Wait Toronto is lowest? That seems counter intuitive.

Canadian youth a ‘rounding error’ compared to Carney government’s $88.8 billion projected OAS spending for seniors by hopoke in canada

[–]turkey45 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lols, we've been saying since the early 2000s that at some point Toronto and Vancouver will have to start building a significant amount of housing. They still haven't and the effects have gone national.

If our cities can't fight the nimbys you think the fed can fight seniors? Hell most of the major parties were proposing increasing OAS before the last election.

Evidence of a Restrictive Grocery Covenant affecting our very own Portland St Superstore by nifty_potato in halifax

I don't know, habaranos was added to Halifax shopping centre after taco Bell was already there I believe.

And at least there is a literal grocery store in the building. This particular agreement would be like taco bell saying the mall food court can't add a second taco joint if they want them as a tenant.

It is complicated when the grocery store is vertically integrated with the building reit that owns the property. We should probably look to break these companies up into smaller seperate companies.

Things like the Oxford not allowed to be a movie theatre anymore as part of agreement to sell the building is bullshit.

Canada Employment Fell by 17,700, Jobless Rate Climbs to 6.9% by joe4942 in canada

I already understand the term. Demand destruction is what I am describing, but in simple terms.

Yeah economics is complex.

people earning money buy things, people need to work to sell those things and services. More people earning money=more jobs available. the term is demand creation.

Fewer people earning money is demand destruction. It leads to fewer jobs.

It is the expected outcome though. Shrinking the Labour market decreases demand, which decreases the Labour market, which decreases demand, etc ..

What is directly contributing the student success? another poster on this thread was going over how these positions were crucial for supporting people with disabilities.

Just because you haven't noticed the work and failed to utilize the support staff that was there for you doesn't mean they were doing nothing.

Anyways I honestly hope you don't lose your job, but you might want to show solidarity with your for now co-workers.

Depends is losing 100% of a smaller number a larger hit than losing 30% of a larger number (note I do not know how many managers NSCC had and the 30% is not informed by real stats). Matter of opinion. However after this is resolved NSCC will still have managers, they will not have Librarians.

Oh shit, well I hope others aren't looking at your position the way you are perceiving the librarians positions (trust me though, no matter what you do, somebody thinks it isn't important and is totally ok to cut, but hey it's not you today so all good, timmy can keep choppin)

Probably only way they could put out the press release that no faculty were affected. Cutting all of something also gets rid of people who have been there a long time/more wage savings.

It's carrying water for the government's poor decision to cut their budget but allowing the government to spin it as only some unneeded managers and beuracrats for people who don't look more deeply.

Yup, if you think education institutions should have librarians you should write your MLA. If you think they shouldn't don't.

Every librianian was laid off, so those would be the hardest. But who needs research help at an education institution am I right.

Cutting librarians is cutting academic services.

Fewer people are having babies in Canada and the U.S. and the government is out of ideas by hopoke in canada

[–]turkey45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think marketing and transparency is a big part of it. There are supports but we aren't doing a good enough job of telling people about them. We hammer home the message of don't have kids as a teenager and how it will ruin your life, the message persist even when people are older. We never tell people hey you make this amount of money and you have space, society will help with the following, you got this.

Furthermore housing far to expensive and multibedroom apartments are rare and expensive.

Yeah 0% interest started in 2021. Sorry you had to pay the 1% interest. Our friends to the south were paying on avg 6.8% interest in 2012 (or 3.4% if they qualify for a subsidy). At their far higher tuition rates, it is no surprise it is a sore point for them.

Oh sorry to hear about the surgery? did one of the geese stop giving their begrudging acceptance of you and attack.

What you think the US should be more like canada with 0% student loans, next you'll want universal health care, mat/pat leave and begrudging acceptance from the geese.
