Wow...

Average number of sick days taken by public servants growing post-COVID, new data shows​

After hitting a low of 5.9 days in 2020-21, number rising as people return to offices​

Between 2017-18 and 2023-24, employees at the Canada Border Services Agency and Correctional Service Canada were consistently among the federal departments and agencies that took the most sick days.

A survey of federal public servants published earlier this year suggested that employees at those organizations were also among the least likely to recommend their office as a great place to work.

Foreign influence or foreign interference? The distinction between legality and illegality is general whether things are overt and acknowledged (overt acts by diplomats, trade reps, lobbyists etc), versus acts done covertly and clandestinely and contrary our own security interests. That’s what last summer’s legislation creating new foreign interference offences and creating the laws for a foreign agent registry established.

We’ve been taking about it in the Foreign Interference thread. There was a recent announcement that the Foreign Agents Registry will be up and running this fall and the person in charge of same named.

I’m talking about both. Interference is the bigger threat, but there are a lot of MPs and senators involved in legal-but-dodgy shit with foreign actors that should be tightened up. Hopefully this registry will help with that, and hopefully it gets implemented soon.

Im one of those PS using their sick time more often. When we were mostly WFH I would often work anyways if ill. Im comfy at home and dont have to worry about getting anyone sick. No way in Hell im going into the office ill. This was entirely predictable.

Also folks who are sick spread more widely now. Younger employees who lack sick leave banks will also be more likely to come in sick.

I haven't pissed off anyone in a few days.

So here we go.

Here is Former Liberal MP Dan McTeague about what a bang up great job the Carney Liberals are doing on EV mandates.

Luckily we get a ton of sick time. Im younger and only been there s few years but ive never had to worry about running out.

Love these guys at NP. Good wake up call for all you excuse-everything-the-liberals-do crowd

 

[ArmyRick]

And here we go with I guess "fringe alt right" media calling it out

 

[ArmyRick]

Im one of those PS

Federal, provincial or municipal?

 

[ArmyRick]

And here we go with an excellent video (that I am sure very few will watch) by former CPC MP Michelle Ferreri

Why are you introducing him as "Former Liberal MP" Dan McTeague rather than "Current head of an O&G lobby org Dan McTeague?"

Which is more relevant in defining the context, credibility, and latent bias in his 2025 opinions?

What’s it work out to, 15 working days a year or so? Definitely quite a bit for younger healthier people. Disappears quickly if one is dealing any sort of longer term or complex health issue with a need to attend specialist appointments, things like that. Same if one has a suppressed immune system, or just a couple young kids who are always catching stuff.

Are you guys able to bank it for later? A healthy sick leave bank is one of those amazing safety nets you don’t realize the value of til you need it.

For those following the whole book ban situation in AB, Margaret Atwood has weighed in on her book being banned.

The point, in case you didn't get it, is yesterdays Liberals aint today Liberals. And yes, he is very open about promoting O & G, what is wrong with that?

Just curious, are you PSAC? And may I ask what ministry you work for?

The point, is that by hanging your hat on his formal liberal mp status to emphasize "yesterdays Liberals arent today's Liberals" while omiting
A- he's a paid lobbyist
B -his political views have shifted majorly since his time as an MP and he's now pretty far right within the CPC spectrum

You're deliberately and dishonestly mischaracterizing information.

Extreme example- but its directly analogous to qualifying DJT's opinion as that of a prominent DNC donor

 

[ArmyRick]

Since you want to be blunt. So will I.

Its a loud and clear wake up call for yo Liberal defenders at all cost (I am really growing tired of the excuses and justifications I hear over and over again. Its tiring. I suspect I hit a nerve because you guys can't handle criticism.

I suspect sooner or later, I am getting banned from this site. Lets see. Many of you here defended Trudeau to the last degree, and now, you can't find anyone to defend him.

Did you evven bother to watch the video, yes or no?

Watch and see how well Carney is perceived in the fall sitting of parliament.
