Or an earthquake collapsed the bunker on top of him the day after he went in.

And, while they have the resources to do something to prevent it, they chose instead to make the situation worse.

Real life crisis scenarios prove that peppers are only the haves for about an extra week before they join the have-nots

After having pissed off the have-nots by being insufferable selfish assholes…

Because there is an impending global catastrophe they have determined is unavoidable and unpreventable caused through their greed and selfishness

Should he ever use it, he’ll find out that locking himself in with his staff was a massive error in judgment. They will tear him apart.

I’m sure these billionaires have found a solution that makes perfect sense to them.

In their case, it is very likely that the orange menace would have fired them for disloyalty if they continued trying to do a competent job.

Better to leave on your own terms in that case.

But flat is different than Guilbeault’s situation.

Trump would be pressured to agree.

I don’t share your optimism.

Unless he thinks it is a good deal for him personally, and that it was his idea all along, he is unlikely to agree.

And even if he agrees, history tells us that he won’t necessarily stick to that agreement.

Sure he can. Just like a bull in a China shop can ruin things he doesn’t understand.

it’s a Canadian content mandate

Not quite.

It is a mandate to produce (or fund the production of) a percentage of their content that is served to the Canadian market in Canada.

Which, as you said, is also something that all Canadian broadcasters have been required to do for half a century or longer.

Those Traitors don’t speak for us.

Unfortunately they speak louder than you.

But the war affects Europe and the world

Yes , but if they could get an agreement from Iran, there is no expectation that Trump or Netanyahu would agree to it.

Or if they said they agreed, no expectation that they wouldn’t break it within a week’s time. Again.

Exempted for now…

and creative work created by millions of people who were never directly compensated.

That’s much too kind. We were never indirectly compensated, either.

We were never even asked for permission to use our works and words.

I think it is still just barely a majority, but with a narrower margin.

For the second, failure to appear is contempt of court. In practice, failure to appear for jury selection usually just results in your name going in the next pool,

When I was at selection, the judge issued warrants for the people who were summoned and failed to appear (or failed to arrange to be excused).

I have been summoned for jury selection 3 times.

2 times the defendant pled guilty before the jury selection day, so i didnt have to show up (the clerk contacted me to inform me that my presence was no longer required).

The 3rd time I was actually selected for the jury. It was a sexual assault case, and it lasted 4 days. 3 days of the actual trial, and the 4th day was charge to the jury, our deliberation, and the ruling.

Maybe her brother can help her get a cushy TV gig.

no locals can afford to work for minimum wage

Minimum wage and part time hours.

With shifts that change week-to-week so you can’t even schedule a second part time job.

but minimum wage needs to be raised to be a livable wage

And companies should be required to hire the majority of positions as full time, rather than having a bunch of part timers so they can avoid paying basic employee benefits.

Nobody can afford to live on part time wages, especially if the employer forces them into random swing shifts so the workers can’t even have a second part time job to try and get a livable income.

The original purpose of the TFW program was for roles with specialized expertise where the company couldn’t find qualified people who are already citizens or PRs.

And I’m absolutely fine with that.

Then over the years it expanded to include basically any job that nobody else wanted to work, due to (mostly) the company not being willing to offer fair wages, full time shifts or decent working conditions.

And that’s where most of the problems happened.
