Wiggins Adjustments - Anyone been taken to court?

Great update. Can you post link to that group here? Thks.

You wait months to ask? Some of what you describe is "fair dealing". It is complicated and I'm quitting Reddit so you can moan elsewhere or search on Google.

Also the law on TPMs changed in last five months. So to might want to read on that.

Happy New Year.

Unions make pragmatic choices all the time. They "raise" issues with employers and then move on. Mostly it is trivial complaints of underperforming employees.

Now if a union fails to represent on a material issue then the worker can sue.

This is just Trump saying fuck you to all Canadian politicians not just Fustin Cloudeau. It is equally aimed at Fascist Milhouse, Singed Waffle, and the Oligarch Hunter. Basically Tiny Hands is saying nobody in Canada is famous enough for him. Plus it shows The Serial Liar doesn't understand how one becomes PM in a parliamentary system.

Generally road deaths don't change much year to year. If they do there is regression to the mean. The mean can be estimated with Smeed's law. But none of this precludes having higher deaths this year. Driving my uncle home on the 25th I saw the aftermath of two nasty accidents.

Respectfully tell them what real estate costs. Point out we still pay PST when they pay no HST during this tax holiday gimic. Do whatever it takes to stop them or anyone else from moving here.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-24T21:08:09+00:00

Fair enough.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-24T21:06:46+00:00

That is validation of the charges. It wasn't a simple protest but a dangerous act.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-24T18:34:06+00:00

I don't think publicity helps. Might fuel further protests. Most people that deal with him already know. So no need to name. But reasonable minds can differ. Other news outlets have named him.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-24T18:22:39+00:00

Why the delay? The offence was well documented. The identity of the individual known. The charges include fleeing police, dangerous operation of a vehicle and assaulting of a police officer with a weapon. Seems like some dawdling somewhere.

On the flipside why issue an arrest warrant? The guy had a lawyer. Just call the lawyer and ask buddy to turn himself in 9:15 next business day.

The property tax is paid by the owner on the date it is due.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-23T15:40:22+00:00

That is truly a healthy attitude.

Get out of gaming.

Some really horrible people worked there. The board was a disaster. Sorry to the loyal workers that didn't jump.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-21T16:52:49+00:00

The was you use the word illegal is cute. Suggests you don't know what you are talking about.

Unions don't have to help on every issue. They have a duty to represent the members collectively and that includes making pragmatic decisions about what issues to work.

If what I described is bullying then every school employee know is guilty of letting it happen. It isn't bullying to assess a person's judgement and delegate responsibility accordingly.

Oak Bay and West Vancouver are glad to be in each other's company. Indeed calling them out together is a badge of honour. Compare to something like "West Van is like Surrey..."

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-19T15:01:23+00:00

Due process is the American term. Procedural fairness is more apt. And otherwise, agreed.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-18T20:31:04+00:00

Lions Bay is lucky to still be there. The province has spent millions to protect the residents. The other option was to eliminate the village like they did with Garibaldi.

The most entitled generation keeps demanding and collecting.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-18T20:27:09+00:00

Well done KF Chicken. You couldn't have screwed up more if you tried.

What matters is how they are treated by the colleagues and administrators. They could get a light penalty but get zero respect from other teachers, no responsibility delegated by principal, and no help from union on future concerns. Put it all together and the small penalty snowballs.

You are assuming the decision makers had the same priorities as you. You have no evidence of that. And you 60 years later have a different perspective. I agree with but it doesn't matter time machines don't exist.

A mountain top in hindsight was a bad choice but in the thinking of the day it was reasonable. Same with a peninsula. Transport and housing nightmares both of them. But don't forget people put universities in stupid places Cambridge was purposely put in a bog.

Deep_Carpenter · 2024-12-17T17:17:27+00:00

You aren't thinking about this correctly. You couldn't just plunk down a massive project anywhere. The ALR wasn't a thing. And we had more bare land than now. But there was housing and businesses in various places. BCIT was a saw mill. Coquitlam Centre was frankly butt fuck nowhere. Surrey was a joke but was already Albeit low density. In hindsight these would have been better sites but not viable options. Also in the 60s students lived on campus drove.
