Didn't the Alberta unions recently prove they have the spinal strength of a much adored slinky?

And considering Smith's love of the notwithstanding clause, any union standing up should be forming bilateral strike-in-lieu agreements of some kind with multiple other unions.

    She bent the knee for trump. She should move out of Alberta and move to the crumbling USA before she creates a crumbling Alberta. If she doesn't bring Alberta with her though, then she is nothing to trump.

    They should pay it into an escrow account that requires dual sign-off to release. Proves willingness to pay but doesn't just give away the money. The fact this wasn't suggested or required is it's own red flag.

    The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing did not answer when asked if there are any avenues for tenants to recover that money if it is determined that they are not in fact behind on payment.

    Everything you need to know right there.

    I don't disagree that there is a lot of bad actors who attempt to game the system indefinitely, but this isn't the way to address those issues.

    Not sure what else I'd expect from this government though.

  • Interesting. On one hand, it's insensitive. On the other, actual phishers aren't going to be respecting your feelings either. Anybody who failed this is indeed a cyber risk.

    (Obviously the employer shouldn't have been making their lives hell in the first place, but that's an entirely different issue)

    The problem isn't that most Canadians don't support buying locally, but the multitude of other reasons it's difficult such as deceptive labeling, lack of availability of home-grown options, deceptive retailers, and the expense where home-grown is often dramatically more expensive than a cheap Chinese/US has import.

    In a Canada where your dollar has very limited buying power for the foreseeable future, the government needs to help heavily incentivise Canadian production and the distribution/cost offset of it.

    Yup. No deal doesn't mean trade stops. It provides more flexibility for governments to act on the democratic will of their constituents. Free trade agreements limit that flexibility.
