Eh there's still plenty of people doing work in factories. The downside is rotating shifts and such but the pay and benefits are comparatively decent

They're also investing heavily in domestic battery plants and retooling auto plants for EV production. There are a lot of jobs in Canada that are well paid and unionized in the industry. Of course they wouldn't be able to compete with China on cost

Trades guys are your standard peaked in high school jock types for the most part. They get very angry when they can't call people fags or have to acknowledge transgender folks etc. At least that's been my experience. This is changing and the new guys coming up have a different mentality but the old school ways are alive and well on the jobsite for anyone Gen x or older. The younger guys get radicalized by toxic manosphere types cause they struggle to get laid and shit like Rogan podcasts.

It's been downright warm and dry for winter. Definitely going to be a hot and dry summer. Can't wait to be unable to breathe outside for months again!

Unions are trying to recover lost wages because their last agreements were signed before the latest round of high inflation. Going to be lots of strikes in the next few years because of course employers don't want to pay
