Then we would need to allow a convicted felon in the country. Trump is very clear he wants to “keep criminals out” of the US, we should do the same in Canada.

We block new cars that have the wrong color indicator lights or the wrong color of seatbelt button. We block cars from other countries that don’t have a preset to have the headlights on.

The jacked up F150 still has laws about its road worthiness, still can be taken off the road, especially if the operator does something stupid with it.

Ya the more you talk about it the BETTER it sounds that we get more specific laws about guns just like cars.

Lets add inspections when you cross provinces.

Restrict its use if too loud.

What if the operator shoots it too rapidly? Get a license revocation for a period of time maybe longer?

Sounds perfect!

We have age restrictions, licensing requirements, and laws that revoke your ability to drive under some conditions so ya. Just like gun laws.

They used to be more lax, the current rules are more strict because it IS a problem and there are studies showing it to be. Hence the lower BAC limits.

• Why? this is important as it will probably eliminate some options.
• What? What do you expect? Do you have specific clients you want to work (iOS mail app?, Samsung mail app? etc), are you good with a 3rd party app? Web interface only? Do you have or want a custom domain or are you migration to @newcompanyhostingme.com?
• Price? What is your budget? Outside a hand full of options that sell your info to be free almost everything else has a cost.

So I am not a fan of PP but how is the hypocritical? He isn’t even related by blood to this relative it isn’t Hypocritical unless he actual has defended this relative staying in Canada.

Mall traffic has been declining for decades. It’s not like I haven’t gone into one every few years to look around… The last time I purchased something there was dress cloths for work, and maybe some dress shoes.

NOTHING about those stores has kept up with the times or trends, they just kind of kept falling more and more into disrepair as time went on…

It isn’t even US competitors, a lot of what they sell I would go elsewhere to Canadian options for anyway.

I am more likely to purchase furniture and appliances from The Brick or Trail Appliances.

The Bay or HBC was decades over due for a complete overhaul of its assortment and its retails space.

FYI the Kirkland Signature 2-ply is labels made in Canada with domestic and imported materials. (obviously less Canadian than going with a Canadian brand but still made here)

Good thing as a Canadian I don’t care what Americans THINK of us too much. They value their independence so do we.

But ublock origin lite is by the same dev… Not as many features but it conforms to the new rules and is still much better than not having a blocker if you use chrome or edge.

Pamela O’Rourke says cannabis products for chronic pain condition, though not prescribed

though not prescribed

Hard to believe that anyone travels the world without even doing a little research on laws… Even prescribed Dubai probably would have had issues with it.

It was only legalized semi recently in Canada, it is even still a problem if you try and take it to the US as there are challenges there.

Edit: to be clear I feel sorry for them but also really not surprised or outraged… This is the expected outcome of brining a very controlled item into a country that has strict laws.

I generally agree, but also governments often don’t run services very efficiently

I think you need to go back to school humans are the APEX of endurance animals for walking on this planet. It is 100% within the physical norms of a human to walk all day… The romans marched almost halfway across the world on foot.

Edit:

Canada post workers walk between 17-22km a day and carry up to 30 pounds of mail https://www.ufcw.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31576&catid=9845&lang=en#%3A~%3Atext=Letter+carriers+perform+physically+demanding%2Cno+walk+in+the+park.

It sounds like a lot until you track activities of active people it is well within reason. A typical warehouse worker in a large warehouse will do similar however it is indoors.

Someone doing recreational back country hiking will also carry that much are walk further.

YES physically demanding but not really extreme for a human.

Chef requires essentially apprenticeship and repeated effort to become proficient at over a significant amount of time at that. Cook at a fast food place with a prescribed method of prep? Low skill but requires a small amount of time for a TEEN to become proficient at.

There are MANY jobs that do not require much skill, that I held in the past in my teens. Sure you suck at them for the first week or so but your skill in them often tops out fast as they are NOT really difficult to learn or train IE ideal for part time.

Retail SUCKs because of the people, but is NOT a “technically hard” to learn job.

Many jobs are PHYSICALLY difficult but NOT HARD TO LEARN.

Question do you think the following positions should all get the same pay have the same skill? Which require a greater investment in knowledge or training?

• Chef
• Line Cook
• Dishwasher
• Server
• Busser
• Bartender

I just don’t personally think mail delivery is anything but a part time level skill job.

Average Canada Post Mail Carrier hourly pay in Ontario is approximately $23.55, which is 7% above the national average.

As of December 1, 2024, the average annual pay for an elementary teacher in Ontario is $41,226, or about $19.82 per hour.

I have had Canada post delivery issues as well, particularly in the past they would just dash a pickup notice to my door INSTEAD of knocking or ringing a door bell for packages… I was CONSTANTLY going to the post office to pick things up that I WAS home for and could have received if they had rang the door bell or knocked even. It really comes down to the individual.

Everyone should be paid fairly but from the info so far I am not convinced the union demands are resonable in this case other than maybe the mat leave request.

No they want to have fewer part time, more full time and all new staff to have pensions.

To me, being a mailman is a hard job that requires a lot of physical and mental labour

It may be physically demanding but not a particularly skilled one… You have routes, you learn them you haul your load every day. Kind of like a bus driver, warehouse picker or even a retail staffer… This should be an entry level job geared to the young and able part time that you move on from later… Not a life long career with a pension.

I’m pretty reliant on Canada Post so I’d really like them to pay the workers what they’re owed.

OK but what is the difference between OWED and WANT? I was looking at listings for Canada post positions and they apparently already made living wages in most markets AND have pensions on top of that?

Without all the numbers it is speculation.

However Canada post is NOT tax payer funded it is a for profit entity that has been in a death spiral for quite some time not dealing or not being allowed to become more efficient while mail volume keeps dropping.
