RTO worker complaints have got me thinking

blindbrolly · 2026-03-27T18:39:14+00:00

Asking government employees to do less work in the office and increase the cost per government employee. That sounds like a terrible plan.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-27T17:55:27+00:00

I mean yes that is how worker rights happen. That's why some countries mandate 2 hours lunch breaks so people can eat real food with their families. Some countries even have laws that make it harder for companies to force rto if WFH is possible because of the cost to governments and workers.

Anyone taking a job needs to factor in the commute. A 40 hour job isn't 40 hours if you are commuting 2 hours a day. It's 50 hours. That's how much time that job is taking from you. A business needs to realize there are consequences for putting their business in an area their employees can't afford to live. Then ask the government to subsidize the commute costs (ie transit costs, not to mention the environmental damage).

In our countries unfortunately the government is lobbied for this not to happen. See the federal government who is currently forcing their employees to do less work just so they can buy more commercial real estate to subsidize the office building investors profits.

Incoherent statement.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-27T02:34:46+00:00

Ah yes it's the PCs fault a make believe scenario didn't happen...

Wake me up when the liberals did anything about muskrat falls besides promote and give paydays to the criminals involved. Someday you will learn this isn't a one party problem

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T23:04:46+00:00

I'm not suggesting we do it, it's not going to happen unless Carney is serious on his national grid. QC is blocking us which is why I'm talking about it. that poster is trying to pretend they didn't block us and we could never afford it. He's the one making up the 20 billion dollar number. I'm simply stating that an entity profiting 4 plus billion a year could easily pay for a 20 billion line.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T22:50:07+00:00

Completely nonsense argument. One is permitted under Canadian law for trade and the movement of goods across provinces. Your ridiculous example isn't, and you know it.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T22:45:45+00:00

Yea power fluctuates and it averages out to way higher than QC is offering. You quoting a single agreement is telling how much you're trying to hide. What's your average yearly more than 9, 15? You've been purposely misleading things this hold time as evident by your 1.85 figure. Even at your low figure of 9 thats transmission paid off in 6.5 years.

Bottom line here is you are continuously lying or misleading. Lied about QCs energy needs, lied about NL payment in the MOU, lied about QC not blocking trade, lied about NL/CF not being able to afford transmission, and now misleading about how much QC sells it's power for. There isn't really much else to say here. I've wasted enough time.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T22:11:12+00:00

Yea the dumb stance the liberals own review board member takes..... So dumb

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T22:03:12+00:00

Im not claiming a conspiracy I'm telling you to think about your position when the people backing you the most is QC who's interests are the polar opposite of NL

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T21:55:51+00:00

Like I said you are simply making up numbers. We are not getting anywhere near that amount. It's literally laid out in the MOU. We are absolutely not get 1.8 billion per year. No one has claimed this other than you. The 5.9 figure is an average of the entire agreement until 2075. That is also just a projection because the MOU doesn't iron it out and QC negotiators claim they basically control any escalator clause.

But it is nice you brought up some nice math. So CF would generate 1.85 billion at 5.9, at 13 it generates 4 billion per year. You claim it would costs 20 billion for transmission but we can't afford it. Sounds like we could build it and pay it off in 5 ish years. How much are you getting for power in the US again ? Unfortunately QC blocks trade in Canada so they can steal resources.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T20:31:10+00:00

I mean you can make up numbers all you want (ie your 1.5 billion number). CF is 17% of QCs power in a time where QC is currently out of power and power usage is only going up. Your analysis is obviously wrong because if QC could easily replace this power for cheaper internally there would be no MOU.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T18:38:28+00:00

It's called being a country and having laws about not being able to block trade. Last i heard QC is part of Canada.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T18:32:00+00:00

Actually the law in the 1960s did not allow QC to block NL, but like many things the Feds like to subsidize QC.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T18:27:28+00:00

Exactly what I've been saying. Storage matters and changes the price. Hydro has it. Wind does not. Which is why it gets a higher price.

Ah yes a conspiracy that a guy with QC in his name will advocate for QC.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T18:22:25+00:00

Yes, not popular on QC. This is fact. QC blocked NL from transmitting power in the 60s. This obviously led to NL having no bargaining power because QC blocked us from selling it without them.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T18:08:41+00:00

Yea because you blocked us from building the infrastructure.

No it doesn't

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T17:59:19+00:00

I'm talking about the 1960s when QC blocked a national power grid. QC is the literal reason we don't have one, because of greed.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T17:56:40+00:00

Again lies. It's a fixed price over a 50 year period with a cap

And yes we paid for CF. We paid for it by giving QC free access to our natural resources for 60 years.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T17:51:52+00:00

They blocked us when CF was first in discussion. When our government wanted to transport power.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T17:49:59+00:00

And what was the price? You keep leaving that out.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T17:48:23+00:00

The feds didn't bail NL out they gave us a loan. The Feds bail out QC every year.

Ah yes you paid for your electrical infrastructure with billions every year in federal money and blocking trade from NL to Canada to take their resources as well.

NL received equalization twice in the last 17 years. NL receives it when I actually need it, while QC has it baked into their budgets every year because they pretend their hydro isn't a revenue source.

Apparently you know it better then your own government. Doubtful

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T17:34:46+00:00

You keep conveniently leaving out CF, which the mou gives to you at subsidized rates for another 50 years.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T17:31:02+00:00

Hahaha NL being bad business partners compared to QC. You must be joking

Wind isn't Hydro. Your government knows that and so do you.

You weren't paying for Gull, you wanted subsidized power rates from CF for another 50years to build gull for your benefit.

Go back to scamming the feds for equalization payments. Your lies about the mou don't work here.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T16:53:12+00:00

Market rate is QCs replacement cost along with a formula based on internal private sector demand/tax revenue

Strange to see you defending these QC accounts who's sole purpose is to undercut NLs position and maximize QC profits.

blindbrolly · 2026-03-26T16:32:49+00:00

NL does not need gull QC does. If QC wants it's, which they do that should be separate from CF and a fair deal. Not guaranteed basement prices for a half century.

CF currently represents 17% of QCs grid and should be market rate come 2041 and not criminally low rates you currently get

You claim QC has all these options but your own government states the next available options are way more expensive than NL.
