LOL, I worked in food retail and Canadians would come in with a long list of requirements for working. No weekends, no evenings, constantly calling in sick. The foreign workers were happy to get a job and they worked harder. Very much what we needed in a tourist town. No one forced us to hire anyone

I’m not alright with an ‘okayish’ life like Hungary. Trump has studied Viktor Orban far too long. Maybe people should be looking at Hungary’s economy because authoritarianism isn’t helping Hungary and it’s not going to help the US.

This only applies to about 15% of goods not covered by the Can/US/Mex trade deal; since retaliatory tariffs are simply import taxes paid by Canadians, Carney has chosen to not smack Canadians in the head with price hikes. Anyone opposing this {Poilievre and supporters) is a demonstrable nitwit.

Trump isn’t sending the Guard to Chicago & New York because of crime. Crime is falling. He’s sending them because authoritarians need enemies on TV. The “emergency” isn’t safety...it’s control. And this may be the dress rehearsal for something darker. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

If these ideas were any good, PM Carney would already be doing them. He's way ahead of Pierre who has spent the last couple of years on the campaign trail instead of working in Parliament.

Figures from classified IDF database listed 8,900 named fighters as dead or probably dead in May, as overall death toll reached 53,000 "Fighters named in the Israeli military intelligence database accounted for just 17% of the total, which indicates that 83% of the dead were civilians."

I think a lot about the deadly overlap of climate disasters, and fascist accelerationists. Anything that advances social collapse benefits authoritarians. There may be dark money funding arsonists (or encouraging them via conspiracy disinfo) just like with the antivaxxers and convoy types.

Not blaming to union for that. I would like to know which union previously agreed to the contract they have now, which made these working conditions possible. And human rights? Right, tell that to people who can't have a union and the only raise they get is when min wage goes up.

Now we are wondering how he will get home. I will continue to be very vocal to Air Canada that no one should work for free and to support the attendants in any way I am able but don't make it sound like you are the only company ordered to return to work and have binding arbitration.
Sandy (@sanfran.bsky.social) reply parent
And ordered arbitration which is legal, well within the right of the government to order and necessary where people are stranded all over the world. I support the flight attendants but this has left many people including a young family member who was booked to return from Ontario tomorrow. 1/2
