That must be why Quebec MPs voted themselves a 30% increase…
MNAs, not MPs.
I don’t mind paying MPs/MLAs well. For one thing, they are nowhere near the top 0.01% in terms of income (they aren’t even in the top 1%) and the position’s salary should not be a deterrent to qualified candidates. Taken in the context of overall government spending, their salaries are minuscule. I’d gladly pay them all a million dollars a year if they actually did a good job.
In western Canada a certain sweet product company is on strike. The workers don’t even want a raise they just want to get rid of a new shift the company wants to impose on the workers that is reminiscent of suicide shifts.
so-called “suicide shifts” where workers are only off the clock for eight hours before having to come back in.
The workers just want to have regular work shifts and the company won’t even budge, they only see profit if workers are fucked.
Its nestle isn’t it. Fuckin nestle.
Fuck nestle.
It isn’t nestles, but yes indeed fuck nestles.
Of course they did, greedflation has been going strong for at least a year now… I’m surprised if wasn’t even more tbh.
Time for some new tax brackets. Let’s start swinging at those pinatas!
Oh thank fuck! I was so worried that the top 0.01% was having the same trouble buying groceries as I am. Gotta think of those poor poor 0.01%ers.
And they’re all like shocked Pikachu face when so many workers have taken job action over the last year and a bit. Tax the rich! Create a windfall tax!
Doesn’t this just confirm that the system is working?
