It’s pretty frustrating the amount of people on Facebook cheering the possibility of having them join the Green Party. They didn’t resign because of anything environmental related they resigned because they were shuffled for resisting corruption.

I mean at least it would out the Greens for what this thread had shown me what they really are.

They resigned because of politics. If they want to stay in politics they’ll do what they think gives them the best chance to do so.

Not a lot of moral high ground on the hill.

Having paranoid apocalyptic fantasies is one of the things they probably ask about during the background checks, so I wouldn’t get too excited just yet.

Yeah, that'll really help save the fuckin' forests, or keep my family from ending up homeless.

Another hard hitting loss for left wing labour in the on-going conservative revolution

quote:

A company is justified in firing a unionized employee for masturbating in a bathroom stall at work, a labour arbitrator in Nova Scotia has ruled.

The arbitrator concluded that the employer, an aerospace firm operating hangars at the Halifax airport, had just cause to terminate the employee because his colleagues could hear what he was doing, and it caused “embarrassment and distress” in the workplace. The employee had also been warned about his behaviour two years earlier.

The employee and Unifor, his union, tried various unsuccessful arguments in their grievance, including that he had a disability of sex addiction. They also argued he had not been properly warned because managers were too embarrassed to directly tell him what the complaints were about and instead spoke in euphemisms about “unusual noises.”

It appears to be the first Canadian labour case on the subject. “Neither (the company) nor the union’s representative had been able to find any case dealing with masturbation in the workplace,” the ruling says.

Arbitrator Gus Richardson was asked to decide whether the act of loudly masturbating in a stall justified discipline and termination, and whether a bathroom stall is a sufficiently private place.

“On this point I accept that there is nothing illegal about masturbation,” he wrote. He said the problem is the employee violated the privacy and sense of personal decorum of his co-workers, and ignored warnings to stop. “He instead conducted an activity that he knew (and certainly ought to have known) would and did cause embarrassment and distress to his co-workers once they became aware that he was doing it in close proximity to them.”

On the one hand, cranking it on the clock is sticking it to the capitalist pigs profiting off your labour.

On the other hand (the one that's not currently busy), cranking it on the clock, loudly, is disrespectful to your fellow workers.

Hey guys, I'm partially guilty for stirring up this discussion but this thread needs to dial things back a notch. If your plans for the future involve guns you absolutely shouldn't be talking about it here.

Climate change pessimism is a reasonable stance and one I mostly share but given the mental health crisis that this thread had very recently I think we need to take it a bit easier. Please no more talking about your inevitable personal doom, the people you want to take out before you go, or other plans that directly imply your plans to commit violence. This is the threads first and last warning.

Not really, they'll just call one of the references for a few minutes, instead of none of the references. Not what I would really consider stringent, or adequate.

C-71 gets its final reading (pretty sure?) on monday when senate next sits, should get voted through (as tabled without amendments) pretty easily given how many seats in the senate are taken by the ISG, and how politically popular woke authoritarianism is right now. It will probably get Lizzy's stamp of approval pretty quick afterwards.

C-71 has a bunch of dumb bullshit in it, but notably it will make it a requirement for all non-restricted firearm transfers to be approved by the CFO. So like a restricted, you'll have to call in, give the CFP all the license information, get a reference number, give the reference number to the buyer, have them call in to complete the transfer, then ship it off with signature like normal or hand it to them in person. Only difference from a restricted transfer is the actual firearm information is kept by the seller with the reference number rather than the CFO, so it's TOTALLY NOT A LONG GUN REGISTRY GUYS. It will just require all the same overhead of one, and it will apply to all non-restricted firearms, including grandpa's old .22, and 12 gauges people keep for grizzly bear protection up north. It also includes more extensive background checks, but if they're already skipping them in the first place, I super doubt they'll suddenly start doing them now. Oh and people are gonna have to call and get a short term authorization to transport to take a restricted gun to a gunsmith now.

Not sure how the enforcement and implementation will work out, but RCMP updated their website as soon as the bill was tabled by Goodale (for the CZ and SAN rifle rageboner they had), so I imagine the CFP is going to have a lot more work to do pretty soon, with no real funding increase to account for it.
