If more than two people call out sick on the same day in Alberta, It can be considered a job-action and punishable.


We need to remove the warning labels and safety restrictions form a lot of things and just let natural selection do its job; then we wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore.


“You know what? Fuck naloxone. Fuck safe-use sites. I haven’t had a doctor for six years, I have to dodge needles and crack pipes while walking, I can’t use the park down the street any more, someone shit on my front lawn and someone stole my kid’s bike. If a junkie ODs, that’s one less junkie who makes my life miserable”.

I feel for junkies and how easy it is to end up there, but I’m tired of the constant hell, disturbance, thefts, why would someone shit on a subway seat?!.. I’m with this guy. Enough is Enough.


Me too, but in this industry, they will just get a shell company owned by another shell company that will mysteriously go bankrupt when the first lawsuit hits.


OR… OR or or… finish the sheppard line to its fullest extents? Cheaper since you only have to drill one hole!


I mean its a great way to encourage everyone to use a VPN…





Cuts. Most of the provinces are blue right now. Look around to how well that’s going for your day to day services.


Peoples willingness to do things that are illegal. Workers died to give us unions and employment law; its important people don’t forget that.


I worked out there a long time ago… A lot of the Alberta funding was just grants to companies to do the legally required bare minimum. Probably best it wasn’t spent because nothing was done to earn it.


Not a protest. Just everyone, nation wide. Stops going to work. Until union dispute = companies are forced to accept union demands without reprisal.




And we don’t even need “highspeed” just good night trains that can run on time and a lot of people would take it. Vancouver in 2 days with food and entertainment included? Hell yeah thats better than cattle class on AC.


Can’t we just order a fleet of toyota hiluxes with the gold card down at the local toyota dealership?



Not even young people. My company is setting up and firing their older staff to replace with TFW because cheaper… while simultaneously holding meetings about deteriorating deliverables quality…



It’s a shame they didn’t vet their members. Can confirm; Lived in VanIsle… Thats how hippies be.


The problem is management isnt willing to negotiate. Everything here is done in bad faith and they plan to use politics to force their way. All workers want is a cost of living wage; while CNR wants to cut EVERYTHING significantly. All from a company posting record profits.


Because the contract they are trying to shove through is nothing but bad for existing employees; and even worse for new ones. Huge cuts to benefits and pay, huge demands on extra working hours, shifts, and rotations; along with forcing any employee to move anywhere at any time with zero notice. All from a company posting record profits.

The workers just want a 7% raise to keep up with inflation. Average salary is 45k unless super senior.

Binding arbitration means at-least some of these horrendous measures would be forced.

Strike is the only option and from what I’ve been hearing, management is just going to try to use the strike against them.


I just want to be able to afford both food and rent in the job I studied 7 years to achieve; not be under threat of being replaced by a know-nothing with fake credentials from another country because cheaper.


I never said you cant do it, but its going to suck and take forever.


you’re the exception, not the norm. When I have to take the worktruck to BC its 12hr days stopping once for 200L. 3-4 day drive depending on the weather and borders. Simply can’t do that in an electric and itll be a long time before the infrastructure is ready for it. Think thats an extreme circumstance? How about Ottawa from Toronto in 6hrs? thats a STRETCH with modern long range electrics. Quebec City, the Sue, Halifax? All one day drives with gas currently. Until that problem is solved; electric is a great city runner and not much more.


You simply cant long-haul an electric reliably yet. As of right now its a great SECOND car…


Fools, don’t they know you need hundreds of shell numbered companies so no single amount ever gets that high and no one actually pays attention to it?




the board members of the various NGOs that pretend to do something about it.


No shit, its either you have 3k a month to spend on a basement or you’re living in a tent.



TD has screwed me enough times to leave for another bank; Considering everything I had was with Canada Trust, that was no small feat… but a consistent and ongoing problem of:

  1. Told them I was traveling, please don’t lock the cards; cards locked for fraud protection on day 1 and we cant check into hotel. Spent the night in a bar that accepted the backup cash.
  2. Inheritance cheque was “Lost” and took 2 years to recover the money. Thank fuck for taking a photo of it on arrival.
  3. Account hacked- brokerage account. No way anyone could just randomly get into it or have conned us; we check it once a year at best. took almost the entire account in 499 increments until it was dry. Took a year took a year and police investigation to get that money back.
  4. Ongoing small fees and interest that should not be there trying to get snuck past on statements.

Finally left after almost loosing a hundred grand.

No one who values their money should ever do business with that bank. They cant even do the one thing a bank is there to do.



The greediest people in the world hoard wealth; while the most generous have none.


These videos helped me convince my friends to care about “boring” issues like zoning and land use. Keep the good work up!


70 (50 after tax) isn’t even enough to pay rent on in Toronto if you have student loans… This shit is wild.


“the finest luxury rentals in the city”

Can I just have the bare-bones experience with some sound proofing, and reliable elevators?
