Brilliant!!

Under the ASCBA, an ambulance service has to identify the number of paramedics who are "essential", but it does not prevent strike / lock out, only ensures that a specific number of personnel available for calls. ( How that differs from a normal compliment of staff seems odd).

Mike, I'm not interested in a pi$$ing contest. Your statements about Paramedics are true. But City of Toronto standards outside of the MOH requirements don't necessarily reflect all services. I know one person, last year. ( 9 months career college, preceptorship, and then hired). As far as...

Not to digress in the thread too much. I'm not saying the job doesn't have its hazards. I was in a relationship with a paramedic for quite a long time. For every "hero moment" there were a ton of bad calls, but there was also a lot of slackassery as well. PCP is a baseline for Paramedics, and...

It depends. In ON Paramedics aren't "Essential services". ( Yes, I know how stupid that sounds, but in fact, they can strike. I guess if the Ambulance Drivers go out, 911 then routes Fire.... Have to agree. The risk reward matrix in Fire, and Police vs paramedics is a bit imbalanced. I've...

Not wrong...

The only good part to being in Butt F7%K nowhere, is the Butt F7%king....

All good if the mandate is to only deliver a functional Army unit. However the ability to have a defense presence other than Central Canada I'm sure is a factor as well.

Concur. Mitic should throw his hat back in the ring....

However, the CAF is quite unlike a lot of employers, where support actually needs to be with, or at least adjacent to the units it's supporting. Speaking from the area...the sticker shock is rolling up through the Ottawa Valley as well. Yes, Pet is still affordable ( relatively), but being...

The main trouble...or difference was that Windsor was a very clear delineation point between where Federal Authority ends and Municipal / Provincial began. A border crossing, and impeding the traffic flow to those crossing, is a very definitive Federal issue. A Federal site ( Parliament...

I think the survey is also quite subjective. In a boom / bust economy, things like stability, pension and benefits are either desirable, or not so much. Sure, a 22 year old in the current job climate can afford to be a bit "picky", because there is a high demand for workers, even those with...

That's page 1....

Oh, Mike, let's not digress down that particular rabbit hole.... We'd be here all day. Suffice it to say: Years ago many came to the teaching profession after successful careers in other fields. Often taking the year of Teachers College, and then moving into the profession, with a ton of world...

I once had a conversation with a bunch of teachers at a dinner party....( Longest 3 hours of my life). Several had a hard time grasping how I made more than them, without benefit of a Uni Degree....

Given that 34% of Canadians plan to retire by winning the lottery.... A steady, growth based career, which offers unique opportunity, pension and benefits...I'd say many of those who weren't in favour don't generally know much about the CAF.

Well done.

.....and members don't want to get a jab in their arm.... Cue the outrage in 3, 2, 1...

It has been. One of the major pitfalls pre-Covid was offload delay.

Once worked for a Director in a Municipal setting, that should never have made it to the C suite. Undereducated, and suffering from ego, everything that he didn't understand was a challenge, and those that disagreed with him were his enemies. Routine abuses of power, embezzlement, and fraud...
