And we're leaving Ottawa! Thanks for having me and/or I'm sorry #YOW

Passed some resolutions, had some debate, hearing from people in so many other sectors affected by the same things. Day 2's just half over, looking forward to the rest! #Unifor #cc2026 #YOW

But the highlight is I cut a badass figure in the slideshow from the rally, shared on the Facebook page. Rescued that for my own safekeeping https://www.actionjay.com/2026/08/so-i-guess-im-bit-of-union-guy.html

I spent most of Monday in Ottawa at the conference I was attending, but managed to snap a few street shots around the University of Ottawa area (including a student who asked me to take his pic).
