🇨🇦 Canada's first gig worker union arrives right on schedule
The regulatory state just unionized Uber drivers and DoorDash couriers, because nothing screams economic innovation like forcing independent contractors into collective bargaining structures they specifically chose to avoid. This isn't about worker protection — it's about capturing dues from a workforce that exists precisely because people wanted flexibility over union hall meetings. The move comes as Ottawa systematically dismantles every remnant of the actual free market while youth unemployment hits record highs and our flooded labour pool keeps wages suppressed.
Watch costs rise, flexibility vanish, and platforms either jack up prices or pull out of Canada entirely. Then they'll blame capitalism for the market failure they engineered. The gig economy was one of the few escape valves left in Trudeau's managed decline — now even that gets absorbed into the union-government patronage loop.
