Some time during my undergrad, I read Emile Zola's "Germinal", a novel about class struggle in a coal mining town. Even though I'd grown up in a factory town, I never really understood what working as a labourer for a large corporation did to one's psyche. I grew up on the white collar side of…

March 2014 – The Coal Mine
https://thecoalmine.wordpress.com/2014/03
Work, love, and life. BC New Democratic Party MLA, Jenny Kwan has received some very negative attention because she benefitted from fraudulent spending by her husband, an executive of the non-profit Portland Hotel Society (PHS). It comes from the world of big business. Political types are wooed by multinational corporations, and wealthy benefactors. And when they are, they get to see some luxury – luxury most of us don’t ever get to see. My favourite part of the experience is the trays of sandwiches with...
Stephen Harper: He hid in the closet for all of us. – The Coal Mine
https://thecoalmine.wordpress.com/2015/08/09/stephen-harper-he-hid-in-the-closet-for-you-and-me
Work, love, and life. Stephen Harper: He hid in the closet for all of us. As the 42nd Canadian federal election nears, I think about a particular defining moment of Stephen Harper’s leadership. It came when a mentally ill gunman, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, rampaged through the parliament buildings. I don’t wish to make light of this incident; it would have been terrifying for all involved, and certainly devastating for those close to the victims. I used to think that Harper presented the idea of Muslim extrem...
July 2015 – The Coal Mine
https://thecoalmine.wordpress.com/2015/07
Work, love, and life. The ticket having been issued, the incident should have been over. Even for an aging White high school teacher in faraway Canada, thinking about the Sandra Bland incident is upsetting. Bland reminds me of a hundred young women that I’ve taught over the years. I could imagine any one of them in the same situation as Bland, following the same bizarre script. When I watched the police video showing the young woman get pulled over. Clearly, the cop wanted far more than to be able to uph...

Work, love, and life. BC Today: Labour Conflict or School Reform? The most lucid post on Liberal public education strategy that I’ve read in a while. Did the BC Liberal government just bluff on that forty-dollar a day voucher plan or do they really want to have THAT battle over public education now? Asked former Attorney General, Geoff Plant on Twitter. Was the resounding answer from those who know what a voucher school system. 1,666 more words. August 31, 2014. Naturally, the teachers’ union took ...
November 2014 – The Coal Mine
https://thecoalmine.wordpress.com/2014/11
Work, love, and life. The proposed Mother Canada monument: one citizen’s concern. I am writing to express my concern about the proposed Mother Canada memorial, which is to be placed in a national park at Green Cove. As much as I support art, even art that is controversial, my support does not go so far as to allow an endeavor of human beings to impose itself on the pristine natural beauty of a national park. We have a National Parks Act written to prevent just such an intrusion on the park. I agree with ...

The Coalition Zine
Katherine Bernard said it best when she said. My queerness split apart a family whose handbook to the American Dream got lost in the mail. There were no guidelines for what if scenarios, no footnotes with a comfortable lesson in relearning someone you thought you knew better than this country did. Maybe the handbook just couldn’t find us living where we were never meant to survive. Who is my mother without collecting goiabas in a bowl from the tree in the front yard?

The Coal Mine | work, love, and life
Work, love, and life. Although our modern lives are far less desperate than those depicted in Zola’s novel, the theme of struggle and exploitation resonates today… more and more, it seems. I’m a teacher, husband and father. I live in the real world: the world of family and struggle – the world where people live paycheck to paycheck – the imperfect, dysfunctional, glorious world of those who struggle in the Coal Mine. 8 thoughts on “ About.

The Coal Mine Canary
The Coal Mine Canary. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Opportunity Cost is the Opportunity Lost. So we were told in High School Economics class. How many times do we stop to ponder over foregone opportunities, wondering what may have been if we only had seized that moment back then? If only it truly always did work so. Here I am stuck in another should-I-shouldn’t-I situation, and time may well run out before I may do anything to address the dilemma. 8221; at the canteen? No one may be counting, but the opportuni...
