This is true in Canada also except for the 5 weeks auto vacations. Many Swedish companies also have the 6 hour work day. North America should do this.

Idaho? Is this to protect America from themselves or the evil militia of Waterton National Park in Alberta?

I just feel the whole point of being here is to share your opinion and consider the value of others opinions. (Despite how weak their opinion might be 😊)

A few years ago, somebody came up with the idea of Email Amnesty Day, when we'd all reset our inboxes to zero and exercise extend patience, forgiveness, and charity toward one another as we all cleared out our backlogs and started afresh. This impractical idea never took off, but…I sure wish it had.

Canada’s new government is starting Automatic Federal Benefits. We’re going to pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians, so they get the benefits they are entitled to — money that would otherwise be left unclaimed.

Consider posting some items of your own. This way the hoi palloi knows exactly where you stand. From this Marks viewpoint the 3 policies appear to be investments in basic humanity.

Good piece but make no mistake, she now knows that she will get annihilated in any kind of referendum. Her recent tirades have zero credibility in the overwhelming majority of Albertan

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

This is off topic Blayne but I wonder if you saw today that Fascist Carney making the child lunch program permanent. Sometimes you abuse your knowledge for unknown purposes. As an educator surely you know that objectivity "trumps" a personal belief system

PM Carney on the National School Food Program:

"No child should go to school hungry or sit in a classroom all day wondering where their next meal will come from... Until today, this program was a pilot..so, we're announcing we'll move forward with the funding and legislation to make it permanent."

Just a reminder to all of our Canadian young women who might want to consider a career in trades- first, you CAN do this! Second there are organizations like Build a Dream if you’re looking for a way to start investigating.
