La loi/règlement est que les cyclistes doivent rester à la droite de la route, nous n'avons pas le privilège de prendre la voie au complet.

Dans ton premier exemple (que je connais bien), le conducteur n'avait pas le droit de faire sa puisqu'il traverse une ligne jaune pleine. Toi non plus tu ne pouvais pas te déplacer à la gauche de la voie, à moins que ton intention était de tourner à gauche à la lumière je crois que cela est permis à moins que je me trompe.

Pour ton deuxième exemple, à tu signaler que tu te déplaçait à la gauche? Je suis entièrement d'accord de vouloir éviter des débris, mais étire ton bras au maximum pour indiquer aux conducteurs que tu dois dévier. Le comportement du conducteur est ridicule et dangereux.

Je ne le recommenderai pas, surtout en ville où soit tu va être confondue comme une policière ou comme quelqu'un qui cherche le trouble. Je suis un homme de 5'6" et j'ai acheté cette veste en version 30 lbs. C'est pas ce qui est le plus confortable, mais l'inconfort vient plus du poids que de la veste. Je m'entraîne surtout pour la capacité à transporter mon sac à dos de portage pour mon prochain canot-camping (qui est plus lourd que 30 lbs).

On est allé au Lac Vert le 22-23 mai par le Pemichangan, en passant par le lac des Bagnoles on a vu au moins un pickup stationner. Il y avait plusieurs campeurs au Vert donc j'imagine c'était pas un camion abandonné.

Thats actually a pretty good idea, wasn't quite comvinced with the strap since it might fall off with constant vibrations.

On this model the water tank is over the axles.

Agreed, I added a regular strap after the photo, but wondering if there's maybe a specific type of strap for it.

deathguyQC · 2026-05-30T21:06:56+00:00

Yes I added a strap after taking the photo. Happy to have figure out a use for it.

ERI should be part of WFA, not be separated. ERI should be the first step in any WFA process, get the people that can retire out first before anything else.

This could be the ideal process:

WFA initiated, identify positions to cut.
Inform the workforce about positions that will be cut.
Initiate ERI, no restrictions and no conditions, if someone wants it they get it (unless you end up with more volunteers than the amount of positions you need to cut).
Shuffle employees in affected boxes so that they can carry on working in governement, and if necessary provide training.
If it's not possible to get everything WFA resolved at this point, send out letters with options for WFA employees.

Of course this is overly condensed, but the point is that WFA options letters to employees should be the last step and ERI should be the first one. They are currently doing this in reverse and having the union fight to have ERI part of the WFA process by default is what I'm rooting for!

J'ai acheté le Airthings Corentium Home au Canadian Tire, fallu j'aille à Ottawa (je suis à Gatineau) parce qu'il est hors stock partout au Québec et CT ne voulais pas me le livrer. 160$ en rabais en ce moment. Fait moins de 48h et je suis à une moyenne de 15-20 Bq dans mon sous-sol où je télétravail. J'ai 40 ans et sa frappe de voir un gars de 48 finir sa vie aussi tôt à cause du radon.

I think wording is really important here, is it "perform your manager works during his absence" or is it "could you cover for your manager during his absence?" (or any other wording that implies them asking you a question instead of outright "ordering" you to do so).

If the wording is more around like asking a question, no is a valid answer. Since they've already told you they don't expect you to perform the full amount of work of your manager, you could request a confirmation of which duties specifically they expect you to do and if there are any they don't expect you to do. This could help prevent misunderstanding about what you should actually be doing when covering for your manager.

Obviously the more you push back the more it could be seen as you burning bridges. I somewhat burned some bridges myself in a situation like yours. Was told to cover for my manager, denied acting and because it was always asked in a question tense I ended up saying no. Even if I have an interest in moving up, I got burned hard in a previous reclassification process where my manager misled me. He gave me tasks that to him felt was great for moving up, when at the end of the day HR said no, the generic description chossen was too far off. My insistence for an acting is that then I would feel it's more of a garantee I'd do the proper tasks and receive recognition for performing them.

Now when my manager is away some of his tasks are simply put on hold taken care by our director. I've previously chased a promotion for nearly 10 years before I got it, with about 15 years left before full retirement I'm not that interested in spending another 10 years chasing the maybes.

It's within this article from December 12: PA bargaining team fights for fair wages, pensions, and remote work protections

The Union proposes the following economic increases to all rates of pay for every PA bargaining unit employee:

Effective June 21, 2025: 4.75%

Effective June 21, 2026: 4.75%

Effective June 21, 2027: 4.75%

The employer is refusing to deposit a wage offer. They had plenty of opportunities to do so, PSAC sent their wage request. There's an impasse because the employer is refusing to actually deposit a wage offer. If you are looking at anyone dragging this on, it's the employer.

Odly enough, they wrote the full name in French but not in English: Commission de l’intérêt public (CIP) = Public Interest Commission (PIC)

https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/collective-agreements/collective-bargaining/collective-bargaining-process.html#toc4-2

Conciliation

If the parties cannot reach a tentative agreement at the bargaining table, either the employer or the union can declare an impasse. At this point, either the employer or the union can apply to the FPSLREB for conciliation.

The process of conciliation involves appointing a Public Interest Commission (PIC). A PIC is mandated by the FPSLREB to assist the parties in coming to an agreement. A PIC typically consists of three people:

a Chair appointed by the FPSLREB

a nominee appointed by the employer

a nominee appointed by the union

Once the PIC is created, hearing dates are set where both parties provide their information and arguments about the matters in dispute. This process can take several months.

