Sadly, Via Rail won’t get me to Brighton in time for my friend’s wedding.
Sadly, Via Rail won’t get me to Brighton in time for my friend’s wedding.
I’m flying out later this week. First big trip since the start of COVID, and the focus of the trip is the wedding of a dear friend.
Timing and price led us to Air Canada over Westjet this time, but it’s a crapshoot; a day later and we might have booked Westjet, in which case we’d be royally fucked right now.
I still support the mechanics on this one. Companies will ALWAYS bargain in bad faith, if they have the opportunity; and getting government arbitration has become the latest version of bad faith bargaining.
This strike may be truly illegal. It will definitely inconvenience a lot of people. It may, over time, lead to the downfall of Westjet (I have cheap headphones here from Canada 3000, Canadian, and a few others - it can happen!).
I don’t fucking care.
The mechanics didn’t cause this shitshow, they only chose when to act against the shitshow created by the billionaires. This is the fault of Alexis van Hoensbroech and his board of directors. If you miss a flight or a trip of a lifetime because of the strike, remember that: Ten executives at Westjet who EACH make more annually than a mechanic will see in his lifetime have decided not to let those mechanics keep up with inflation.
There is zero incentive for businesses to negotiate in goods faith…
There. That is ALL that needs be said.
Good.
Bring it on! Let them sue, let them lose, and let them be forced to pay damages to the students.
I fucking hope the students can raise the money to make this a big case that destroys the University’s leadership.
Yeah, same thought here. Even more revealing (damning?) Is the fact that it was written by ‘staff.’
I see this style more and more, and they always serm to be written by generic ‘staff.’
Thanks for the info. I’ll do some digging.
Edit: it’s very cool that you even asked!
If we’ve learned anything in Canada in the last 15 years, it’s that finding out about a culture before adopting it is kind of important.
Love this answer. :-)
Also, from the perspective of an outsider, your culture is far from dying. Here in Canada, we started down the long road of reconciling our history towards our Indigenous population a handful of years ago - and when we were in New Zealand, it felt like the country was a decade ahead of Canada. (which in turn is probably at least a decade ahead of the USA.)
There will be retrograde motion, and there will always be asshole xenophobic politicians; but it certainly felt like on the whole NZ was getting it more right than wrong.
I wish I had a Liberal MP to hold feet to the fire.
Alas, being in Alberta, I have a Poilievre-loving knee-jerk sycophant Conservative who is scared of his constituents. (Len Webber)
Since my vote matters NOT AT ALL (Thanks to the complete lack of promised electoral reform), I suspect I’ll be voting Green in the next election.
PfFt. Amateur level stuff!

And that’s not the limit, either.
Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.
Of course you can do what you want to do - leave it, strip and paint it, touch it up, turn it fuchsia…
But for me the real question on mucking with vs. carefully restoring (or leaving as is) comes down to whether I’d call it “vintage” or just plain “old.”
Of course we’re not. The only person taking them seriously is Poilievre, and that’s strictly as voters to be conned.
There are two groups on facebook under this name - one is basically silent, and the other is posting doctored videos and anti-Islam posts.
I’ve reported them, but reporting to FB is about as effective as complaining about the weather.
Believe me, if I find it again I will bookmark it, download it, and probably even print it. (Same as I did with Umberto Eco’s 14 Common Features of Fascism.) And I’ll let you know.
Specifically, it’s to save their children (who are absolutely all straight and cis-gendered) from any exposure to others; except to ostracize, harm, and eliminate those others.
Here in Alberta, “Take Back Alberta” is a group of fear-mongering hate-based transphobic assholes who organized the “Save The Children” and other protests, and now are pulling the strings in our government. The leader is a contemptible home-schooled evangelical minister.
A handful of years ago, I read an article which concluded that unrestrained capitalism will inevitably result in an entire industry sector being controlled by roughly three companies, working as a collusive oligopoly.
If you’re a plucky startup in any industry whatsoever, expect to get bought or buried as soon as you’re big enough to be noticed.
I used to see Fildebrandt daily as he illegally parked his Dodge Ram to drop his daughter off at the Calgary Classical Academy - a publicly funded charter school founded by Caylan Ford, who was booted (sorry, “encouraged to step down”) from the UCP for being too racist for them.
To avoid putting a brick through the window of his truck (or head) I changed my dog walking route.
They misspelled “utterly fucked over forncorporate profit.”
More garbage linkspam. Time to block this spammer.
A lying fascist.
