Maybe we should contact the South Koreans and see if they want to put their car plants here.

Generally managers don’t count under unions but I am not sure on their specifics.

The more I learn about Canada Posts practices the angrier I get at them. For example you can get paid overtime on top of your hourly standard wage well working a 8 hour regularly scheduled shift by completing your route quicker than 8 hours (i.e. route is scheduled for 8 hours, you do it in 4...

So where did the L85 land in terms of lessons learned?

It is also a fiscal issue. Volunteerism goes down when your too busy worrying about yourself and family. Can’t afford to volunteer when you could spend that time working to put food on the table.

Fitness is part of them being a POS. The minimum standard is below the floor. I can point out plenty of examples of people I have met who could pass the minimum but not succeed at the job. Everyone else is then working harder to make up for their weakness. If fitness isn’t important to you...

That test is way to low a standard. Really it is a joke, I purposely walked most of it to show how low a standard it is (and I am not particularly fit myself). Yes that 380lbs alcoholic should have been removed, could barely pass that test, couldn’t do a lot of the job (as they were a stoker...

So because I take a full equality stance I am now Hegseth? You all are arguing for sexist double standards. Canada has dropped standards for years and it is embarrassing. I watched a 380lbs alcoholic pass the force test once, no way he should have stayed in yet nothing was done. Hegseth is a...

Considering formal dress for women is acceptable as a suit and pants yet for a man a skirt is not considered acceptable then by definition pants and a suit is gender neutral. I am scottish, just got married in a kilt, doesn’t offend me none. However that would be forcing a societally...

It’s a uniform, not a personal fashion statement. At this point in time pants and suits are gender neutral. One uniform, one standard. Can’t meet either you shouldn’t be doing the job.

Spanish American war was more recent.

That was going to happen with the accelerated adopting of their EAFs and shutdown of their blast furnace due to America’s tariffs. I suspect the game plan is to just see how much they don’t have to pay.

Just because that place mentions the ‘Somalia Affair’ (should be the Somalia murder) look up what people got for punishment for that brutal murder. I believe it was 4 years in prison for the highest sentence and basically everyone else received next to nothing.

So I just found a model of public housing which is very similar to the concept I mentioned a while ago with a dedicated crown corp to build public housing. Vienna in Austria has a public housing model which has been in use since the 20s. 50% of their population live in public housing, but it...

One job, one uniform, one standard. We don’t need sexist clothing options because culturally we have a history of gendered clothing. We also have a cultural history of women being forbidden from serving but we pay no mind to that today. What people wear or do on their own time is their...

Canada’s existential threat is and always has been America. Our strategy for dealing with them for the last 90 or so years has been to try and be as friendly and non-threatening as possible with deep trade relationships to make invasion damaging for them. I am convinced the only way to truly...

I am of the opinion that there should not be women’s service dress. One standard for all, proper equality. Clothes fitting poorly is a separate issue from having different uniforms based off sex.

I am fine with different levels of dress, I am more referring to one standard within that level.

Why would I be kidding when I think we should have one standard of uniform? Waste of time and money to push multiple different standards for the same level of dress, for the same job/unit/element. One job, one uniform, one standard.

Should be one order of dress which is the same no matter the sex.
