Jason Congdon
I say the obvious part out loud (and then some)
Radical democratic pragmatist (this is the way)
Proud partner & joyous parent (for whom I live)
SFUCMNS is the best (@sfucmns.bsky.social)
life is present ... THE POINT IS TO CHANGE IT
- Where are @newwestminster.bsky.social and @governmentofbc.bsky.social on this? I know engagement ain't easy, but we don't have to participate in nefarious platforms, either. #newwest #britishcolumbia
- I appreciate @jplett.bsky.social & @kehyslop.bsky.social's work to draw attention to this and hope others in #newwest & elsewhere will advocate to @lisabeare.bsky.social, @davidebybc.bsky.social, &c., to improve support for parents & kids. Re #SeamlessDay, #QueensboroughSchoolBus & many other items!
- We have one of these in #newwest. Says no to many things (taxes: bad!), but never to a media spot; speaks well but says little; etc. *Maybe* good for him & for his media friends? *Definitely* bad for dumbing down our political culture in general. Thanks @rachelgilmore.bsky.social for the context.

- I moved to #NewWest hopeful to join a politically decent community. In many ways, that's our town. But the past few years I'm alarmed by some poor & petty politics unfolding here. #DanielFontaine & #NWP want to lead, but they aren't respecting this City our neighbours. tinyurl.com/39das44k

- An excellent & informative analysis of the fiscal bind #NewWest #SD40 & other districts face in providing inclusive #educationforall. I agree: @davidebybc.bsky.social & @lisabeare.bsky.social need to step up. Good argumentation, @jplett.bsky.social!
- "the politics of Canada’s anti-Indigenous industry" that @seancarleton.bsky.social describes in @canadiandimension.bsky.social abide in #NewWest, too. Ideology against Indigenous rights, human rights, & social justice in general percolate in here local blogs, social media, etc. Great interview.
- I've got a new piece for @canadiandimension.bsky.social about residential school denialism, the Making a Killing documentary, and the politics of Canada's anti-Indigenous industry: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

Many of the new positions are based in Central and Western Canada. My editor's blog: www.cbc.ca/news/editors...

- Very impressive: running every street of #newwest is a very cool achievement! Great job @canspice.bsky.social - what made you decide to do that?
- So excited #NewWest has a new paper! Congrats @freshetnews.bsky.social—such an important achievement in response to corporate blighting of #localnews. Our communities need & deserve the mirror you hold up. Thank you @theresamc.bsky.social, @janiscleugh.bsky.social, Mario Bartel & Cornelia Naylor!

- Reposted by Jason CongdonIt’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

- How can an @sfu.ca spokesperson claim Kulbir Kaila's death had "nothing to do with the working environment" when the coroner is still investigating? A death on a hot day in July, at a campus with inconsistent HVAC, no less? #contractingout = #passingthebuck = wrong: #contractworkerjustice already!

- All Canadian party leaders would be well-advised to recognize that investing in the post-secondary sector is investing in Canada's current & future economic & cultural health. Pierre would be well-served to learn that woke does not describe Canadian universities in the least! #cdnpoli #universities
