Good post until the spurious shot you took in the last line.  I don't know why that was necessary or helpful, but you correctly call attention to a problem that should garner far more media coverage.  The AWCBC is responsible for an annual report on workplace fatalities in Canada, and its release should garner an article and review in the Globe, in my opinion, given the shockingly high number of workplace fatalities each year.  I went to the web site, and see the last report was for 2015.  So reportage on the issue is even worse than you indicate.
