As MAFA are local influencers and were previously on strike for "academic freedom" one can understand how they are also change agents/activists and use their union as a political organization.  Are fossil fuels really a thing of the past MAFA?  Why do they have a MAFA banner up at the Tantramar Veterans Ice Irena? 

Are MAFA about to go on strike again at Mount Allison University campus in Sackville New Brunswick?  Possibly.  https://www.mafa.ca/about/executive/

"Litvak said the union will decide on Friday, Dec. 20 the date a strike vote will be scheduled if a tentative agreement has not been reached.

“We will continue to negotiate with the administration to get a fair deal for our members which will protect the academic mission of the university,” said Litvak. “One of our most important concerns is academic understaffing. This longstanding issue urgently needs to be addressed in order to ensure that the university can continue to deliver its academic programs.”

The students are the ones hurt by strike action so I hope for the sake of those individuals who pay very good money to attend at mta.ca that these people resolve their issues and not go on strike, again.

Chris Eaton - hubby of Laura Reinsborough, NGO Mum, on local Climate Strike Action by children

Chris Eaton · "Those kids are full of hope. It’s inspiring. We’ve known the effects for a couple of generations but have lacked politicians with the nerve to stand up and make the small sacrifices to avoid bigger ones in the future. We keep cowardly passing the buck to the next generation instead of exploring alternatives, leaving them to deal with running out of oil AND more flooding and ticks and heatstrokes for the elderly and and and, when we could make much smaller sacrifices now, create new industries and jobs. If someone were taking something from you like that, wouldn’t you want to have your say?

-- Sackville Tribune Post - Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SackvilleTribunePost/

discussion was based on 'activism' and on the children being used as political tools for Agenda 2030

I contend:

the Club of Rome is not your friend young folks... the utopians would have you believe you are making a great difference but you are only helping to build their technocratic nightmare... #opt out #stop technocracy

Mr. Michael Porter on Facebook has also weighed in about the "climate strike action" youth with this insightful comment regarding "Indie Media Eastcoast" - thanks Michael - I don't know what gives some people the right to think they can publish a media website without permission from the CBC and such:

"having spent a good portion of my adult life working in radio, television and newsprint, you are anything but a media source.

You are a hate group playing off the word media in hopes of bullshitting people into believing that you aren’t a cesspool of misinformation and ignorance."

"to deny big oil is not contributing to climate change is like me claiming eating fast food didn't make me fat.
#JoinUsInTheRealWorld" [ nah, no thanks Mr. Porter ]

HONK! HONK!

Commi Climate Strike Action in Sackville NB - led by Laura Reinsborough

Laura Reinsborough wants us to believe the 'youth' are behind the 'strike action' for climate change protestors...  disruptions will continue by the 'mob' of youth rounded up to be used as pawns in this political action... its not about climate.

Canadian scientists....

I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would take 'climate science' advice from a 16 yr old.
