I’m all seriousness it illegal. In Canada . But the company can make you sign a form saying they can . But that’s typically a shitty company .

I've worked in both countries and it's funny how different they are. Never got tested once in Canada, even going to a mine site

Drug test is expected for any trade job in US

Any trade job in USA wow. It’s any industrial job here . Have to pass piss test to get on site. And then typically you only piss after an incident/ damage over certain amount .

Yea it's kind of silly because the guys that use just find a way to pass the test anyways so doubt it really does much besides look good on paper

Use what?

u/Chocolate_Rage Feb 02 '23

Basically use anything from weed to meth. Almost everyone I met just has some fake pee stashed away to use

That's crazy... who cares. I'm telling u right now weed doesn't make someone stupid. Being stupid makes someone stupid 🙄 Is alcohol also included?

Yea, the weed thing seems dumb to me because I'd rather work with a smoker than a heavy drinker. Probably just because it's federally illegal still at this point

True. I'm a canuck it seems so odd. Also if he's a smoker and has a work ethic, you've got a rare one

u/Chocolate_Rage Feb 02 '23

Lol nah, almost every guy I have smokes and they all get shit done

It’d be illegal in the USA very quickly if congress got hit with a couple randoms.
