    13&1/2% or 47%? Depends who you ask…

    It entirely depends on the job. I can get all the information and access I need through the laptop I use (company provided) and their VPN (running over my WifI network). When I go to work I take the same laptop in and plug in directly to their network. Before the pandemic I only had a desktop in...

    Hit and miss with regards to that. My company gave good cost of living increases this year. Others give nothing.

    They must have forgotten that last time he was released and that is why he re-offended.

    Acclaimed ex-CBC journalist dies after latest random assault on Toronto streets

    Why bother arresting him? He will be released on bail and 4 years from now the outcome of this case will be listed as unknown.

    I think this is the crux of the issue. Working from home requires the employee to be trustworthy. I would not call any government employee trustworthy. They don't get 8 hours of work from them in the office even when they attend for 8 hours.

    My job was one which transitioned well (after they built up the infrastructure properly) to working from home. They returned to a hyrbrid model last summer (2 days per week). We are moving down to 1 day per week next month. It's a win win since having 4 days at home frees up office space which...

    Toronto police to delete missing persons' last name, gender

    Ron, the nurse must have been mistaken. Everybody knows black people don't commit crime. The only reason they get arrested is because of racial profiling and systematic racism.

    Anti-Brexit BBC Presenters REMOVED from the news

    Your article says " Brexit: Only three areas in Britain think leaving EU was a good idea, major poll shows" While you say "There are only THREE areas - out of like 632 or so - THREE that polled that leaving was a bad idea.

    CHINESE SPY BALLOON! RUN AND HIDE!

    I like both. The English version has the added benefit of me being able to understand the lyrics.

    Who cares if he attends? Go further than that -- ban him from attending.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    You are making assumptions about why people are booing or not booing. I don't see anything wrong with people booing someone for their political opinions. That does not make them facist dictators. Had OV actually done anything of note in yesterday's game I would have booed because of his ties...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Please clarify the below quote which to me clearly says I cannot boo Ovekskin based upon his political opinions. I will boo him for whatever I choose.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    I can boo or cheer a player for whatever I choose. You can't tell me who I can or cannot boo or the reasons I can or cannot boo him. Period. Not sure what is not clear.

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    At a hockey game one voices ones freedom of expression with boos and cheers. They do not poll the crowed for their thoughts after each play. As a fan I choose to express my disapproval how I see fit. I traditionally boo the 4 people who do their jobs very poorly and keep getting re-hired for...
