Capitalists are gonna have a meltdown when we'll have to implement the 4 weeks minimum paid vacation, banked overtime with a yearly limit, bretter minimum wage, tougher regulations on food and environment protection. Etc.

I’ll probably get called entitled, but even 3 weeks isn’t enough, and I know that’s more than many people get.

You're not entitled, your advocating for yourself and others. Work should not be our whole lives.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

You’re being reasonable.

It's ridiculous. And 2 days of paid sick days per year? Like wtf

Fucking worth the extra taxes. The EU isn't perfect, but they're still sane enough to back.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Taxes actually save you money.

Ya, I bet those aren't the people in favour.

What do you mean what?

Fun fact, Canadians can legislate these things on our own, without having to also adopt a whole bunch of European dysfunction.

Not with the U.S. right next to us we can't. Every time we push to have better conditions, companies start throwing a tantrum and threatening to move to the U.S. Then that throws the politicians into panic and they never implement anything. I don't know if this tarif war or conflct with the U.S. is gonna change that.

This makes the current moment perfect, because the US is not becoming more attractive to companies, in fact it's discouraging new companies, only the absurdly big ones who are already established there have some chances of profiting from this chaos

Yeah. The time to vote NDP is now lol

Any company that moves to the states loses Canada and the EU as trading partners. I say let them leave, minimizing your customer base is very hot with the fascists right now

Actually, it's a prerequisite for getting into the European dysfunction.

Why does everyone think it's a binary choice somehow?
