The house didn’t fall today. Guess I’m still going to Ottawa next week! #clclobbyday #cdnpoli

Starbucks workers in the US are on strike. Think twice before you pop in to grab a peppermint mocha. Respect the picket line and help workers secure a fair deal. Worker rights anywhere are worker rights everywhere. jacobin.com/2025/11/star...

A little mouse (Fievel) is trapped on my carriage of the WCE this evening. The little guy gonna start a new life in the Tri-Cities and beyond 😂💛

Managed to see a tiny slither of Northern Lights tonight. Love seeing everyone else’s pictures!

Hahaha 💀 faaaaacts

I just cringe every time Pierre Poilievre talks about the Liberals wasting money. My guy, you lost an election, stayed in a house you weren’t entitled to and ran in another riding when you didn’t need to. Give it a rest, shhhhhh 🤫

I think we have some really great people running for the leadership of the NDP. 4/5 candidates spoke at my local EDA AGM tonight (either in person, online or recorded a video). Once the new year comes around I’ll commit more to campaigning, I’ve got my own union election to win first!!

At least the Whitecaps won, round 2 let’s go 🥳 #football #whitecaps

It’s the WCE birthday tomorrow and there’s a special train going downtown on a Saturday. Will I be on it? I sure will! We need more trains in Canada, especially in BC! #transit #trains #happybirthdayWCE 🚂

What a start!! #bluejays

Come on Canadian Labour folks. We've got a battle to fight.

It’s okay, Jays. You’ll get ‘em in game four, which starts ten minutes from now.

Almost 6 hours 😆 #bluejays

I want to go to bed but I’ve also spent the last 5 hours watching the Blue Jays game so I’m committed 😮‍💨 😭

I hope I can watch this in Canada (or maybe see it in England when I’m there in December).

Missed most of the NDP Leader debate but I tuned in to hear Avi Lewis say “General Strike”. Definitely something I can get behind 👏🏻 it’s long overdue. I will hopefully rewatch later as it’s the NWDLC meeting tonight!

How does the PWHL get off charging $160-$275 for a jersey of a no named team? As a “founding season ticket holder” I’ve had nothing in the way of exclusivity or thank you for signing up for the year. At least with the Whitecaps I get a scarf 😂👀

I had a beaver tail for the first time today. It was soooooo good 😋 too rich to eat regularly, maybe I’ll get one in Ottawa next month 👀

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends. This morning started with a zoom call with like minded folks and this afternoon will be spent with my inlaws eating too much. Thankful and lucky that this is my life and I get to call British Columbia my home 💛🇨🇦

This thanksgiving, let’s turn gratitude into action: 🧡Support your local food bank 🫶Lend a hand in your community 💪Stand with the workers who keep our country moving ✊Uphold the rights of Indigenous peoples #cdnpoli #NDP #rob4leader

“If the Liberals truly believe in workers’ rights, they must stop siding with corporate interests and commit to repealing Section 107 once and for all. Because workers’ rights are not optional — they are the foundation of a fair and just democracy.”

That's why I and my @ndp.ca colleagues tabled Bill C-247 to remove Section 107 from the Canada Labour Code. Contact your MP today and tell them to support #BillC247 and uphold workers' rights!

Time and again the Liberals have violated workers' constitutional right to strike by abusing Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, showing they're with corporations, not workers. Workers' rights are fundamental to democracy, not a minor inconvenience to be overridden without a second thought.

