My personal fav is people in my company forget we have GPS tracking all our fleet vehicles. Once denied someone PTO because half the team already asked for it off, sure enough calls in sick and GPS says he is at the event he wanted the time off to go to. That was a fun one with HR
and dumb enough to take a company issued vehicle?

Yeap! We generously allow personal use of company vehicles as long as personal use is logged for tax purposes. People often forget we track them

The old post on Facebook that you took a sick day for some retail therapy, forgetting that you befriended your boss...

<<Laughs in>> put your DEUs on for inspection with your 82 pattern buttpack full of toiletries then get marched to sick parade infront of the battalion formed up and watching you.
Yeah I'm definitely jealous. I love being in my 40s and mag dumping my guts thanks to gastro and being told I have to goto the CDU to see a doctor to get the day off thanks to a dummy supervisor. First time tried calling in sick in 6 years.

If you have a family doctor, many will now say 'here's your note, and here's my invoice' (they're not covered under OHIP).

I have one but good luck seeing him in less than a couple weeks. And I still have to pay for the privilege of getting a note to tell my employer I wasted the doctor’s time getting a glaringly obvious diagnosis.

He should be worried. Carney got flustered dealing with a journalist. Guessing Carney as CEO supreme didn't have a lot of people talking back to him or calling him out.
I agree. I don't think the HoC is going to be his favorite place...
He gets easily flustered and frustrated when journalists press him for answers or ask unexpected questions he wasn't wanting - so sitting in Parliament (especially during Question Period) I don't think will be his happy place

Failed Immigration Minister and Failed Housing Minister turned Justice Minister made fun of Poilievre for his comments about home owners and self defence.
“This isn’t the Wild West. It’s Canada,” Justice Minister Sean Fraser said on X.
“Canadians deserve real solutions that make us safer, not slogans that inspire fear and chaos for Pierre’s political survival.”
Here's one Canadian that won't be around for the Liberals "real soulutuons".
Allegedly the man was murdered in front of his wife and kids.

Targeted attacks (as that one is alleged to have been) will not be deterred by legislation.
That’s pretty quick for police to release that it was ‘targeted’. I would guess they got a statement from his wife and that the motive was clear from the interaction within this residence. I’m curious if they went in there specifically to kill him or for something else in the residence.
And no, legislation won’t directly deter stuff like this, but I think that’s the point. This is already illegal. The argument being made is that it should be easier for people to possess and use the means to effectively defend themselves and their families in their residences.

Likely not. But it may give home owners more confidence to defend themselves and not fear being bankrupted trying to decide at 3am whether someone is trying to steal your TV or murder you.
If I royally screwed up 2 jobs and you hired me for a 3rd I would think you're either really forgiving or you want me to fail again.
I wonder which is it in the Justice Ministers case.

The article I read said the house was targeted for robbery.
Thanks, I didn’t see that. I did a super cursory google and didn’t see his name coming up elsewhere for anything, but I wasn’t trying very hard.

From a variety of sources, it appears to have been a targeted robbery, and he died of gunshot wounds (plural). One Redditor claims he owned a mortgage brokerage. And the GTA mortgage and real estate business is a bit of a wild west - one real estate brokerage was recently shuttered after its owners allegedly took $8M from their trust account (and the regulator turned a blind eye to it).
I suspect that a bunch of folks in FINTRAC and the RCMP will be doing some reviews in the near term.
And I suspect that all three assailants are already out of the country.
