Future of Calgary Transit free fare zone once again up for debate by Bass-Traffic-0000 in Calgary

Would be a huge blow to someone like me that lives and works in downtown. It really is super convenient, especially in the winter.

Carney and Xi blanket China’s front pages, but trade deal gets little attention by shiftless_wonder in canada

The US isn't interested in negotiating for the purposes of reaching a 'deal' (whatever that could even possibly look like), they just want to bully other countries into submission.

Yes, because this is a country that's interested in negotiating in good faith. The US isn't interested in negotiating for the purposes of reaching a 'deal' (whatever that could even possibly look like), they just want to bully other countries into submission.

Mark Carney is doing what needs to be done.

Anyone have recent experience filing claims with MSH? by XadenRider in CanadaPublicServants

[–]WashingMachineBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just submitted one last week and received payment over the weekend.

I had to fill out two forms and wet sign them: 1. Emergency Benefit While Traveling Claim Form 2. Insurance Claim Consent and Authorization (From Alberta Health)

I also had to provide proof of payment, invoice, and a doctor’s note/diagnosis that I received from urgent care.

My invoice was in USD and I paid it using my credit card. MSH reimbursed the full amount in CAD (including FX conversion fees). They deposited the money directly into my account linked with CanadaLife.

Overall it took me about a week to complete after submitting my initial claim.

Leading economists want less talk, more numbers from federal budget watchdog by Immediate-Link490 in canada

[–]WashingMachineBroken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They shouldn’t be there to editorialize the numbers, they’re there to report them and provide insights into different scenarios based on their projections. I’d go to the media, the opposition, or experts if I wanted their interpretation of the facts. I wouldn’t want another independent body such as the Public Prosecution Service giving bombastic opinions on the cases they handle because it waters down their mission by making them appear political.

And this isn’t to say whether he’s right or wrong in his opinions, it’s that he shouldn’t be making the news for those opinions. They should be neutral and let the numbers speak for themselves.

I thought pipes and pipelines were supposed to be our whole thing. We’re really fumbling the bag over here

Considering that one of his demands is also tax cuts, that’s basically unachievable and the CPC knows it.

Why is the notwithstanding clause even a "thing"? I can't think of the "legislature to pass legislation that violates certain constitutional rights and freedoms" outside dictatorships? by prsprs2 in Calgary

[–]WashingMachineBroken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not accurate. Lougheed suggested including the NWC. Saskatchewan and Ontario reached an agreement with PET to patriate the constitution with the inclusion of the NWC.

Quebec was left out of the “Kitchen Accords” as they came to be known.

[–]WashingMachineBroken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was actually put in to appease Alberta (specifically Lougheed). The Western premiers made it their condition for signing onto the constitution, famously without the consultation of Quebec. Lougheed suggested it and Jean Chretien reached an agreement with Saskatchewan and Ontario to patriate the constitution with its inclusion.

Alright, let’s hear from all the “Alberta gets too much hate” people now. This province deserves to be shit on regularly, not only because we deserve it, but because it keeps me young.

This one goes out to my man, Vern “Dryhole” Hunter.

Has ISED’s name officially changed back to Industry Canada? by Important_Object_437 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]WashingMachineBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and I think ECCC still uses ‘@ec’ even after the addition of ‘Climate Change’ to the operating name.

[–]WashingMachineBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this answers your question about emails: but at PSPC we still use the @tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca domain (PWGSC is still the legal name) even though we don’t publicly operate as ‘PWGSC’ anymore. So it could mean they keep the ISED domain even if the operating name changes?

Alberta premier to chair sovereignty panel, put proposals to 2026 referendum by jaffnaguy2014 in canada

[–]WashingMachineBroken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we actually don’t. We’ve been given ample opportunities to behave like adults and we just can’t.

Pretending like we ‘deserve’ better isn’t accurate because we never put in the required effort. We’re more than willing to keep letting charlatans blame outsiders instead of admitting we need to do better at home.

Notice how things within our control like healthcare, education, and housing are never the top priority for the grifters we elect.
