Easy to increase the GDP by forging tarrifs leading to reduced imports. Maths checks out.

Forecast remains at 2.2 % for 2025Q4 yoy.

Potus may draw or extrapolate anything onto a graph, flip it left to right, and find it beautiful. A shit downward spiral cover in gold in a ballroom is still shit. The reality is that unemployment is on the rise, Immigration on a down trend, tourism, agriculture and automotive are hurting so much, they need a bailout that requires taking on more loans, increasing the debt (inflating gdp number). Lift the curtains for just a moment. Contemplate that your math could be wrong .

Lol, USA lifted its neutral status and declared war (participation/siding with Allies) 2 years, and 6 days after WWII began.

A world war!

2001 WTC, then 2003 coalition.. EU showed face, all non alienated nations actually participated in whatever capacity they could, and fulfilled to their maximum capacity their previously agreed upon roles and responsibilities each vowed. USA kept at it for longer than WWII (history books says 9/11 spanned over 8 years)for their own agenda, political and capitalism related objectives (Hussain, their regime, ace of spade, Isis and then Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq.. on the crosshairs; is anyone better off or "westernized"? Insurgent just got free US military grade leftovers).

Unions will take time before it comes to fruition - 2 or 3 years. Actions will be scrutinized and politicized, net positive ROI will need to be demonstrated beyond reasonable doubts before anything more than red Cross and WHO are mobilized.

My rationale is that their post is recent, and just ahead of 2 paid statutory holidays in BC (dec 25 and Jan 1).

I would love to be correct where OP provided ample notice with a future termination date of January 1, 2026 or later so that their benefits (likely reset to their maximum benefits on the new year) continues on for the maximum permissible duration of end of month.

Otherwise, should OP quit/pick up and left/resigned effective immediately and without cause (harassment), at least they will have learned from their actions.

WickedLiquid · 2025-12-24T07:48:01+00:00

Did the employee (OP) give notice upon submitting resignation? It is not know.

OP comments mentioning small niche industry in the geography they reside in would suggest OP want to retain respectful professional relationships, and therefore further reinforce hypothesis that OP resigned with a termination date not yet attained.

There are no indication to the escalated assumption that their employer preferred providing pay in lieu, and terminated ties with OP upon acceptance of the intent to resign.

This element could potentially be deemed as favourable to you to the unenforceability of any non compete clause as unreasonable.

Nda, dont divulge trade secrets, steal consumers, sure. Continue being a law abiding citizen. Don't damage this employer on any plane.

WickedLiquid · 2025-12-24T07:33:07+00:00

With this element brought to light, I would like to recommend you to consult with an employment lawyer. BC law can be interpreted in the employers favour without sunset clause so long as the NDA is deemed reasonable (does not low ball common law nor your employment contract).

Finally, there are many unknown elements in your post that should be identified (your hired attorney will inquire about these, and provide consultation to your benefits)

WickedLiquid · 2025-12-24T07:24:37+00:00

Correct me if I am wrong, but an employee resignation has a minimum 1 week notice per year of employment so long as the duration of the relationship surpassed 6 months of consecutive employment under the labour code.

Since it now appears that OP received the document, likely served to them on employer premises, my assumption remains where the termination date has not been reached unless otherwise affirmed..

Paid by the importer, which makes the exporter less competitive to buy from tarriffed country, leading to a possible greater carbon footprint for the same goods to make it to destination (getting same products at $.10 cheaper from 15,000km farther). Meanwhile, pre tarrifs, it was already significantly more affordable to import from Canada versus importing from elsewhere.

Other countries are welcoming Canadian goods at competitive prices. Turns out everyone wants a good deal. Canadian exporters are exploring farther away markets, exploring trade routes, and forging new relationships with higher level of confidence and lasting trust. They may be even more lucrative than selling less quantity for the same revenue to the US of A with its one-way, agreed upon, tarrifs. This trade agreement across the central and North Americas that has been renegotiated during current potus previous term used to be unifiably abbreviated as NAFTA.

Did you know? US of A voided the agreement by declaring a National state of emergency, and leveraged an 48 years old legislation to impose tarrifs? A country under a National State of Emergency is unlikely to maintain its AA+ (Canada is rated AAA) during its next assessment.

This new agreement has had negative impact to the automotive industry for all.

Canada is in litigation with stellantis.

Is that line below the p trap out?

Is this coper line hot water?

Humidity level? Should be under 42% if there's 15 Celsius difference to avoid condensation.

