    All Things First Nations - CF help, protests, solutions, residential schools, etc. (merged)

    You are spot on, we have had pop up blockades on the northline here outside of what has been shown on the news. Since we employ a LOT of natives and/or people related to natives, we get to hear the rumors. Right now the rumors are Moricetown will be getting another Blockade.. the first one that...

    Re-mortgaging house vs. HELOC

    I have skin in this game from the position of a real estate investor, but I am not qualified to propagate it.. any rate, I think this article may be worth a read. Side note it is tougher to give an opinion, without knowing context because each system has different pros and cons... a heloc...

    Winter BMQ

    Can't tell you much more then what is already here, plus I am not in the armed forces. Having said that I work outside in -30 relativity often. But I'll reiterate if allowed buy good thermals, best socks you can and cycle out your socks as often as possible. I wear helly hansen or carhartt...

    Putting a member on your ignore list

    Fair enough mate, it is just my opinion. Which to be honest, is just one fellows gripe of a situation. I am sure it is the way, it is, for good reason. But thank you for the expansion of why it is this way. Abdullah

    Putting a member on your ignore list

    It is not horribly effective because you still see they posted, just not the comment instead of hiding the fact they even posted. Just my .02 Abdullah

    CNR Strike 2019

    Oh nothing has changed in that regard ;) they would still hate me haha I just feel striking over money for us is not a legitimate reason. I'd realistically be looking at slashed tires ;) But I just think a strike should only happen as a last resort, for legitimate reasons and end as soon as...

    CNR Strike 2019

    It means stopping the train and refusing to move it. Trains have handles to control the movement, automatic brake handle, independent brake handle, dynamic brake handle, your throttle handle and reverser handle. So going handles up just means you no longer will be articulating those handles to...

    CNR Strike 2019

    The company backed down from what they wanted to take away from us, so that was a plus. -They upped our dental, medical, life ins, disability a little, barely worth mentioning. -made beltpack workers safer ie allowed to ride in locomotives, which is a huge win. -made it so when we file rest...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    From my biased point of view it makes sense that senior members exploit junior ones. I would think if it was reversed the senior member would have more avenues or confidence in dealing with the situation. Quite suprising at how much is being paid out to be honest though. Abdullah

    CNR Strike 2019

    Amen to that. The National Farmers Union have already had a display of solidarity, Today the longshoremen's union is in cahoots with the TCRC for another display of solidarity (one which I dare say will hurt). The BCGEU, ALP unions have also been bolstering our picket lines as well. The common...

    CNR Strike 2019

    The culture has very much changed. Heck even in the 2.5 years I have been at CN. I was trained to get off moving equipment and grab switches, so the engineman would not have to stop. We were supposed to only do it under 4 mph.. sometimes we did not follow that rule to closely. We used to ride...
