Tony, Supervisor at Nubby's Number Factory

The government needs to stop offering this backstop to managers entirely. Why even bother negotiating if you know that the government will step in and break the main source of power for a union (i.e.: withholding labor)? The bad precedent was using S. 107 in the first place.

Spare a thought for Canadian flight attendants at Air Canada, who were told their strike is "illegal" by a government board that includes the former counsel for...Air Canada.

If the strike is illegal, the government has the ability to jail and fine organizers. This is a very chilling decision and I'm glad the union is standing firm.

Frankly, good. Someone has to challenge S. 107 of the Canadian Labour Code lest the Minister of Jobs and Families become little more than a Paperwork Pinkerton.

Stay tuned for my first piece, "Has anyone asked ChatGPT what to do about the housing crisis, or are we leftists too stubborn to sell our values and ethics for empty computer babble?"

I am once again tapping the "do not humanize a model and do not accepts attempts from others to do so" sign.

Yeah, I'm hardly a coder but I gave up and swapped to Linux Mint. I'd rather error codes than bloat!

Don't worry, Microsoft is working on fixing that post-haste.

God, that sucks. My parents did the reverse. Trump radicalized them...to be more progressive and caring. They're still skeptical of social programs but they've taken to the idea that even "bad" social programs are better than tax cuts for billionaires.

Hopefully yours find their way back.

It's any semblance of a fight, which from Hack Jeffries is (very, very tepid) progress. At least he's annoying the ghouls before rolling over instead of just rolling over. A very "the crowd goes mild" positive.

Our chatbot of a Prime Minister is currently processing the optimal word choices to ignore this entirely.

I hope Hakeem Jeffries loses his primary. I know Brooklyn isn't a monolith by any means but he feels like an establishment Bastille.

That's Trump-level word salad.

Your political instincts suck almost as much as you do!

And yet somehow your leadership is even less popular. When you're getting lapped in the public eye by actively hostile legislation, you should probably take a hint and pass the torch.

It means that the employees are working twice as hard to do the actual work that the Salesforce slop machine inevitably screws up, would be my theory.

The big, overarching mistake to my eye seems to be the assumption by a lot of established figures that the job of a political representative is to get (re-)elected rather than, well, representing people who vote for them.

Just here to add to the ratio and to be another data point telling you that your naked propaganda isn't working.

I think my favorite part about Zohran winning is seeing establishment Democrats eat absolute shit. They lined up to support a sex pest that they condemned four years ago, clearly ignored their voters, and they got defeated in humiliating fashion for their trouble.

I gave it 100 days before Canadians realized that in their panic they elected a human chatbot with the most odious of neoliberal takes installed. I think I gave too much time.

At any rate, Mark is a one-and-done embarrassment keeping the chair warm for whatever reactionary wins the CPC.

Seems to me the one who didn't get it was you. Rarely has anyone sold out for less than what you just got. Enjoy the enmity of your constituents followed by the end of your political career!

Honestly, whatever happens, the Democratic establishment has lost so much of its dignity in this contest. It's clear even as an outsider that the Party has learned nothing since getting trounced.

MarkGPT and the scions of T-Board toy with people's livelihoods by rolling out non-functional slop machine to pretend to manage a broken system.

Great stuff. Love it. Elbows up, am I right?

I have a low opinion of Canada (where I was born), but one thing we have going for us is that few of us treat the worthless punk-ass colonials who built our hamstrung federal government with anything resembling reverence. The American civic religion is a major hindrance towards needed reform.

Yes! The framers were a bunch of yokel slaveholders who were working before the telegraph was invented. It's okay to move on. I promise that George et al are very dead and do not mind if you modernize the republic's foundational texts.

Time to write a new one, I reckon. If this constitution permits these atrocious outcomes, it is not worth the paper it's written on.

Hate it when toasthulu interrupts my bunch cruise...

Rank me before Cuomo. The last time I was in New York City was ~20 years ago for a band trip, which clearly makes me more qualified.

If this is him riding high he might as well tuck tail and run back to Britain, which is clearly where he wants to be. He's a one-term seat-warmer for whatever reactionary trash wins in the Conservative Party.

Andrew Cuomo personally dumped ass all over a hot-dog cart in Central Park. He also ate several children and voted against a ban on punting babies through uprights (which passed 145-2).

Andrew Cuomo is dangerous.