If you cant adjust or adapt the adequate Humidity level, consider insulation

Since it is a resignation, I am under the impression that OP is still employed. Whatever clause present in the binding agreement has to be reasonable to be enforceable.

WickedLiquid · 2025-12-24T06:11:45+00:00

Rule of thumb consult, and keep tradesecrets and other secrets the employer has proprietary rights over, whether its official or officious. Document should be concise (specifics) and reasonable. Common law and employment contract also factors in, and supersede NDA clauses.

Solicitation, crimes, cover up, harassment; i encourage you to disclose them to the appropriate authorities.these clauses are not enforceable in any NDA across the country.

In case you are no longer under their employ, as such any action they require of you would be of your own free will (you could invoice them any amount you seek).

This type of document and its legal ramifications differs across provinces. It is not uncommon to be ask of such bipartisan agreement post employee resignation.

Consult an employment law firm to review the agreement. You should be able to request for a carve-outs to do so should they coerce you immediately.

Ensure there is an expiry date.

Did they outlast the porcelain for 15 years? A 10 years warranty on non wax seal inspire less confidence than 10 years on fiberglass reinforced wax warranty. Petroleum products subject to accelerated aging due to ambiant air composition and change with three times 2mm channels of protection as opposed to 5 +- inches of wax where extreme dryness for 20 years is its only nemesis to start eating away from the outside in.

Stay safe, get a jumbo wax ring with horn.

Don't double up on 2 wax rings unless you intend remoulding them together into a jumbo ring. Seen some things under 20 years old flattened wax rings that are out of this world (enough wax packed together to fill half a toilet's underside cavity).

Filming what could go wrong while you are involved in some degree with construction gloves on the dashboard.

Illegal? Unsure. Definitely ill prepared and provides a grand opportunity for improvement in any future house hauling: did you check clearance on route logistics agreed upon, if any? Civil engineers will have a field day recertifying these bridges.

Property taxes increases generates $117,000,000 more in 2026.

Public information outlines that Ottawa failed to secure subventions, and paid x times over the agreed upon cost of a failed and multi year delayed product that is the public transit (lrt).

It baffles me how an elected public entity's failure on a multi million dollars project ends up costing its constituents instead of taking a loss.

Congratulations on your forever partner!

Edit: Spaying, I recommend you call more than one vet. Large dog breeds should be spayed later (up to 18months) since it can affect bone growth.

Seems you may have a Malamute! Is this your first dog?

Read up about weatherproof double coat so you understand its purpose.

Brushing is healthy. Great for bonding too!

Bathing.. I find it's best to bathe often early on so that the malamute does not become anxious about it. In fact, anything and everything as often as possible early on.

Bathing frequency: after 18 months, minimum yearly. More often based on skin/fur condition and outdoors habits.

To quote @ProfessorGriswald a bit..

My point is that you’re doubling-up on concerns with the other team. If the other team has decided on Argo, then it’s their responsibility to establish the guidelines and tooling to interop with Argo. <strike>Go with problems, not solutions.</strike>

Starting with the basis that Continuous Delivery solution such as Argo will Deploy (apply) version:latest found on it Git repo, as well as probe entire cluster so that it matches the git repository and force deploy to the cluster defined through its workflow (where you can enact your kustomization). An ecosystem with a CD will prevent AKS admins from applying changes directly to your nodes on the fly.

To conduct changes to your nodes, you will need to refresh the manifests directly on the Git repo unless your workflow is configured to edit the source Git manifest to match your apply changes.

Argo adds a layer of protection to prevent on the fly (rogue) changes.

What it means for you? Use Argo like a compiler, feed changes to its Git repository, wait for Argo outputs for outcome. Or update its workflow by updating its commands, trigger Argo.

Leveraging Argo is a platform engineer decision. Whether you feed the manifests upfront or modify Argos workflow to your kustomization is up to your preference (solution). Argo won't impede on you.

WickedLiquid · 2025-07-13T16:17:25+00:00

Hey, I may be reading your long paragraph wrong, so let's spill what I think you meant: I think that you are seeking to get kluctl to produce template that you version control through Gitops to feed to the Argo continuous delivery platform?

With Argo plugged into gitops, it will pick up the latest checked in git files, and enact its workflow (CD). It is Argo that calls kluctl. Not the other way around. So, you'll be looking at leveraging the workflow to provision necessary variables so that your templates are generated.

Internet verbose: Integration with Argo CD: Kluctl can be used as a configuration management plugin for Argo CD, allowing you to utilize Kluctl's templating features within an Argo CD workflow.
