Such a farce.No matter how contentious the strike action and the eventual outcome you can be guaranteed that the BCNU and all of the other provincial public sector unions will instruct their thousands and thousands of union members to vote NDP in the next election.Hypocrites. Go cry a river BCNU and let your river fill the ocean of deficit and debt your NDP masters have created.Thank you BCNU, for your contribution to increased taxes.
What a financial relief for Eby.Now he can return his focus to bloat the public service even more bloated than its bloated self right now and plunge the provincial deficit and debt even further into the deep abyss.
“Volunteerism and community engagement.”Yep, if all of us followed that credo so many problems that plague society would certainly improve. But hey, it’s a lot easier to doom-scroll, watch sports, & point fingers while complaining in the comments section.
As you complain in the comment section, ha ha haWhile volunteering is benevolent and can enrich society morally and culturally, you will never volunteer your way to utopia, because too many people seek to take advantage of other’s generosity and exploit it. I would wager there is more good will, social safety and outreach in this country today, than at any other time in its history. Is it helping? Or is it just contributing to a culture of sloth and entitlement? I think you should be careful how you invest your time and energy, make sure you’re channeling it into ventures that have fruitful outcomes. Some people give until they have nothing left, while others take as much as they can. I donate my time and money to causes I believe are worthy and there is such a thing as a lost cause.
Everyone blames the varroa mite for the decline in honey bees, but you don’t hear anything about how air pollution and pesticides stress bees, ultimately making them much more susceptible to varroa mites.So many things we think plague animal populations, are often a bi product of stress, especially in mass industrial farms, where animals are kept in terrible unnatural conditions, densely crammed together.I always liked the idea of green roofs, the amount of space on top of the mall, could make a nice size park.
Wow-6437 KM in 70 short days.It must be nice to be young and strong to be capable of riding a bicycle through wind, rain, mountains and many other adverse conditions including traffic on BC's narrow two lane highways.On a recent highway trip through Mcbride my sister commented about when I was young and strong and road my bike on BC's narrow two lane roads without telling my mother where I was going.In my retirement I will simply engage with my keyboard and say what I want about what I perceive is right and what is wrong with the world today.I wish the best to this young group of adventurers and hope they life a long meaningful life and will be able to engage with their keyboards when they grow old.
Much like forest fires, cold snaps, earthquakes, power outages, etc a heat dome could occur once again. Best to learn from the past, be informed & be prepared. “What has the heat dome got to do with the weather now in 2026?” Although, not sure anyone can penetrate that logic.
A very successful businessman and devoted family man.A wonderful rags to riches story from a life of hard work.The businessman - accountant relationship between Fortier and Pateman reminds me of the same relationship between Jim Treliving and George Melville who combined to form the Boston Pizza empire.Always fascinating success stories about men who started off with nothing and built substantial businesses.RIP .
There were times in the past where unions have chosen to throw their weight behind certain parties. It's a poor policyAs far as raising taxes, how does one feel healthcare costs should be funded?The "for profit" US system is significantly more expensive per capita.Another point, there's a shortage of skilled health professionals. That fact drives costs in any "supply and demand" system. Do you want government to go full "commie" and force workers into a lower wage and/or force them to work?
