Some reality here. Corporate profits are way up. Wages are stagnant. Part of the reason is because, for whatever reason, unions relevance has been diminished. In all sectors. It's about keeping up with inflation. We say, they're paid too much already? We should be asking: why isn't everyone being paid enough?

@TimJimBuam Money and benefits they can write for themselves and corporations that would launder back into their own pockets. The carbon tax is literally implemented to cover both NDP and liberals corrupt spending. They'll continue to implement more taxes to further benefit themselves. Present day Canada is a divine comedy with corporations and migrants having more rights and benefits than the regular citizen or Veteran that chose to serve the country. The NDP and Liberal government use the Marxist/ traditional evil method of accusing the other party of what they're guilty of to maintain karmic balance. They're repeating history but will call you insane or take away your rights if you exercise your free will on them. Stephen Point being a judge abused his power in the 90's-00's to send my dad to prison despite having 1st cousins be his grandchildren. No wonder Harper appointed him into power to sell off Native land. Playing the game of politics in Canada is a tough one to play, as a citizen in Canada though my so called "freedom of expression" doesn't apply if the person that got offened was a Zionist or has pronouns since the WEF has their agenda locked into Canada, UK, Sweden, and Australia. Follow the money trails and see who benefits, don't ignore knowledge our the actions that caused your ancestors to flea to the Americas to begin with, don't let people call you insane or antisemitic just because you have the ability to read a damn book. Almost a decade of this corruption, yet we needed a Mario brother to remind corrupt officials. This is truly a time to be alive.

I applied for EI on October 21 and I didn't get my login info until like, after Rememberence Day. On the other hand, I recently shipped something through DHL and it got here from Ohio (30+ hour drive) in two business days. I shipped something to Calgary (12+/- hours) through Purolator and it was there the next day. If it's going to take 3 weeks for me to get a new deodorant from Amazon but the post office opens after I leave for work and closes before I clock out, so I have to drive 25 minutes there on a Saturday within the 3 hours they're open that day, I'll just keep driving for another 20 minutes and go to Walmart in town and get other stuff I need as well.
