Most gamers prefer single-player games [teenagers prefer Online PvP tho]

    I used to have the time to be good at PvP games. I used to have the reflexes too. Then I got older and PvP games left me behind, so I left them behind. Turning 40 this year

    A gain for unions might be a gain for non union if we're talking comparable industries, like union electricians or plumbers. Those are industries where people can leave their non union employer and go union, or work to unionize their employer.

    For general office work that's not the case. Government administration positions don't all have non union equivalents. Office workers don't generally unionize. You can't just quit your non union job and get a government job, those are hard to come by. So a gain for government service workers is irrelevant to the general public, or in the case of increased wages just means increased taxes. There's a sense of jealousy of those with government positions, as well as schadenfreude when they get screwed over.

    That's because everyone in the general public was forced into the office before the government workers. At least the majority of them. If the government unions were fighting a return to office for everyone else, then there would be solidarity going back to fight it for the government office workers. Instead everyone just feels that it's a good thing the gov't office workers are going back because hey, my employer made me go back, why should they have it any better?

    Don't worry the government will just ease requirements for recognizing foreign credentials and import a bunch of loosely qualified nurses to fill those roles. Typical Canadian solution.

    I work on a construction site. We have cameras everywhere. One night a bunch of guys came with a company truck and started loading up copper pipes and going through job boxes looking for tools. The police were called and they said they weren't going to come out because the guys might have weapons.

    "Some attendees, who have declined to speak on the record, told CBC the comedian's set included jokes made at the expense of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, especially individuals who are transgender.

    Other topics included in Schneider's set referenced the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination policies"

    Notable that he's speaking in Russian. Don't know what his background is but that alone makes me doubt the validity of anything he's saying as a "Ukrainian" spokesman.

    How is shipping cars over on giant container ships that are some of the worst sources of pollution on the planet while building them in places with worse environmental standards good for the environment?

    Eh there's still plenty of people doing work in factories. The downside is rotating shifts and such but the pay and benefits are comparatively decent

    They're also investing heavily in domestic battery plants and retooling auto plants for EV production. There are a lot of jobs in Canada that are well paid and unionized in the industry. Of course they wouldn't be able to compete with China on cost
