A People’s History of Canada
Howard Zinn Would be 100 years old today
I like this idea of learning from history. There is this guy I don’t know well. His name is Howard Zinn. He’s written a book A People’s History of the United States, about history that I see lots of prominent people trying to shut down. Really interesting reading. Im not terribly worried because more people know about Howard Zinn than ever before, and the same with most of cancel culture victims.
What may happen is that the targets of Cancel culture merely shift to a new history. It may even be a more accurate history or not…. We often think that there is a true history, but I suspect you know better.

Labour day make peace
Labour Day (Canada)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day_(Canada)
Labour Day has been marked as a statutory public holiday in Canada on the first Monday in September since 1894. However, the origins of Labour Day in Canada can be traced back to numerous local demonstrations and celebrations in earlier decades.[2] Such events assumed political significance in 1872, when an April labour demonstration in Toronto, in support of striking printers, led directly to the enactment of the Trade Unions Act, a law that confirmed the legality of unions.[3]

Ten years later, on July 22, 1882, a huge labour celebration in Toronto attracted the attention of the American labour leader Peter J. McGuire, who organized a similar parade in New York City on September 5 that year. Unions associated with the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor in both Canada and the United States subsequently promoted parades and festivals on the first Monday in September. In Canada during these years, local celebrations took place in Hamilton, Oshawa, St. Catharines, Ottawa, and London in Ontario, as well as Montreal, Quebec; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Vancouver, BC. Montreal declared a civic holiday in 1889. In Nova Scotia, coal miners had been holding picnics and parades since 1880 to celebrate the anniversary of their union, the Provincial Workmen’s Association, first organized in 1879.[3]
In 1889, the Royal Commission on the Relations of Labor and Capital in Canada recommended recognition of an official “labour day” by the federal government. In March and April 1894, unions lobbied Parliament to recognize Labour Day as a public holiday. Legislation was introduced in May by Prime Minister John Sparrow David Thompson and received royal assent in July 1894.[3]

Traditions[edit]
An old-fashioned tradition in Canada and the United States frowns upon the wearing of white after Labour Day. Explanations for this tradition vary; the most common is that white is a summer colour and Labour Day unofficially marks the end of summer. The rule may have been intended as a status symbol for new members of the upper and middle classes in the late 19th and early 20th century.[4]
A Labour Day tradition in Atlantic Canada is the Wharf Rat Rally in Digby, Nova Scotia, while the rest of Canada watches the Labour Day Classic, a Canadian Football League event where rivals like Calgary Stampeders & Edmonton Elks, Hamilton Tiger-Cats & Toronto Argonauts (except in the 2011 and 2013 seasons, due to scheduling conflicts), and Saskatchewan Roughriders & Winnipeg Blue Bombers play on Labour Day weekend. Before the ending of the Ottawa Renegades after the 2005 season, that team played the nearby Montreal Alouettes on Labour Day weekend. Since the 2014 CFL season, when the Ottawa Redblacks began play, the Montreal–Ottawa Labour Day tradition has once again been observed. Likewise, Ontario University Athletics has a long-established tradition to play university football on Labour Day.
There is an annual Labour Day parade in Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland. The centennial anniversary in 2020 was replaced with an online ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.[5][6]

Helen (Ma) Armstrong (née Jury), labour activist, women’s rights activist (born 17 June 1875 in Toronto, Ontario; died 17 April 1947 in Los Angeles, California). Helen Armstrong was a labour activist who fought for the rights of working-class women throughout her life. She was the leader of the Winnipeg Women’s Labor League and a central figure in the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike. She campaigned for unions, a minimum wage and social security, and against conscription. Armstrong was arrested for her activism at least three times, including twice during the Winnipeg General Strike. Historian Esyllt Jones described Helen Armstrong as “the exception in a male-dominated labour movement.”

Jeanne Henriette Corbin, communist activist and union organizer (born in March 1906 in Cellettes, France; died 7 May 1944 in London, Ontario). A member of the Communist Party of Canada and secretary of the Canadian Labour Defense League, she defended the rights of Canadian workers for over 15 years. She gained particular prominence for her role in the lumber workers’ strike in Rouyn, Quebec in 1933.
Sleeping Car Porters in Canada
Sleeping car porters were railway employees who attended to passengers aboard sleeping cars. Porters were responsible for passengers’ needs throughout a train trip, including carrying luggage, setting up beds, pressing clothes and shining shoes, and serving food and beverages, among other services. The vast majority of sleeping car porters were Black men and the position was one of only a few job opportunities available to Black men in Canada. While the position carried respect and prestige for Black men in their communities, the work demanded long hours for little pay. Porters could be fired suddenly and were often subjected to racist treatment. Black Canadian porters formed the first Black railway union in North America (1917) and became members of the larger Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in 1939. Both unions combatted racism and the many challenges that porters experienced on the job.

Family is at the top. It’s the most important for me taking care of my family and so that kind of brings me to peace.

