I'm sharing on two conversations here, one on text messaging and the other one with you. Okay. The whole reason for that strike is basically the stewardesses are more important than anything else, right? Well, that's what they're striking about is the pay for the stewardesses. And the reason why they went on strike is because the stewardesses on these flights only get paid when they're in the air. But yet they work several hours on the ground. And so checking people in, getting them to their seats, getting everybody ready to go, all that kind of thing, right? So they're only getting paid for flight time and nothing else. And the stewardesses on average only make about $40,000 up there in Canada, which is a whole truth sum for the cost of living up there. So I kind of see where they would, they will go on strike on something like that and try to raise the rates. I'm a firm believer in unions and collective bargaining, because if you're not that way, if there's not these unions around anymore, then the cost of, or the salaries that are in Canada will go down just like they did, went down in the United States because they've been just hitting the unions down here like crazy for years. So I don't know. I think there's a real purpose for unions. And it did it again. There we go. Back to you. Oh yeah. I completely understand the necessity of them and why they went on strike. But that goes back to Air Canada, the cost of air travel in Canada, dude, I can go from Toronto to Cuba cheaper than for two weeks, all in cheaper than I can fly across our country. It is stupid up here. You know, Air Canada had got the monopoly on travel within Canada and they make money hand over fist. I don't care what they say. You know, when I flew to Saskatchewan, when my mom was in the hospital, it cost me 1200 round trip. It's a 20 hour drive. Like, it's just stupid up here.
