Hospitals of Regina Foundation apologizes for Rob Schneider's jokes at fundraiser
  • "Some attendees, who have declined to speak on the record, told CBC the comedian's set included jokes made at the expense of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, especially individuals who are transgender.

    Other topics included in Schneider's set referenced the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination policies"

  • Trades guys are your standard peaked in high school jock types for the most part. They get very angry when they can't call people fags or have to acknowledge transgender folks etc. At least that's been my experience. This is changing and the new guys coming up have a different mentality but the old school ways are alive and well on the jobsite for anyone Gen x or older. The younger guys get radicalized by toxic manosphere types cause they struggle to get laid and shit like Rogan podcasts.

  • I think it's important to make a distinction between union members and blue collar union members. I'm sure teachers and public servants are more likely to lean further left but all the rhetoric I've heard on construction sites since I got into a trade has been super conservative.

    The union even endorsed Doug Ford in the latest provincial election.

    For the record I have polar opposite political views to the other workers and it's a very lonely world

  • Unions are trying to recover lost wages because their last agreements were signed before the latest round of high inflation. Going to be lots of strikes in the next few years because of course employers don't want to pay

    The cost of another rate hike will be paid by workers in the form of higher unemployment and lower real wages, Gustavo Indart writes.
