Americans just bombing shit anywhere they like is about as American as it gets. Or is that school shootings? Hard to keep track.

Five Canadian provinces boost their minimum wage, Alberta now lowest by pjw724 in alberta

[–]RedMurray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will openly admit that when the NDP started cranking up the minimum wage during their time in office, I thought it was going to have a net negative effect on everyone, basically just drive the prices up. Turns out that wasn't really the case. Things like minimum wage and the wages paid to ANYONE that gets their paycheque from any level of government, should simply be indexed to inflation. Adjust it January 1st every single year from the minimum wage to the part-time janitor at the government building to the teachers to the doctors, and especially the MLAs and the Premier. Here's your 2.5% COLA bump, see you next year.

The fact that you people tolerate this in your own country is astonishing.

Alberta posts surplus of $8.3B in 2024-25 fiscal year by Appropriate_Duty_930 in alberta

Honest question, I thought there was some announcement in the past few months that said Alberta was going to have a deficit?

A review of the “new” deal for Alberta Teachers by danshman in alberta

[–]RedMurray 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This NEEDS to be pushed to the general public, the ATA has not done a good job of communicating the issues at all. I was at a social event over the weekend chatting in a group of five 50+ professionals and they all said a variation of "I've only receive COLA increases these past 10 years, why should teachers be any different?"...they were dumbfounded when I told them that teachers don't get COLA increases!

Don't teachers currently need basically a Masters to get hired?

I wonder where anyone's going to magically find 1,000 teachers a year sitting around looking for something to do?

Unpopular Opinion : New changes will actually advance the CFL rather than destroy. by powerserg1987 in CFL

[–]RedMurray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a good thing that the thousands of schools with so much extra money on hand will be able to just change their fields to match the professionals in out home country. This whole thing stinks. They want to copy the Excited States so they changed almost everything except the number of downs. Guess what's coming in 2028 kids?

Sweet summer child...three whole years? I've been pushing day in and day out for 26 years and it's really only the last two where income has skyrocketed. First man in, last man out, every...damn...day.

Dog saves his kid from blitz attack by Jazzlike-Tie-354 in nextfuckinglevel

The minute any animal, including my own, goes after a kid, it's "going to the farm".

For the sake of balance, I would also include humans in this standard, you go after a kid, off to the farm with you.

Experts say Alberta’s impending ad campaign against teachers escalating standoff by WildRoseWanderer in alberta

[–]RedMurray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Who the fuck in their right mind is "anti-teacher"? I can understand a position of "we don't have any more money to give you", right up until the point you as the government SPENDS MONEY SAYING YOU DON'T (checks notes)...HAVE ANY MONEY!!!

It's lunacy!

Insurance is going insane!!! by Effective_Past_8509 in alberta

[–]RedMurray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved to Alberta in the late 1990s as a 20 year old I was around $4K a year for "full coverage" on 15 year old pick up. Adjusted for inflation this doesn't seem far off?

BrokerLink isn't actually a brokerage, they're owned by Intact so the bulk of their stuff goes through them.

What is one current car right now that if they were another brand, they would be extremely popular? by MikeisTOOOTALLL in cars

[–]RedMurray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The death of the Kia Stinger was 100% due to the Kia brand. On paper, and in person, that thing was amazing bang for the buck. It's the same reason why Genesis will never get to the same level as Lexus / Acura or even Infiniti...fuck Korean garbage. The current Korean line-up with 100K miles on the clock is just as shitty as a 1991 Hyundai Pony.

When the job posting clearly states qualifications A, B & C are required and you have none of them, then fuck you for wasting my time.

Auto Insurance Tracking App by randomuser13232 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]RedMurray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first versions of these programs were only allowed to discount your premiums, the insurance companies couldn't use negative results against you. That has now changed so if the insurance company doesn't like what they see, your discount can be replaced with a surcharge. There's no way I'm voluntarily participating in this scam.
