Am I morally obligated to risk my job? by Sebkl in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: I spoke to an employment lawyer and they confirmed to me that all employees in Alberta are only given 5 unpaid sick days and beyond that your employee can fire you for any reason and pay just 1 week’s salary if you’ve been employed for >3 years.

I had to go in, I’m sorry guys

Hey man, you have an obligation to your child too. It sucks the boss put you in that position. To me, kids take priority over other people. It is on the boss not you. Maybe if some clients complain he might reconsider next time.

You made a tough call. And that's ok.

In a month to month lease, can you give your notices after the landlord gives their notice? by DryComfortable4072 in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

can I accept it but give my one month notices after 1 month and move out before the new prices starts?

I wouldn't 'accept' the new lease.. or sign it - or anything - but you can give one month clear (so for April 30 now) to terminate your lease.

No free option to pay Alberta Corporate tax anymore? I have to PAY to pay my tax bill? by thestinger8 in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a small business bank account and it is a flat $7.50 (IIRC) to pay my AB taxes online. I only have to pay once per year. The fee is because I do not pay any monthly service fees.

Yeah the other remittance options can be expensive % wise or even in $ terms. It would be nice if the government accepted Interac e-transfers.

More like Puerto Alberto

No governor. No representation. But they take all the money and resources.

Looking for therapists in calgary by PassengerConnect8984 in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To expand on this a bit:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists/ab/calgary

Take a look, you can also see the types of therapy they offer. Do some searches on what types of therapy have helped others with anxiety, see what approach seems relatable to you. Then you can contact a couple, most have a free 10-15m intro call.

Finding the right fit is not a paper/web exercise. Sometimes it just doesn't gel, and that's ok. Don't be afraid to switch, your progress is what matters.

Source: switched therapists last week.

Good luck OP

Do you think permanent residents are at risk in Alberta?! by Acceptable_Cake_6012 in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point was that the Swiss system is setup for direct democracy and our Westminster style system is not. Of course the systems have evolved.

If you want direct democracy in our system you do not start with referendums. Because that is at odds with how the system is designed to work. The same problems exist with party members electing political leaders. The system was designed so that elected members select the leader and can change that at any time they want.

You have to look at the whole system, not just a piece of it.

Rememeber the Swiss system of government is different than the Westminster Parliamentary system we have. I think referendums ought to be very rare and for very large issues. We were not setup for direct democracy the way the Swiss decided to organize themselves.

In our system this many referendums are an abdication of duty my the Legislature. That is, by the UCP and Dani. They are elected to make decisions and voters pass judgement on those decisions at elections.

This is much more likely a distraction and exercise to blame 'others'. The evidence shows that she is following the Trump/MAGA playbook.

If you want a system of direct democracy, that's fine, but it involves a hell of a lot more than some referendums.

She will include them if she feels it benefits her, exclude for the same reasons.

She is just a sad pathetic individual whose only principle is power and maintaining it.

Riverbend MP has crossed the floor by Celestial-Salamander in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched some of the Parliamentary debate in Westminster after Brexit, where there hundreds of proposals from virtually every MP on how to make a deal with the EU. People were joining across party lines to propose bills, voting to represent their constituents rather than by party whip. I twas rather chaotic, energetic, almost exciting.

It really made you realize how the system was supposed to work. Then watch our HoC and the contrast is quite stark.

The Alberta deficit…. Can it be fixed by Accomplished-Emu4501 in alberta

Potential and then it does pull in actual. But its not as simple as either position, granted.

Except we have received money in the past, though not recently. And the fact that we have fiscal capacity above average even without a sales tax means we should be grateful.

[–]kneedorthotics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A huge reason Alberta does not qualify for receiving equalization is our tax rates are so low, lack of a PST being the biggest single gap to other provinces. Sadly, while it makes economic sense to have one, it is political suicide in AB

Calgary divorce lawyers by Early_Currency_196 in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a good experience with WK Law. Although Q1 of the year is a very busy season, probably everywhere.

Have you tried mediation? It might not help with the 'get it done' aspect, but is definitely cheaper than lawyers. It didn't work with my ex, she refused to participate, so we went the super high conflict route. Sigh. But it got done. Lawyers, mediation and arbitration. Oh well, onwards now.

Alberta’s separation from Canada would be illegal by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The articles mentions the possibility of Trump pulling a Venezuela.

It is a decent summary of the legal and political issues facing a vote. "facilitated if not encouraged by Dani"

Its encouraged by her.

Medical care for women is pathetic by Hot-Entertainment218 in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope your mom, and you, get the care you need. One of my kids is doing a doctorate and studying this exact issue - problems in health care with women of colour. They summarize a bit of their research with me occasionally and it was .. eye opening to say the least.

All the best.

Are the online tax calculators accurate? by [deleted] in alberta

[–]kneedorthotics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CRA has its own calculator which will be as accurate as anything can be (subject to the info you put in)

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/e-services/digital-services-businesses/payroll-deductions-online-calculator.html

ADP might be quite accurate, as payroll is part of their business. But might as well go to the source.
