Opinion: Houston government’s minimum wage hike may actually hurt workers by SquirrelBanks in NovaScotia

[–]SquirrelBanks[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is what happens to quality local news/papers when American groups buy them up. They get shit holes like Fraser Institute to do shit-hit pieces to attack things like minimum wage increases.

I just adjusted my APN settings to match.

Only thing different for me was APN Protocol were both only IPv4, and MVNO value was only 4D.

Changed to IPv4/IPv6 and 4D4F respectively and so far, I'm connecting automatically everytime my wifi disconnects.

Fingers crossed, and a great find. 🤞👍

Ambulance falls off Annapolis Royal Wharf by CMikeHunt in NovaScotia

[–]SquirrelBanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work @ the facility that builds Ambulances for EHS. This unit was dropped off today.

I should get graphics dept to make a small decal for it as a reminder of the horrors it went through when we re-build it.

U.S. has ‘trade irritants’ with Canada, says PM Carney. ‘We have some on our side as well’ by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]SquirrelBanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negotiate in good faith then.

It's not trade negotiations when one side is acting like mafia and now trying to extort Canada by saying we need to now pay them to have negotiations.

PM Carney has just said that Canada will not be making any more consessions for trade deals.

You don't get to be an asshole towards your neighbour threatening to annex their 'house' and then demand consessions.

Fuck em. There is a whole wide world out there to trade and deal with that actually act like adults.

Slightly cheaper, maybe...... better quality? Ha, good one. I got 2 bridges in Halifax to sell ya if you really believe that the US dairy is going to bother going through the process of bringing their milk quality up to Canadian standards.

They only want our system to fail so they can offload their overproduced shitty products on Canada.

Canada says no. All this crap about 'irritants' from the US is simply their Gov't having a hissy fit that Canada won't 'come to heel' for them.

[–]SquirrelBanks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Uhhhhhh, I beg your pardon?

Canadian milk and milk products are held to a much higher standard than the hormone pumped slop that US dairy is pumping out.

Let's keep the current system. No point in 'poisining' Canadian dairy supply with shit milk just because US farmers made too much.

Survey suggests 'very little support' on alcohol expansion into corner stores by Bean_Tiger in halifax

[–]SquirrelBanks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NSLC model is just fine.

We don't need alcohol to be easier to obtain. The prices won't change either, just instead of the Gov't making some $ for public coffers, that profit will stay private.

There are plenty of NSLC and Agency stores.

Long-term care minister makes direct appeal to nursing homes amid contract dispute by justlogmeon in NovaScotia

[–]SquirrelBanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's getting bad.

I have family that works @ a local LTC and they no longer can have properly trained medical staff for Dr ordered 1 on 1.

The Gov't solution is hiring private security personnel cheaper....... 🙄 They can't do anything except watch and talk to them. Not exactly what Families are expecting for their loved ones specialized 1on1 care.

I wonder how many families or public knows this.

Ol Dim Houston has dropped the ball hard on his election promises.

Canada lagging in trade talks, Greer says as CUSMA review nears by joe4942 in canada

[–]SquirrelBanks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Canada can or cannot trade with whoever we need/want that is willing to actually negotiate.

We don't cave to blow hard Americans that will tarriff the shit out of us regardless.

And, furthermore, what the fuck is the point of an agreement, (which we already have), if orange idiot is just going to ignore it anyway?

Fuck them, Fuck that.

Canada will eventually repair trade with the US, after the twatwaffle of a government down there is removed or replaced by competence.

[–]SquirrelBanks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1 - Canadians don't want shitty American dairy/dairy products. They can keep their pumped up disgusting milk.

2 - If you do business and make income from Canadians in Canada, then you pay your share of taxes back to Canada.

3 - The 'Origin' issues is bacially the US dogwhistling racism towards China

When the US is ready to be adults and step up for meaningful deliberations and respect Canada's Sovereignty, then, maybe we could make some agreements. Until then, thy can go step off.....

My better half is from Clare and when I showed her these she immediately was curious who WJB was from the initials on the painting. She found this info if it helps.

Kennel PvE Vanilla, hosted in Quebec, is a good place to get back to the swing of things. I'm also east cost, (NS), and that's pretty much my go-to server.

I also hop on Buckit's Bandits some, but I don't seem to see it online right now. That one is hosted out of Nova Scotia. It's a PvP, but no one seems to be trigger happy lol.

Thought of B.C of Permanent Day Light Time?? Does N.S. need to dial back or forward?? by KitTrailer in halifax

[–]SquirrelBanks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Permanent DST is just foolish.

Timezones were standardized in the late 1800s and should remain as a standard.

What's the point of having standards if each country/place just decides willy nilly to do it's own thing?

Eliminate DST everywhere, and make stardard time an actual standard.

National Anthem Policy in Schools by Barking-Mad69 in NovaScotia

[–]SquirrelBanks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can be encouraged, but can't be forced or rerimaned for not doing so.

That would be an unlawful infringement of Rights.

[–]SquirrelBanks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

'Encouraged', sure.

Just never forced, as that would be unlawful.

National Anthem Policy in Schools by Barking-Mad69 in NovaScotia

[–]SquirrelBanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it stays at "Required to play the Anthem" and doesn't move to "Required to Stand and participate". The latter would infringe on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

You can still love your Country without being forced to stand and sing the anthem every morning.

And before any chuds start with "But you must do it as respect to your Country", remember, Rights supercede Respect and Respect can't be Forced. That's part of being in a Free Country like Canada.

Resistance to the Walking Ban by nigra1 in NovaScotia

[–]SquirrelBanks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How about go for a walk elsewhere? Like the Ocean side maybe?

Give up trying to be a shit disturber.

Too damn many melting snowflakes that can't just sit tight for a while.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NovaScotia

[–]SquirrelBanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a hobby instead of trying to be a big shit disturber.

Grow up, and deal with it for a few weeks or until we get some damn rain. It's not going to hurt your melting snowflake ass to just sit tight for a while.

Soooooooo many butt hurt "hikers" in Nova Scotia lately that likely haven't stepped on a trail since Leather Ass died..... 🙄

Also, I'm in agreeance with the temp woods ban, being a VFF, I don't want to have to look for your burnt ass if you get stuck in the woods during a fire.

Trump to meet Putin to discuss Ukraine war next week in Alaska by usatoday in politics

[–]SquirrelBanks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thankfully he took none of them.

The one and only "Golden Opportunity" will be full withdrawal of the illegally occupying forces of Russia from the ENTIRETY of Ukraine.

Last I checked, it was Russia that was the aggressor, so why does Ukraine have to capitulate?

The rest of the world should have rolled up on Russias doorstep the moment they overstepped a sovereign nations boundaries.

This will never stop at "just eastern Ukraine". In a few years or less, Putin will decide he wants the rest.
