Your lies about public unions, @GCarabine, which serve you and your conflict of interest. You lie or misrepresent the fact that public sector unions in Canada negotiate directly with government employers funded by taxpayers, creating a dynamic where monopoly bargaining power — enforced by provincial/federal labor laws — drives up costs without market competition to check excesses, as there's no profit motive. Private sector unions face profit-oriented employers, where unsustainable demands risk business failure or relocation, balancing power more naturally. This taxpayer insulation in public cases often leads to higher fiscal burdens and political influence, as unions donate to parties that oversee negotiations, unlike private counterparts. Another lie of @gcarabine: "If a person doesn't want to pay union dues, they can work at a non-union shop." Evidence @gcarabine is lying: In some unionized workplaces, collective agreements require that ALL employees must be union members (or at least pay union dues). These clauses are LEGAL in Canada, though in some provinces they must be negotiated and are not automatic. Rand Formula: Established by the Supreme Court of Canada, it requires all employees in a bargaining unit to pay union dues, even if they choose not to become members. This applies across most of Canada (except some construction industry carve-outs). Right-to-work laws (common in some U.S. states) DO NOT EXIST in Canada — meaning employers cannot generally prohibit union membership, and employees in a unionized workplace cannot “opt out” of paying dues. UNIONIZED INDUSTRIES (many sectors): Employees generally cannot work in a unionized position without paying dues (via Rand Formula). Common examples: Public sector: TEACHERS, nurses, postal workers, transit staff, government employees. Industrial & skilled trades: Auto manufacturing (e.g., GM, Ford, Stellantis with Unifor), construction trades, steelworkers, energy. Service industries: Some grocery stores (e.g., Loblaws unionized locations with UFCW), airports, hotels. Construction sector: In Ontario and Quebec especially, many construction jobs are strictly unionized. Employers often sign “collective agreements” with building trades councils, and hiring hall rules mean you cannot work on certain projects unless dispatched by the union. Crown corporations & large institutions: Canada Post (CUPW), LCBO (OPSEU), Hydro One, universities, and hospitals often require union membership/dues as a condition of employment. Conclusion: A so-called "teacher" @GCarabine either lacks understanding of democracy, or intentionally lies for his conflict-of-interest as a teacher in a public union and taxpayer-funded job benefitting from the corruption mentioned above, which @GCarabine inherently benefits from.

Dear @exodus_io, I vote @RichAyotte to build support for @Ravencoin Assets. Can we get it deployed this month? Reference: ravencoin.org/assets/ #Ravencoin #RWAs #tokenization #TokenFi #tokenisation #Tokenomics #BlockchainTech

Thanks to @MeridianCU for only offering phone calls & texts for #TwoFactorAuthentication, so that I can be vulnerable to phone number and SIM card hijacking. Why no support for authenticator apps, @KeePassXC TOTP? Why is this financial institution's I.T. leadership so weak?

I just noticed that @notlhydro sold out @NRBNetwork (Niagara Regional Broadband Network) to @cogeco notlhydro.com/news/sale-of-n… Canadian internet, broadcast, and telecommunications cannot seem to stay away from consolidating to oligopolies, thanks to @CRTCeng policies & lobbyists.

#Thanks for those directions, @astroport_fi Easy enough with @StationWallet Shoutout @Neutron_org
