Meanwhile I have to listen to braindead coworkers lecture me on how everything is Trudeau's fault and once the Conservatives get in federally they'll fix the economy. Hadn't heard more discussions of economic policy than when I started working on a construction site. Apparently every random drywaller is an expert.

My kid spent a week in the ICU with it last year. In fact his entire daycare did. Pretty sure it resulted in long term asthma as he didn't have any of these issues prior to getting it. I'd be more interested in when they can have a safe vaccine for toddlers for my personal experience. Children's hospitals were literally overflowing last fall/winter.

Well that's a bit of a relief at least

I think people are also sick of Trudeau so we might end up with this jackwagon just because of that. Of course no 3rd option will ever be considered as usual.

To clarify I was saying that business owners are parasites by their nature and unions will always be necessary as long as businesses are set up the way they are with all the existing incentives

I've got a couple of kids eating up every minute of every day outside of work so right now I'm in a time warp that does not recognize seasons. Hoping to go back to normal in about 5 years haha

As the article says, we're only surging in population due to record immigration. The government has control over this... Maybe slow it down a little bit while we build the services to accommodate all these people? But nope, need to bring in more meat for the grinder to continue suppressing wages like they have been for decades. "good for the economy and labour shortage" means exactly this. Good for big business profit margins and eroding worker bargaining power when it comes to wages.

It's especially relevant now that workers have found new will to fight back since covid and inflation problems.

He's also 85, I know he has a construction background but I certainly hope he has contractors doing the majority of the work. But 2 years with no permits or plans submitted or contractors hired makes me think this guy wants to build it on his own at his own pace, and may be overestimating his own abilities given his age at this point.

Could very well be, unfortunately doctors don't take it seriously and naturopaths pretend to know more but really don't, and have less options available for treatment. I've tried herbal treatments to no success, so I'm kind of stuck living with what I've got. Unless I travel to the states for treatment or buy myself some rifaximin online on my own or something I'm kind of SOL. Not comfortable self prescribing antibiotics to be honest.
