I am old, I am new to Lemmy. Not sure if this allowed but IMO it is really important.
This is from the Reddit post by user SaveDnet-FRed0. If this is not allowed downvote and I will remove. I also agree with what he has to say. He also says it better than I could anyhoo.
Titled “We can never judge Americans again if Bill 5 goes unopposed by the people of Ontario.”
“Bill 5 is going to screw us if it doesn't get some serious overhaul. We're talking a roll back of fundamental labor protections.
To name just a few sources that highlight this:

Are there also major problems with how it treats the environment and indigenous rights? Yep. But guess what won't piss off the people enough to move their collective asses: The environment and indigenous rights.
That's why they're highlighting these issues. They're hoping the noise of it will drown out things that would unite the majority of Canadians. I'm not saying they're not important. I'm saying Ford knows exactly how to play the people. Environment and Indigenous relations instantly turns this to liberal v conservative. No. Fuck that. It's a damn trap. You want to fight this bill? Highlight the thing that will piss every worker in Ontario off.
We need to move against this. We need to organize a protest that is more than just waving some signs. We need to pick a work day when these ass hats are in office and stare them down so it's actually mildly disruptive. I know that's not easy. I know that's a risk. That's the point.
If we can't do this, we need to shut the fuck up and sit down when other people mock Americans for not fixing their government. If we can't mobilize against this in a meaningful way, we are just as apathetic and ineffective.”
You are correct. I will add those for sure the next time I post about this stuff. My whole family is disabled so I guess even though part of it, kinda forgot.
