    Genuine question... did you read the actual offer and more importantly, did you understand it? Dymamic routing - it's something that CP is refusing to budge on. Basically, they want to adjust route lengths on a daily basis. If it's a light day, you may end up walking 30km, and people at the...

    So… CP has rejected CUPW’s offer of postponing the strike. They want CUPW to accept it as is, without proper scrutineering. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/canada-post-rejects-union-s-offer-to-delay-potential-strike/ar-AA1FdQds?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=fc1dd4c754b04871974b6cc6bcbf2909&ei=68

    Last I heard, it hasn't been delivered yet. Could have been during my commute home (started at 4am). CUPW offered to suspend strike action for at least 2 weeks pending CP sending an offer in today. Me, I've only got 4 years, 7 months seniority. I'll be one of the first ones out the door if CP...

    Technically, it's the same strike. We were forced back to work with the gov't mandate ending on the 22nd. As for being slimy, CP has walked away from the table 3x. Leaving CUPW sitting there for hours on end wondering if CP was coming back. They didn't. CP has also broken the CBA (was...

    Actually, from what I understand, CUPW offered up weekend assignments for regular posties making non-overtime wages. Volunteer position. After that, it goes to casual workers who are desperate for hours…

    Covid Vacs

    Read the link supplied by TwistedKestrel with AN OPEN MIND. It seems to me you've gone down the far right misinformation pipeline and have swallowed it whole. The main docs being interviewed are basically Q-Anon - Ivermectin cures Covid! Absolutely piles of horse poop. I know, sometimes...

    So far it's a bit more interesting than MotoGP this year!

    So, for anyone who streams using ServusTV, I ran into a new predicament for the first time today…. They’ve changed their coding somehow or another - if you’re using an Apple product, you cannot cast the stream to another device (TV, AppleTV etc). Tried it with the iPad and with the desktop...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    If all you want is a conversation starter pick up a Yamaha Niken. Buddy of mine loved the bike but hated the attention.

    I hear you… Some people don’t care about their lawn being walked on, others do. If I ever walk across a person’s lawn, it’s usually only after they have told me it’s OK to do so, and then I always take a slightly different path so I’m not stomping on the same blades of grass every day etc.

    Simply put up a sign saying "Please stay off the grass." Done deal. They walk across it again, call in a complaint. Letter carrier will get ******* at. Keep reporting it as necessary. After 3rd report LC will be suspended without pay for a week.

    MotoGP 2025 Discussion Thread *Warning: Spoilers allowed*

    I’m hoping that WSS and WSBK are more competitive this year. From what we’ve seen in MotoGP so far, it’s going to be somewhat of a boring season. Same guys, same bikes at the top. Hopefully Martin can gel with the Aprilia quickly and get on par/better than Ogura within 2 race weekends. He’s...

    That’s the problem… I’m not experienced in the trades. I’ve done a bunch of home renovations including plumbing, electrical, knocking down walls, drywalling etc. But I wouldn’t say I can hold a candle to a proper tradesperson.

    Interesting idea. But they would all need to have proper level 2 security checks etc. Delivering registered mail, passports etc.

    I’m getting old… 55 in April… don’t know how many trades would be interested in hiring someone my age.
