Politicians can get away with lying to people for quite a while about a lot of different subjects, but they have never been able to get away with lying to them about how much things cost.

Don't worry, we are the fattened oxen of capitalism, who toil endlessly for them in exchange for bare necessities & fleeting pleasures. We are the worn and laden cogs in their machine that they won't see break yet. Half-expect billionaires to push for it use your blood as fuel as a warning...

I’m an introvert. I like being alone. I distance myself from time to time for my own personal reasons that have nothing to do with me acting funny or being upset about anything. I need space and peace of mind. People can be overwhelming at times…

Good news
Your reminder that Moderna’s newly updated COVID vaccine, targeting the LP.8.1 variant, has been approved by Health Canada and, for the first time, will be manufactured here in Canada. So I fully expect those of us who want it to be able to get it. When? I would think late October.

Good reminder
If you are suffering as a customer during a strike, that is because management is intentionally passing on the suffering to you, which means you have common cause with the workers. This is so whether the management is of an airline, a hospital, or a retail establishment.

They should have at least waited a few days to see if the two sides moved at all.
Right on! What’s the point of a strike if the government can legislate them back to work? Anyone blaming flight attendant for any of this isn’t paying attention. Any cancelled flights is absolutely the fault of Air Canada.
