I haven't read CP's policies, SWPs or job descriptions so I cant dispute anything with regard to those issues. That said, it's only your claim that it came from posties. That doesn't mean that it came from posties
That is true, and if you don't want to believe me, that is entirely up to you. We all know already that your ignorance is self imposed, so why change now.
I think it's wonderful that the nervous hospitals allow the patients to use their computers of an evening.
If you gave me some indication that your head was on the outside of your rectum, I might be willing to put some stock in your opinions. Until such time I will wait to see the policies or wait for somebody credible to review them before coming to a conclusion.

Your Ward News, produced as a community flyer by the New Constitution Party of Canada"
What is a community flyer if not a flyer?
STFU Gerry. First you call God an idiot, and now a flyer is not a flyer.
Those things flying around are the bats in your belfry.
ridiculousTruth hurts..

An Ottawa lawyer has filed a complaint with the Law Society of Upper Canada against a Toronto lawyer for advertising in a publication that has been criticized for being overtly racist, misogynistic and homophobic.
Ottawa human rights lawyer Richard Warman submitted the complaint against David Faed after he allegedly placed repeated advertisements in Your Ward News, a Toronto-based newsletter that publishes content described as anti-Semitic.
Warman filed the complaint in March, seeking an investigation.
Canada Post stopped circulating the newsletter this summer following an order by Public Services and Procurement Minister Judy Foote.
The Toronto Police Service is also conducting an investigation into the newsletter concerning hate propaganda offences.
Warman says he did not believe it when he was first told a lawyer was advertising in Your Ward News.
“My main impression was that hopefully the member wasn’t aware of the type of publication he was advertising in,” he says.
“But when I spoke with Mr. Faed directly, it became clear that wasn’t in fact the case.
Warman says Faed continued to advertise in the publication after Warman contacted him to voice his concerns in 2015.
Warman then filed his complaint after he says it became apparent Faed had no intention of pulling his ads from the publication.
In a statement to Law Times, Faed said, “This is libellous trash falsely attributed to me. I warn you to reconsider this.”
Warman’s complaint lists a number of sections in the law society’s Rules of Professional Conduct, which he says Faed’s advertisements have broken.
One is s. 2.1-1, which requires that lawyers have a duty to carry out their responsibilities “honourably and with integrity.”
Section 6.3.1-1 of the rules requires lawyers have a “special responsibility to respect the requirements of human rights laws” and to “honour the obligation not to discriminate.”
Warman says financially supporting a publication such as Your Ward News through advertising is a breach of those rules and constitutes unprofessional conduct.
“It’s incumbent on every member of the profession to uphold the equality of all human beings — not just from a human rights perspective but also from a professional practice perspective as well,” Warman says
Warman adds that the ads break law society rules on advertising, marketing and sexual harassment.
Speaking generally, LSUC Bencher Malcolm Mercer says the law society’s rules require that any advertisements lawyers use have to meet certain standards of professionalism.
“It’s important that the public, society generally, continues to have confidence in the administration of justice and for that purpose has confidence in the legal profession,” he says.
“And so if advertising or marketing brought the administration of justice into disrepute, that would be corrosive of the system generally.”
Mercer could not speak about the specifics of the complaint, as benchers can be called to serve as adjudicators in discipline cases.
Faed’s ad cites his website and phone number, but it does not identify his name.
A disclaimer at the bottom of the ad distances Faed from the New Constitution Party of Canada — the neo-Nazi political party of James Sears, the newsletter’s editor.
The disclaimer says, “INDEPENDENT. I AM NOT INVOLVED WITH THE NEW CONSTITUTION PARTY OF CANADA.”
Warman says this disclaimer suggests that Faed was aware of the paper’s “repeated publication of discriminatory material” before he contacted him.
Based in eastern Toronto, the controversial free newsletter claimed it had a circulation of 300,000 before Canada Post stopped delivering it.
Warman says the publication openly advocates Nazism and engages in Holocaust denial.
Complaint launched over ad in newsletter

You're such a coward. Still waiting for you to get some balls and explain how turbines saved Ontario you dickless wonder.
I'm not sure that they ever did here ... in Montreal (Lachine), they did. I will look it up
I don't think so. Ontario has a law against building stuff now. Factories are bad. Maybe we did this in the dim time, when we thought that we were happy. That was back when former, evil governments tricked us into thinking that we were enjoying ourselves, and we thought we were eating well, and had enough money to live a satisfying life. Before carbon taxes, GSTs, HSTs, environmental taxes and all the other good things that our betters have given us.
Life is good now. We are so happy...so happy to comply...
I didn't say that those turbines were made in IN Ontario, just that they made Ontario. Early electrification was the key to industrialization of the region, a century ago (that, and a world war or two)
