Catherine 🇨🇦 It's National Black Appreciation Cat Day! Black cats are the best. Here's three of the four black cats that I have been blessed to have lived with. I so appreciate them.
I purchased broccoli crowns from Mexico last week. Before that I was buying ones I thought were from Quebec then I noticed in small print they were from the US and only packaged in Quebec.
Peel Injured Workers representative Catherine Fenech spoke about the need for a strong compensation system, including better recognition of invisible injuries, mental stress injuries, harassment-related harm, and the stigma injured workers continue to face. #DayOfMourning Note my N95.
Depression is among the most well-documented health consequence of a workplace injury. In addition to pain & dysfunction, injured workers suffer from poverty, isolation, stress from toxic workplaces & the claims process, family issues from changing roles which all impact mental health #DayofMourning
#DayofMourning Ceremony in Peel. Today we remember those whose lives were lost or forever altered from work. We recommit to fighting for safe workplaces and for a fair & just workers' compensation system
Wow, imagine being so insecure that you block someone for jokingly writing "Actually it's honour" when they said Canadians had honor. No loss on my part.
Not so great looking after all these years. I remember friends telling me at the time how disgusting it was from all the spitting. I wasn't thinking that at the time, I just wanted something to remember the day. Here's my pitcher's mound dirt from the 1992 World Series in Toronto.
If you are in Peel Region, please join us on Monday April 28 at 10 am at the Milestones of Labour Monument, 8870 McLaughlin Road #Brampton for the National #DayOfMourning Ceremony for Workers Killed, Injured or Made Ill on the Job.
The canary is the symbol for the Day of Mourning b/c workers are literally the canaries in the coal mine when it comes to occupational disease. Eg far too many cancers are related to work yet never get recognized as such. Official stats say ~1000 workers die ea yr but numbers are 10 - 13 x higher
Found out from a neighbour that our letter carrier is refusing to deliver to whole neighbourhood b/c some people didn't shovel. I only saw 1 house that didn't. Called Canada Post last night to find out if service has been suspended & this morning got this cryptic email. Never answered my question.
