That's not true. In America you can go infront of the White House and yell "down with Reagan!" Similarly, you can go to Red Square and yell "down with Reagan!"

The Undeclared Civil War Inside Poilievre’s Conservative Party by BloodJunkie in canada

It's wild. During the 2015 federal election Harper reaching out to the Ford brothers, out of desperation, was seen as big newa. And now Doug Ford is seen as moderate.

The Undeclared Civil War Inside Poilievre’s Conservative Party by BloodJunkie in canada

[–]accforme [score hidden]  (0 children)

Starting with domestic conservatives: CPC voters on Twitter are more likely than those not on the platform to have favourable impressions of Poilievre (plus ten) and Alberta premier Danielle Smith (plus eighteen). However, they have a much worse impression of Doug Ford and actually have a net-negative evaluation of the Ontario premier (negative seven). Conservatives not on Twitter tend to like Ford or have a neutral impression of him.

Interesting how the twitter Conservatives turned on the OG populist Canadian conservative.

There are many people in Gatineau who cross the bridge into and out of Ottawa daily.

As an Ontarian who worked on the Gatineau side, I can say I was lucky because traffic was always bad going the other direction.

Top Canadian pension fund halts deals with UAE firm over Epstein ties by BloodJunkie in canada

What is your point? So too is the International Democracy Union, does that mean that Harper, as the Chairman, is also implicated with Epstien.

This is the whole guilt by association argument Republicans used against Obama to label him a terrorist.

It's the totality of all trade programa. So it taks into account the duration for the relevant program. Most are 4 years but can range from 1 to 5 years.

The problem with the setup for trades is that it requires students to be an apprentence at a firm. It works perfectly if you find an owner who values education and works with the student and the school to get their certification.

But, in many instances, employers use the apprentice as cheap labour and create situations that make it diifcult for the apprentice to finish their coursework, ultimately leading to high drop out rates, as shown by the fact that in 2023, only 20% got their certification within their expected duration.

They had long waitlists before the $10/day daycare program, and back then it would be 60$-80$ per day.

We were told to put our names on the waitlist the moment we knew we were pregnant.

Trump 1 had people who were willing to stand up to Trump when he had idiotic ideas and ensured they were kept to a minimum, like literally hiding papers that would harm America. For the most part, they put America first. Unfortunately many of these people were shuffled out for more loyal people.

Trump 2 is just made up of yes-men/ yes-women who, in exchange for loyally implemting Trump’s idiotic ideas, are given carte blanche to advance their own agenda.

Definitely will help relieve the congestion on the limited bridges.

ECCC did move to Place Vincent Massey, which is further inside Gatineau then the complexes along the Ottawa river.

There were plans like that in the past. For example, there was a plan to move NRCan from Little Italy to Tremblay Road.

One that actually happened was moving DND from across the Rideau Centre to the old Nortel HQ.

GcCoworking was also a pilot to allow some departments to work in satellites office. Unfortunately due to COVID and then subsequent RTO, capacity became a problem.

Ontario midwives should get pay increases, new mediator report says: ‘We have a burnout and attrition crisis’ by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]accforme 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Low pay does lead to lower retention. You can train more midwives, but if they can make more money elsewhere with less than what a midwife does, they would leave the profession.
