Kid showed up on the weekend to cut my lawn... was gonna do it myslef but the little shit did it all in 1/2 an hour. I usually do the back one day, the front the nexr and take longer for each. He did it still wet and still did such a good quick job I gave him $30. Line up a few of those and that's more than his Dad makes at the mill. Meanwhile the grocery hires anyone who can walk OR chew gum... that's how desperate. And the tree planters are showing up this last week. But this retail stall out is happening at the worst time for summer jobs. Hopefully if local tourism booms, there may be some. Same guys here would be squawking if the govt actually hired a bunch of summer students and 'wasted' their precious tax dollars.

What absolute pr1ck is happy to see Biden get sick? Do us all a favour and if you find one, remove him from the gene pool. Yet another common English word censored from the sensitive eyes of those pussies who demand free speech to spout their racist and fascist gibberish.

and you are the dimwit that thinks repeated right wing rumours are facts.

The 50km range of current PHEVs is adequate. You worry about range, you're not using it for work and errands. And BEVs are hitting 500km ranges these days. And look at the price of ICE vehicles - they didn't reduce EV prices, they raised ICE prices a lot. Telsas the only EV volume builder and they took the moves by others to hike prices several times now. Another govt plan that turned into a corporate gougefest.

A union being realistic is accepting a small increase in wages, 0 cuts in staff or benefits. As this postal situation has dragged on so damn long look at inflation since the last contract and figure out what a reasonable increase in salaru/benefits is. Sure as hell isn't zero or 3%..... food and rent have skyrocketed, meat has doubled since the last contract was settled. Only a govt order and restructuring will settle it and there will be much labour fallout even with that.

THe usual whines about China never mention that China is decarbonizing at a far faster rate then the USA. Specially now that Orange Oaf is backtracking on every environmental advance ever made and doing his best to hinder anyone who doesn't do likewise.

The union is in an impossible position, they have to protect their members' wages, benefits and working conditions but the employers on shaky legs. They're gonna need to accept big job losses to protect who's left. The Post Office, and other Crown Corporations are not there to turn a profit, govt is not a business no matter how hard righties try to convince you otherwise They're there to provide a service at the most cost effective way. Running a good service at break even is the goal.

Oh FFS it wasn't ME who was being critical of unhoused having dogs, it was YOU.

Yeah just look at who's depraved. A man who can't get knocked up and would fight every way to not have to pay child support and deny single Mom's govt assistance.

We already do go to the Post Office to get our mail here in toe boonies. If there's an Amazon pkg, there's a card in your mailbox and you get in line to get it. If it's a huge delivery, it goes to a store that's arranged to be a Purolator drop off. They're understaffed and open and closed on a whim, not a good permanent alternative. The suggestions I listed would ease the line-ups so clerks didn't need to measure, weigh and ;look up cost to send a parcel, rid the line of people buying stamps, commemerative coins, envelopes and doohickeys. I also think 3 days a week is a good start, later go to Monday & Thursdays for door to door delivery. Cut the staff by re-assignments, buyouts and minimize layoffs. Hire some Amazon/Fed Ex managers to teach them parcel handling tips. And no mor of this raising stamps by pennies or nickel every year. $2.00 Jan 1

Got it - there ain't no "baby". A dead handmaid and the rights of survivors eliminated - cuz you don't like it, fascist.

Well given another 5 month extension they still can't settle dick. It's time for legislatation that restructures them entirely and a new contract imposed. Raise stamps to $2.00 Home deliver to Mon-Weds-Fridays Move the unwanted carriers into parcel sorting or find a new job Convert in city deliveries to BEVs, even low speed ones like British milk carts. Keep rural office open, sell stamps, coins, etc there by vending machines only, automate self serve parcel sending (weight, size scan, pay by debit/credit)

Duhhh1!! You're looking right at it. stupid! Read the title and engage those brain cells if you have more than three left......

Sucking up to the racists on the forum again or what?

Canucks fans are rolling our eyes in sympathy for Leafs fans......

You're arguing with a guy that supports tariffs which drive up prices and reduce competition and consumer choice with not a single benefit to anyone. As you pointed out, they were given a quota and haven't even used it. MOF they used a loophole for shredded cheese to dominate the pizza supply here and pretend that 'doesn't count'. Take allok at the similar Egg Marketing Boards, where here in the boonies where we pay 'Alaska" prices, they never passed $6 Cdn a dozen. Oooo hurst us just s much.... NOT Make a better product and maybe if we ever stop going out of our way not to buy American again, you may have a valid gripe. Instead of believing every word that lying sack of shit President pulls out of his arse as truth.

Democrats look to take a trillion dollars from pasty skins and give it to the dark skins Next thing they'll want is for you to let your daughter marry one. The horror, the outrage of it all!

Oh FFS, and I soppose you're going to say next that podcasts are a more credible news source....

Where the hell do you live? PBS Seattle was our prime source of British comedies and nature shows in the late 1960's & 70s. Canada does not have thousands of corporations seeking tax writeoffs to fund it, nor spend 22 minutes each hour begging with telethons...
