While I disagree with many of his choices, a cull similar to Twitter would get interesting. Everybody got five minutes with him to convey what they did and he gave thumbs up or down at the end. BED would probably survive that round. He's articulate and works hard. 18 layers of managers in the sorting stations, not so much.
Like the life choices thread, musk is one end of the spectrum and public sector is the other with guaranteed jobs for life regardless of what you do and unlimited money to be spent on useless line items and people. The best line is somewhere in between.
While unsurprising, what a spineless wanted move again by the libs. By may, this won't be their problem. Either they will have prorogued until October to secure their pensions or they will be defeated with their spring budget. So cp and cupw will do nothing constructive until may and then go out again. No rush as there is no government pressure if prorogued, spend the summer and fall on the line.how many months will workers be willing to put up with that before they jump ship? Is that how both sides get the needed attrition without needing to actively cut?
There are a few useful options. Since libs killed superbox rollout, obviously politicians can also mandate it. That grossly reduces costs. Or leave them out. They've missed Christmas already. Neither side is going to give much unless they are starving. I honestly don't care if they are out for a year. Imo, they picked almost the worst possible path again. Kicking the can on structural problems with zero changes made to address the major issues.
I provided other options that someone with a brain could have chosen. I obviously have no idea what PP would have done. If he made the same stupid choice as the libs, I would called him a spineless wanker too.
Education!
Superboxes for all. For those that want home delivery, Forward your mail to a last mile company that will happily put it beside your door (with the appropriate cost attached for that level of service).
You see, the thing is, we didn't have to miss Christmas completely.
Awwwww... Golly gee shucks....
That's what you heard from CUPW. That doesn't mean that's what CUPW said to CP behind closed doors. I would be shocked if CUPW didn't threaten to ruin christmas as that's their biggest card. At that point, locking them out before the rush was less disruptive than potentially trapping all the presents in the system. From the outside, none of us know what actually happened.
If a couple both work at CP and make the $31 / hr the combined take home is likely around $100 K. In Toronto, if you could live for free, It would take a dozen years to save up to buy a house cash. In Guelph maybe eight years, way north four or five years. How do you balance that? The financial scenarios seem to be GTA based.
The $31 is reasonable in some areas but not enough in Toronto / GTA.
Sadly, the living wage arguments don't hold up to scrutiny (this applies to everyone not just CUPW). A living wage is chasing lightning. Comfort and financial security are dictated by percentiles, not dollars. If $31/hour was living wage today and everyone made that, it would no longer be a living wage as food would cost more, rent would be much higher, etc. As government employees keep getting moved up the percentile tree in negotiations, others keep getting pushed down (non government employees, pensioners, ODSP, etc). You have changed the person that is more secure but you have the same number of people that are insecure.
My doctor can't (or won't) tell me what an annual costs OHIP.
Because FD billing normally doesn't work that way. They get ~$300/patient per year with a cap. If they have a full roster (~1000 patients), they get $300K/yr gross and pay office staff and expenses out of that. If you don't see the doc, they get $300/year. If you see them ten times, they get $300/year. That's why doctors shop patients as much as patients shop doctors.
