Does he carry it around in his back seat?
Ha, I hope he is not and that he is gone for good.
Ya, no, that is nasty.
Yes, I have gotten some nasties lately. Sure puts a damper on the experience.
Working from home should not ever have been a child care arrangement to begin with. You are either working or caring for you children.
One family member's team does go in 2 to 3 days a week. But they don't. They have a meeting and drive in during work hours, often late, have their meeting and then leave to drive home during work hours. Go in for a mandatory day and then leave at noon.
Family time and child care are not valid reasons people should be at home to work. Child care, getting kids off the bus, giving them snacks, driving them to activities, distracted by them does not make for a productive work environment.
More traffic during rush hour, less traffic on the road all day long. Perhaps the city can decentralize some of their offices, it is possible that is already in the plans. Not all city employees work downtown. Their are offices and hubs all over. We have a library and a service centre out here.
As a councillor it is incumbent on you to advocate for the city to improve the transit system. There are city employees throughout the city, not just the core.
What compensation do the 85% of city workers who already work on site get in lieu of the savings the wfh crew realize? Should wfh salaries be adjusted accordingly?
There will be jobs in complete communities, perhaps the City will put in some offices in different communities. There already are. People can shop in their communities in off work hours and wkends. Really, most people drive into Costco. We have a service hub out where I live, and a library.
I really don't enjoy all those wfh workers on the roads all day long. Coffee shops will follow the workers wherever they go.
And to support the aging population. Demographics 101. Or, maybe Pierre would like women to start paying attention to their biological clocks ticking and start pumping out more children?

As did I through the pandemic and for a period after so I do understand. It really is nice to stay home particularly when close to retirement, after years in the workforce. I agree that it is not viable in the long term.
I am looking forward to less cars on the road once all the workers are back in the office. Rush hour will be the pits but there will be less people driving around all day. Using wfh as a substitute for childcare is wrong. Women suffering domestic violence are more at risk in wfh.
I am so sick of him using single moms as an example all the time. I was a single mom, a successful woman and have raised a successful family. Did much better than many with 2 parents. I do not like this labelling of single moms as less than. Stop it.
7.49 at Independent (Loblaws) and 6.49 at Metro for a package. You really have to watch the prices, Loblaws is generally more but 1.00 more on a small item?? Stock up when you see a sale. You have to have chocolate chip cookies!
I see now, the headline would suggest this! Good catch.
No, that is incorrect. Those employees always had to be onsite obviously. As are front line workers in rec centres, client service centres etc. 85% already work onsite. It means people who's normal worksite is in an office or similar and that have been wfh would be required to be on site 5 days.
Well there is also if you don't work hard, you get a great paycheck and a nice home fully paid by taxpayers. And you can even rent out a couple of homes for a tidy investment. Maybe your wife can even get an apartment in Montreal.
Gawd he is ugly.
/2 Pierre will likely be even driving one (if he isn't already). Look forward to seeing that picture!
The world is moving toward green energy, as technology improves EV's will become more appealing. With higher production and hopefully incentives, costs go down. Gas is only going up. In 5 - 10 years the naysayers will find EV's appealing. No one is making you, you will likely want to get one.
Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Carlos Santanos, Meatloaf. The music was the best.
Early days of Bruce Springsteen, Men at Work, Eric Clapton, oh I could go on, loads of good blues, Downchild, Moody Blues.....
The head of the most powerful nation on earth (or what once was), and the holder of the nuclear codes is spending his time coming up ideas like painting walls black to make them too hot for immigrants to climb. And the people that work for him are doing it.
Reality 👇 #cdnpoli
/2 There is no we are back, your husband has wangled his way back and now must face the leadership convention. Hopefully the CPC has the good sense to elect a new leader. And then "we" can find a new purpose in life.
No, it is not "we". Her husband is back after parachuting into a conservative strong hold. He was voted OUT by Canadians, by his own riding...2
I do not like Anaida Poilievre, I do not like women like Anaida Poilievre.
Funnier? So much better.
And that creepy feeling that the spider is now on you.
Yuck, he is going to come back so pumped up it will be unbearable.
No, he knows full on what he is saying. He is letting her know that she better keep quiet if she wants to keep the trade deal. It has nothing to do with kids.
He is insane. Insane. The white house is under the control of an insane person.
He is insane, that is all. There is an insane person in control of the White House.
/2 The oil and gas sector is so volatile now who knows how much gas prices will rise.
No one is making EVs mandatory, more like phasing them in. You don't have to sell your car now to buy one. As gas prices keep rising people will be happy to look at EVs. As technology advances they will be more appealing and practical. ...2
But why would Putin tell Trump that he plans to use nuclear weapons?
"you know I am not the real Putin, say anything and you will look like a bigger fool than you already are. Vladimir sent me here to tell you in person that he has an original copy of the Epstein files, amongst other things, in case they are needed. Now, we would like you too......"
I keep hoping he has read the narcissist handbook and is handling Trump accordingly. I hope he understands what he is dealing with and does have a strategy. I hope.
/2 As long as they are Canadian babies...not Albertan babies.😉
There is nothing shameful about being able to have babies. Many women would like more but can't afford too. A financial incentive to help families support more children is good. Quebec had (or has) one. There are good books on demographics that will show why.
They have made many similar comments about her husband. This is about the fact they are living in on the tax payers money.
/2 and information bearers and sharers too, non fiction stories told through learning, fact, research, experience. (as I curl up with a great psychology book on a Saturday night).
As long as there are storytellers there will be books. Readers of books and their stories is another thing.
repost. fly on the wall, you know I am not really Putin but if you say anything it will expose you as a bigger fool than you already are. Oh by the way, President Putin sent me here to tell you personally that he has a copy of the original Epstein files, and other things to keep on hand if needed.

