Oof! Hello, fellow Ontarian here. I had no idea this was the case for Ontario farm workers! Is it common for people to be paid less than minimum wage and not get breaks? Is it just for specific times of year (ie harvesting) or for the entire growing season?
This may sound weird, but: thanks for the work you do in agriculture and feeding us! ๐ I'm in / from Toronto, and try to buy local when I can.
Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.
Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!
Well that's going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck
100 gross of self sealing stem bolts!
Soju is waaaay too easy to drink
We require more vespene gas
I know some things
The wrong things.
I initially thought "War Pigs" when I first saw the image, but I don't think that's it
It's about time! ๐
Rock Around The Clock?
Ah, TFWs. If you go by the news, neither big farms nor Tim Horton's can survive without them. I'm glad you're treated well. It pains me to think about how much exploitation is in the industry.
It's a dream of mine (and a handful of friends) to start a commune / cooperative farming thing (closer to the hobby side of things) east of Toronto once we pool enough money, so insights into the industry are fascinating to me. And yeah, we know it's going to be more work and recurring failures than we can possibly imagine (especially to start) but we're determined and going to be diligent in research and preparation before we jump into it.
