Just after unionisation

In response to a question from CBC News, Leduc-Labelle said the restructuring exercise began "well before the start of the unionization process within the studio in June 2025."

Yeah and my ass is chicken

I worked there for five years. A lot of good, talented, passionate people there who had their ideas stepped on by Ubisoft corporate at every step of the way. The studio regularly received recognition from corporate, was trusted in taking over trainwreck projects from other studios, and with partnering with Ubisoft's flagship studios on their mobile games.

The only reasons to shutter the studio are A) corporate ruined every original project they tried to push forward, and B) they unionized.

Just like Amazon in Quebec. I think both these unionisations are huge embarrassments for Carney and you will see the federal government continue its attacks on unionised workers.

Looking at you flight attendant vs the 104

Should be illegal right after a union was formed.

Yeah. 

they can just have a document for every branch that says it should be closed, then when unionized pull that out and say it’s been in the works forever. 

the timing of this stinks.

The recent unionization of this office should be in the headline

I think reporters should start saying things like, "Leduc-Labelle claimed..." instead of "Leduc-Labelle said..." in contexts like this. Yes, it introduces bias, but I argue it adds a countervailing bias to the one attempted by Leduc-Labelle, who appears to be engaging in standard corporate propaganda messaging.

CBC have a clear center right bias and this show in this piece

Knew this was going to happen as soon as I saw they unionized.

They should spin off and call themselves Webesoft.
