But the impasse wasn't about compensation, Hossain said.
"We are fighting for democracy, equity and fairness in this deal, money is just a distraction. They want to make it a money matter, it's not all about money."

@MUNFaculty President Ash Hossain says it clearly here - the employer will spin this as a money issue, but this is about so much more. Do we want a public university where a professor can be on contract for 5 yrs, 10 yrs, 15 yrs, with no hope of a permanent job?
Do we want a university where decisions are made by overpaid administrators behind closed doors. Collegial Governance doesn’t just mean more faculty involvement, it means students, workers, community, & alumni have a say. This is OUR university.
In March 2022, Higgs said COVID was like the cold or the flu. Over the coming days I'll be combing through the @PoPNB_kindness RTI to find out what was known by GNB about long COVID by March 2022 that shows they knew COVID was not like a cold or flu. cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…
From July 30, *2020* they already knew this from PHAC: protectnb.ca/rti/SAC%20upda…
I guess it took them until Nov 2022 to vet this info and decide long COVID was relevant to the public tho

Again this is from July 2020 - looks like they well knew it wasn't a typical "respiratory" illness. Next slide from the link in previous tweet.

1/ Rising gas prices: The perfect opportunity for @MetrobusTransit to have @Joanne_NL @SeamusORegan coordinate with @TownofCBS @townofparadise @CityofStJohns @Mount_Pearl to get #parknride and #publictransit across the Metro region. #nltraffic #nlpoli #design709
2/ In all reality, a dependable public transit system could alleviate traffic in @TownofCBS, reduce car dependency, actually help with GHG reduction, and save constituents money. @DarrinBent @ShelleyMoores79 @AndreaGosse @mjhardynl @JoshBarrettCBS thoughts?
/3 The fact that we have no wide urban transit system is abhorrent. We dedicate nearly all transportation to personal vehicles, leaving a large chunk of the population venerable to small fluctuations in #gasprices. Also with no alternative option, it's own a car or poverty.
1/ The @CityofStJohns tells me I am to engage in vehiclular cycling. Cool: I got an #ebike and I ride in traffic. Cool: I've had cars zoom passed me at lethal velocities because there is no real bike infrastructure. But... How do I trigger traffic lights?
2/ I've been patiently waiting on the vehicle magnetic sensor with nothing happening and cars behind me. Sorry #nltraffic cars but I literally cannot trigger the light.
Why don't people cycle? It's not the rain eh @kerriclaireneil. It's not the wind eh @BicycleNL. It's the cars

3/ The sooner we can convert wasted on street parking (aside from downtown) and convert those to at a MINIMUM painted enforced bike gutters the better.
Pedestrians and cyclists don't match easily. For a casual ride sure but not for commuting.

The 2007 energy plan, which seems to be what the recent "moratorium" announcement was based on, states a completely different policy.
But GNL never rescinded OC2006-026, which was an outright ban, not a moratorium, that is, a temporary halt to development.

A #covid19nfld 🧵 : Less than 24h from now, The Science™️ apparently changes.

Here’s the same health minister @Johnrockdoc saying in *2018* that the government cannot force people to get vaccinated “Regardless of how beneficial vaccines are to public health,” because of the Charter. Little bit of a flip-flop there, hey?
Here’s a summary of a briefing from February by @PeterCBC, in which our @PremierofNL (who’s also an MD) stated that the vax pass will remain in place if it “alters behaviour and encourages people to get boosted.” To make the “right choice.” Medicine is a one size fits all now.
So here’s what happened on the #EmergenciesAct in @SenateCA today: speeches were going ~50/50 for & against. Solid legal arguments were presented against the Act and emotional ones presented for the Act…#unityconvoy #cdnpoli #nlpoli #freedomconvoy22
Cabinet ministers and the gov senate leader started calling senators to assess support for continuation of the Act. The numbers weren’t looking good - suggestions of around 45 against - despite most of the senators being Trudeau appointees. That’s when the decision was made and…
a hastily called news conference was arranged. The government saw the writing on the wall and pulled the plug. This is a huge victory for Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms and for the people of Canada. I was voting NO, btw. See my speech here:

NL and the Federal Government have signed a term sheet agreement on Muskrat Falls rate ministration. Details are very similar to what was announced last July $5.2 billion restructuring #nlpoli
The goal is still the same. Keeping rates below 14.7 cents (instead of going to 23 cents) is still the goal. In the first year alone there’s about $500 million going into reducing rates #nlpoli
A chunk of this money (around $200 million) is money the federal government receives from Hibernia and it’s turning it over to the province to pay for electricity.
The province is also giving up some revenue for they money it put in to find construction #nlpoli

No? Me neither.

*BREAKING* The Greene report is out and it's recommending a huge change in how government operates. Tax increases and big cuts to government. It's called "The Big Reset" #nlpoli
“The Big Reset” it focuses on four main areas:
- Reimagining government and governance
- Transition to green economy
- Focus on technology and skills development and supporting seniors
- Improving finances through tax increases and cuts

When you look at the total debt and obligations it’s $47.3 billion. That means each household owes $215,000
If unchecked we will add another $7 billion in debt in the next 6 years. Moya Greene says that’s unsustainable #nlpoli

Public Health is asking people on AC 7484 from Toronto to Deer Lake on Feb 19 to get a covid test, this is connected to the case in Western announced yesterday #covid19nfld
The province has gone back to reporting how many people are in the ICU (after the media pushed the issue yesterday) bringing it in line with other provinces that report these numbers #nlpoli
This just came out from the RCMP. It references taking a man into custody who was going to Deer Lake to "stop the election." Police officers seized various knives. #nlpoli
The RCMP are not saying at this time outside which local candidate's office the truck came to a stop. No other details expected until tomorrow. #nlpoli
I called Andrew Furey's local campaign office in Deer Lake. The woman who answered the phone said they didn't they didn't see anything outside their office. As far as they know, it didn't happen there. #nlpoli

Minister O'Regan just announced $320m for the NL offshore oil sector... it'll go to maintenance and upgrades, R&D, environmental services and clean tech. That's in addition to the $75m for emissions reduction months ago. #cdnpoli #oilandgas #nlpoli
O'Regan says his government has "unrelenting support" for the offshore sector. This will help workers and support jobs, he says #cdnpoli #oilandgas #nlpoli
O'Regan also gives a shoutout to the NL government for pledging net-zero emissions. #cdnpoli #nlpoli #oilandgas
Oof. // @VOCMBen to @FureyAndrew: "Are you confident your federal counterparts will come to the table (on oil sector support)?" // Premier Furey: "Well that's a question that's best addressed to them." ...It's really not. #nlpoli
If the point was: federal support is up to the feds, then should say that. But that's even no indication of what is being done or said between prov and feds. This shouldn't be a nail biter/big reveal here. Where does it stand?? When do you expect an update? Throne speech? What?
I'm not advocating for new support or no support, but this 'will we, won't we' is enough to... well, tweet about. / But I'm posting before coffee, so we'll see how that goes for me.
