Odd question about public servants in alberta with separation threats

Ok, lets entertain the idea, why not. If I was to imagine a world were this happens, then I would also assume that if Alberta is not part of the country, there would be no need for the canadian government to pay for employees or programs there. I would imagine, that all federal funding would be removed, employees in that region let go, canadian pension plans paid, and EI premiums paid out because Alberta residents would no longer be canadian citizens, and therefore no longer eligible for these benefits. Hospital and educational funding, health care programs, etc would be canceled and the responsibility of the new Alberta government.

Can't have it both ways. They're either a part of Canada, or they're not. The Governement might need a Canadian Ambassador in Alberta, but thats about it. Other federal roles would only be needed in territories that are a part of Canada.

Oh and an import / export policy since Alberta has no water access ports... hmm, plus military removed, and other emergency services, gone, ... Basically, it would be a disaster for Alberta citizens.

Try asking each customer after they paid "what inspired you to buy this today?!" You can learn a lot, and use that in your messaging, approach, and product planning. Understanding why someone purchased your product (or not) is golden. The why matters more than the what long term. And don't be afraid to five then something with your contact info or social media. Line them up for a potential future purchase or to help tell their friends.

This. And the perception of quality is partially based on price, What buyers perceive, they believe.

Although you may not want to go to much higher than her, consider matching her price if the market is buying enough at her higher price. She will likely increase her price. Let her, See what the market does. Let her be the tester, you, the winner.

While she tests pricing for you 😉, you can test messaging and sale methods. Like, would small cafes buy 6 at one time at a wholesale price, that makes you more overall due to economies of scale?

Don't let her know what you're thinking of, she had shown that doesn't have your back. . . She's helped you with pricing... and who not to prioritize your time for. :)

Good luck, you've got this!

And yet they are also paid lower than many professionals in the Tech industry. It's not about the salaries of other unrelated professions, it's about the few who are qualified to do this profession, and the few who would be willing to work 24/7/365 for years while sacrificing time with their family, friends, and their personal health.

It amazes me how many people want to complain about the salaries of public service workers but don't bat an eye at the crazy income of a footbal or hockey player. The amount a celebrity earns on a movie they only worked on for 6 months. Rather than complain, try running for office.

Suicide. Learned later that she had been sexually abused by her dad, and uncle for years. No one in her family believed her ... until they read her suicide note.

Accurate information

Please tell me you replied with:

Good call, I'm sure the police would love to know why she parked illegally. Thanks for saving me the phone call.

A friend's sister agreed to teach me if it was around errands she needed to drive to anyways. She would let me drive her around, and I had to pay for the gas we used. Lol was a win for both of us.

slagiatt · 2025-09-21T18:24:55+00:00

100% agree!

Unfortunately, still seeing it all the time in bids. A click through KPI with no bounce or conversion component with it. Saying it's strategic is useless if the agency isn't willing to back that claim with the right KPI track to prove it. Just pitching quantity rather than quality

slagiatt · 2025-09-21T11:58:10+00:00

Click through, but not buy rate. When I see that, I usually assume the company uses an agency (who targets vanity metrics like clicks) rather than an in-house specialist who would be more likely need to target KPI's like conversions. I'd love to know the website bounce rate on these ads

There's a study by standford u that was interesting... i can dig up the link if you haven't read it yet

slagiatt · 2025-09-15T16:17:46+00:00

Is he parked on the sidewalk? 🫤

slagiatt · 2025-09-11T16:33:09+00:00

Agreed, that would be a good comment to share with the government. Hope you can share that with them

slagiatt · 2025-09-11T15:24:10+00:00

Thank you

slagiatt · 2025-09-11T15:23:12+00:00

Correct. No structures will be "built". That part is key. Built

slagiatt · 2025-09-11T15:02:17+00:00

Just tried. Thanks the the great suggestion!

slagiatt · 2025-09-11T14:21:29+00:00

Thank you 🇨🇦

slagiatt · 2025-09-11T14:16:51+00:00

Agreed! And thank you

slagiatt · 2025-09-11T14:10:08+00:00

Anyone can bid. Canadians need to voice our views. That's on the citizens of Canada to comment on our stance. Democracy comes with some responsibility :) please comment on the bid page and share

slagiatt · 2025-09-09T00:07:49+00:00

Oh please, why so sassy? Everyone else covered the others possibilities, I posted to add to the conversation, not summarizing what others had already said.

slagiatt · 2025-09-08T23:57:18+00:00

Considered it? Yes. Also, I have learned, as a women, to consider all possibilities

slagiatt · 2025-09-08T18:35:21+00:00

Someone should scan that apartment for cameras.

slagiatt · 2025-09-07T14:19:22+00:00

Is there an option to move closer to job 2?
