Yeah I’m a bit north of Toronto, and today has been the only cold day we’ve had in a while. We also have only about an inch of snow right now, and it’s supposed to warm up. So I don’t think we’ll be getting a white Christmas this year

I don’t understand this. I’m 32, I’ve been working labour intensive construction jobs since I was 18, and before that I played football, rugby and hockey pretty much year round. I’ve been pretty tough on my body pretty much my whole life.

99% of days I wake up feeling completely fine. Some times I’ll have a sore back or neck or something, generally from lifting heavy shit or just overworking. Then a few days of recovery, I feel fine. All these memes I see of 30 year olds acting like they are 75 are just so stupid.

I’m a construction worker in Ontario, and I know it’s anecdotal, but almost every trade worker has told me the same thing - we’re busy as hell but we can’t find guys to hire. Pretty much for the past 3 or 4 years, that’s all I’ve heard. I was pretty much hired on the spot when I joined the carpenters union in 2019, and I worked with a 19 year old kid who walked into the union hall the day before, and they asked him if he could start the next day. With literally 0 experience. I think we are really hurting for trade workers.

Looking forward to seeing him in the Demolition Hammer shirt

For a lot of people it’s because Ukrainians are white and Palestinians aren’t. Also Israel and USA are allies so for most Americans it just instantly means Israel is good.

Look Rand, I’m clicking more links

Yeah dude it’s fine, you also mix used motor oil into the soil and it acts as a good pesticide.

If I can’t smoke and swear, I’m fucked

Also love when he tells Ricky he can smoke, the cops in the courtroom pull their smokes out too

I remember someone telling me they were going to hunt me down and kill me on StarCraft back in like 2001. Shit hasn’t changed

Can you win if all the people in power happen to not be alive anymore?

I’d just like to say: Fuck Doug Ford and fuck Justin Trudeau

I live in Canada and it feels like half the country has been on fire this summer. The Premier of my province doesn’t even think climate change is real and is currently stripping away environmental protections from our best land so his buddies can build subdivisions and destroy it

My biggest complaint, as someone who’s been working in the trades in Ontario since 2010, is that the amount of money that houses are worth has gone up like 400%, but the pay for the actual workers has barely gone up at all.

I remember when I first started working in a subdivision, there were billboards up saying you could get the cheapest base model houses for $200k. Those houses now are probably worth almost $800k, and the guys working in the houses probably make an extra couple bucks an hour compared to when those houses were selling for $200k.

So the developers are making huge money, the real estate agents are making huge money, the landlords and people who can afford these properties are making huge money too. But the people who actually build the houses make fuck all.

I fucking hate this world, all of us working class people need a general strike like right now.

Fuck the rich, fuck politicians, and fuck Doug Ford in particular
