less than 1.5 litres of wine or less than 3.5 litres of beer or less than 450 millilitres of spirits per week.

The WHO considers that light? Holy crap... so if you're drinking 2 bottles of wine yourself per week you're a "light drinker"

The article says "Financial markets data firm Refinitiv says Telus had 108,500 workers at the end of last year."

Why does social media have to fund journalism... they pay taxes here.

Personally I find this hilarious. The argument that Meta (Facebook) and Google are making "so much money" from Canadian News is in itself laughable. If anything they're helping keep Canadian News relevant by suggesting it to people. No-one forced CBC to go make an instagram account etc.

So I think the law is working great. They demanded if you're going to link to a website you have to pay them a share of the revenue you generate. So these companies have elected that it's not worth the cost and will not link to them. Seemingly the media is going full shocked pikachu over this.

Buckle up as we're in for a ride. Thankfully this will only impact those who bought in the last 5~ years. Pricing before then was much more reasonable and should be able to absorbed.

Isn't this one of the reasons they're paid insanely well?

According to indeed.

CA$93,823 /yr -- Firefighter

CA$110,848 /yr -- Senior Firefighter

CA$123,695 /yr -- Lead Firefighter

It's a manual labour job that pays basically six figures when you start. The reason for that is the risk... The same reason other jobs pay high like crab fisherman.

This is an insane idea.

I mean this is standard behavior every election... outgoing guy says "So and so will be a great leader. Democracy has spoken, etc." I know in this case they're not the outgoing person but standard politics 101.
