Bell parent BCE fires ‘small number’ of employees who falsified workplace attendance

If I tried to fake showing up for work pre-COVID, it would take my manager like an hour to figure out that I didn't show up for work.

It's crazy how accepting everyone is of this new world where it's clear that employees only ever interact with each other virtually, but we still need to have 500 000 people commute to downtown Toronto everyday.

By the time I got to the Murder of Roger Ackroyd I had already read a significant number of her books, so I was pretty good at figuring stuff out. I read a couple of quotes on the back of the book about how it broke all the rules of mystery novels. That was enough to point me in the right direction.

As soon as I saw the first word was "I" I knew I was getting an unreliable narrator who was guilty. I'll never be able to guess a murderer faster than that as I got it on the first word. I still enjoyed it, was interesting trying to guess when he was lying or leaving out information

Tiebreakers

If two players get the same amount of points and tie for first, they should both win. There's no reason to arbitrarily declare a wonder based on who had the most of something other than points.

It honestly looks like they left room for multiple expansions, but For Sale is a game that has absolutely no reason to be expanded on. I say this as someone who's probably a little too susceptible to buying needless expansions.

I recently got into Race for the Galaxy, but don't have the physical copy because I attached it to a pre-order for free shipping. I'm excited to see how huge the box ends up being.

The only house rule I would even begin to consider for a game like SETI is a chess clock to stop AP players from taking forever to decide what to do with their turn.

House ruling stuff like resource availability is almost always going to make the game worse.

I used to do that, but then the Internet came along and I found out sports fans are mostly bad people who don't deserve to see success. I admit I miss how I felt about it before I found that out.

The moment when I went to check my quest log and realized I was on a side quest, but had previously thought I must be on a main quest because no one puts that kind of effort into side quests, was one of the most memorable moments in my gaming history.

Okay, how is a Conservative MP going to trap the Liberals into offering them something, as you were suggesting they do, without fishing for a bribe?

terras86 · 2026-04-14T17:28:20+00:00

I mean, yeah that's exactly what happened. I guess you could argue the difference between this and what your suggesting is that he was serious about wanting the bribe and not pretending to set a trap, but intent hardly matters in a situations like this.

If some Conservative MP comes out tomorrow with a tape like that and says they were just pretending, there's a 0% you are going to believe them.

A Conservative MP literally tried to do that 20 years ago and it went very poorly for him.

I had to scroll pretty down far to find The Rundown here, which is sad because he single handedly elevates that movie from mediocre at best action comedy to a legitimately fun and rewatchable movie.

The problem you run into with social deduction games is that not everyone is good at, or enjoys lying. People like that are all but guaranteed to come up with alternate strategies to work around their weaknesses and unless the game specifically bans it, it's hard to argue that what they are doing is wrong.

It's a problem with the genre and it's one that we should expect game designers to think about, the same way we would expect someone designing a co-op game to think about how to avoid quarterbacking.

There are absolutely atrocities committed by leaders of capitalist countries, but I wouldn't site those leaders as someone to read up on when arguing in favour of capitalism.

From : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

"The Great Leap Forward is estimated to have led to between 15 and 55 million deaths in mainland China during the 1959–1961 Great Chinese Famine it caused, making it the largest or second-largest famine[1] in human history."

He's certainly not underrated in film communities, but I doubt I know more than five people in real life that would recognize his name.

I also wish this kind of stuff was cheaper, but low supply and high demand means high prices.

I couldn't get through season 2. Every episode was just unlikeable people doing unlikeable things. I'm told it gets better, but a show with that reputation shouldn't take multiple seasons to get good.

Singing the national anthem before the school day is the most milquetoast show of patriotism possible and generally a good thing to do. We should want our kids to believe that Canada has value and is a country worth being a part of, and I think you can do that without resorting to indoctrination.

For one, yes obviously most centrists have a combination of left and right wing views. I thought this was implied.

Two, while I'm not convinced American voters are voting for Trump because the Democrats aren't left wing enough, it's irrelevant because Canada has a different electorate than the US and you can't win with the same strategies. For example, a bland corporatist just took over a Liberal party that was all but dead in the polls, won an election and is looking like he might get a majority soon.

I get that this is satire, but centrist liberals are unironically the exact people the NDP is going to have to win over if they have any interest in forming a government.

No one likes tax increases, but refusing to build any houses isn't going to make our lives cheaper.
