No Canadian companies involved in a shortened workweek trial intend to revert back to a five-day week, new research from 4 Day Week Global shows.

Sanity reigns north of the US. Too bad trickle down doesn’t work, in any form.

We are bringing 1 million low skilled immigrants from third world, the house and renting prices are beyond crazy. Rampant immigrant criminals. We are getting more taxes soon.

This place is a shithole

If you’re saying a million per year, that means you’re counting international students. By definition, if they’re coming here and paying our very-expensive tuitions, they’re not going to be low-skilled for long.

The number of people who enter through immigration (incl. refugees) is more like 450k (for comparison, 2015 target under Harper was 270k), and about a third of those are refugees. Yes, there are criminals who exploit the refugee system. That’s what it costs to be a decent person.

Don’t feel jealous on this one. We have had multiple successful trials of a universal basic income, and the only thing it’s led to is more trials. I am certain the 4-day work week will suffer the same fate.

The opposition needs a case to cherry-pick and it doesn’t have one yet, I guess. But they’ll find one and, if they’re true to form, latch on like a tick until they’ve sucked any and all political cred out of it.
