Green New Deal is deader than a doorknob.
There, I mentioned it.
So is gun control...
So is the pandemic...
Fake news trying to push the pandemic thing up again now...
We’ll see...
I received an email today from the head of Loblaws or associated corporations.
Here's an excerpt:
Hi Everyone,
Last week I had the chance to see my parents for the first time since the lockdown began. We met briefly in their backyard. My father’s health is not good and my mother is still recovering from hip surgery she had before the lockdown – so they are both high-risk. I did my best to maintain social distancing, but it was tough. At one point my father struggled to take off his jacket. I sat in my chair, keeping two meters back, while my mother tried to help him. Finally, I decided to slip my mask on and go over to help. As soon as his jacket was off, I returned to the appropriate distance. The whole thing was so frustrating and awkward.
This is either a propaganda piece... or critical thinking skills really are dead.
Another excerpt:
Finally, as the economy slowly reopens and Canadians begin to return to work, we believe it is the right time to end the temporary pay premium we introduced at the beginning of the pandemic. Things have now stabilized in our supermarkets and drug stores. After extending the premium multiple times, we are confident our colleagues are operating safely and effectively in a new normal. We are proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s best places to work. I continue to be a strong believer in a progressive minimum wage and would support any government-led effort to establish a living wage. My heartfelt thanks to every one of our colleagues for their incredible efforts during the peak of the crisis.
