I was saddened to hear that Nora Fueten passed away on 10 January 2024.
Nora was my campaign manager for the 2019 federal election. Nora was highly qualified for this, as she had previous run in the federal elections in 2011 and 2008 gaining 7% of the vote, the highest ever achieved by a Green Party candidate in Brantford-Brant.
During the 2019 campaign Nora was indefatigable. She came along on all the door-to-door trips, every debate, filled in my gaps during media interviews, and greeted everyone at every festival and fair. Nora knew everyone, and everyone knew Nora.
Nora was not only a good political mentor, but a fashion consultant as well. Early in the campaign she said “You’ll never win the election with those baggy pants”, and I had to update my wardrobe. Whether it was Nora’s political acumen or good fashion sense, it resulted in a good election campaign.
The funeral service will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, 20 January 2024 at at First United Church, 16 William Street West, Waterloo

I'm not leaving here, but I check this far too infrequently... -

Now that the #BirdSite nest has a cuckoo's egg, maybe things will pick up around here... -

Tonight at 6:30pm: Come join me at @DescendantsBeer for the @CanadianGreens #Kitchener Centre and #Waterloo candidate nomination contest! I'd go just for the music by @JoniNehRita and Craig McNair (but I'm running to be the @KCGreenParty candidate) https://gs.jonkman.ca/url/125231 #KitCen -

For this year's Federal Election I'm seeking the Green Party of Canada nomination in Kitchener Centre. To nominate you must be a #GreenParty member 30 days before the nomination, that's TODAY! $10 gets you a 1 year membership: https://www.greenparty.ca/en/civicrm/contribute/transact?id=1&source=NC.W.MABU
Once you've got your membership come to the Joint Nomination Party for #Kitchener and #Waterloo on 6 March, where you can cast a #RankedBallot to choose the candidate: https://gs.jonkman.ca/url/125231 … There will be snacks! -

I'm going out to our MPP's office this afternoon to protest the cut of the $15/hr legislation, and all the other rollbacks such as paid sick days, equal pay rules and laws to make it easier to join a union. https://bobjonkman.ca/event/waterloo-action-to-defend-15-min-wage-decent-work-laws/?instance_id=402 #ONpoli #Ontario -

@Niquarl Unfortunately, in our case, this guy is probably going to be our next premier. Although, I've yet to hear a solid articulation of why people dislike the current government and want a slash-and-burn government to replace them. Mostly, people are caught up in a weird tribalism. So many people here think of themselves as conservative, even though they actually aren't if you talk to them without using labels or politics jargon. It's very strange.

Given a choice between #basicincome and #jobgurantees, I'll take #basicincome. I'm not interested in working a government-issued bullshit job.

Polls suggest my riding is going PC because of a near-50/50 NDP/Lib split. I actually *like* most of what Wynne did, but it all amounts to nothing because she failed to implement !ElectoralReform. Wynne's legacy is a Doug Ford government. !cdnpoli -

@Modern_Industrial Probably more "vote for us so we can hold the balance of power in a minority government," but that's arguably the same thing, since the threat in such a situation is always that they can take down the government if they withdraw their support.