If that is true then the real tell is in the forehead. Unless it is just bad lighting in the video with Trump you can see the difference clearly. Watch them both and watch the forehead.
Maybe he has been spending time at that penguin island he tariffed.
Okay, the press are doing their job but it must be sickening to be that room watching this.
Family members went t a cottage at a lake last night and said they had a bonfire. I asked isn't there a fire ban? They said yes, but it was just a little fire, just to make a few things toasty and they made sure they put it out. That is why people aren't allowed in the woods.
BRC should vote him out in hopes that the CPC will get a new leader. They need one. BRC needs a good representative, vote for Bonnie.
He will get ousted at the leadership convention and BRC will be stuck with him.
I never gave mine up.
And the CPC needs a new leader. This will force them into making that decision should he lose.
Family members were at a cottage last evening. They said they had a bonfire. I asked isn't there a fire ban? Oh yes they said, we just had a little one, just to make some things toasty and we made sure it was out. That is why people aren't allowed to go into the woods and trails.
Canada is moving from reliance to resilience. We're investing to strengthen our industrial capacity, protect our workers, speed up nation-building projects, and grow an economy that serves all Canadians.
But why would they give it to Russia. I haven't figured that out yet.
I would go back to the mid 70's, even better. I remember how we all used to meet up and everyone would be there. How did we all know to meet up? Can't remember how we did it but I was there for sure!
Hopefully there is a compassionate group out there right now getting a least some of them to some kind of safety.

Small little man, I hope they vote him OUT like we did here in Carleton.
That was part of it but there are a lot of convoy supporters here in this riding (Carleton). It was more than just that. Bruce Fanjoy did a stellar job of showing that he actually cared and would work for and in his riding. People just did not want Pierre as MP or as PM. Period.
I hope Alberta votes him out. He really doesn't care about them. They deserve better. I hope Alberta sticks around, I like Alberta, I have lived in Alberta. I order a lot of cool things online from Alberta. I hope they remain part of a strong united Canada.
We all need to do it here in Ottawa too Let's get dancing!
They kinda are irrelevant already. Let's hope BRC keeps it that way. We voted him out here in Carleton.
Do the right thing BattleRiverCrowfoot. We voted him out here in Carleton, don't let that be for nothing.
Demented old man feeling his oats this morning.
Demented looking old man.
Should have thought of that before she started the $10 million dollar party.
That is beyond disgusting at soooo many levels. Sad, sad excuse for a woman.
Pierre and his family having the Albertan cowboy experience. They don't want to be there, won't be there for you. Don't be fools in Battleford-Crowfoot.
Quit negotiating with him. We have given him enough. It is time he came to us.
Arrogant and just plain rude. And he still does this after he lost both the federal election and his riding. He still thinks he deserves to be there and that everyone who voted him OUT are wrong. Unbelievable.
When did you ever hear Pierre talking about Canola oil before?
little starched collar man saying it would be the "privilege of his life" to represent these people. Don't be fools, he did not give a rat's a** about you and your problems before and he doesn't now. Desperation is dripping off of him. Don't be fools.
Brian comes on the radio, the radio goes off.
He lives in Stornoway ffs! I hope the people of Battleford-Crowfoot prove they aren't suckers.
He is not going to be PM and he is not interested in the people of Battle River-Crowfoot. They would be wise to vote him and send a message to the CPC that it time for a new leader.
Nah, we had a long ballot here in Carleton and he lost.
The most important election in Canadian history? For who, for you Pierre? You are fighting for me and every single Canadian? No Pierre, you are only fighting for yourself. The rest of us voted you OUT.
It is all alphabetical. Her name won't be hard to find. We had it in Carleton and he still lost. C comes way before P so I hope people stop there.
I really wish women wouldn't walk around with those disgusting signs. Trump is evil but this is not the way to go about it.
Maybe he will buy a home and go live there he is so damn proud of the place.
Can we all each bring one mother and starving child here until this is over. Can we do something, I have food, I can share.
/3And cases like that have been tried successfully. This unfortunately will be a bad example for sex assault cases going forward..
/2There is a lot to be ashamed of. If there had of been any indication of EM asking to leave, asking them to stop, saying no, trying to get out, been passed out drunk, then this would have been a whole different case.
This was around consent and the verdict was based on that. These men are guilty of debauchery, if it was a crime. I hope they don't feel validated because they are still gross human beings.
I would have been out of there the minute the second guy showed up. Period.
Yes, and that is the very sad outcome of this trial. There is no validation for their behaviour but they may feel it as will others of their kind.
The key word here is should. But it isn't like that. Your dad would have been wiser to say don't put yourself in a position where you find yourself dead drunk, passed out and naked in the street. Until men change, just don't.
These men are guilty of debauchery. The woman didn't have a case. The judge made the only ruling she could. I am concerned that they will feel some validation from the outcome, which the shouldn't. They are pigs, lowlife pigs. fyi I am a survivor and believe in justice for sexual predators.
The 10 million dollar party. Until they shut the funds down that is.
