  • Perhaps until an agreement is reached, senior managers from Canada post should be slogging through the weather delivering mail that’s piled up so they can understand the workers’ position better, rather than sitting at a desk in a warm office thinking about money.

    Edit: by managers i mean c-suite that are totally useless without employees to do the real work.

    For the people whining about the strike, if they are as vital as you claim, then compensate them properly.


  • So I’m going to put it a different way that you absolutely won’t appreciate but is the truth.

    I’m a homeowner (single detached) that has a significant mortgage. Anything that happens to lower prices is going to negatively impact me so I don’t want change to bring property prices down now, but to have them go up as high as possible so I can sell down the road and make money.

    That’s what you’re dealing with. It’s not defeatism, it’s people actively voting against and impeding stuff that will go in the direction you seem to think people want. Many do not want change in that direction at all.

    Preparing for downvotes from those who don’t like cold hard truth.










  • If you’re not urgent you’re 100% at the end of the line. I’ve been at both ends, the front and the back. The front sucks way more. They bring you in fast if you have a potentially fatal condition. And it sucks.

    I know waiting sucks too but better than being close to kicking off. Public clinics around here (BC) are generally reasonable if you don’t have a family MD. Go in first thing in the morning to get on the list and they’ll call you back an hour or so before they can see you so you don’t need to wait in the lobby all day.
