I suggest you look up how many billions the federal government has given to EV battery plants in Canada

Workers are the average Canadian. I wish we’d get that perspective more

Kinda proves the NDP are the only option for a pro-worker government. The Liberals won’t save us.

They could, but the railway companies would legally be allowed to fire and replace striking employees.

This isn’t a “too many new students problem”. This is a “consistent lack of funding from the provincial government” problem. Until people realize that and change their voting habits, nothing will change…

The government could just as easily make CNR and CPKR give into worker demands through forced arbitration. Either that, or they need to nationalize the railway companies… which we should have done long ago

A much better article on the topic and contains perspectives: https://livewirecalgary.com/2024/04/02/recovery-alberta-to-take-charge-of-mental-health-services-in-alberta/

What I can grasp is that the recovery model doesn’t focus on “wrap-around care”. You can lock someone in a room until their withdrawals pass, but if you don’t address the root issues (usually poverty or lack of mental illness support) of why they started to begin with, the cycle will just repeat.

I don’t disagree with your take on the article, but the “recovery model” is widely criticized by healthcare professionals.

The Google payments were never guaranteed for Mozilla. If they didn’t have a backup plan in place to reduce spending, that’s on them. Let Mozilla return to its garage opensource roots.
