  • Vacation Time

    Jump

  • Yeah it's pretty shit. My province only recently made it a requirement to provide a minimum of 5 paid sick days to full time staff due to COVID.

    Part timers I believe only get 3 / year.

    Canada is the middleman for everything on the scale of the States being far to one side of the scale and EU being the opposite side, Canada usually sits somewhere in the middle.

    Jump

  • In Canada you only get 4 weeks after you have worked for the same company/organization for ten years. You only get 3 weeks after 5 years.

    Get a new job after 8 years? Start all over with 2 weeks vacation.

  • Oh nooooooo

    Jump

  • I think we have. In my area many deer during hunting season spend the time within city limits where it's illegal to fire guns. I am pretty sure they've figured it out.

  • The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing

    Jump

  • Honestly I've always just put it down to another fault of the English language being weird. There should be a more concise word for a singular person where the gender is not defined, but there just isn't so people use "they".

    It's acceptable to me if the number of people isn't known but in your case of the doctor I would not find it ideal but acceptable just because there isn't another proper word if you don't want to / can't use the word he/she.

    To me in an ideal world They would strictly be for multiple people or an unknown number, and another word for those who don't identify as he/she or for cases where gender isn't relevant like title professions and whatnot.

  • Ottawa sees dramatic drop in speed compliance after photo radar scrapped

    Jump

  • Absolutely, I have driven with my boss enough to know that he absolutely does not know what a safe speed is.

    Especially when a safe speed for you when you were 40 is probably not the same speed when you are 60 but you are used to driving that way.

  • Enforcement is the issue. If you see everyday on your drive to work dozens of vehicles using the HOV lane when they aren't allowed to, and only ever see a cop pulling someone over once every 4-6 months, how often before you also start using the HOV lane when you aren't supposed to?

  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • I guess that's where you and I differ. I see it as somewhat of a downside, letting a single or a few individuals dictate what everyone on the instance should or shouldn't see. I much prefer individuals having the choice to block what they don't wish to see.

    An instance can be federated over a single unity and then people wouldn't be able to access many other communities that were neutral/okay on that instance.

  • how many of you work 50% and can finance a life on your own?

    Jump

  • Could you go 50% and then use the free time to create some sort of side business?

  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • Individuals could still block them, no?

  • ICE could easily make an account on Mastodon, would they get pissed if that happened too?

  • Why aren’t there more Indigenous foods in 'Canadian' grocery stores?

    Jump

  • There's a "chain" in BC that's owned and run by first Nations, only three locations that I'm aware of but it's in three different cities..

    It's pretty decent, almost like a cross between Starbucks and Tim Hortons, but with a first Nations theme to it.

    Instead of doughnuts they serve bannock with flavours like Saskatoon berry frosting or apple cinnamon. It's very good.

    They also have great coffee.

    For food they have stuff like bannock with bowls of salad with various meats like salom or venison. I usually try to eat there at least once for lunch when I'm passing through one of those cities.

  • On Biblical "Morality"

    Jump

  • I mean, didn't the Romans crucify Jesus within the Roman Empire? Is she saying the Romans had full authority to murder Jesus so it's all good?

  • So its shit like this why RAM costs are up 500% or more?

  • Trump says any country doing business with Iran will face 25% U.S. tariff

    Jump

  • Who the fuck doesn't have at least that much tariffs already?

  • Trump says anything less than having Greenland in the United States’ hands is ‘unacceptable’

    Jump

  • Most Trump supporters probably can't even name more than 10 non-english speaking countries that aren't Mexico, Russia or China, and one their answers would probably be "Africa".

    International politics doesn't even come close to their thought processes during election time.

  • I wouldn't mind tearing up the existing walls if it meant not having to grind up the concrete foundation to keep a 36" opening. The fridge I bought had to be brought down those stairs so getting it out will probably require going back up them lol.

    I think tearing out the wall on the left would be ideal and then building the door jamb into the wall to keep it a 36" opening would be the best option.

    Thanks!

    I'll probably take out the red part and expand the door jamb to fill the green section

  • “This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked online

    Jump

  • I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I do disagree with your reasoning

    Personally I don't vote for what affects my life in the most positive way, because that seems a little selfish although it's understandable.

    I vote for what I believe affects everyone's life more positively, even if it's not necessarily a benefit to my specific situation. I might not be gay but I would vote for the candidate who supports gay marriage vs the one that might give me a $1000 check for tariff profits.
