Jebus. That was brutal.

IMHO, it comes down to what is the requirement of the position. Do you walk up to an employer, apply, and then cite a religious exemption when required to work on the sabbath? If the job requires you interact with other humans, and wishes to minimize risk, so requires you to be immunized? Let...

Having worked in a Municipal Environment previously ( non medical), it was not a requirement. Our day care staff, LTC employees, and paramedics were required to be, and submit proof. Federally I've worked with the RCMP, as well as another Crown Corp ( current). Not a requirement, with the...

Honest answer, I didn't...... ;)

Because the same reasoning applies. It is a bold assumption that ALL public servants "work entirely from home". It is also fallacy to expect that their working environment will be to do so indefinitely. The employer has the right to dictate how their work environment should operate, and that...

As are many. But it has always been thus. I don't view it as holding their livelihoods, nor professional lives "over their heads". Perhaps that's where I'm wrong. There is a very definitive requirement, and the consequence of inaction has been outlined. Children need to be vaccinated in...

Yup. https://army.ca/forums/threads/former-reservist-stripped-of-order-of-military-merit-for-wearing-medals-he-was-never-awarded.134131/

Ah. There's the rub. What much of the issue is, both CF and Federal service, is that this is one of the first times, in a very long period, where there is a very direct ( and stated), consequence of action. For the last few generations there have always been implied penalties, and a ton of...

Could that just be a formalized letter, and sent out to the remaining hold outs, both in the CAF and across the Federal Service? Well said.

Funny enough, I still have mine.... One thing I can say for them is that they certainly were robust.

Great read. It basically strips away a lot of the current "Management" trends. I was once told this, and I pass on whenever I encounter a new manager / leader. "Management isn't about directing the work, you hire staff that are competent to do that....management is often how well you can...

I would venture a guess, that not unlike Police services, some are better than others on that front. The one I've had a lot of experience with (NW of Ottawa), in combination with the local police, has earned the nickname "cowboy country".... But I digress....

Unless I'm mistaken, only ACP paramedics are governed / regulated. PCP Paramedics aren't. I do think they need to be. I've had some interactions with some superior people in the field, I've also seen some pretty big $#itpumps.

...once more in english?

I remember being issued them before the recall.... Slightly less glidy on ice than a pair of hockey skates....

Concur. An excellent example of a P3 project with a high degree of success. It should be used as an example for the Capital renewal strategies going forward. Lots more land available in suburban and semi-rural areas just outside the urban core. Other than personnel who are living downtown (...

I think this has been the main reason why the BOC hasn't pushed prime higher....we don't want to recreate what occurred South of the border in 2008. Not necessarily arguing on that one, BUT ...I think the entire process needs an overhaul, including real estate law as a practice.

This is by far one of the main reasons for some of the crummy real estate practices that are currently happening. Different jurisdictions also having different rules, some being absolutely poor. I had an offer in on a home outside Ottawa. Simple transaction, offered at a price, I accepted the...

As a homeowner for over 20 years now, why must it be one or the other? Now, I am not a "flipper" but I do see a lot of the equity in my home, and if I choose to leverage same, then why shouldn't I? I think there is also something to be said for a free market economy, and the ability for people...

That's a heck of a slippery slope. What about those who improve their home using their own sweat equity? Market increase in value is one thing, but buying a home, and then investing say $30K in a kitchen remodel and then paying taxes on their already post tax income investment? Or all the time...
