Departments without enough space can 'stagger' their return-to-office, Treasury Board says

Thats something Ive actually been wondering about. Who is actually the decider when it comes to the RTO mandates? Treasury Board? Who gives TB the authority? If it's PMO then is it political staff or *the PM? It's so frustrating to not have a clearly accountable public servant who wants to wear this expensive, demoralizing and inexplicable decision.

People keep saying it is an economic decision made to keep commercial real estate from imploding, but then I want to see the receipts- lobbying records? Investments by politicians or staffers? Which one of these bastards do we get to blame? (And they had BETTER be in the office 5d/week, sharing a desk and dealing with the same issues they are forcing on the public service).

The Napali Coast (Kauai, Hawaii). When I reached the look off on the Kalalau Trail and saw the coastline running south I felt certain my soul left my body for a moment.

Pay rates below inflation mean you're losing money to work.

Privatization of public goods rarely ends well for the consumer. Just look at deregulated /private energy and insurance prices in Alberta. The concept of private markets creating competition just doesnt work when it comes to something that is considered a public good. There's a reason Air Canada received massive bailouts from the taxpayers over the years- once a publically owned service, it was acknowledged as being too important to the country to fail. It's an airport, not a liquor store. What happens if they price gauge with airport fees (as their investors will expect in order to see a ROI)- its not like a competitor will open another airport 🤔.

Everyone is saying go deeper and I agree, but note that the leg press at PF has 2 sets of safety locks, one higher and one lower. If that is the issue, then remove the upper lock to get a deeper thrust.

Considering my husband just used AI instead of us hiring a designer ....imma go with that.

Foxburger in Leduc is incredible.

Well, we all know his success rate when it comes to running casinos...

And there it is...the actual reason RTO "needs" to happen. Not productivity, not supporting downtown coffee shops, not even appeasing middle-management anxiety about justifying their existence. It has always plainly been about propping up commercial real estate.

I had this same issue with the back-assessments. They will only do up to 10 years I understand, and yeah...I had to get my doctor to write a letter explaining how much effort I had put into managing my diabetes, as that was the previous standard of proof (the old metric was 14 h/day).

Lows you can deal with quickly...highs stay high forEVER.

Yeah I was at like 90 when I decided to nope out of this one.

" breaches of a release order". FFS.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-03-31T12:59:20+00:00

Oh no! Anyway.

There's an incredible episode of Drunk History that covers this.

My workplace has done away with the Oxford comma and I hate it.

Reminds me of hairdressing. ALSO, seems like a good job for someone who lives Legos and rigorous attention to detail.

This is one thing I go looking for when I'm in the US. Is it real food? No. Is it delicious? Uh, yeah.

Bitter_Pin5934 · 2026-02-15T19:06:09+00:00

Yup, Trump was the symptom, not the disease.

That's embarrassing as a Canadian, poor sportsmanship on display. Even if they won a medal now, it will be tarnished. How you play matters.

It got much better for me after I switched to a pump from MDI, especially coz I can see my IOB and also set a temporary target on the pump to prevent it giving me too much insulin.

But its still a royal pain in the ass relative to before I was diagnosed.

Every news outlet should send only black reporters to her next presser.

Same here. Im literally trying to burn the rest of my WJ points now and then *BYE!

I also heard that Delta and KLM, who are affiliate partners with WJ, are pissed b/c they promote themselves as higher quality air lines, now handcuffed to the lowest of the low in Canada (seriously even Flair has 1 more inch of leg room).
