December news: Ubisoft workers in Halifax unionize! January news: Ubisoft shuts down Halifax office!

Coincidence? Nah! That's just how the cookie crumbles here in the allegedly socialist utopia of Canada. It ain't no utopia for workers, certainly not if they're gonna get all uppity and unionize. In Canada, socialism is for the corporate sector, not the workers. Recall it was only a year prior that the first Amazon warehouse in Canada, in Laval Quebec, was unionized. Amazon, owned by an insatiable greedbag whose wealth runs into the hundreds of billions, responded by shutting down all seven "fullfilment centres" in the province, throwing 1,700 workers into unemployment. While we're mourning the shabby state of worker protections in Canada, let's not forget the first Walmart to unionize was immediately shut down by the mega-billionaire Walton clan. That was over ten years ago. Employers who violate worker's rights to unionize need to be held to account.
