Convention resolutions are binding on the party, not MPs. In this case the resolution binds the party to take this position publicly - although MPs could theoretically vote any way they wish! https://pharmacare.vote has details

That’s a good idea. I think I’ll cut out torstar because they paywall so many articles

NDP is actually pretty decent, especially compared to the leading brands :)

At least in the browser, adding an exclamation mark redirects you to the community. Without the exclamation mark my phone thinks its an email address.

Would love if you could add !ndp@lemmy.ca, and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a “politics” category?

TBF, lots of other chains have a franchise model so it’s easy to mix up

The firm is called municipal solutions: https://www.municipalsolutions.ca/our-team

The guy in charge of municipal solutions is John Mutton, who has been implicated in this scandal by the Toronto Star’s investigative journalism: https://www.thestar.com/news/investigations/who-is-mr-x-after-scathing-ethics-probe-raises-questionable-conduct-of-unnamed-greenbelt-consultant/article_d34f22b7-2a19-5e0f-b0fb-cc786bdb4b2f.html

Most Starbucks locations aren’t franchises and are directly owned by corporate

That is true, but I think its harder to get away with that here

None of the unionized Starbucks locations in Canada shut down after their union drive, although I get your concern, corporate can be sneaky!

Completely agree!

Doesn’t seem like enough to me, although he’s had success with these small asks (he got the GST credit doubled a few times now)

I’m not sure, it’s not in the press release.

They actually managed to pull it off! They got roughly 20% over the life of the agreement, a $4.50 increase for their highest earning employees (full time and senior part time workers, who make $20 per hour currently) and 3.20 for their lowest earning employees (who make about minimum wage). And the best part about it is that nearly half of that increase is in the first year, front loaded. An actually decent deal! More details below.

More than a million people do that every election, we just need a million more :)

I take credit for a few of those votes - I knock on doors to talk to folks about healthcare and the NDP every campaign!

More solid labour journalism from The Breach, they and PressProgress are the few media outlets that have reporters assigned specifically to the labour beat.

Good work from the Ontario NDP on this one!

I was trying to respectfully disengage!

I still disagree with you but I don’t think either of us are going to convince each other. I appreciate you sharing your perspective, I wasn’t around back in the Usenet days and it’s cool to hear about it and how you were involved.
