Stop looking at the people who dug the hole you're standing in to lift you out. The person in the hole next to you did not dig yours as well. We are in this together good people. Let's stop giving the handful of hole diggers all our power.

I'm not seeing a single mention of the six Canadians on the Sumud Flotilla in any major news outlets.
As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board:
“The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”

Yes, we fucking can.
We can afford Canada Post, we can afford universal healthcare and prescriptions, we can afford free tuition.
You're told we can't "afford it" because industry wants all the money you pay in tax going to them instead, and our politicians keep handing it over.

Arguments like the one BC Ministry is making here only make sense if you live in a candy unicorn universe where employers are not motivated by efficiency and max profit and only ever act in the best interests of workers.
I am not understanding this argument from Ministry.
It's true that protective clothing, physical demand of work etc. can impact. This is actually why it's even more important to establish a maximum temperature appropriate to the kind of work, apparel, equipment.
