This is an issue, and I hope that this will be solved. WFH is a great way for some workers to stay employed *FULL TIME* (and sometimes is a sine qua non condition for them to work).

First time I heard common sense on how Albertan separatism is treated by federal journalists - most people are indeed more concerned with the US relationship rather than separatism. Thanks @chebert18.bsky.social

Maintenant que je viens de le finir, j’ajoute les bébés de la consigne automatique de R Murakami. Je comprends absolument pas la hype autour de ce livre. La couverture du j’ai lu est remplie de citations abominables (un livre « fluo » genre « iggy pop »), l’histoire et l’écriture sont atroces.
