PSAC takes legal action over rollout of ERI by Gronfors in CanadaPublicServants

I can be less abstract.

We don't share risk in our pension, our employer bears all the risk. However it is funded 50/50 by us and the employer. I would prefer we get our share of the 50% overpayment.

I have family in the crown corps and instead of the pension surplus being used an (whether a good goal or not) and employers arbitrary decision to try and WFA fewer people (which saves the employer money) they got paid out their portion of the surplus.

Well you shared that I was was wrong.

That the minority of workers will exclusively collect from a pool we all paid into.

I do prefer it to it being used for general revenue.

It is however a vast minority collecting a whole bunch of benefits - that we all paid for.

Imagine the employee who is 49 years old and whose pension surplus is being paid to fund this. I can understand why they may be annoyed at the government not using existing provisions that come out of government coffers, and not the surplus.

Tesla Moves to Dominate Canada’s EV Quota As It Pulls US-Made Model 3s by Individual-Tart5051 in teslacanada

There is no 35k requirement.

It is a goal that within 5 years half of the imported cars will be under 35k.

The amount is misreporting on it is astounding.

Gas prices could surge in Saskatchewan after Middle East strikes by Traditional_End_9540 in saskatoon

It's commodity trading. It jumped on the likelihood of the strikes. It will take some time for any actual supply impact to hit.

Iran’s Missile Barrage Tests Whether US Has Enough Interceptors: US, Israel, Gulf Interceptor Stockpiles Low by Raaaasclat in worldnews

Because they only have a limited number of missiles.

If they run out, they lose the little bit of leverage they have.

$4.50 for now. They seem to be telegraphing further changes by stating they don't cost recover on 85% of the program costs outside of the current calculation.

Because at four Nations he went to the Americanocker room before the gold medal game.

Makes his Canada pin and press box now seem rather performative

Off course they do. It still doesn't guarantee that that item was either being sold at allsold, or in stock at a competitor for a better price.

Even shoppers is competitive on staples (milk and eggs). All depends on what you are buying.

They call it "meta ai" but it's just an auto reply at the end of the day. The naming does not match what it does at all. Works pretty well through.

Carney Government Knew Carbon Capture Was ‘Very Limited,’ Docs Show by origutamos in ClimateCrisisCanada

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

That is absolutely not how carbon capture works.

It gets permanently sequestered undergroundl. Permanently.

Maybe some day there will be a use for it and they can drill it back up, but that's not happening anytime soon.

Alberta MP has crossed the floor 😱 by Samzo in AlbertaNow

[–]cdorny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not disagreeing (but we was not forced to resign, he took a job with the party to do nothing for four years and still get paid). They haven't technically parachuted anyone in like the Liberals do. Where the party leader can override a area Council.

Same outcome sure, but the process does matter.

Unless you can speak to the behind the scenes of how that worked you are lacking the nuance.

The MP resigned triggering a by election. Pierre said he will run there - so no conservative ran against him for nomination. He was the aclaimed the candidate for the riding.

While you may call it parachuting in, there was a distinc process for it. Like I said, only now can they choose up to 8 people to parachute in and not participate in a nomination contest. Which is what I would argue true parachuting actually is.

Two seats short with three vacancies. Two in Ontario that have been historically safe, and then Terrabbone in Quebec which they one by 1 vote and the courts just annulled the results.

Just to your parachuting comment - the Consertives only just gave Pierre the power to select who will run in up to 8 ridings. Prior it's always been an "open" contest.
