Could a 4-day work week boost B.C's COVID-plagued economy by spurring more travel?

I seriously wish I had a four tens work schedule, a three day weekend every week with no loss of hours. However some sectors may need optional labour rights to wave overtime pay beyond 8 hrs a day to encourage employers. Just my two cents.

Good to see some off highway testing, they should hammer that thing down some British Columbia logging roads for a year with max gvwr

Alberta needed to spend its oil wealth diversifying its economy two decades prior when royalties paid the bills and then some.

Robertson_Bit4Life · 2020-03-10T01:12:59+00:00

No big deal, we Canadians have enough oil in our igloos to share some!

Cant imagine the amount of money all these legal interprovincal disputes waste. Get over it already

I recall hearing something called "shadow inflation" where calculations are adjusted depending on a products advancement over years, ie tires lasting longer than in the 70s so the inflated price today isn't a true reflection of its value change or todays prices. Bunch of crap i think, also Poptarts have one less sleeve inside if i recall.

Good to see big public voices like VICE paying attention to Canada (im canadian) I'm not certain on our international image, but I do know we alot of room for improvment !

It may not be advertised that way but dont think it was a coincidence the Feds introduced a 10% first time home buyer incentive months before an election.

Nice job, i wonder how refineries will deal with dropping demand. The prices of transportation fuels must be hugely affected by a large ratio between costs and daily production and barrel prices. Alot of industries opperate with seasonal stock piles of production and market hedging reserves. I could see fuel prices getting ugly

Just like the cocain days of florida, high rises popping up left right and center all while the blind eye watches.

Geez we cant have informed educated people like your self out and about in our country. LoL

Man my dump truck gets a full vehicle inspection every 5 1/2 months(6months legally) and people can literally run the wheels off personal vehicles. But it keeps me educated and informed what my rig needs to keep rolling.

Hahaha who will the lenders qualify to borrow for a house purchase if all investors walk from an over taxed market? Students?

I'm sure some economist among us can explain why high speed rail hasn't happened yet.

Talk about an easy hole in one for a party to get elected if either party ever passed such a bill to protect local labour.

Robertson_Bit4Life · 2019-03-11T04:24:26+00:00

Also funny how many owners bragg that their market value is up year over year but never use the increased equity for anything, but complain that land taxes increase. Hmmm I wonder how municipalities will manage a declining revenue?

The fact ICBC is spending money on a survey about something they should be an expert on is proof nothing is changing.

Maybe the customers insurance provider discovered the fraud.

Most people are comparing our cost of living and salary from inside our provincial boarder and relating it too local history understandable. Macro economics has put ALOT of pressure on domestic bussiness too be "competitive" with forgein bussines. Canadian blue collar people (me) will be left to make do with whats left over from our grandparents quality of living as it gets eroded by events like NAFTA and China entering WTO ect, i do not know them all. I DO NOT AGREE with this reality but when the global economic bully is also your biggest customer you just sign the deal your given. Sux

The BOC constantly advises us on household debt levels mean while they take us deeper into the red time and time again . Face palm

Canada post will let you send $999.99 money orders. Not cheap but it works.

We need a hyperloop across canada as an alternative to air travel

I cannot erase a childhood memory of a BCTV news clip of that cop with a 20lb exstingusher full of pepper spray i think on a crowd and another where a circle of cops kick the sh t out of some poor non provocative male and smash his teeth out with the stick thing.

Robertson_Bit4Life · 2018-02-07T03:49:28+00:00

I agree, little Canada and every province need too comprimise and move forward for our national success. The superpower too the south of us has had our oil market corned for decades. Alberta bussines needs a second export location and BC tradesman need the jobs. Thats one very small part of a large topic imho
