VIA and CN are seperate entities these days. They operate on our rails, but are a completely seperate company. Having said that, they are still a decent outfit. But I believe they are double engineman, so you pretty much have to be in the industry to get the job anyways. Brihard, yeah... :(...

Aye Mike, I think we have chatted regarding the changes at CN since your Dad and Grandpas time :) Now that I am a little more rested, I will say, for anyone looking for a job CN offers amazing opportunities and has a great history with Veterans. In fact many members locally either management or...

*Allegedly* I feel compelled to write a post, further explaining the strike situation as I see it with CN rail. I originally did not post due to concerns over my job and/or feeling it was not a relevant post for this site.. now seeing how widely it is affecting Canadians and Canadas economy I...

It is not due to the strike, it is due to CN's decision to only run intermodal trains during the strike. There is far more then enough managers to service the propane needs of quebec, but the intermodal trains make more money. I can break the numbers down if needed, MOW managers, trainmasters...

May he rest in peace :(

Dang shame. People are not allowed an opinion anymore. I do not agree with him in all things, but he should not have been fired and why should someone be forced to apologize for something they believe? From what I understood, he was annoyed with immigrants for not supporting the poppy drive...

So apparently we do not have to worry ^^ The city said we have no lead service pipes in our community, our homes is a relatively new build so no lead in the copper solder as well. But it does have me thinking of just installing something anyways. Cheap enough it is worth the peace of mind...

Very, very interesting. Did do some reading on that, fascinating subject. https://www.diffen.com/difference/Bottled_Water_vs_Tap_Water I told my wife about this and she went and found the water testing reports, for the community we live in and found elevated levels of lead in our community...

And I've been drinking tap water in Rupert ffs >.< Guess bottled it is from here on out. Thanks for the share, I was completely unaware. I'm sure it is "safe" but yeah... Abdullah

Go hollar at them, or lurk around here. Options exist and in fact the armed forces could help with your education. It does not hurt to talk. Abdullah

I may have to nuance my views on blackface now... I live in a native predominate town... halloween was last night... It was amazing the number of kids who had darkened faces in order to fit with their costumes... Yes, most these kids are part native to a degree. So maybe cause they are it is...

Interesting observation.. maybe I missed it from another post any rate. https://www.facebook.com/1662441767202284/posts/2424369164342870/?sfnsn=mo&d=n&vh=e

If I knew you, which I don't. I would have a greater ability to decide wether or not you can or can not be trusted. It is the internet, my assumptions of everyone on the internet is that they are potentially lying or misrepresenting the truth. Maybe you are telling me what you think is the...

One person, one instance, that is a far cry from their reality Ballz has pointed out. But then again half an MPs wage, is still dang good money in Canada... but what's his name.. im interested for fact checking.

So if I get released from my job, having given up my previous vocation, do I deserve a hand out as well over and above UI? Most politicians will have post secondary education of some sort, the average Canadian will not. Consulting positions or activist positions are far more readily available...

Is this satire? Get 15k for being fired??? What about UI, like us plebs? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/house-of-commons-transition-services-1.5335399

... 2 things in this thread have confirmed, I live under a rock. Proud of the Muslim MP's, from my heart. Thanks for pointing them out. Halal haggis eh? I thought I was safe from that stuff since I converted... time to torture the kids ^^ Abdullah

Well, if their is a practicing Muslim, who is in any way competent.. he would be an amazing choice for the CPC next election :) But right now I have not seen a capable Muslim politician in Canada.. so no ;) But politics and religion should remain seperate.. so yes... Interesting question...

Yeah.. that worked well in Syria, Iraq, Etc. First. World. Problems. Actually I am sorry, I am getting childishly angry over your drumming of the seperation drum. I will stop and try to collect my dignity. Again sorry, but I love my country... Abdullah

This is why I will fight seperation tooth and nail until the bitter end. Not that I hate America, in fact I am very pro-USA. But because we as a nation, have our own identity that deserves to be preserved and protected. I am extremely biased, maybe even ignorantly so against anyone trying to...