What is going on today is that a right wing organization is trying to stir up enough chaos to get the average citizen to vote for letting artificial intelligence take over. I don’t really know if I believe that because if artificial intelligence becomes as potent as is suggested it’s gonna have no problem at all, convincing the average citizen to do whatever it wants to do

12. Environment.Green New Deal (GND) proposals call for public policy to address climate change along with achieving other social aims like job creation and reducing economic inequality. The name refers back to the New Deal, a set of social and economic reforms and public works projects undertaken by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in response to the Great Depression.[1] The Green New Deal combines Roosevelt’s economic approach with modern ideas such as renewable energy and resource efficiency.[2][3]
Conclusion
A Sosillylogical journey into the nature of Peace. In this episodic tribute to curiosity I Present Rayanne Charlie. I know her as my sister but her Journey and the knowledge she has gained on that journey begs to be shared. And so I present a slice of her to you Shortly.
Can we learn from History. Even when we remember it. And what do we learn. I am suspect here…
History is part of Sociology. Other tools are used as well but I wonder What has Sociology to say about Peace. And how does that social perspective meld with what Rayanne Charlie has to say about Peace.
Peace studies have long been informed by sociology, particularly by the concept of positive peace Johan Galtung, the father of peace studies often refers to the distinction between ‘negative peace’ and ‘positive peace’ (e.g. Galtung 1996). Negative peace refers to the absence of violence. When, for example, a ceasefire is enacted, a negative peace will ensue. It is negative because something undesirable stopped happening (e.g. the violence stopped, the oppression ended). Positive peace is filled with positive content such as restoration of relationships, the creation of social systems that serve the needs of the whole population and the constructive resolution of conflict.
So Peace does not mean the total absence of any conflict. It means the absence of violence in all forms and the unfolding of conflict in a constructive way.
Peace therefore exists where people are interacting non-violently and are managing their conflict positively – with respectful attention to the legitimate needs and interest of all concerned.
The authors of this dossier consider peace as well-managed social conflict. This definition was decided on during Irenees’ Peace workshop held in South Africa in May 2007.
How does Peace Intersect the following 12 subjects Brief answers. You can if you wish focus on any question you want and the order you want. They are all hugely broad and intentionally so.
1. Peace Health, welfare tell me a bit about your journey. To health
2. Crime and deviance. Marijuana
3. Religion
4. Family
5. Education
Ann Mische is associate professor of sociology and peace studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her work focuses on processes of communication, deliberation and leadership in social movements and democratic politics. Using a combination of interpretive and network-analytic approaches, she discusses the challenges to leadership and coalition building posed by the participation of activists in multiple institutional sectors, including partisan, civic, religious, corporate, labor and social movement networks. While such intersections can generate opportunities for institutional innovation and mediation, they can also produce conflicts and tensions that constrain attempts at political transformation.
6. Race. Indigenous Robin Wall Kimmerer Who is the State University of New York Distinguished Teaching Professor at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse. She is founding director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. Her books include “Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses” and “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants.”
This is the way she writes about moss…
“The rocks are beyond slow, beyond strong, and yet yielding to a soft green breath as powerful as a glacier, the mosses wearing away their surfaces, grain by grain bringing them slowly back to sand. There is an ancient conversation going on between mosses and rocks, poetry to be sure. About light and shadow and the drift of continents.”

Conclusion
What I hope to achieve with this presentation is to give you some idea of what I have planned. I hope to learn a lot more about what I’m allowed to access as far as media. So far I’ve heard a bit about what I can’t access, but what I want to hear is ‘how’ can I access clips of everything… even Beatles Stuff. I see Joe Rogan pulling clips off of the internet so I’m thinking some of it is possible and I know about Rick Prelingers archive but learning how to use it would be helpful. I was hoping the show on Ethics might start the process but as you know it was canceled.

This is not my sister, but My sister Rayanne has been in the thick of First Nation life having lived on a reserve for 30 long years. She has taught in a public school system for 35 years. she is a Drama plus teacher and a pipe carrying educator, a national champion gymnast and so much more. She has agreed to give me some time after the 22nd. At that time We will do an interview in which I try to listen to what she has to say. Her Journey has led her down a number of paths that intersects my journey as well and I will try to highlight such nodes.
When I agreed to participate in this course I did not know what I was getting into. I am a Janitor by trade, and was volunteering to help keep the Dawson studio clean when COVID hit. At that time I was corralled into doing a 15 minute update four days a week. I sucked at it. I don’t know music very well and I often stumble and freeze on the mike. But strangely I like it.. I like the research and I like pushing myself…. I have a 2 hr show late Thursday night called UcOtt Raddio Daddio and I Tech a Show through an Instreamer from McDonald Lodge called Marlene’s Rockin’ News. And I tech other stuff. Which I am still trying to figure out. At any rate I need to learn loads of stuff if I am going to do a half decent job so I have tried to involve myself as deeply as I can. This, of course, somehow lead me here, and left me with little time, but I remain eager.
Don’t shoot I’m just the Janitor. I am extremely busy of my own doing. I like being busy but I feel this show has hardly started and already I am feeling pushed. I do like to be pushed, but not so much off a cliff. Even when I am wearing a parachute I like to choose some things like who packs my chute. Please don’t take this as a complaint I’m here by choice and have already picked up some tips. I just want to keep expectations in line with my ability.
I am hoping that this will be a pretty simple interview in that I will try to draw my questions from a list of 12 subjects and consider how they intersect with Peace. The hope is to develop a stronger sense of what I mean when I use the term Peace.
