Yes, imagine that, I can criticize what I see, is that OK with you?
Yes, shutting up and being happy to pay the bills sounds like a dream to me. What's wrong with that? I'd like a life beyond constantly running around so other people can pay their bills. As a matter of fact my #1 priority these days is getting the hell out of North America.
That's because you are in North America where employers see employees like spoiled food at the back of the fridge. Yes, you need to be a team player with a pedigree a mile long, but it's never enough, and "team" only goes so far as "boss", then suddenly it's all about THEM.
Well then there must be odd Dollaramas here in Montreal, they all have their battery display cases at the cash registers, but I can't recall ever seeing a lighter there. Chocolate bars, yes.
And get rid of the large amount of useless bureaucratic sludge slowing everything down? Oh no, automation is only good when *you* lose your job and *they* save money.
" I certainly doesn't share it (nor does most of the company in Montreal)."
LOL that's because of government interference, not because of actual results...
Good luck making the kind of boards I've done with Altium, you've already said that your only experience was ONE board, what the hell do you know?
" I work with Bombardier so I you can sleep safe knowing Bombardier doesn't hire PCB designer."
There you go. Finally you're starting to see. There are no more electronics companies in Montreal.
" I really wonder what are those odd orange mechanical things I've been working with in the last few years."
They're the things you *maintain*, certainly not *design* or build. ETS is the new technician factory. You don't have what it takes to design robots. You're an "engineer" the same way an aircraft maintenance engineer is an engineer, because the government says so, not because of what you can actually *do*.
Quebec was also the only place in the world AFAIK that had a tax on tax, they shamelessly added the provincial sales tax on top of the sub-total with the Canadian sales tax...
Even the corrupt, greedy, selfish psychopaths running this banana republic had to agree this was excessive, they changed the formula but adjusted the rate to come out to the same total in the end. But now they can say they no longer tax tax.
Because electrical engineering is a shrinking profession ? You can't see that? There is nothing left to *do* in electrical engineering, but everywhere else you look in Montreal it's just lawyers and notaries and accountants and MBAs blowing each other to manage this or that.
I think I need to sit down with you and explain a few things to you. You're headed for trouble with your naive tech-only worldview. It *will* explode in your face like a grenade launched by a fat Quebecois pig into an 18 year old's face. Wait for your first gray hair. You'll see.
And if you don't see the problem of being with a hot woman you can't have sex with, you're either very gay or very young. Past a certain age, young women don't look at you anymore, and women your own age start looking LIKE you.
Your engineering job can be done by anyone around the planet, and one day will be. Getting a degree in something that is tied BY LAW to be *local*, that's much better. No one is going to get their condo managed by someone in China, but all your precious robots are already all being built there.

Yes, see the little "Preview" button?
Yeah, I wonder why this generation hasn't discovered new elements or new fundamental forces, or new Euclid's theorems. Stupid generation.
Are you seriously this stupid?

As long as that mindset applies to CEOs as well, I'm all for it. I've never seen outsourcing go that way however. Odd, that.
..or people that can barely spell or string a coherent sentence together.
It does seem to be a predictable cycle, historically.
Now THAT was funny!
Rent seekers.

I don't follow. I can't even think of a place that sells lighters in plain view, but the same places have racks of batteries.
No one smokes anymore, you can light steel wool with a fresh 9V and shoving it in the wool.
Funny how your corporate masters and the politicians they bought are trying to go back how people lived 300 years ago.
I'd prefer Megan Mullaly if it's the same to you.
I doubt it's so uniform that it all perfectly evens out.
I doubt it, now you need a fuel supply, and how do you position something with the consistency of smoke?
Have you heard of this thing called light pressure? How do you plan on keeping this magical collector in place?
Quebec has a massive electricity surplus and technology always gets better. What's wrong with a superconductor grid spreading power where it's needed?

Why did you write "ion" in all caps? It's not an acronym.
Capitalism or not, this isn't Star Trek. We can't build perfect technologies right out of the gate, first try.

This place is so absurd and laughable.
