I don’t know if you’re referring to me but I stated that in the first line of my post.
That said I wouldn’t consider landscaping light duty and that was another awesome job I had at 14/15.

Just those that read headlines but don't read the actual article to provide context.

If a youth is responsible enough to potentially save lives as a lifeguard then they should be able to be on a construction site should they choose.
A better solution would be to educate in schools the right to refuse unsafe work rather than discouraging them from manual labor or trades related jobs.

When you're younger people are pretty bad at protecting themselves from the stuff that causes effects that aren't immediately noticeable ie hearing loss, carcinogen exposure, etc., especially when an older person who is supposed to be more knowledgeable (but usually not) is telling them to do it.

I see more kids day to day with EarPods in and smoking than snorting asbestos at a summer job. There are hazards everywhere in this world, chopping an apple, crossing the street, mountain biking at Whistler. Kids not much older used to fly planes in a war and now they are being encouraged to be golf caddy’s and peer counsellors. Discouraged from being plumbers, electricians, mechanics. Some high schools have even incorporated welding so kids can get their journeyman ticket early and have their own home before some kid even begins to pay student loans for basket weaving.
It should be a choice of the youth and companies fined accordingly for negligent violations.

If kids are being put into dangerous situations at work, we should probably also be looking at the situations the adults doing that job are being put in as well.

| Ontario Liberals propose four-day work-week pilot project if elected in 2022
TORONTO -- The Ontario Liberals say they will launch a pilot project to “analyze the potential for a four-day work-week” if elected in June 2022.
Leader Steven Del Duca announced the proposal Sunday afternoon during a keynote address at his party’s Annual General Meeting, citing research being done in other countries such as New Zealand, Japan and Spain.

Breaking news on Global BC.

Biopsy for him tomorrow morning to help his doctos determine if the growth is cancerous.

Shitty, he’s had cancer of the bladder before, I hope he will be okay. Even if you don’t always agree with his politics or ways he’s a very upstanding guy who got where he is the hard way.

Oh my ... all the best to him and hope it is not cancerous.
But this will certainly bring into discussion issues related to our health care system as this was headline today: COVID-19: Surgeries, tests postponed as 4,000 unvaccinated B.C. health-care workers put on leave https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...s-put-on-leave
Is it fair to delay surgeries and tests because of Covid numbers (majority of whom are not vaccinated)? Do important people get a cut to the front of the line?

In all seriousness, I hope Horgan is ok.
Although NDP have done some things I disagree with I think they have done the best job of a branch of Canadian government with what they have had to navigate, of my entire adult life of understanding and being aware of politics.
But it’s going to be quite the interesting situation if he ends up with delayed medical care due to the gaps in the system right now. If that happens there could be a very powerful voice in this province advocating for health care reform.

While I don’t care for the NDP generally I like Horgan as a person/leader. Hope he’s ok

Oh man, my father in law had esophogeal cancer. Was fucking rough, couldn't sleep lying down because the growth would flop over and cover his windpipe.
Although it is a bit more beatable than others, and my father in law did beat the actual cancer itself, his overall health and mobility never really totally recovered after that.

Does the same thing extend to premiers too? Personally, I would expect that. But I don't really know.

I don’t know if there is a country on the planet where that wouldn’t be the case when talking about the head of state, but I definitely am not sure about premiers or other politicians.

I don't know what to think of this ... part of me thinks, 'Just pay up!' Whether it is with good intention or not, it looks bad, and those affected feel like it's another power politics play.

What was his actual costume though? Like look at this costume
And read some of the comments there.. People are DYING to be able to cancel someone, but more often than not, level heads prevail when it's something that isn't actually malicious.

Guy probably hates Trudeau and is going to use it to make a point.
“I get fired for blackface and he doesn’t?!”
Either that or it literally had nothing to do with blackface and he’s going as something stupid like a tire.
