Canada's public sector union is protesting. FYI don't let their gears logo fool you, these aren't machinists but office workers whose demand include not having to come back into the office and a double-digit raise.

Remember when the truckers did this? Me neither:
Outside the Prime Minister's Office building and the Treasury Board headquarters a few blocks away, strikers limited entry to just one person every five minutes.
We shut down the Port of Montreal and downtown boulevards, the Port of Vancouver and the Port of Saint John’s; we blockaded the Treasury Board office in Ottawa and other strategic locations from coast to coast.

PSAC strikers “honking and yelling” is terrifying local special needs kids. Trudeau invoked martial law against the truckers for less.

This 'strike' stinks. It's tax season right now in canada
For me it's "just accepted a shitty union contract with my private company employer". We got a 3% raise followed by 2.5% then 2% for the remaining 3 yrs while they're demanding 13.5% and they expect me to feel sympathy for them??
