I make memes that some people have called "shitty". I used to post on TikTok, too. And I'm on reddit, for now. (all under the same username)
At least in the browser, adding an exclamation mark redirects you to the community. Without the exclamation mark my phone thinks its an email address.
Would love if you could add [email protected], and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a "politics" category?
Completely agree!
Doesn't seem like enough to me, although he's had success with these small asks (he got the GST credit doubled a few times now)
I'm not sure, it's not in the press release.
They actually managed to pull it off! They got roughly 20% over the life of the agreement, a $4.50 increase for their highest earning employees (full time and senior part time workers, who make $20 per hour currently) and 3.20 for their lowest earning employees (who make about minimum wage).

Fred Hahn, president of CUPE Ontario, appears to endorse a no vote on the OSSTF (high school teachers) tentative agreement that would trade the right to strike for arbitration
It is extremely rare that a major labour leader like Fred would weigh in on a tentative agreement made by another union. It is even more rare that he appears to be advocating for rejection.

They're facing these challenges because the market hasn't been set up for them to compete with families in similar situations with similar incomes. Instead, Canadians wanting to find their way into a home are having to compete with deep-pocketed corporate investors. This is what's structurally wrong with the Canadian housing market.
