If the federal government makes it harder for workers to negotiate a fair deal at work, it opens the door for Nova Scotia to do the same. We can’t let that happen. share.canadianlabour.ca/s/dFNsBpjK

Bargaining kicked off for the Applied Science and Patent Examination (SP) Group, and our members showed up to highlight the critical work public scientists do to protect Canadians — from safe medications and food security to life-saving weather warnings. Canada’s experts deserve a fair deal.

“privatization doesn’t mean prices will go up,” they told us last week. but of course they will, and they’re starting to have to admit it. the reason why investors are so desperate to get our airports is precisely because they know they’ll be able to make monopoly profits.

With ALT text. It also should be noted that all of those things are still available. Stop using genAI & search on your own. The reality is that living under capitalism means they will monetize anything they can get their hands on & convince you that you need to buy it from them. You don't.

Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.

The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts, & answers for free.

AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.

And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.

We built the library.

Someone else started charging admission.
