announce closure 2 months ago and move to reduce shifts
announce closure 2 weeks ago and hope people didn’t replace a car or book a trip

Good job, guys. When/if the mine re-opens, this or any management, enjoy being on cash-only terms forever. That town is small enough that names will be circulated and their next companies will be on cash-only. We’ve seen how they conduct business.
2 and a child, if I read it correctly. Did you mis-read?
is a few grand I think.
$3400 one-way, booked 3 weeks in advance, as long as one parent suffers a public berth little better than a rack. A round-trip ticket can be under $8 thousand with careful planning. reservia.viarail.ca/en/booking
Porter air, YVR->YYZ->YVR 5 hours each way and a $1,500 itinerary for 2 adults and a child.
Yep, from the station at the 19 & 417 south of Vanier. Oh! They put up Tremblay station there, in a rare intermodal connection of the type we rarely see out here. (left Nepean 7 years ago so missed the train system they put up using the same failing tech that got that guy fired from Vancouver)
I want them to travel to Europe and Asia and then come back and suffer on via rail. It’s not just new dedicated tracks that are needed, it’s a complete restructure of the passenger experience!
FABULOUS idea. Have them ride transit too, and maybe ferries and ensure they take notes as they fly over, as long as it’s not a North American airline.
Um, but avoid Sweden. We had a bear of a time navigating the variable train system there at what we’re hearing is a very ‘cost-efficient’ time where passengers suffer for the experience.

I am looking forward to the day when we don’t worry that BCFC is another toxic public/private partnership despite nearly all of them before it being just as bad for everyone not a CEO.

Explain why they’re not supporting climate change prevention measures with every fibre of their being; instead, they seem to overwhelmingly vote to ignore the problem.

Canada has a history that includes the longer sniper shot on a moving target and also tactics that involve shelling our own position and staggering down to Washingston DC for some Light Remodeling. Our forests are so thick that a group of people were lost for a week less than 10 minutes’ drive outside of town.
I’m okay not cleaving to the US immediately. They won’t see us, they won’t find us, until they’re upon us and the artillery lights up .
We need to make our cities and towns more family friendly. This is called the “missing middle” in housing, and it’s why in north america all we see are either large condo towers or single family homes, which also drives our urban sprawl problems....
Wow, do slimeball realtors play fast and loose with those regulations. I’ve seen “window to the living room” as the safety feature in a bedroom. Many of them here, too, brazenly show an 8x8 windowless space as a ‘bedroom’; and with the demand, they can afford a few people questioning that.
The cost of healthcare - acute and preventative - was a major factor in my decision to cut short my stay there after 5 years and abandon my green card options. I was working in I-T for a great company with what I was told by a work-chum was a great medical plan; so I was up there for earnings among the 99%. Top-ten, maybe top-5%.
Fuck no. I can’t hinge my future on ensuring I don’t get taken to the wrong hospital by an ambulance.
A Senate bill that would require Canadians to verify their age online before accessing porn is moving through the House of Commons without the support of the Liberal government.
A Canadian man with a criminal record in his home country has been killed in a shooting at a mall in the Caribbean coast resort of Cancun, Mexican authorities said Wednesday.
I haven’t seen a resort so big - even in the ZH - that it could hold an actual mall, but a mini mall for sure.
And if you’re near La Isla, it’s about the same thing.
One thing is for sure: given the stats over the last decade, if I ever got into some serious gangland drug-dealing, I’m not going to vacation in Cancun! Until then, though, it’s still safer than alternatives.
The problem that the the Liberal Party doesn’t want it because it would mean no more Liberal majorities. No Conservative ones, either.
Ranked-choice only gives majorities. One of the problems with it is that it kills what gave us almost everything we’re happy about as Canadians: minority governments need buy-in at all stages and have to work together with party of similar views, and that’s how we got healthcare and peacekeeping and now dental care.
Psst. When you’re done “both sides” -ing the issue, I bet you can find one of the two that is better than the other and cares more about Canadian happiness.
Vote for them. Then it’s a win for them (election)and a win for us (least-worse party in power). If everyone did that, there’d be no blue left.
You see how your both-sides assertion isn’t even relevant?
I expected to read in the article where the people, those who want to preserve the evidence past where the experts think it’s relevant, are going to pay for proper, secure storage.
One month after finance ministers met to discuss the Alberta government's intent to pull out of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) public opinion polling by the Angus Reid Institute suggests there's little desire among Albertans or the rest of Canada to see Alberta leave the plan.
My bro is in a similar state, but not for conspiracy reasons.
I’m finding it challenging watching for a glimmer of reason or otherwise waiting for inevitable calamity. I figure as long as he’s cursing me out, he’s still good.
