Salary. Benefits are essentially the same however. I know both have pensions but never paid into either to say what was better or not.

Sadly the Liberals have also hired 30% more Liberal supporters. Don't bite the hand that feeds you raises.
For us paying into OMERS in my group, we put in approx 7% on the first 70k (or so), and anything above that is 14.9% of our salary that goes directly to OMERS.
Company matches 1:1.
Don't be silly all the pigs will still feed you once elected. One of them just pretends while trying to get elected that they will be responsible.

Omers and teachers unions have a pretty steep pay in while your working , but you get a very nice deal on the backend . I’d take that deal anytime over anything offered in the private sector . Pain now for nice retirement.

Inflation comments. I haven't analysed the article and the inflation rate isn't one size fits all.
The bothersome thing is that wages aren't going up at the same rate. That can't continue forever.
If you're overweight and go on a calorie counting diet you eat less than you burn off.
You eventually become healthier but if you continue to burn off more than you take in you become emaciated. Keep it up and you die.
The same goes for people that have to tighten their belts. Who do we cull?

Debunking Right-Wing Myths About Inflation
Inflation is more than simply an increase in prices: it’s a conflict over the distribution of income and wealth.

Government employees getting raises over the 2% rate of inflation the government is targeting drives inflation higher. The whole cesspool is almost unsolvably broken. Government (at all levels) has gone so far down the say one thing and do the opposite path that they don't even have a direction anymore. Just aimless wandering and throwing money about.Inflation comments. I haven't analysed the article and the inflation rate isn't one size fits all.

I didn't see myths debunked in that article. Its an Opinion article, which is what journalists call a socialist's rant.Inflation comments. I haven't analysed the article and the inflation rate isn't one size fits all.

While it's true that businesses can profit during inflation, it's untrue to suggest business causes inflation. Govts are responsible for the supply of money, the Feds dumped 1/2 a trillion into the economy... yoo much money chasing too few goods.
Is that substantially different from assisted housing? A rich businessman underpays his employees so they have to get tax payer assisted housing. That is basically assisting the rich.
Want to hammer inflation?
Stop buying stuff. Live like a pauper and you won't become one.
IMO inflation is largely driven by investors needing a bigger ROI every quarter. Are the people that are making massive profits going to be happy rolling back the expectations?
"But I like Starbucks coffee and tee shirts with cute little logos on them."
If prices keep going up, and people keep on buying…what incentive is there to lower prices?
I’ve yet to see too many signals of a recession/depression or slow down in activity outside of house sales.
Vendor: "I raised my prices and people keep buying my stuff. I must have been undercharging."

I think that narrative was a scare tactic by whomever wanted to misdirect the public. Or they were just wrong.
Plus people have been pent up waiting for the Pamdemic to end and now things are back to normal time to get on with things, not more waiting.

Profitteering is more of effect or result of inflation not a driver. If govts didn't dump hundreds of billions of cash into the economy, that cash wouldn't be increasing demand faster than supply. If govts didn't pile huge taxes base goods (like the carbon tax)producers wouldn't have to jack prices to cover their increased costs.
Also know that profiteering doesn't go on for ever in a free market... profit opportunity attracts new competitors which eventually bring prices down.
Imagine having to show up for work:

That whole argument and use of taxpayer dollars is appalling. A roving robot tells you very little about how spaces are used. If it checks the lunch room at lunch or right after the start of the work day, it will get an incredibly different picture of utilization. If they actually cared about utilization, they would count movement between spaces to see how many person-hours were spent in each space.
F them. Public sector unions are a cancer. They need to be cut out. Unions made sense when employers were treating staff as disposable. Now they are just obstructionist and another layer of wasted overhead that increase costs while reducing productivity.
