You could force exploitive gig work platforms to meet high labour standards, and even require unionisation of the gig workers to provide basic employment protections. That would help in general because even several government departments use contracted workers to gearound basic labour standards right now.

grey_maniac@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Michael Kovrig: Don't buy the gaslighting, China's intentions towards Canada are hostile -- [Opinion]103·5 days agoIn a publication that may want to distract from the fact that America also has hostile intentions towards Canada, is much closer, and would benefit from Canada not having any alliances with large foreign powers (nasty authoritarian regime or not) that are opposed to American interests.
Nationalize internet service and put Canada Post in charge. It’s about making sure all Canadians can communicate effectively and affordably. Penalize private delivery services that don’t meet the labour standards (and as private citizens refuse to use them, nickel and dime everything you can out of them, send shit back not delivered by Canada Post and refuse to pay for the return - just refuse delivery), expose all private holdings of delivery services stock, assets, relatives with equity positions, etc. of anyone in government who therefore have a conflict of interest and charge them a fee equivalent to all profits to be made if they vote against Canada post employees. It’s a service, not a business. We don’t expect the military to turn a profit.

recently, it’s felt like that momentum has kind of….gone away.
While I recognise coincidence is more common than most realize, I do find it suspicious that as anti monopoly efforts gain momentum a lot of (definitely important) distractions are brought to the forefront and fascism essentially gets corporate backing.

It’s not like Albertans have the balls to get rid of her, force a leadership change, or take any socially positive action related to their political leadership. Do they?
