Bank of Canada Strike?

I’ve passed the Bank of Canada security officers on strike pretty much every day on my commute for almost two months now, so I finally got curious and looked up what they’re actually asking for.

From what I can tell, the Bank of Canada is trying to reduce their parental leave benefits and wants to be able to give them only 24 hours notice for mandatory shift changes??

Reducing parental leave seems kind of absurd to me, and I think (?) they’re on week 7 of the strike now. I also read that the Bank of Canada has been found to have violated the anti-scab law twice??

I promise I don’t work there and have zero connection to any of this lol I just keep walking past them every day and now I’m invested.

But their demands seem…extremely reasonable? Like almost bare minimum reasonable?

Am I missing something here? Is there another side to this that I’m not understanding?

Filo cafe on Kent

Happened upon a new coffee shop on Kent St called Filo where the Angry Dragons used to be and decided to stop by and I was genuinely impressed! The coffee was so good, it seems to be a Greek style coffee shop and I’ve heard good reviews about their parties since but didn’t try any so can’t confirm. I think (?) they’ve only been open for a few weeks but so far so good!

Figured I’d spread the word for other folks trying to find a good cup of coffee around! ☕️
