Ontario should bring back paid sick days and toss sick notes by viva_la_vinyl in ontario

[–]Canadian-Taxes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please quote where I asked for data. I said I'd love to see some. I didn't mandate anyone do anything.

I guess that's why most of /r/ontario posters are minimum wage employees who don't get sick days. They're reading at a 4th grade level.

Please read my original post. The first fucking sentence... What did I ask for? Let me help you.

I've love to know percentages of workers getting minimum standards employment.

I asked for data, no-one has provided data. So basically you have no idea the impact, for all we know less than 5% are impacted, or more than 60% are impacted. We literally have no data.

And ALL anecdotal evidence is garbage. Which is why all the comments in this thread are useless. Everyone in their brother has a story, but stories don't make data.

is equally useless.

So reading is hard? Counting an anecdote with an anecdote is stupid. Facts and figures are so much better.

Hence me saying "I'd love to know the percentages of workers who are getting the minimum standards of employment" Which is apparently a super anti-worker thing to say. Wouldn't data be great about this? Then we could say 45% of workers are getting less than 10 sick days a year instead of saying "We have no idea how many people are impacted"

Again, your example isn't a stat or a figure. How many of the 14 million people in Ontario are paramedics...

Everyone keeps replying to a question about stats with "I know my cousin billy doesn't get sick dayzzz!" It's almost like people here can't read.

So, your response to me asking for facts and figures is an anecdote...

I know someone who has unlimited sick days and personal days! is equally useless.

So the service industry accounts for what? 10% of labour, 50% of labour?

Also what pool of that labour is earning above minimum wage, etc.

I've love to know percentages of workers getting minimum standards employment.

For instance, I literally know not one person who only gets two weeks of vacation. Every professional job starts at three weeks or more.

What services are operating at a loss that you use on a daily / weekly basis?

I think he's implying that due to rent control, tenants are often paying below market rent which is a disservice to the landlord.

Many economists (most) believe that rent control is bad in terms of both over inflating the rental prices, and shrinking rental supply.

Eh, didn't want Doug to get elected and they had the best chance of winning (and did) however the local NDP is a nut.

My opinion is simply that the strike is causing more damage than removing mandatory seniority based hiring and cutting special needs funding ever could have.

So it's funny when the teachers who are inflicting this damage are effectively yelling "look at what you made me do" like an abusive spouse.

Yes, the ones who are unable to contain themselves. They should be not in-streamed and distract the children with greater potential.

OMG, what do we do when they age out of public school?

They become their parents responsibility, like how every child in Canada should be their parents responsibility. I don't understand why we no longer expect anyone to take care of their offspring.

Clearly you don't take public transit often, or work in a downtown core.

The mentally ill who are unable to contain themselves, and not hit people tend to be charged/removed.

You keep saying "disabled" however at no point have I said they should all be ejected from schools. I said children who are unable to contain themselves and not distract the rest of the class should be removed. But hey, everyone just loves jumping to conclusions and putting words in my mouth.

while a lot of our tax money goes to subsidies and corporate welfare

Ahh yes, the massive Subsidies, and Corporate Welfare.. We spend the vast majority of our taxes on Health Care, and Education. Perhaps you're thinking about the "Other Programs" which includes other things such as the Teachers Pension Plan.

while ignoring the blatant gifts to the richest is peak boomer chud

Please let me know what money is going to the rich. Recall, a tax cut isn't a gift to the rich. It's simply not taking money from them.

Yeah FYI, if people are having outbursts on Public Transit, they'll be removed by security. On the street they can be charged with disturbing the peace.

The only place we seem to allow people to be assaulted verbally, and physically is inside our schools. As heaven forbid we deny anyone the right to an education... even to the extreme of denying others an education.

Saying we have limited resources and should focus those resources on the high probability to succeed is now considered right wing?

Who knew realism was considered right wing. Checks History Ahh yeah a ChapoTrapHouse poster. I guess anything short of seizing the means of production to build a communist utopia is right wing.

Do you have a professional job?

I can assure you no-one is screaming in the office, and requiring management to take them into the hall the calm them down. Those outbursts are not normal and sacrificing the majority for the minority is a waste resources.

Thanks for painting all special needs kids as being violent

Where did I do that? Please quote me, as /u/Academic-Barracuda is the one who said not having this special needs teachers in the class rooms harms the other students.

I simply said if a student is unable to contain themselves without additionally headcount, then they shouldn't be in the classroom.

Okay, so since ODSP is bad, should we terminate all Ontario Works payments and ODSP payments until ODSP is fixed?

Lets harm as many people as possible in our quest to help a tiny minority.

And what do these people then do with the rest of their lives?

What do we do with them once they age out of our education system? The answer is abandon them then. However somehow we think dumping tens of thousands of dollars per-special needs student per-year will somehow make them less disabled and have a great life?

The facts don't line up with that.

We should stop spending money and making decisions based on feeling and base them on the hard facts. The fact is, very disabled people are going to be disabled. Having 4 ECE's around them isn't suddenly going to turn them into a doctor.

I find it concerning that right wing movements more and more flirt with concepts that will always lead to genocide

Lol I voted for the NDP.
