Her story sounds very farfetched but yeah they had a duty to investigate this properly. When they didn’t do their job reasonable doubt sets in.

I used to have the time to be good at PvP games. I used to have the reflexes too. Then I got older and PvP games left me behind, so I left them behind. Turning 40 this year

A gain for unions might be a gain for non union if we’re talking comparable industries, like union electricians or plumbers. Those are industries where people can leave their non union employer and go union, or work to unionize their employer.

For general office work that’s not the case. Government administration positions don’t all have non union equivalents. Office workers don’t generally unionize. You can’t just quit your non union job and get a government job, those are hard to come by. So a gain for government service workers is irrelevant to the general public, or in the case of increased wages just means increased taxes. There’s a sense of jealousy of those with government positions, as well as schadenfreude when they get screwed over.

That’s because everyone in the general public was forced into the office before the government workers. At least the majority of them. If the government unions were fighting a return to office for everyone else, then there would be solidarity going back to fight it for the government office workers. Instead everyone just feels that it’s a good thing the gov’t office workers are going back because hey, my employer made me go back, why should they have it any better?

Don’t worry bro it’ll only take 15 years for a 10km stretch and cost double what we estimated

I wish Canadians had some balls like that but we just bend over every time while complaining about it

Don’t worry the government will just ease requirements for recognizing foreign credentials and import a bunch of loosely qualified nurses to fill those roles. Typical Canadian solution.

I work on a construction site. We have cameras everywhere. One night a bunch of guys came with a company truck and started loading up copper pipes and going through job boxes looking for tools. The police were called and they said they weren’t going to come out because the guys might have weapons.

Same date for me, so I’m right there with you on the rate cuts

I would’ve loved to see an expansion or two for the game to tie up some storylines

Every single time

They don’t want it open, Ford wants to give that land to his condo developer buddies

"Some attendees, who have declined to speak on the record, told CBC the comedian’s set included jokes made at the expense of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, especially individuals who are transgender.

Other topics included in Schneider’s set referenced the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination policies"

Notable that he’s speaking in Russian. Don’t know what his background is but that alone makes me doubt the validity of anything he’s saying as a “Ukrainian” spokesman.

Hey kids, wanna get cancer?

Both are busy, the logic checks out

It looks exactly like the type of cat that would get mailed across the country

Trades guys are your standard peaked in high school jock types for the most part. They get very angry when they can’t call people fags or have to acknowledge transgender folks etc. At least that’s been my experience. This is changing and the new guys coming up have a different mentality but the old school ways are alive and well on the jobsite for anyone Gen x or older. The younger guys get radicalized by toxic manosphere types cause they struggle to get laid and shit like Rogan podcasts.

I think it’s important to make a distinction between union members and blue collar union members. I’m sure teachers and public servants are more likely to lean further left but all the rhetoric I’ve heard on construction sites since I got into a trade has been super conservative.

The union even endorsed Doug Ford in the latest provincial election.

For the record I have polar opposite political views to the other workers and it’s a very lonely world

Meanwhile the membership especially in construction will continue to vote blue
