This is what Labour Day was created to distract us from in Anglophone "North America", right?

As of this year's edition, I'm still looking for steadier work, better work, honest or at least honourable work. My most recent contract was fun, good, mentally healthier, better-paying than I'd had before. Too bad it was only two months.

Pleased to see the tentative agreement between Treasury Board of Canada and four bargaining groups represented by the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Hoping it goes better for the Union of Taxation Employees and soon.

I am going to do the right things as best I can whenever I can, in terms of ecological sustainability. I will fail at this from time to time, being human. I will still do the work to whatever degree I can.

Call me when AOC is president.

Leaving it at that.

Oh, and we need UBI, with disability supports on top of that for those of us needing them. Not clawed back from UBI.

And the ableism in immigration policy at our end has to go away, too.

I am both unsurprised and frightened that this idea might actually be governing the thinking of people in high places right now.

I don't know who I've lost to violence because of this aspect of their lives. Some of you have lived at risk since long before you and I got to know each other.

I'm trying to be here for if/when you need to talk.

Leaving it at that.

What happens to the various kinds of files of a temp company that goes out of business?

Asking for myself.

Once again, I didn't go to the parade. Between the Pandemic and family matters, it wasn't going to happen this year either.

However, I'm still of a mind that workers' rights matter. I plan to keep talking and voting accordingly. The next chance that I have to vote in support of such things will conclude on October 24th for the municipal elections across Ontario.

Owing to my travels on foot across various parts of eastern Ottawa today, my feet are particularly achey right now. My own fault, that.
