Exciting news: my union @pen-guild.bsky.social won our fight to hold management accountable for rolling out AI tools with no notice & for failing to hold the bots to the same standards all of us humans must follow — in violation of the contract they agreed to. A neutral arbiter said we were right!

The same argument is being used against these women that Mike Strange #NiagaraFalls Councillor uses, saying he hasn't had his trial yet. Then let him step aside until the trial to ensure the safety of women. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Many Canadians say they are against Trump but voted for Carney who is openly pushing the same policies. He's not putting his elbows up,, he is bowing down deeply. Whether it's immigration crackdowns, boosting military and border spending while slashing public services, or building oil pipelines.

Letter to editor of #Niagara Dailies by Regional Councillor Haley Bateman "...waivers are considered when a project...providing affordable housing or community-serving facilities. In this case, the development does not meet any of those criteria." www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/opinion/lett...

Letter in #Niagara Dailies: "How can residents have faith in the Region when councillors waive development charges while simultaneously considering budget cuts to overnight snow plowing, seniors in long-term care...affordable child care?" www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/opinion/lett...

When I worked at Sitel there were visually impaired people who used special screens with very large displays. Everyone has a duty to accommodate. "But it’s only going to help those people if they see it and if they talk about it...if they speak up.” www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/news/niagara...

One of the leaders of a new white supremacist group, Dominion Society, lives in #Niagara NOTL per local news. They have done: postering, overpass rally, showed up at Remembrance Day event. Openly reasserting white supremacy via "remigration" i.e. "ethnic cleansing." niagaranow.com/opinion.phtm...

WOW! @RepThomasMassie tells reporters that Trump has tried to stop the release of the Epstein files to protect some of his donors, but also because "Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies."

Regime change in #Venezuela is to try to take down #Cuba for the millionth time

More on of white supremacist groups, some that train in #Niagara. "we are actually preparing for violence, we are actually on stand by" (analysis of commentator) Some in local vigilante groups using crimes against kids for power and grift. Politicians bow to them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4M2...

Do *you* know where you'll be deported to? youtu.be/xwFv4e-1PDE?... (20 years ago when I was deported to Canada, Homeland Security considered sending me to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan instead. It can happen to anyone!)

Dr.Hocking debunks excuses for Australia Gov Gen Kerr dismissing Labour govt in 1975: didn't have to, had better precedence, is the one who made a political into constitutional crisis. Problem of "supply" (budget) was about to be solved. From Auspol Explained www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_RJ...

Dr. Jenny Hocking had to go to Canada's archives for truth on Australia's Governor General conspiring in 1975 with the conservative (Liberal Party) opposition to dismiss a progressive Labour government because the truth has been buried deep. From Auspol Explained www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_RJ...

‼️ UPCOMING EVENTS FOR NOVEMBER ‼️

City of #StCatharines' war on the unhoused takes a new turn as some Councillors try to make it even harder to get emergency shelter. They want to add barriers to #Niagara's largest shelter. Emily Beth points out "people will die" (no exaggeration!) if their added restrictions go through.

More from CBC on expose of white supremacist group Second Sons. Earlier they had a masked rally in #Niagara. Many using anger over local assaults on children to push their agenda openly associate with promoters of Second Sons white supremacy. They are OK w racism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTfm...

Toronto City Hall is raising the Palestinian flag, something #Niagara elected officials said was too controversial although lighting up in #Israel and Ukraine colours was no problem for them. Once again #Niagara is left behind in the dust.

Hate it when crosswords have wrong answers/clues.

Carney says we need to cut public services because we don't have enough money. But he cuts luxury taxes on those who have the money to pay for the services the rest of us need. He's robbing the poor to pay the rich. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/11/08/c...

Carney announced his budget will cut 10% of federal public service jobs. That's the same as what Trump announced! (300,000 out of 2.87 million = 10.5%). The same Canadians who say they are against Trump support Carney pushing through the same policy of cuts to public services for the 99%,

In a landmark decision in Canadian law, the Cowichan Tribes in B.C. have obtained Aboriginal title over a portion of land on the Fraser River. To explain what led to the decision, we need to go back in history to 1853.

Heartwarming scenes unfolded in Gaza as Israel released five Palestinian prisoners under a fragile ceasefire with Hamas, reuniting them with their families. They were freed hours after Gaza’s health ministry received the bodies of 45 Palestinians returned from Israel.
