You raise a good question: for those staff, in the department stores, in logistics, in HR, in technology, in management, in marketing, design, etc. — how likely are they to find new work? How many of those 9000 employees will face real hardship, and how many will find new work in the role they’re in now?
I don’t know the answers! Losing one’s job is always tough — financially, emotionally. I hope if their roles are cut they find good positions soon.
But for Hudson’s Bay, the business? Couldn’t care less
I love a bit of heritage but HB is a business. They’ve failed to stay relevant in the economy and they’re faltering. Okay, bye? Am I supposed to feel bad that a corporation might disappear?
He’s been in office for nearly a decade. Canadians are tired of him. Realistically, he hasn’t done anything worse than any other politician — you make promises, some you deliver on, some you don’t. Eventually, the “don’t”s pile up, and folks get tired
it’s great, I use it all the time. I run my own server and sync history between my work and personal laptops. If I need history for a specific project, I filter by the workspace (or whatever it’s called)
Pixelfed.ca is way better. If you type pixeld.ca on mobile, autocorrect will try to change it to pixels.ca. Constantly. It’s very annoying. pixelfed gets suggested to pixel fed or pixelated, both which are a bit more obvious
Alberta just kicked Coal years ahead of schedule. Yes, they’re also keeping the rest of the country using and producing oil, but clearly that province is working hard to reduce emissions.
When does the government step in, shut down the company, and sell the assets to another firm?
Clearly, this company is irresponsible and cannot follow the law. You don’t have to shut down the operation and have people lose their jobs, but don’t let the company keep operating
It wasn't even by Google though, right? This looks like it was by Extinction Rebellion. I can't imagine the legal team at Google ever approving something like this.
What’s the benefit of this? I don’t understand how that benefits parents or children. Who cares if the kid is a boy or a girl? What if their parents are abusive? School is part of where identity develops, to rob kids of that seems messed up
FWIW I’m not sure I’d be excited that my donations to Lemmy.ca would be spent on disaster relief. Some related projects make sense (other federated communities, online Canadian content ,etc) , but I stopped donating to Wikipedia after getting tired of their tangential charity shit.
To that end, some ideas
Chat Across Canada (CAC? Could do something with sea to sea, as well, although c2c is a band)
Canadian Federated Communities, although CFC is bad
Canada online
Some backronym for CANUCK
Federated Canuckistan (okay this one is particularly dumb)
I’m not sure if the name will make a huge deal if you can do “business” under another name. If the society name is “Lemmy.ca and associated project deployments for Canadians by Canadians” can you “do business” (receive donations to, brand websites as) Lemmy.ca? There’s nothing really unclear about “the Lemmy.ca matrix server” or “an instance of mastodon run by Lemmy.ca”.
I feel the same about seeing 10 different race posters posts. Just put them all together…?
