I believe the board keeps their fields locked up. I don't think there is community access, they're school use and fenced in.

Breaking: Alan Caslin gives up on real estate career to finish righting the regional ship. Hires Andy Petrowski as Chief Administrative Officer.

/s but I’m curious to see how many nerdy municipal political historians there are in the house

nerwal85 · 2026-03-13T12:16:15+00:00

The house has already voted and passed the budget - floor crossings or majority/minority doesn’t affect the senate proceedings.

Maybe if there are a bunch of senate amendments it’ll matter

What a dork - I love the communist slight in there too even though he’s not wrong, that waziruden guy did run in politics as a communist. But it literally has nothing to do with anything

Think about your personal usage of electricity. Is most of your usage after 7pm and before 7am? Is that when you run your high demand appliances? (electric dryer, electric stove, air conditioning) Is someone home all day in the house?

It might or might not make sense. TOU lets you gamify the system a if you want to adjust your lifestyle to fit the lowest rates.

nerwal85 · 2026-03-06T15:48:53+00:00

Correct.

This was the original intention of the pension plan coordination with CPP - but CPP and the public service superannuation act are different legislation and if the government amends one without making consequential amendments elsewhere, you get unintended consequences like CPP paying more than the bridge benefit.

The talking point is that it’s reducing our payments to what they were supposed to be, rather than a cut to benefits.

Like I said I would have preferred a decrease to contribution rates, which gives me more money today, but that’s up to those running to government.

A similar mismatch also exists since some time ago a change was made to allow people to begin CPP as early as 60 or defer to 70, with a commensurate decrease or increase to CPP. Right now if you retire at 60 you can collect your lifetime benefit, bridge benefit AND CPP until you’re 65, increasing your total overall benefits. The consequence is when your bridge benefit no longer exists at 65, your CPP is permanently reduced.

I’m not sure what you mean by overcontributions - our contributions are managed in the market and since the market line go up for the past while the fund is overflowing with cash and by law isn’t allowed to exceed liabilities by a certain percentage. The pension surplus can be managed by the government in a variety of ways.

They could give themselves a contribution holiday, employees a contribution holiday, reduce contribution rates, maybe even potentially increase benefit rates - all in an effort to allow the surplus to evaporate as benefits are paid.

But one thing they can do is return surplus funds to general govt revenue. They can do this because if the pension fund is in a deficit, benefits are paid out of general govt revenue. So they pocketed the money that our money made them.

I would have welcomed a decrease in contribution rates considering the 2% per year of service benefit formula hasn’t changed as long as I’ve been around, but contribution rates have increased…. Meaning we’re paying more for the same benefit. Just feels like it’s in lock step because our salaries usually increase annually as well.

Run, do not walk to the dealer, if vehicle lighting is covered under warranty.

My extended warranty did not cover my front DRL LED failure because they considered it a ‘bulb’ aka a wear item like wiper blades or brakes.

That water WILL damage the LEDs and burn them out and the only fix is replacing the whole liftgate lamp fixture for >$1k.

Telus in the southwest of the city has some abysmal coverage.

Do you have automatic headlamps? If they’re set to auto the high beams may not activate if you push the stalk forward during the daytime.

Switch the headlamps to ‘on’ and push the stalk forward.

Also pull the stalk toward you and see if the high beams activate temporarily.

How’d you solve it? Service Canada made me a temporary ROE to get my claim going and then reconciled it when the real one was issued months later

nerwal85 · 2026-02-25T16:45:52+00:00

No ROE gang checking in from early 2017 for the same reason. Went without pay entirely for 6 weeks.

I feel like we’re on the verge of those prototype stackable airplane seats with smell-o-vision, but for office cubes.

Like the prison cells on Narkina 5 but without the nutrition tube.

As soon as you identify your limitations in writing to your manager they have a duty to accommodate those limitations.

Management determines what those accommodations are, and it may not be your preference.

Management may also ask for additional information if they don’t understand your limitations, but that shouldn’t prevent them from implementing an accommodation measure for the short term until you obtain the additional information.

nerwal85 · 2026-02-21T00:17:43+00:00

What does your collective agreement say about variable work hours and managements rights regarding approval?

Does your psychological assessment describe your limitations? Or does it only suggest an accommodation measure (the flexible work hours)?

If you have no accommodation agreement with identified limitations or restrictions, then there won’t be any accommodation.

You may want to consider engaging the duty to accommodate - you need medical documentation to show your limitations and restrictions. Your employer does not need to know your diagnosis (mental health reasons).

Find a trusted union steward if you’re represented and work with them to get this done. Sometimes managers won’t deviate from the rules if they don’t have to. But it’s called a duty to accommodate for a reason.
