This is absolutely wild, a massive & total failure by #CTV.

The fact that #RachelGilmore is incessantly targeted & harassed by right-wing, Poilievre supporting agitators & trolls *is* part of the election. The attacks on journalists, the misinformation, disinformation, threats & silencing is *in of itself* an important part of the news of the #election happening in #Canada right now & CTV, instead of reporting on it, has decided to duck for cover. #shame

"That backlash included a person from Pierre Poilievre’s team." #cdnpoli

Willingness to Compete in Dirty Competitions d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izad
"… a substantial proportion of participants are willing to engage in dirty behavior. Across conditions, 30-40% of participants enhance their chances of winning by #sabotaging their opponent or #lying about their performance. But note that this also means that in each condition, a majority of participants refrain from playing dirty, either by not entering the competition or by competing cleanly.
… women, higher-educated people, and older people are less willing to engage in dirty competition
… People with a higher willingness to engage in dirty #competition (and lower aversion to dirty play by others) are more likely to work in a management position and less likely to work in the public sector.
… a willingness to play dirty may be individually profitable, leading to upward mobility in corporate environments, it also seems to come at a social and psychological cost. People with a higher willingness to engage in dirty competition have fewer close contacts and lower self-esteem, and are more likely to experience feelings of #guilt and #shame."

On 10th October, the #Labour Government published the Employment Rights Bill (ERB), promised as part of their manifesto and the Plan to Make Work Pay.

Today, we learn that various measures within this bill: such as Zero Hours Contracts, Day One protection from dismissal, and Fire and Re-hire will be diluted and or removed as #Reeves' advisers have told her that they hamper growth.

To me, it represents another matter that Labour has rowed back from to chase the capitalist money God

und #spd einig beim Thema "Zurückweisung an der grenze" = die SPD hat sich erneut so tief gebückt, dass sie sich die Nase am Fußboden aufgeschlagen hat.

Und das ist auch das einzig "rote" was da noch übrig ist.
