"A handful of companies are holding our basic needs hostage.” In Canada, the rise in grocery store prices runs parallel to the length of the lines at food banks. I doubt Carney and Ford talked about that. #Cdnpoli #ONpoli

Congrats to Julia M. Wright, DFA Member! She received the CAUT Dedicated Service Award in 2023.

Thanks, Julia, for your continued dedication to DFA and our members. #KeepDalStrong

Congrats to DFA Members Jason Haslam, Kiran Banerjee and Kassandra Luciuk for receiving the 2025 CAUT Dedicated Service Award! Their commitment, focus and energy during DFA's recent month-long lockout was outstanding. Awards presented at the DFA Solidarity Party held last night. #keepdalstrong

Thank you Councillor @lecwhite.bsky.social, MLA Lisa Lachance, and Build Nova Scotia for springing into action on Sunday to get hateful graffiti removed from a prominent spot in Halifax. It's already gone!

The climate crisis and inequity are changing our world. Let’s change our attitudes about how to solve those issues By @suzannerent.bsky.social

Received the official letter from the Clerk’s office saying the investigator found Austerity Andy didn’t breach the code of conduct by lying to the public about how much power he has. Cool cool. And now the public can’t file complaints any more but you can see that they were stacking up:

Don’t let this happen, #Halisky. Our music and art scene was what made this the coolest city in North America for a while, and there are cynical bastards working to privatize everything that doesn’t move, at your expense. Push back against the beigification of everything in sight.

AI tools are increasingly offering “emotional support” at work, while also tracking employee moods, stress levels and vulnerabilities. Researchers warn the line between support and surveillance is getting dangerously thin. buff.ly/ySmZIew

Due to Alberta’s doctor shortage, CFS have a limited pool of doctors to staff their ORs. To address this crisis, my UCP is now forcing public doctors to work in private ORs against their will! thetyee.ca/News/2025/11... #abpoli #ableg #UCPCorruption #UCPPublicInquiryNOW

Other than the hydro project, which nation is he building? Ignores climate change and wastes precious time. We also need buildings that have multiple underground floors & connect shops like PATH. But nothing here for heatwave shelters or floods or food security 🤡🔫 @mark-carney.bsky.social #cdnpoli

CBC's Day 6 pod: Mark Carney's government framed this budget as being about sacrifice but here at Generation Squeeze we say the budget doesn't do enough to address the structural inequity in government spending that hits young people the hardest.Full episode here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #cdnpoli

Iconic of the folks at CAHN at they, with far fewer resources, identified 18 people who were at this neo-Nazi event in B.C. -- while CBC, with more staff and far more resources, unmasked two. CAHN really are the GOATs at this work.

As we ready for the UCP's 2nd pre-emptice use of the notwithstanding clause in as many weeks, let's clarify what this means. 1️⃣ The move is constitutional. They *can* invoke it. 2️⃣ The UCP is not *required* to do this. There are other means to pass the law. 3️⃣ They should not use it, in my view.🧵

Not all of you on here remember the dot com crash, so I guess it's nice you'll get your own, but the downside is that this one will be much more gruesome.

pending over 33% of your income on rent? You're not alone. Vancouver, Halifax, BC & Ontario renters are hitting unsustainable affordability thresholds in 2025. See where your city ranks + what rent-to-income ratio you should aim for: shorturl.at/ZXimS

Anyone who has tried to walk to Africville knows this house. For a mere $3,900/month, enjoy life between Halifax's principal container truck route and a rail yard. Fall asleep to the relaxing sounds of marine industry. Keep abreast of the latest trends in highway-adjacent billboard advertising.

Keep an eye on these names, companies, and the way this went down in Alberta with regard to the Sask Party plans for forced rehab centres. #Sask #SkPoli

Moving is a pain. Finding a new place. Changing your address on all your docs. Rearranging your whole life. All sorts of unexpected costs. Doug Ford's government wants an entire third of the Province to live that way - in constant anxiety - all to satisfy their wealthy donors. #onpoli

During CAUT Fair Employment Week, @cupe3912.bsky.social colleagues at MSVU are on strike, and those at SMU are in conciliation, all fighting for a fair deal. It's time for universities to step up and properly recognize the value of those on precarious employment. #MakeItFair

Contract Academic Staff - they publish, mentor, innovate - all on precarious contracts. More than 80% of CAS surveyed consider their work vital to their university’s mission. Let’s treat it that way. #FairEmploymentWeek#[email protected] @dalfaculty.bsky.social@cupe3912.bsky.social

The move to offer free ferry rides during this weekend's Halifax-Dartmouth bridge closure is welcome and long overdue to become the standard practice. Too bad the ferry stops before midnight, though, as it renders it useless for getting me to and from my Jays-watching plans.

I simply do not know how anybody could have known this symbol had Third Reich associations before today... It's not as if it ever gets referenced in popular culture. There isn't some massively viral comedy sketch entirely focused on that particular skull motif...

It's @caut.bsky.social Fair Employment Week. Becca Babcock, LTA @dalhousieu.bsky.social "I'd like to focus on my students, rather than worry about unemployment." Short-term contracts for long-term needs weaken the academic environment. #KeepDalStrong @ansut.bsky.social @cupe3912.bsky.social

Oh yes, you understand that correctly. The @Dalhousie.bsky.social administration has walked itself straight into another job action through its unfair treatment of its employees. When are we going to collectively make a statement that the problem is the leaders, not the workers? #KeepDalStrong

Blue Jays postseason ads on Sportsnet+ are 90% for things I think should be illegal: Payday loans, online casinos, private MRIs.

on a personal note: Hillside United church is holding the 1st annual Donna Dodsworth Memorial Food Drive on Saturday, Oct 25th. Brave, extroverted folks will be knocking on doors asking for donations. Also an option to drop off donations at 12 flamingo drive between 10am & noon that day!
