How is shipping cars over on giant container ships that are some of the worst sources of pollution on the planet while building them in places with worse environmental standards good for the environment?

Eh there's still plenty of people doing work in factories. The downside is rotating shifts and such but the pay and benefits are comparatively decent

They're also investing heavily in domestic battery plants and retooling auto plants for EV production. There are a lot of jobs in Canada that are well paid and unionized in the industry. Of course they wouldn't be able to compete with China on cost

Trades guys are your standard peaked in high school jock types for the most part. They get very angry when they can't call people fags or have to acknowledge transgender folks etc. At least that's been my experience. This is changing and the new guys coming up have a different mentality but the old school ways are alive and well on the jobsite for anyone Gen x or older. The younger guys get radicalized by toxic manosphere types cause they struggle to get laid and shit like Rogan podcasts.

Agree with the sentiment but these online petitions are worthless in my opinion
