right Wing, anti-Worker Legislative Reporters in British Columbia.
With these gems, it's incredible that he has an education or goes to a doctor at all…
"The BCTF is typically one of the most militant unions, and quickly prone to job action.”
BCTF Strikes since 2000:
2005
2014
phew! almost got to three!
Remember that this was at the time of a union-busting BC Liberal government that had to go to the Supreme Court of Canada to get told that they ripped up union contracts unconstitutionally and were *forced* to compensate many years later.
"The ratification is a win for a New Democrat government. And extraordinarily expensive for taxpayers, too."
“extraordinarily expensive. Really? How is a wage increase that is *barely* in line with inflation after literally decades of below-inflation increases, “extraordinary”? I'll wait.
"Teachers can thank the BCGEU for turning what was an initial 3.5 per cent wage offer over two years by government, into a more than 12 per cent increase over four that is now forming the baseline for all other union deals."
Indeed! For those who can do math, that means 3% each of 4 years instead of 3.5 over two. But thanks Rob for making it seem like 4 times more!
Thanks BCGEU members for your solidarity and perceverence! I have been on strike. It sucks HARD. But it was worth it and it works.
"The ratification by the BCTF means roughly half of the 450,000 public sector employees now have deals of some sort with the province. Two majors left on the table are nurses and doctors.”
Oh no! Let’s not pay doctors and nurses! Surely they'll stay regardless in our incredibly overworked and under resourced healthcare system!
Like how does Mr Shaw believe we are to stay competitive or attract people. Or is he just not worried about getting sick….
"The skyrocketing deficit has the NDP government inking sweetheart deals with organized labour on the one hand, while pledging to cut public sector jobs with the other.”
Ya, we could have kept those public sector jobs if it weren't for fools like you who demanded governments cut taxes over the past 20 years instead of reasonable rises to... again…keep up with inflation and retain service!
It is a crappy balancing act that the NDP is doing and I do not like a lot of it. At the same time as Mr. Shaw complains about "sweetheart deals" for people in post-secondary, I am seeing historic cuts in that same sector. It's a blood bath actually. So the potential wage increases are going to be welcome, but feel pretty hollow as so many collegues have left.
Rob Shaw would have had us all lose our jobs and take a pay cut at the next one for good measure.
Thanks but no thanks Rob, your world view sucks.

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Report Back from COP30, Reflections on Change-Making and Next Steps. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
In November 2025, Seed the Commons participated in the People’s Summit Towards COP30. We presented a talk as part of the Just Transition axis, and the last day of the summit we marched with tens of thousands of other activists from around the world to demand real solutions to our climate crisis. Alongside organizations such as SEUI 1021 and the SF Labor Council, Seed the Commons co-organized a solidarity climate march on the same day in San Francisco. We merged it with a People Over Billionai…

Given how horribly my society is behaving I have decided to give at least as much money as I spend on myself to charity each of the next 3 years.
I don't spend much, compared to my middle class USA peers (say $60,000 a year for housing, health insurance, food, car, technology...). Even that is up from what I used to spend and will go higher I think the next 3 years (as I reduce my long time frugality).
I think it is important for us to take action to protect the USA and the …

Part 3 - Moving forward
One of Mastodon's strengths is its decentralized structure. That also means no centralized marketing or development strategy focused on growth, particularly in Canada. Perhaps a volunteer group could take on that development plan and grow the Canadian user base.
- A vision of what an ideal future state would look like would benefit the planning and action steps. Collecting input from Canadian admins is recommended.
- We shouldn't burden existing admins beyond their current responsibilities. Volunteers would take actions like reaching out to politicians or government agencies.
Potential next steps:
1) Host a web meeting with interested Canadian admins to collect input on a shared vision for this project.
2) Collect volunteers who would be interested in reaching out to politicians or government agencies about creating a presence on Mastodon.
3) Select members of the group to be part of a steering committee.
4) Create a unique hashtag for this project for reporting and followers.

Wife is overseas and had to call me with Google Meet.
Ended the call with, "glad we're aligned and hope to complete these action items by our next call."

Briefly tabling the question of legality, of which I believe this to be a completely indefensible & illegal action, anyone even superficially versed in US history knows that the US has an inglorious track record of failures in attempting regime changes.
If the rationale wasn’t clear or defensible, how well thought out will the next steps be? This president is not exactly known for having detailed plans.
Improvising your way through a war? Recipe for disaster.
