Not a good way to negotiate for sure. Did the government have a counter at that point or just refusing to even talk about the crazy ask in the beginning?

I could be wrong on this, but was not CUPE pretty adamant about their initial demand? I remember hearing on some talk radio that at the starting point they refused to accept anything but the outrageously high demand they had which then set thing spiralling towards strike territory.

agreeable neighbours of what? They all have fire pits as do most people in town. Houses on the side, houses on the back, they all have fire pits without spark screens.

Not sure what you mean?

All the neighbours around me have fire pits, as do most many people in the community. Mine is probably one of the few that actually has the space and is not pushing up against a fence. Bylaws are there or should be there for things like disturbing the peace, if you just don't like fires then...

People have been having fires in their backyards for years and there is no crazy outbreak of issues regarding this. Most people in town are doing it illegally as they are not aware of the bylaws and few of them have 50 square feet to get a permit with the old bylaw. How far are we willing to...

I did hear back from the fire inspector I was contacting and when cooking the spark screen is not needed. I plan on being a slow eater and a slow roaster of hot dogs! Looking forward to getting some fires in soon, missed it already this winter. Just need the screen to come in and to schedule an...

I opted for one like the image I posted earlier. Found an open box deal on it and the size is large, 36" and with 18". I am going to question if it is needed when cooking, I am assuming it won't be needed as they would have to be real specific on the type of spark screen you can use or they...

Really looking for something that is as close to not there as possible, I don't want a spark screen at all.

it has to be fully covered, this has a door that opens up half way. It slides down so if an inspector came a quick nudge of the foot and it would be fully covered. What it is supposed to be for is to let you roast a hot dog or marshmallow, something like that. Wonder if that would be a loop hole...

There has to be a spark screen on the fire, so can't have one beside the fire pit, has to be on. This is my last resort option if I can't make or find something cheaper that gives me as close to an open fire as possible.

You can buy that on amazon in various sizes, I would still need to fabricate something as it technically is supposed to be on all the time. Every time I deal or follow anything concerning bylaws it just gets so irritating!

So my small town has changed its back yard fire pit bylaw making it easier to get a permit. Previously you had to have 50 square feet of free space around the pit to get a permit. I was pretty happy with the change as I was close to having that space but not close enough, now I am well within...

I work in print and worked with a few candidates running in my area. It is always a fight for funds and the 2 that I dealt with personally did not get money from their party, they had to fundraise. One was complaining at how little their party helped the candidate and their campaign. But I have...

I completely agree, spending is out of control and many seem to think what has happened to Greece or other places can't happen to us. We think nothing off almost a billion dollars spent on an election that was completely unnecessary and only after 2 years since the last. Someone should compile...

It is a long game if you want a new party in. There is not going to be some sudden uprising of a new party that is going to take any meaningful position in Parliament. It will take a lot of time before they build up, gain credibility and get into a position where they can actual challenge the...

I would think it was they did not know who she was. How many sane people do you think would be able to work side by side with her if they knew what she had done? I had no clue what her new name was and would not be able to pick her out of a lineup.

I was reading about that earlier. Sounded like they did not know it was her as she goes by this other name now. Once they were informed she was no longer working with the school.

If the process is a bit much every 2 years than having the media constantly following her and reporting would basically be the same thing. I am guessing they don't want to hear either of their names let alone see articles about them. We have these rights and he was allowed to apply for appeal...

Did not think of using my iPhone, I will see if there is anything simple and free. I am swamped as is, one of our sales guys knew I had a 3D printer so brought it up, doing it more to help a client and keep relations so trying to offload the stuff I can't. If the iPhone is simple and works well...
