To put it bluntly, if this goes through I’ll probably just delete my account and move on from lemmy.
I wouldn’t want to onboard more friends to this instance for them to be brigaded by HB trolls. Getting people to wean off Reddit for Lemmy, only for them to be bombarded with HB chaos more akin to /b/, would be a terrible experience.
In short: no thanks.
Thank you for your service pedantry.
Well that’s weird… This is literally playing on my Spotify right now, part of a random playlist. The Matrix is glitching.
Ah, TFWs. If you go by the news, neither big farms nor Tim Horton’s can survive without them. I’m glad you’re treated well. It pains me to think about how much exploitation is in the industry.
It’s a dream of mine (and a handful of friends) to start a commune / cooperative farming thing (closer to the hobby side of things) east of Toronto once we pool enough money, so insights into the industry are fascinating to me. And yeah, we know it’s going to be more work and recurring failures than we can possibly imagine (especially to start) but we’re determined and going to be diligent in research and preparation before we jump into it.
Oof! Hello, fellow Ontarian here. I had no idea this was the case for Ontario farm workers! Is it common for people to be paid less than minimum wage and not get breaks? Is it just for specific times of year (ie harvesting) or for the entire growing season?
This may sound weird, but: thanks for the work you do in agriculture and feeding us! 😛 I’m in / from Toronto, and try to buy local when I can.
Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.
Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!
Well that’s going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck
Bonjour! Bienvenue à Ontario!
English is an absurd language, and something like 30% of English words are from old (Norman?) French. English is my first language and it just seems like pure chaos to me.
100 gross of self sealing stem bolts!
Soju is waaaay too easy to drink
We require more vespene gas
Rex Murphy, the socially-malignant gas-pump-fellating pseudo-intellectual who claimed to love Canada but was really just perpetually daydreaming about a socially conservative Randian right-wing dystopia, has finally and permanently shut the fuck up at 77.
Fixed that for you, NatPo.
Longo’s is owned by Sobeys now 🤷🏻♂️

That thread is fucking bizarro, and is itself unhinged.
The CEO seemed fairly reasonable to me (if someone were bashing my company on their blog I’d like a chance for rebuttal), though they did ignore the “please stop emailing me” request.
It almost feels like everyone involved from the blog post to the thread comments are in the middle of a manic episode. What in the heck is going on?
If anything I bet this results in a net subscriber gain for Kagi.
Good luck (I mean that sincerely). I’ve heard it’s not terribly easy to move here if you’re not a recognised refugee. There was a lot of “I’m moving to Canada if the trumpet plays” talk in 2016, but I don’t think it resulted in any significant increase in Americans moving here.
I will say, as a Canadian, I and a number of my friends are considering moving away from Canada if America goes full totalitarian (which is looking likely, if not this election then the next). It’s essentially America-lite here now, but with a higher cost of living and lower salaries. Most of us are thinking New Zealand or Ireland.
Are you asleep right now?
