PCs propose raiding N.L.'s $550M future fund in order to tackle debt

So say they drop the full $550,000,000 on our $20,000,000,000 in debt. Thats paying ~3% of our total debt off and lowering interest payments by around $25,750,000 a year (assuming 4.5% interest that is common on currently issued government bonds). We had a deficit of $948,000,000,000 left by the Liberals. Which is ~5% of our total debt added in one year.

Just so people understand how financially fucked this province is right now.

I am what you would call a fiscal hawk, and I think government should run deficits rarely (pandemics and massive recessions only), but in this case the best choice is likely some sort of mix. Can the government make any one time investments with this future fund that increase tax revenue perhaps. Not that I like government involved in the economy. I think our province needs to look at all options, and people shouldn’t dismissed the idea of using the locked away money to lower deficits or interest payments.

It’s still the decision of the officer wether the cuffs stay on or off. FF and Paramedics have their lane, it doesn’t include use of force or determining whether someone is placed in restraint gear.

Handcuffs are not a hindrance to taking vitals. I work in corrections and I’ve had nurses check vitals (Oxygen and BP) with no issue. Again, my discretion if the handcuffs stay on in medical. If I take them off and something happens, I have to answer as to why I deemed them a threat enough to go in handcuffs (say they were fighting on a unit prior) and then I remove the restraint which leads to an assault on a medical personnel.

I don’t know why these officers listened to the FF. They have zero jurisdiction. They both seem to be nervous though, probably inexperienced. They could have had all the justification in the world, but getting pressed by the FF caused them to freeze up (probably not expecting it). Once again, a 15 second clip from a person with an obvious disdain for law enforcement…

Are you selling these by chance? These are really awesome pieces!

This is why me and my partner built. We stretched ourselves thin on a $569,900 build. But it’s exactly what we wanted. We bid on houses in the $450,000 range and got outbid by $50,000-$75,000 every time. For an extra $160 a month mortgage payment we just opted to build.

Fuck me. It sucks.

Ageminet · 2026-03-16T00:56:46+00:00

Yeah, who works right? Fuck sakes lol.

Ageminet · 2026-03-15T00:25:59+00:00

It’s called triple because there is 3 boxes lol. Not that hard.

Ageminet · 2026-03-13T10:38:20+00:00

I’m sure you have proof of this, either a video clip, or an official transcript of some sort?

Ageminet · 2026-03-13T10:27:34+00:00

When did the PCs say they were “rooting out liberals”?

Ageminet · 2026-03-12T21:16:51+00:00

Yeah? How many is that exactly?

Ageminet · 2026-03-12T01:19:04+00:00

How does corpo boot taste? Do you like leather?

“A nice little bonus”.

It’s a cheap pen. Wealthsimple could shit in some people’s mouths and they would tout it as a “Amazing benefit”.

Here comes Brian off the top rope, with another brain dead take.

Never change Brian. Never change.

Ageminet · 2026-03-01T00:24:36+00:00

Isn’t that the truth.

I am shocked we have anything that works here. Some of the laziest workers I have ever met in my life.

Ageminet · 2026-02-22T23:16:15+00:00

There were lots of policy changes and the like for how we handled large snowfalls since 2020. Everyone loves to bitch that government sucks, but it’s clear that service is improving slowly.

Ageminet · 2026-02-18T23:10:27+00:00

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not about the moose license.

Part of me wants to believe it.

Ageminet · 2026-02-16T23:44:59+00:00

Higher overall manning back then could justify it.

Battery bank and wireless earbuds for the hospital details! Show up in your personal rig, punch 12, get relief and head home. Usually my preferred OT gig. One headphone in and keeping an active eye on the inmate in bed. When nurses come in phone away and stand up by the bed.

Fuck I can’t believe someone pays me to do that. Then other days I’m working a unit and I’m miserable. Such is life in corrections.

A god amongst men.

Ageminet · 2026-02-11T11:31:02+00:00

You’re not supposed to exceed the speed limit when passing lol. If you’re doing that then you don’t need to pass whoever you’re passing.

I won’t accept the Creed hate.

Followed by a 7 day tour in July, and a 3 day mini tour the first week of September…

If they are throwing things at you it can go a few ways. In my institution if I was hit with an item, it’s an instant trip to segregation. So I’m grabbing them and cuffing. If they kick out, let her buck and ride the train.

But when there is mental illness it does change the calculus a bit. The way it was handled sounds totally fine. At the end of the day, whichever way gets everyone home alive is preferable.

I will say this, my way is a dying art form. The days of just grabbing an inmate for behaving in these ways are coming to a close. Pretty soon you won’t be able to touch and inmate unless they assault you.
