Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

[brihard]

PM Carney has called three by-elections for the end of August. These will be for seats vacated by two LPC and one CPC MP. Winning one of the three will give LPC 171, which is enough for a majority by current Parliamentary math and given other pending resignations.

A few more MPs are on the way out but have not yet formally resigned, so probably a second by of by-elections in October some time.

Yup ...

Advocates hail feds’ rejection of Billy Bishop airport plan, while trade groups pan it

The federal government’s decision to halt Ontario’s plan for a major expansion of Billy Bishop airport will guard Toronto’s waterfront against serious setbacks to its revitalization, advocates say — while proponents of the project dub the move 'disappointing.'

Nope.
The Feds are sending message to Dougie that the province doesn’t have authority over the airport.

Why not both?

Both you and Halifax skirted around the the issue of distraction and went straight to the punitive.

No one is skirting around anything. Managers should manage. If you have a team member not being productive fix that. There are multiple and escalating ways to fix it.

So do you simply offer it as an option when hiring, provide it with family flexibility written in or take the simple solution of mandating time in the office? Just asking.

The highlighted portion is what I think would be a fair proposition.

I'll buy that. Before COVID there were not a lot of situations that endorsed working from home; although there were definitely some. The rules didn't change but working from home was one of few options available if a business wanted to stay in business. COVID ended, companies that had found that productivity was still satisfactory have stayed with the home concept along with the attendant savings in real estate. Some have told their staff to return to the office. Their prerogative. People who went out and bought houses 80 miles outside of the office based on the assumption that staying home would be permanent should have got it in writing. The difficulty with the feds is I believe simply that one size doesn't fit all. There are departments where working from remote locations works great but if they write in exceptions unions will take it to court and win. So better to call everyone back and perhaps get rid of a few employees at the same time. But establishing the principles at contract time is a good solution.
