Jesus Christ I didn’t see his other tweet

New deal: when you get your pension deal it’s locked in and guaranteed. But now you are a dependent and that means no voting, just like dependents under age. Enjoy the deal, let people with a stake in the future decide.

You get a pension because you pay ~~taxes~~ into it all your life. I literally fucking pay into it, it already is “locked in and guaranteed”, it is not like the US social security.

Is he mixing this up with OAS? You know what, I don’t actually care because this is a huge misunderstanding of basic Canadian personal finance and civics.

How about this deal: you don’t get to complain about CPP unless you understand how it works.

Thanks for clarifying, that’s what I imagined, but I got confused

You do that after cooking or before cooking the rice though?

I toast spices like fennel seeds and nuts, never tried roasting rice

Toast? Does this work?

Would you settle for 6 thin crunchy spoonfuls of uncooked unseasoned rice?

Wouldn’t surprise me... Ontario weather is becoming increasingly like the us midwest with tornadoes.

I highly doubt this is because of hosting separatists, otherwise his business ran out of money insanely fast.

More likely is he’s been struggling for a while and now has a scapegoat (“I’m not a crappy business owner who ran it into the ground, it was the federalists!”).

I definitely agree things are over saturated right now.

I don’t know how, but I’ve met a lot people from Apple Google Meta and Netflix (less so Netflix actually), earning huge salaries to do nothing at all and have very few actual skills. I have no idea how things got like that, but it’s on hiring managers at these companies.

I agree employees should be paid proportional to the value they bring in. It’s one reason I don’t like strict salary bands and hate tenure based seniority. Briefly tech was the only field doing that.

Once everyone formalized their bands it got a lot harder to get raises, and the bands are completely disconnected from value. Plus, companies are making bands based on private survey data from companies only shared with other companies (smells like system price fixing/collusion in the labour market to me).

But once you’ve added salary bands and all that the workers might as well form a union. There’s no employee agency to lose anymore anyways.

I wouldn’t be opposed to more worker democracy, but I’m also a bit traumatized from shitty unions. So I don’t know what the answer is. I’m never going to work for a union that does tenure based seniority for example — I just can’t stand the “I got here first” mentality.

They’re pretty rare, I’ve only seen them one time, and my grandma in northern Ontario only ever saw them once in her 80+ years.

It was such an event in her town that everyone went out to the street to see. When I saw them I also went into the street to take it in, but I didn’t see anyone else enjoying it

Apparently they’re more common in the US plain states (not sure what they include)

My grandma saw these one time and cherished her photos and memory of it for years

I was lucky enough to see these a couple years ago, it was very very cool to see in person!

I would actually suggest you look at Shopify’s governance, Shopify employees/insiders primarily outvoted Wall Street to give Tobi “founder shares” that have outsized vote power.

I think as a whole, Shopify has paid much higher than other Canadian companies and employees have placed a lot of trust in Tobi specifically over the years.

Fun fact: early Shopify did have direct profit sharing, x% of profit was rewarded back to employees based on their votes on an internal board (called Unicorn), but eventually it was demonetized.

That is what the opposition is for.

Not simply blindly opposing.
