I think they are looking at their own, individual "economy". Did you look into the source of that article, the original author that the munknee writer was working from ? Sounds like a real fun guy.

It might be a little overzealous to think that these people are looking past their own bottom line. The pandemic has become just another Boxing Day sale to them.

I used to have a lot more respect for Rex Murphy than I do lately. I see him stooping to sensationalism and "selective coverage" since he signed on with the National Post. Not a mention by him of the restrictions and precautions being imposed on the conference attendees bu the organizers of...

I wasn't trying to insult, just suggesting a possible intent on the mechanic's part. I get what you're saying, sometimes it's worth a twenty not to have to go to the bother yourself. I went through something similar recently, basically being lied to by a the front end guy to cover up shoddy...

It's not socialism, it's called predatory capitalism. The inevitable result of a totally unrestrained free market.

Entry into what, poverty ? Is it unreasonable to think that a job and "making a living" should be somewhat similar ? The point is that cost of living has risen steadily for decades while wages have remained stagnant in adjusted dollars. Workers are simply responding by refusing to work in...

The labour shortage in the service sector has been around a lot longer than the pandemic.

That's an extreme that we are not likely to come anywhere close to in Canada, despite the need of some people to convince us otherwise. What is more likely is that without some course correction the current distribution of wealth which sees the chosen few enjoying a life of excess while the...

We could argue about that all day, but the simple facts is that cost of living has outpaced wages at the lower end of the scale. It's just numbers, most people simply cannot afford to work for minimum wage any more. Employers who aren't keeping pace by raising wages appropriately, unlike the...

Or perhaps he was thinking "Here's a guy who can't do a five minute light bulb change" so decided to take him for a ride. I'd get busy on local social media and make sure others don't fall for it.

Nope. Resource extraction is a huge polluter in BC. Google "resource extraction pollution in BC" and read about our mines and pulp mills and oil industry.

You talk like there aren't any shit jobs with shit wages out there run by people who could afford to pay more. Why do you thing there's a labour shortage on in low paying jobs ? People have figured out there are better choices available. The ones who are crying that they can't find anyone to...

It's going to interesting to see what they come up with. Killing him off at the end of the latest movie does give them sort of a blank cheque, but there's not much disputing that the whole franchise has been a bastion of masculinity so far.

More clanging. That's what I've been saying, we have a basically good system, it just needs some fine tuning. The environment is suffering in part because the corporate sector is not being held to account in cleaning up after themselves. Employment in our industrial sector has suffered...

I'm surprised Charlize Theron didn't make the list. She did okay in a few tough-girl roles.

I can't talk about this. It's just too soon. :cry:

I did. "Slight to moderate liberal bias, factually accurate but employs loaded words." This is pretty middle-of-the-road with what's out there today, and a slight bias is easy to filter out when you have advance notice of which direction they're leaning. Looking for some sort of rating comes...

What sources did you use to confirm True North's reliability ? The only one I found was True North itself.

The article repeats what we already expected, that the mutations of the virus are presenting a challenge in themselves and it is already showing up in the more vulnerable members of our own population. We saw this coming with what happened in Israel, one of the first countries in the world to...

"Standards" are subjective in this day and age. If you're suggesting that I wouldn't put much faith in what True North publishes you are partially correct. They have a widespread reputation for extreme bias and questionable factual content, so I would think it likely that they are cherry...
