No, no, no. Can't make it easy to make people effective.

If Amazon around here (SE Alberta) is any indication of their service outside of major centres, it will be sub contracted out. They still do a good job, but it is not Amazon. No shiny trucks (rusty Dogde minivan), no 1 day delivery guarantee (2 days instead). And we know how increasing layers...

We could try to use the new referendum legislation, but the provincial government has the final say on if one actually takes place, despite the number of signatures, so probably not.

I'm in a small town, single family home and I have a community mail box. I was just wondering why Brad Swallows was specifying low population, high density areas when they are the most likely to have community boxes already.

So suburban, single family homes keep door to door? Rural and inner city and row house plebs get community mail?

No, this level of corruption is what is expected of the Smith government. So weak and scared in her position she is refusing to call a by election to let the new NDP party leader run.

Patch up for HA, that's a 9mm to the back of the head.

If they were able to 50.1% then they can have 50.1% of the land Alberta owns. No crown land, no Suffield, etc

RIP Maj (ret'd) Jason Vaughn. Passed away April 30 from cancer. Artillery officer, I had the pleasure doing my Mr Gnr alongside his whole he was doing Tech Staff. Smart, funny and an accomplished solider who served in Afghanistan as a FOO/FAC.

Yep, he gets employer contribution pension, just spent a week in Edmonton at an industrial safety conference.

Plumber and Heating Tech, max Cpl incentive 77k per year plus maybe some TD. Friend who is plumber/gas fitter without any supervisory responsibilities working doing locates and inspecting compressor stations, unionized, holidays, sick pay, etc. $44/hour 91k per year before overtime or training...

5.2 talks about the contract/route letter duration, not taking weekends off. My experience is dated but class b reservists followed the same schedule as the unit they worked at. Sometimes their home unit works ask them to work there fort a weekend exercise, but they are not required to. The...

Yeah, I was a Cpl for longer than it took me to get from MCpl to CWO. Guess knowing admin as a Cpl is wrong, but right for supervisors.

And if we take out the students who wouldn't pass CFAT how many do we have?

OAS and CPP are the reason for the bridge benefit. No shade on you, but why was it that as a Cpl I knew about the bridge benefit but so many of my seniors and peers are firing up the outrage bus when they learn about it. They become strangely silent when told that their pension contributions...
