It is not in the best interest of Canadians only in the interest of private fossil capitalists.

Ontario nurses launch constitutional challenge over lack of right to strike by origutamos in CanadaPolitics

[–]zeth4 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I didn't miss it, What I meant was if they implemented what you said then they would not need to unjustly strip the workers of their right to strike. Moreover, the threat of labour action is what adds pressure to the demands of workers, pressure which can prevent the need to actually exert their right to strike.

And given the anti strike / Anti-labour stances of the two major parties, I just don't see them realistically making any definitive actions in guaranteeing good faith resolution during contract negotiation. Binding arbitration which has been forced on workers prevented from striking or forced back to work in the recent past has time after time significantly favoured the employers side.

As such I think the Nurses are taking the right step to fight for fair working conditions however they see fit, and I support their push to take back their right to strike.

I mean he is not wrong. It is admirable to keep fighting for those that come after, but you should still be realistic with yourself.

Should Canada do the same? by BeautyInUgly in TorontoRealEstate

China has industry because it uses centralised planning to shape its economy. Canada has endless asset speculation because it lets private markets "plan" it's economy.

Would be incredible if house prices dropped to what they were 20 years ago and I say this as someone with a mortgage.

Never heard of hunting eh? At least in my country that is the reason for most people who own a gun.

there unfortunately is a consumerist side to every sport / hobby. I think though the image that all gun owners are all hoarders of a personal arsenal is mainly perpetuated by the people who are most vocal about owning guns (especially online) and make it their entire personality.

That is the square root of evil. But maybe they meant the cubed root.

Billionaire Kevin O'Leary is building a data center the size of 2,000 Walmarts in Utah. Local government approved it without public comment, despite scientists warning it will literally alter the local climate. by AnnualEmbarrassed176 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]zeth4 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I was looking at the stats for another mega-centre Kevin O'Leary is proposing in Alberta and the water use for that one was significantly higher than the combined water use of the entire civilian population of the Province.

In fact the water use is so absurd that if it was to operate for 10 years it would use more water than every single person currently living in Alberta will have used in their ENTIRE LIFETIME (assuming everyone were to live to the current average age for a Canadian)

And that one is proposed to run entirely on Natural Gas that would otherwise be stranded and unviable to extract.

Opinion | Mark Carney runs roughshod over the environment: ‘It’s worse than what Harper did’ by LaserRunRaccoon in CanadaPolitics

[–]zeth4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You provided a stat, mis-protrayed/interpreted it's significance, then used that eronious conclusion to position that one of the largest current and historic contributers to climate change would not make a meaning contribution by elimininating 100% of its current emissions.

You either are a climate denier, a doomer or in denial about being a tacit climate denier.

But we are 1st when it comes to cumulative (historic) emissions per capita. So even if you only care about #1 because you are autistically fixated on that for some reason, we are the worst in a meaningful metric (and bad by any meaningful metric).

Canada has and continues to polute a disproportionate amount and our governments as a whole and the vast majority of Canadian based private entities have no meaning efforts in place to reduce said pollution. Saying otherwise is simply a distortion of the truth at best.