From coast to coast to coast, working people are demanding a party that truly represents them, one that fights for their families, their jobs, and their communities. They deserve that. It’s time to make a workers’ party. robashton.ca #cdnpoli #rob4leader #NDP

I was just on Instagram and an advert for a watch appeared. So I clicked on it, watched their little promo, slowly thinking this is so pretty I wonder how much it is … $133,000 + tax 😮💀 I also keep seeing a private yacht tour of Asia advert too. How and why am I on this algorithm? 😣

Dunno if I’m crazy but I’m probably going to ditch the car and take the WCE & Skytrain to YVR 4/5 days a week this winter. Sick of the 1hr 10min+ commute each way (was 1 hr 40min the other day). Cool that we keep adding all this housing without better transit and roads 👍🏻 #transit

So glad for English subtitles because Love is Blind France is too fast for my French listening skills 😅

Are you even in Prince Rupert if it’s not raining? 😂😭🌧️

Calgary airport security screeners at 'breaking point' over poor working conditions, union says Unifor reports its members, employed by Paladin at the Calgary International Airport, have had breaks delayed or denied, and access to washrooms and drin... #cbc #cbc-top-stories #Canada

Shocking to see Ottawa routinely invoking Section 107 to break strikes—sidestepping Parliament and undermining workers’ Charter-protected right to collectively bargain. We must stop this abuse of power. I’m exploring real legislative fixes. thetyee.ca/News/2025/09...

I attended the Labour Day event in Burnaby today hosted by the NWDLC & VDLC with my IAM Union fam! 🍿 #IAMUnion #LabourDay #UnionStrong

"Strong unions need women. Women must have spaces to organise. Women’s issues must be part of the bargaining agenda. Women must be in leadership." 👏 Sheela Naikwade, MSTKS, at @atucomms.bsky.social International Convention #OurVoiceOurPower #OurPublicTransport #ThisIsOurWorldToo

Solidarity with CUPE ✊🏻 For these workers it’s section 107 that’s being abused. In my workplace it’s section 87.4. Federally regulated employers know they don’t have to bargain because the gov will bail them out. The abuse of the Canadian Charter and workers rights need to stop! #unionstrong #canlab

At the Pearson rally @lanapayne.bsky.social blasted the federal gov’t for forcing CUPE #flightattendants into arbitration. “You have tipped the scales - we will not stand for it. You have given every single federal employer the message they don’t have to bargain. Expect even more conflict.” #canlab

I went out to YVR with my IAM fam this morning to show support and solidarity to the striking Air Canada Flight Attendants. #unpaidworkwontfly #canlab

Welcome to Brutal British Columbia, where taxpayer dollars are used to shoot wolves from helicopters whilst the government allows logging in sensitive caribou habitat. It’s time to stop scapegoating the wolves! pacificwild.donorsupport.co/page/FUNJRRM...

National Organizer Hope Giselle has a message that Americans 🇺🇸 need to immediately hear: #uspol

When we build in BC, we build BC jobs, BC communities, BC's economy and BC's future. #BCLab

Good luck to the Air Canada flight attendants ✊🏻 #strikevote #canlab

Pour la 3ème année de suite, le Canada brûle. 🌡️ Cette catastrophe est favorisée par les températures anormalement élevées ainsi que les sécheresses précoces, qui rassemblent toutes les conditions propices au déclenchement, au maintien et à la propagation des incendies. 🧵

Ferries for the people of British Columbia should be built right here in our shipyards. Not China. Sign & share. nwmd.social/s/copylink/4...

So proud of the England Women’s team winning the Euros! They inspire the next generation of little girls to play the sport they love. When I was a young girl I wasn’t allowed to play football at school because I wasn’t a boy (I’m not even 40 so it’s not too long ago). Well done ladies 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Same. Since I was a kid, I’ve always been concerned for the planet 🌎

Gisele Pelicot has been awarded France’s top civic honour for her courage in being a voice for victim-survivors of sexual violence. She has been named knight of the Legion of Honour on a list announced ahead of France’s Bastille Day. womensagenda.com.au/politics/wor...

As of today I’m a PWHL Vancouver season ticket holder! 🏒

So tempted to spend New Years Eve in Scotland. Definitely will be visiting Edinburgh during their winter festival 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Days like today are hard, when there’s a new baby in the family (my niece) and I live on the other side of the world. She’s so cute, just spent over an hour chatting to my brother and getting glimpses of her 🥰