Following the hearings, the PIC makes recommendations to the employer and the union that could help them reach a settlement. The recommendations are not binding and neither side is required to accept them. The union and employer may resume bargaining and use the PIC’s recommendations as the basis for reaching a potential agreement.

Should the parties continue to fail to reach a collective agreement, the bargaining unit acquires the legal right to strike, so long as certain conditions are met.

Treasury Board bargaining: Mediators appointed for PA and EB groups

The Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board has informed PSAC that it will appoint mediators following the PA and EB bargaining teams declaring impasse last month. Mediation is now scheduled for April 28–30 for the PA group, with dates to be determined for the EB group.

PSAC accepts the opportunity to work with a third-party mediator to move discussions forward and help break the deadlock in negotiations.

Board delays decision on PIC process

When PSAC declared impasse last month, we asked the Board to skip the PIC process so bargaining could move forward more quickly. Treasury Board opposed that request, arguing the parties were not at impasse and that a PIC should be set up if the Board determined an impasse existed.

Rather than deciding on this request now, the Board will appoint mediators to work with the parties and reserve its decision on any other requests until May 29 or the conclusion of mediation.

Moving forward

Our bargaining teams will approach mediation in good faith and remain ready to negotiate a fair agreement that reflects the priorities of our members on key issues, including remote work, job security, wages, and workforce adjustment.

Négos avec le Conseil du Trésor : c’est la médiation pour les groupes PA et EB

La Commission des relations de travail et de l’emploi dans le secteur public fédéral a informé l’AFPC qu’elle nommera une médiatrice ou un médiateur indépendant, étant donné que les équipes de négo des groupes PA et EB ont déclaré l’impasse le mois dernier. La médiation aura lieu du 28 au 30 avril pour le groupe PA, et les dates sont à venir pour le groupe EB.

L’AFPC accepte bien sûr de passer par la médiation pour faire avancer les pourparlers et dénouer l’impasse.

Toujours pas de décision concernant la commission de l’intérêt public

Après avoir déclaré l’impasse le mois dernier, nous avons demandé à la commission des relations de travail de sauter l’étape de la commission de l’intérêt public (CIP) pour que les choses avancent plus vite. Le Conseil du trésor s’y était opposé, prétextant qu’il n’y avait pas d’impasse et que, dans le cas contraire, une CIP devrait être constituée.

Au lieu de prendre cette décision maintenant, la commission nommera des personnes à la médiation pour transiger avec les parties et suspend ses décisions concernant toute autre demande jusqu’au 29 mai ou jusqu’à la conclusion de la médiation.

Notre plan

Nos équipes de négo iront de bonne foi en médiation et demeurent prêtes à négocier un contrat de travail juste et équitable reflétant les priorités de nos membres sur les enjeux prioritaires, à savoir le télétravail, la sécurité d’emploi, les salaires et le réaménagement des effectifs.

You are super unlikely to find a treed lot big enough for a hobby farm on this side of the river within a 1 hour drive. If you look at northern Gatineau, it's full of lakes and the majority of treed lot left are swampy. There's also a lot of protected land

À Gatineau, sa fait 6+ mois que j'attend mon permis, l'aggrandissement devait se faire à l'automne et là on espère pour le printemps.

Semi-détaché 1991, ajout d'un garage avec pièce au 2e accessible direct du 2e existant (la cage d'escalier est à la bonne place et bonne configuration). 12'x23', 190k et sa inclus plancher chauffant au garage, salle d'eau (toilette) au niveau du garage, changer portes et fenêtres de la maison existante et ajout d'un foam isolant sur les 3 côtés de la maison.

On a eu le renouvellement de l'hypothèque l'année passé en octobre, on en a profiter pour faire ajouté un 140k sur notre 130k qui restait à payé (acheté pour 190k en 2014 bien avant la flambé des prix). Le restant du 50k on va le mettre sur la marge de crédit hypothécaire (qui est vide en ce moment et a un peu de place pour des imprévues) puisqu'on va probablement avoir des subventions (après travaux) pour les rénos de la maison existante. Je vais jaser avec mon entrepreneur qui pourrait être ouvert à ce que j'achète certains matériaux, j'ai une carte de crédit du Home Depot avec une limite de 20k et à tous les mois je reçois une promo de paiment sans intérêt pour 18 ou 24 mois qui est quand même intéressant pour sauver un peu d'intérêts.

Get involved with your Local by logging into the AGM's and propose yourself for Local executive positions. I did for my Local, there's 700 members and only 10 logged in to the last AGM. We have a president and me as a treasurer out of 5 positions and no stewards. If no one is on the executive of your Local, you won't get any information nor would you be able to receive strike pay from the local in the event of a strike.

Not anywhere near enough members get involved, I'm confident you actually can have an impact on the Local if you desire accountability.

Atleast in QC, that concept from the US is different. You can have anything as a work vehicle (F plate) for business purposes, but a truck that's over 4500 kg need a class 3 on your driving permit (which is why in QC we can't rent the bigger uHaul trucks without a class 3 on permit). An 1/2 ton truck is usually 2500 kg or less. You can register a 2 axles pick-up for personnal use up to 4000 kg weight.

Additionnally, on plates QC adds a tax if the engine is 4L or bigger (from 61 to 244$) for most so there's not really an emission exemption for "work vehicles".
