I would expect nothing less.
Random middle class, middle aged, tech guy in Canada. It can happen here, whatever "it" may be. "Screw you, I've got mine" is not the highest moral calling we can aspire to.

A fun thing to remember on Labour Day is that Mark Carney eliminated the Cabinet role Minister of Labour, a position that had existed for more than a century under governments of all stripes, and Canada is currently without a labour minister for the first time since 1909.

There's a difference between acute panic and this longstanding dread. For example the 2018 Hawaiian missile false alarm did result in a birth rate bump. We've all been watching the collapse for years and it's just an exhausting slog.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

There are naive sorts who believe it is summer for 3 more weeks. Any Boomer who has ever been to school in Canada knows fall begins when school does, right after Labour Day, ie it is autumn tomorrow, this is the last day of summer. Some say fall starts TODAY, and that’s a fair position to take.
