Some 50 union members refused to leave the garage as of 6 a.m. after management threatened to dock a half day’s pay if they didn’t attend an “employee appreciation barbecue” next week. Sources in the union say the threat was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” amid budget cuts and worsening labour conditions.

To be fair, we basically just elected a Biden-style neoliberal who is slightly to the right of Trudeau. As affordability continues to gradually decline, our Trump (Poilievre) or a similar guy will be even more empowered. We're basically a few years behind the USA right now and your right are actively trying to speed it up.

The fact that they're creating a crown corporation to build homes on public and private land is huge. This includes prefab and modular homes too. They're even committing to using Canadian lumber.

We cannot contunue to rely on capitulating to and deregulating private developers and expecting them to act in any way other than own self-interest. They have no incentive to bring down the cost of homes. It is now crystal clear that the neo-liberal solution does not work.

A crown corporation that exists to create housing rather than maximize shareholder value is a massive step in the right direction. Frankly, I'm surprised Carney is doing this but happy about it all the same.

I expect Carney to get pushback from Doug Ford who is firmly in the pocket of private real estate investors.

This is a great point. Commence the meme-off!

Idk about you all but when I'm overworked, sometimes when I get free time, I finally have a chance to just exist and do nothing for once.

~(Also, all of the research on UBI show that when people don't have to work, they still choose to)~

NGL I've noticed a lot of trans homies in CS where I live and I'm here for it.

Data hoarders where you at?

This week? AdGuard Home to block ads network-wide. Optimizing it so I can compare it to my Pi-Hole to see which I prefer. We'll see what obsession next week holds.

Where my ADHD homies at?
