Canada@lemmy.ca•Tim Hortons commits to hiring 10,000 local employees, scaling back on temporary foreign workers
6·10 days agoIf anything the temporary foreign worker program is itself racist as it is basically slave labour. Paying low wages and then they are tied to the job if they want to stay.
Currently playing Windrose which is early access, ticks most of those boxes except for the alive world. There are communities you can go to for quests but most NPCs you can’t interact with.
It’s also a survival craft so you build your base.
It’s a fantasy pirate setting rather than old knights and wizards setting.
Character creation is somewhat limited but you can tailor it to be more ranged/agile or beefy/heavy hitter etc.
Still early access though so could be improved

Canada@lemmy.ca•Dunkin’ Donuts coming back to Canada with hundreds of locations
5·23 days agoI mean, if it creates a bit of competition with tim Hortons I wouldn’t complain. Maybe they might be forced to actually go back to freshly baked doughnuts and proper coffee

Canada@lemmy.ca•WestJet accused of tricky manoeuvre to deny dozens of passengers compensation after flight cancellations
3·25 days agoI thought Trudeau changed the law so even safety related maintenance delays need to be compensated, which were immune before 2022 or 2023 or something?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have you ever been summoned for Jury Duty in either the US & Canada?
2·25 days agoI’ve been summoned twice in the past 7 years and neither time did I actually even get to the point where they interview to decide if I would have been a juror.
First time I got summons was like a month after I moved to a different city for work and I let them know and they said okay you don’t need to come.
Second was like last year and I accepted the summons but then got a notification that I was no longer needed as the trial wouldn’t happen. I assume plea deal or something.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘There is no validated test’ for asymptomatic hantavirus infections, says public health. Live updates here.
2·26 days agoOf course I’m aware, that’s why I asked if there was a particular reason everyone was freaking out
Is it a particularly bad unique mutation then?

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘There is no validated test’ for asymptomatic hantavirus infections, says public health. Live updates here.
41·26 days agoHantavirus has been around forever.
Is there a particular reason these few cases have been focused on so hard in the news other than typical fear mongering?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Coastal B.C. First Nation leaders go to Calgary to dissuade pipeline investors
5·1 month agoI don’t think that will work unfortunately
If it will eventually be possible to travel to a new planet or mine other planets and asteroids for materials instead of destroying our own planet, than absolutely it’s worth it.
If that’s all a pipe dream than space exploration is really just a waste of money.

Canada@lemmy.ca•[Survey] Canadian experience with vehicle headlights and glare at night
4·2 months agoI wish they asked about road maintenance in this survey.
Headlights are an issue but also the fact that I can’t see the lines at night when the paint is barely visible during the day.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Most Canadians support social media ban for kids under 16: poll
83·2 months agoParents suck at parenting most of the time. That’s why there are rules specific to minors in a lot of things.
Although for the most part they are terrible useless rules, like movie and game ratings which pretty much everyone that I know of ignores

Canada@lemmy.ca•Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?
1·3 months agoWhy not? Wake up naturally with no alarm clock at like 6am ready to take on the day and feeling refreshed. Sunlight pouring through the windows as you drink your coffee and get showered.
I would rather have a ton of sunlight in the morning then late in the evening.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?
2·3 months agoSame here. Wish they put it to referendum, no idea why they went with daylight savings.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?
21·3 months agoMost people won’t even notice if they leave work at 5pm, will still be dark no matter what so why not have an extra hour of light in the morning instead? I much prefer standard.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?
3·3 months agoI absolutely want to get rid of changing clocks every year, which is nice because BC is doing just that
Unfortunately I think BC is going permanent Daylight savings, where I would prefer permanent Standard. It’s much nicer to wake up to daylight in the morning, and I don’t particularly care for doing outdoor activities at 10-11pm.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada joins criticism of US over Russia sanctions rollback
191·3 months agoIs the US the only one able to sanction countries?
Why does everyone else still not maintain sanctions and then sanction the US as well for trading with a sanctioned Russia?

I feel like any lawyer should only be able to bill half their rate if they lose the case
