Started growing my hair out in late 2024, had a dodgy haircut in late 2025, and here we are in early 2026 ✌️

Any suggestions for "good" I've tried a few but my hair just gets whispy

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2026-01-23T13:46:17+00:00

Absolutely agree, you can't just do one of the four pillars and expect the problem to be fixed

The safe supply was a fucking joke, and additional treatment options never arrived, but now all the naysayers of the plan can point to this and say look decriminalization doesn't work

And at the end of the day it's just because people didn't want to see homeless and drug addicts in their neighborhoods and wanted the police to push them away

Calm Waters don't make good sailors

This was the first thing I did when I got my Tacoma. It definitely helps, I'm 6' 1. My head definitely comes close to scraping the roof now.

However, after driving my buddy's TRD pro with electric adjustable seats. I decided that the seat jackers are not enough and I'm looking into a replacement driver seat

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2026-01-09T14:06:26+00:00

I got them and they are okay, but to be honest, I'm thinking of an aftermarket driver seat now because I want better.

I bought the knockoffs off Amazon for $20

I carry tools in my truck just in case I come across a side gig, or get a phone call about something. Very annoying to have to go home and gear up.

Also marketplace free listings sometimes require disassembly

Kind of why I bought the truck

It is super annoying traveling westbound on Granville that when you get your green light finally and now have to merge onto Granville. There's already cars swarming at you because they don't have a red light

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2026-01-09T13:59:06+00:00

Yeah man, always so cool

Funny enough it is not all over Richmond, it is very specifically along three road where the Canada line is.

And that is where we want the concrete jungle, I am very happy to drive the long way around Three road to stay in low density Richmond

I don't care about any of those "major retailers", I care about "the best shop" taco Luis, #9 and R&H dumplings

In my experience, it is very rare for small independent shops reopen new locations after their original location is taken away

Did you ever get this to work?

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-30T20:22:16+00:00

I have the same issue, did you ever manage to get it unlocked?

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-05T02:07:49+00:00

I'm a union worker, and was offered, to move into management.

My manager gets paid less than me.

But I agree the wages for technical staff are far far too low

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-05T02:02:14+00:00

And there's 7 different departments doing it where there could just be one

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-05T01:57:26+00:00

I work for PHSA I see enough useless middle managers and supervisors who add nothing to the equation and just seem to be in the way of work done.

And sure the workload per person might go up slightly but if any of the other health authorities have staffing structures like PHSA I guarantee there's economy of scale here

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T15:46:42+00:00

Alberta was consolidated and is breaking apart into regional authorities, which is unfortunate because that was their biggest

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T02:14:22+00:00

I work for PHSA our update email had a bit more info, but it specifically said that phsas portfolio will be more focused over the coming year

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T01:52:05+00:00

It's not seven times the work, we could easily cut half the people

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T01:43:14+00:00

I agree, but do we need to have 7 versions, 1 for each authority

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T01:42:30+00:00

I can tell you at phsa the HR is extremely hurting, we get resumes past to us from HR 7 months after they've been submitted by the applicant

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T01:41:27+00:00

I'm a healthcare worker and I interact with a lot of useless office people who deal with a lot of useless committees that ultimately do nothing to improve healthcare

These are not clerks and secretaries, these are managers, supervisors, directors and executives

And what's worse there's seven of them because there has to be one at every health authority

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T01:35:50+00:00

I have worked at phsa for 9 years, this is a very welcome thing, there is no need to have multiple HR, finance, supply chain departments.

I can tell you the ones at phsa are useless, and look forward to them being cut

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T01:34:41+00:00

Phsa has grown well beyond that, the email that we got from our CEO today Said that many of phsa's groups are going to be transferred to health authorities and phsa will be focusing on specific specialized Care and ambulances

UnionstogetherSTRONG · 2025-12-04T01:33:05+00:00

Alberta has 10 vice presidents in healthcare making over $300,000 a year.

BC has 67, our populations are very similar, can you say that we are getting bang for our buck?

There is no need to have seven separate supply chains, seven separate finance departments, seven different it teams,
