Just discovered that @nsgov.bsky.social is forcing everyone back to work in office full time. Bargaining employees were able to keep their work from home days, but as of April 2026, everyone will be in office full time.
This is so short-sighted.

"The minister also said that while Canada Post is a vital institution, it hasn't been profitable for seven years."
Therein lies the problem. This should be a public service, not a business. There is no need for profits and big bonus' for execs.

While this study was in Wales, it's implications are world-wide. Esp in Canada, and NS, kids aren't being taught HOW to learn. They learn why it's important to learn, they learn strategies to solve equations, but no one helps them find out how each individual learns. And that's a problem 1/5
