  • Nope turns out it’s nepotism. A sizeable chunk of farmers didn’t learn how to be competitive so they grew big monopolies. This along with the don’t let family farms fail policies has created a system where there is no innovation so wages stagnant but the landowners survive and vote against Thier own interests.

    Actually a good video worth watching at double speed if you’re time crunched



  • Well that’s a quick way to get Canadians to drop your brand

    Edit it’s worth diving a bit in the article

    The facility, which bottles Crown Royal products, will close in February in a move aimed at improving its North American supply chain. Bottling at the Amherstburg facility intended for the U.S. market would be shifting stateside, while bottling for Canadian consumers would move to its Valleyfield, Quebec location.

    Still sucks for amhersburg employees but they haven’t picked up all stakes and moved south.

    Still I’ll try another brand next time to show my displeasure














  • Yea in the UK plumbers and gasfitters are called engineers… That said even with my B.Eng and MA.Sc from accredited Canadian schools I am not a professional engineer in any province/territory of canada. I have not paid dues or fees or completed the ethics exam.

    While it may be beneficial for me to obtain my license in the future, the work I was, and I am currently doing is not an act of engineering or if it briefly was it was licenced under another engineer.

    I was advised at one point to not obtain the engineer title due to some shady practices going on at the time with insurance for engineers. After that job, opportunities didn’t require the title so I haven’t bothered

    Personally I think administrating the licences at at provincial level seems silly for the work I do. As it usually is traveling fast over all the provinces and the laws on the books are mostly for bridges and are often ill equipped to guide me to beat practices for the work I do. Maybe in the future it’ll be federally managed maybe that will make it more consistent and they can consider things other than bridges
