  • The 3rd season of The Wire try to explain that

    For the case of Danemark I don’t know I’m not Dane and don’t know their political landscape.

    I’ll can talk about Vancouver a little, in the first decade of the 2000 the gov (mayor office ?) gave its ok to stop prosecuting and arresting people who take drug (not selling it). They stop financing « criminalizing tactics » and for a while it work however as the years pass (and as I understand it) they slowly reverse track. Now they’re saying there is an epidemic and people are smoking crack on the streets unbother by the police (who seems to use this new problem to ask for more money from the city).

    Don’t get me wrong I think that decriminalizing is the only way and prosecuting a « 1 consenting-ish victim crime » take a lot of time for nothing. What you need is service and specialized help.














  • Didn’t see it in the article so …

    AirCanada and it’s employee are in negotiations since December, at the last negotiation (the one that force the vote for a strike) AirCanada step out of the negotiation without a word and ghost the Union’s negotiators. After that they choose an arbitration (which will probably be immensely beneficial for them), the union refuse rightly so.

    Now seeing the strike approaching the Union tried to build a plan with AirCanada for the closing of operations in an orderly fashion, AirCanada ghost them and change employee scheduling so as much as possible employee will be stranded outside of Canada, employees had to call ill en masse so they didn’t fly a one way to Beijing without hotel or way home. The Union tried to find a way out of this, AirCanada lied to it’s employees saying that if they come out on their flight they will be paid, press by a strike watchdog they had to explain that the employees working on their way home will not be paid and will not be protected by their collective bargain.

    AirCanada are asshole and they make that situation, they build it so people will lose their travel plan when they refuse to negotiate. Now they want the government to clean up their mess with a special law that will force flight attendants to go back to work.

    Fuck them
