Democracy 101 (A Refresher for Anyone Who Is Just Doing Their Best In This Capitalistic Hellscape) Let’s be real—most of us learned about democracy in grade 10, and it wasn’t exactly a generous, empowering, or engaging education. It was more like: Here’s how voting works. Here’s a flowchart of government branches. Good luck out there. But democracy isn’t just something you memorize—it’s something you participate in. And if we’re going to navigate this system (especially with a federal election coming up), we need real answers, not recycled high school social studies lectures. So here’s the deal: 📌 We’re doing a refresher, but without the boring bullshit. 📌 You send us the democracy questions you actually have—the ones you’re too afraid to ask or never got a clear answer on. 📌 We break it down, answer your questions, and give you access to our behind-the-scenes resources. Things We’ll Cover (Depending on What You Ask!): ✔️ How democracy actually works in Canada (not just the textbook version) ✔️ What this election means and how power really moves ✔️ Ways to engage beyond voting that actually make a difference ✔️ How to handle political conversations without losing your mind No jargon, no condescending takes—just real talk, practical answers, and a space to learn together. Featuring: 🔹 Samanta Krishnapillai from On Canada Project / Social Good Collective 🔹 JB (@cdnpoli101) from SmartVoting.ca 🔹 Akeyl Senior (@a.key.lah_) 🔹 Kristina Kyser (kristinakyser.com) This is a community space, not a lecture—come as you are, bring your questions, and let’s figure this out together.

Many employees are frustrated with the nature of employment. But some fed-up workers are asking a bigger question: what’s the purpose of work?

Just asking questions

BBC Worklife's Bryan Lufkin assures us that fatigue-inducing video chats won't be around forever. So what will happen once the pandemic is under control?

When I worked at Trilogy, one of my fellow managers seemed to have a brutal case of absenteeism. He was never at his desk. Even more concerning, when I did see him he seemed to be doing random things — talking to one person, going for coffee with another, or maybe just standing around and looking at people.
