There’s some pretty deep analysis of 1960s horni posting going on here.

This is a good argument.

This is the most compelling argument. I find it gross that companies build a profile of me, but as long as that doesn’t change my life, it’s an annoying cost of using free services.

However, when the state, the only organization that can legally use violence, has access to that data, it’s a different story. Then it moves from gross to dangerous.

oooh the character arc

In 1872, a group of Toronto printers went on strike, fighting for a nine-hour work day. (The standard work day was 10 to 12 hours at the time.) The workers’ demand to reduce their hours had been refused by print shop owners, and in particular, George Brown, a respected father of Confederation and founder of The Globe, a predecessor to The Globe and Mail.

…

Ten thousand people marched in support of the workers to Queen’s Park.

…

Many of the printers lost their jobs, but the incident led then prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald, a rival of Brown’s who was keen to gain worker support, to legalize union activities. In the years that followed, unions across North America pushed for shorter work days, and the eight-hour day eventually became standard.

…

There’s some dispute around the origins of America’s Labor Day, but some historians believe U.S. labour leader Peter J. McGuire, inspired after visiting a Toronto labour gathering, organized the first American Labor Day parade in 1882.
