I think Doug Ettinger is purposely mismanaging CP to make you think that way which benefits his private interest- Purolator.

The link between CP and Purolator is very fishy. Is Doug E purposely tanking CP to help Purolator grow?

This new policy needs to be fixed ASAP.

“This interpretation of who is an Ontarian excludes immigrant physicians in Ontario who are permanent residents, or Canadian citizens"

#OnHealth #OnPoli

While other provinces have implemented similar residency policies, Atlin said they have taken more inclusive approaches. New Brunswick, for example, has restricted its international medical graduate residency streams to those with a “proven connection” to the province by requiring at least six months of having lived in the province.

“This interpretation of who is an Ontarian excludes immigrant physicians in Ontario who are permanent residents, or Canadian citizens, from a fair chance to compete for the designated IMG residency positions,” she said. “Our health care system loses out on the chance to benefit from their much-needed skills and experience.”

#Breaking: Premier Doug Ford’s government doled out $126 million in training cash to 64 firms that used lobbyists to push poorly rated applications, which is “not fair, transparent, or accountable,” the auditor general found.

Canada had postal banking for over a hundred years until 1968 when the U.S. stopped theirs...

Over 100 nations globally have successful postal banking.

But, over decades our federal governments have been trying to decimate Canada Post to privatize it.

Paying someone to do something they already enjoy can actually make them enjoy it less - a finding known as the overjustification effect (or motivation paradox).

I think of it as layers of protection. A mask is good, but add the vaccine and a purifier and you have the best protection. In public places we can’t expect the purification so 2 out of 3…
