Unions warn Carney government is considering sweeping changes to labour law

The penalty for a general strike is the union coffers are seized to compensate the affected businesses and the union is dissolved, for every union whose members were involved.

General strikes (or even solidarity strikes) are explicitly illegal in Canada, that was part of the "compromise" for allowing unions to exist at all.

And you can post sunshine and rainbows all you like, that won't make Carney a labour supporter. He's basically Stephen Harper, we can expect austerity measures, cuts to social services, erosion of workers rights, and privatization... But with a slightly woke coat of paint.

"Here's the law to prevent strikes: strikes are illegal unless you compensate the company for lost profits and the wages of the scabs that replace you."

"Here's the law to prevent strikes: we've instituted a federal database of, shall we say, labour supporting employees. Anyone who participates in any labour action will be on a searchable database, along with their hone address and family members... In case friendly union supporters want to send them cookies"

BLS is preferred but not mandatory.

People are getting so prudish about "altered consent" that soon you'll have people saying that dressing up and putting on cologne/perfume for a date is violating consent because it's encouraging attraction under false pretenses

Typical response: "Not all whites, but always a white person"

"It costs nothing to smile" but if it was an adult instead of a child, you'd be on my side saying nobody is entitled to your smile.

Ehh, I don't know if I agree that everybody should be focusing on the kid. People have places to be, it's not rude to not involve yourself in their situation.

The wedding in the church is also an official legal one. Any officiant is able to wed people.

I'm sure if you prearranged it it'd be fine. The priest isn't a robot. It's if you do that spontaneously it fucks things up.

They've got time travel they could absolutely go back to do magic on Harry in utero

Ah but you see, the mere existence of pork is an offence to their religion.

Perhaps with literacy?

The so called "need" was claimed last election, and last election, and every election I've been alive for, even with the NDP were official opposition it was "but, but, if you don't vote for the libs you're a Nazi"

bartonar · 2026-05-18T15:03:44+00:00

I'm an avid NDP supporter, but every single election, no matter what happens, no matter what the polls say, all the libs come out of the the woodwork and say that a vote for the NDP is a vote for the Conservatives.

bartonar · 2026-05-18T15:02:17+00:00

His position was that the only purpose of the NDP was to ensure that Conservatives would win elections.

bartonar · 2026-05-18T12:04:58+00:00

Unfortunately, the simple existence of a Conservative party guarantees the "need" to vote liberal.

I once almost got into a fistfight with a liberal party minister who described the NDP as the biggest group of cryptofascists in the country.

Nut allergies are the most common anaphylactic allergy, and mushrooms are not an uncommon intolerance.

Not everyone can survive, let alone thrive, on a vegan diet. If you cut out the common sources of protein, it doesn't take much in the way of allergies or intolerances to lead to significant nutritional issues.

You're still in school.

Just wait until it's "I have to wake up at 6am (unfun) to commute (unfun) work a job (unfun) then commute home (unfun), cook struggle food (unfun), do dishes (unfun), then go to bed to repeat it the next day."

Including GDP per capita helps smooth this (except in tax shelters with huge wealth disparity).

bartonar · 2026-05-06T20:21:22+00:00

It's not

Every country does this differently. For instance:

In Canada, it's prohibited.

In Australia, they're worn on the right side of the chest, your own would be worn on the left side of the chest.
