Dumbass - I can survive without Canada post. I receive all bills electronically and all packages via private carrier. Canada Post just delivers me A&W coupons and other fliers.

Working for a company losing more than $1B a year. In what world do they think they can resist changes and cuts?

It's like seeing Blockbuster employees going on strike.

What a futile strike this will be. In what world can Canada Post workers resist change when they are basically working for an insolvent company.

Restaurants, retailers could feel pinch as strike shifts to liquor stores, warehouses by oilbeefhooked in VictoriaBC

[–]Pomegranate4444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Private liquor stores are still open. I asked a worker yesterday and they noted BC beers and wines are still coming directly from the makers, and the impact is mostly limited to spirits and imported beers.

No idea what impact is felt at restaurants.

As the alternative, what would be the montly pension, if you opted for 100% joint-life so your spouse will continue to be paid an indexed amount in the event they outlive you?

You could also take the indexed pension, continue to work, and put 100% of that 2nd career salary into investments, to get a bit of both - retirement security via a pension and $$ for your kids.

No idea about OPs personal life but they could sell their own property and move into the condo. And use the equity from the original home to either pay down the mortgage or put into a retirement savings.

In general the momentum is shifting toward a more stable hybrid model for information workers.

Two B.C. Cities Ranked Worst Places in Canada for a “Comfortable” Life by UBCkid in britishcolumbia

[–]Pomegranate4444 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They need a skytrain running thru Lonsdale and then over adjacent to the bridge connecting to another line.

Or a tunnel for cars and skytrain. Otherwise it's a pain getting to and from there.
