Also many of the workers were unhappy with the way the strike unfolded and there was some disagreement amongst the members - solidarity within the union was either lacking or waning.

Most folks don’t realize the pain they’re in for when all their communication is funnelled through a corporate profit machine - and one where they’re likely the thing being sold.

Canada Post is a common good. It doesn’t need to turn a profit or even break even and I’m happy to pay my taxes to have it around even if I’m not the one benefiting from it. One day I might need it.

Like healthcare.

Speed cameras are a regressive tax until the fees are proportionate to net worth (income is too easy to cheat with here in Canada).

Same with parking tickets.

I do wish Canada’s public restrooms were locally owned and operated.

It’s sooo good - the local references were almost always on point and made the show even better. From the “Springfield” (anywhere USA) to the very specific cultural milieu of Québec, watching the Simpsons in Québec is a joy.

Lisa: J’y vais à UQAM. (It’s Harvard in the original version). lol.

I’d go further and argue in many cases medical technology can push patients well past a true natural end and, instead, extend that misery and suffering (sometimes seemingly indefinitely).

Christianity was not and is not prepared for corporate capture of extending life at all costs.

We (collectively) gave them a chance. They’ve proven unable to keep promises or work for the best interest of all Canadians in good faith. The time to start prepping to beat them is now.

My MNA did not respond to my letter on C-2almost two months ago.

I’m going to work to make sure he’s not re-elected.
