it really is looking like i'm gonna finally have to make a choice between which citizenship i want to keep and it occurred to me that i'm not even attached to the idea of being canadian in an emotional or personal sense it's the first world privilege of having the citizenship/passport and the economic benefits of that, including the ability to (relatively) easily access funding as an artist, that makes me hesitate giving it up. but emotionally i don't think i could recover from having to formally give up my malaysian citizenship it would feel like a part of me has been denied or taken and it's not due to attachment to the state or gov of msia but to the people and culture and my family... i can find a way to live with myself and inhabit this world no longer being a citizen of the first world but i couldn't live with myself if i abandoned my home country for the first world it would feel like a betrayal of myself and my grandparents and of my own politics and i can't do it. but to embrace it wholeheartedly requires giving up that first world privilege which is scary, if you are someone who has had it most of your life, and i recognize that even having the choice is a privilege as well. but i would not be able to respect myself if i made my decision based on that fear or allowed it to guide me. the majority of people on earth do not have that ability to choose nor the economic advantage of being a western citizen; i am no different from them, not "better" nor "special", and if they can do it, i can too.

#it will also mean having to partly detransition bc the msian gov does not recognize my gender/name change #and there is no legal way to access hrt there afaik bc it is illegal to be trans #and perhaps white people wouldnt understand that in my heart i would rather be malaysian and partially closeted than canadian and out #many live their entire lives that way. i am not special #i have no affection or attachment to my canadian passport #if i had to be treated as a foreigner in canada i could stomach it #but every time i have to walk thru the foreigners line at msian border and state im not malaysian feels like a wound. it feels like a lie

The driver of a tractor-trailer has been captured on video pushing through a picket line outside a Sobeys distribution in Vaughan, bumping one striking worker on Friday night. The video was provided to CP24 by Jason Sweet, the president of Teamsters 419, the union representing the workers at the facility located on Huntington Road, west of Highway 427. York Regional Police confirmed they are on the scene investigating but did not provide details about what happened. In the video, a truck is seen slowly coming out of the facility while a striking worker stands a few metres away, blocking its path. When the truck shows no sign of slowing down, a person in a safety vest immediately bangs on the driver’s door. However, the truck continues advancing at the worker, who then yells and puts his hands on the grill in an attempt to stop it but gets pushed back.

do it scared. do it while tired. do it badly. It’s better than never doing it at all.

In times like these, make sure to set time aside for your basic needs - that includes food and sleep, but it also includes your blorbos, your interests, and the things that you want to do. If you can’t make time now, then set out a time in the future for them. Once you reach that point in the future, whether its days, weeks, or even months later, you’ll be glad that you set that time aside.

🔸The Girl In The Audience

by Patrick Lemieux

The band had agreed prior to this to allow the company Mobilevision to film them in concert. The resulting film would be toured by the company for paying audiences. Two special concerts were planned for November 24th and 25th for The Forum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 19 year old Sarah Bernard had no idea that attending the concerts would result in her being immortalized on film.

“I attended both nights for the Montreal shows, and was fortunate enough to be up front both nights,” says Sarah, “My sister Cathy and her friend Christian Giddings got three tickets for both nights and invited me to go, as they knew I was a fan, so I was lucky in that sense.”

Sarah goes on to explain, “I had been a Queen fan since the mid-1970s, when I received my first Queen album. It was Sheer Heart Attack, and it was given to me as a gift. I would often listen to certain songs and associate them with certain memories in my mind, and listening to Killer Queen always reminded me of the first time I played the album and broke in my record player at my best friend’s house. The album that I played the most in the ‘70s, however, was probably A Day at the Races. I had seen Queen two times before the Montreal shows.

At the Montreal shows, Sarah was able to make her way to a priceless spot perfect for taking pictures. "I’m sure there were reserved spots up front for professional photographers and media people outside of the film crew, but most people around me were simply fans,” she says.

Throughout the concert film, which is edited together from both nights, Sarah can be glimpsed center stage in the audience, occasionally taking pictures. Unfortunately, she no longer has the photos she took at the shows. Sarah says, “They were not the greatest quality, but I was proud of them.”

Of the band’s performance, Sarah says of Freddie, “I recall thinking that he made it very hard to NOT watch him. He was a wonderful performer, and I was reminded of how incredibly he commanded the stage. It had been a few years since I’d seen them last, and I’d forgotten what a force he really was up there. In the two shows I’d seen before, I was not as close to the stage, but I was still enchanted by how he worked the crowd. It really was like he held us all in the palm of his hand. Like we were being manipulated, and we loved it! A feeling I’ve felt with very few other acts. Brian and Roger were just as swift and amazing as I’d remembered from the previous shows. Watching Roger drum was almost hypnotic! John always seemed like the quiet and reserved type in photos and magazines, but live on stage, he always shined!”

