    Ford CEO Jim Farley laments he can’t fill 5,000 mechanic jobs

    I've read news stories about parents having to take their middle-aged kids to court to get them out of the nest so they could sell and downsize.

    Ford CEO Jim Farley laments he can’t fill 5,000 mechanic jobs

    Not everyone is suited for Customer Service. Or, being cooped up with the same partner for years. It's the little things that get to you. Opening and closing the glove compartment a thousand times a day. Foot tapping. Our Retired Chief mentioned at one of our luncheons that he put the...

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    Funny how PS Retirement Systems work. Prior to 2021, ours maxed-out at 35 years of Credited / Pensionable Service. That was the day you "popped smoke". Now, they can stay on and continue to accrue Credited Service until they drop dead. Is there a 35-year cap in the Federal PS?

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    Not familiar with their Retirement System. Reads to me like at age 50, "two years of pensionable service" would get a 4% pension? Hope I read that wrong.

    Emergency Response Times

    Obviously, 9-1-1 Response Time is a priority with municipal taxpayers. How much are they willing to pay vs how long are they willing to wait? Nipigon is served by SNEMS, whose HQ is in Thunder Bay, ON. The Province of Ontario shares half the costs of paramedic services with municipalities...
