I didn't downvote.

lol. Ty. Lemmy has a problem with the disagree button. 😂

As for labor standards...

You raise good points. I feel like Canada has decent regulations, and when they're enforced, it's probably better than most of the places we've exported jobs to. I don't have anything backing that up.

However, our governments definitely don't take the side of workers in strikes. I'm not sure how that stacks up overall. If workers (generally) can't be forced into overtime, how does that stack up to the feds enacting back to work legislation for trail workers?

Googling around, it seems like 996 may still be a thing, and court rulings are inconsistent and enforcement is lax.