Sarah goes on to recall, “Towards the end of the first show, I had spent some time trying to get their attention for a wave or a smile, and I made eye contact with John who nodded at me and returned my smile, which made my night even better! I also remember getting goosebumps during a few numbers both nights and even in the two previous shows I’d seen. Most notably during, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’!”

At the end of “Love Of My Life,” the cameras captured a truly moving moment in Sarah’s reaction as she stands still and glassy-eyed amid the erupting audience around her. She remembers what was going through her mind in that moment, “Every time I heard ‘Love of My Life’, I felt a bit emotional. I had fallen in love with a man who I truly saw a future with, and who used to play a few songs to serenade me while we were dating. ‘Love of My Life’ was one of those songs, and both nights I can remember feeling like I was on the verge of very happy tears just thinking about my love. He was on my mind and in my heart at the time I was being filmed.”

Sarah didn’t know she specifically had been filmed in her moment of quiet reflection, “We did see the cameras at the shows, but I never really noticed them facing me. I assumed they were filming the crowd as a mass of people.”

“Those were my last two shows with Freddie”

I understand that most unions have a formal or informal policy of not crossing another union's picket line. In the event that two or more unions share a work space, doesn't that mean that if one strikes, the other is effectively coerced into joining the strike, with all of the costs and none of the potential gains? This very issue has come up in the Vancouver, Canada transit system recently, so it's not just a hypothetical.

If there is a formal rule, it usually takes the form of a contractual right for individual workers to choose to honor picket lines, so that workers aren't penalized or lose their jobs for refusing to cross.

Those contractual rights are pretty rare at least in the North American context. Secondary boycotts (when a union launches a boycott against a company that does business with a struck company) or secondary pickets (when a union pickets a company that does business with another company) are usually not legal (It's a bit unclear whether they are legal in Canada), and the union having a rule that forbids workers or penalizes them for crossing another union's pickets would constitute a secondary boycott/picket and would be illegal under (at least U.S) labor law. Even the "right to conscience" steps up close to the line (pun intended).

That being said, sometimes unions do collectively bargain for that right - my old union (UAW 2865) had it although most U.C unions didn't have it, and the Teamsters usually have one because it's a big part of their internal culture (...when it suits them).

That being said, I do take issue with the framework of "coercion," and I certainly don't agree that the other union faces "all of the costs and none of the potential gains."

At its most fundamental level, the labor movement is and has always been about solidarity - about recognizing that we are all interconnected, that we share a common struggle and a common enemy. To be a part of the movement, to be in community with your fellow workers, is to accept a responsibility to act in solidarity with one another - and enforcing that responsibility as a price of membership in the community is not coercion, because without that no social group of any kind could exist. It's the same thing with prohibitions against scabbing or otherwise collaborating with the enemy during a struggle.

And just as that spirit of solidarity requires us to act in concert with the other members of our union, it also requires us to act in solidarity with other unions and the working class everywhere. This is not done out of guilt or moral altruism (this is a big part of my problem with the modern conception of "allyship" on the left), but out of a belief in reciprocity: we stand with others so that they will stand for us.

Or as someone more eloquent than me once put it:

#i keep seeing Americans being surprised at this & need to know if it's as common knowledge a i thought it was #polls #tumblr polls #TLDR for the tags: the strikes in America matter in other countries because American media is made in Canada a lot #if you didnt know btw yeah a lot of American shit was filmed in Canada #you can see it in the credits a lot but i know ppl dont watch credits #but yeah unless it's a very specific American landmark the movie is usually Canadian #easiest way is to check the bg for Tim's #second easiest way is to check the end of the credits for ''thanks to whatever local government for letting us film there'' #you'll see the specific province #also yes same with games. & animation. alotta animation & game studios around here #i could go work for Disney or on the next AAA game without even leaving my city #i could also work on whatever next Netflix cartoon is being worked on #so when people are like ''i'm not from America i dont need to worry about scalping'' just remember #American companies outsource to Canada a lot because it's cheaper. & other countries too #even if you aren't American or havent been to America you can still be a scalper. you can still cross the picket line #so yeah the strikes in America actually matter in other countries #because American movies are usually only like half American #gonna go watch Spiderverse in like an hour. peace

Transcription under cut:

"Like if Sanger calls down the bench, 'Jim, you're goin',' you won't know what Jim."

"Jims will likely all be going at the same ti--"

"Shut the fuck up, Sanguinet."

"Maybe if he just SAYS Jim a different way for each of the boys, where you're to. Then they'll know which ones to come where you're at."

"...did you just have a STROKE, Hitch?"

"Y'know, like... sing'um."

"You are having a fuckin'... BRAIN HEM-O-TOMA."

"Settle down..."

"Ahh, like... *sung, on a higher note each time* Jim, Jim, Jiiiiim!"

"Hitch its a HOCKEY TEAM not fucking... Miss Saigon!!"
