With their all or nothing attitudes towards winning and bullying they should be pursuing much better paying jobs like selling enterprise software or politics.

Not the intended spirit of Guy Fawkes night, I gather, but it's a good occasion to burn some poo poo.

I didn't see anyone else mention it here, so I might as well. Back in 2019 one of Bumbles' campaign promises was to set an inquiry to look into foreign interference and funding of "Anti Oilsands Activity." In his words “a UCP government would immediately pursue an aggressive legal strategy to hold the Tar Sands Campaign funders to account for what they have done to our province.” After 2 years, $3.5 million, and I'm sure, many, many "working" lunches and dinners their conclusion:  quote:"There is no doubt that these campaigns have occurred in an environment of reduced investment in oil and gas projects, at least since 2014 when global oil prices fell by almost half and other economic factors were at play. While buried on page 596 I think this was the main point: quote:“I agree that, on its own, the label “anti-Alberta” or “anti-Albertan”, is not helpful or constructive; it does not reflect the objectives or work of this Inquiry,” TL;DR The big scary foreign parties spent money on environmentalist causes around Alberta, not necessarily exclusively against the oilsands (the $1.3 billion of foreign money for “Canadian-based” environmental groups from 2003 to 2019 includes $429 million that went to Ducks Unlimited Canada, for example) and that hurts the poor oil companies' and UCP's feelings. And that's sad.  But it's not illegal. I'm sounding like a broken record here, but in any other provincial government this would have been the final nail in their coffin. It was telling that neither Kenney nor the report's lead author Allen were at the press conference announcing the conclusions, just the Energy Minister Sonya Savage, who stumbled her way through the questions, including one from the New York Times: https://twitter.com/CBCFletch/status/1451257492990676994 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/anti-alberta-energy-campaign-public-inquiry-final-report-1.6218861 https://www.theprogressreport.ca/after_2_years_3_5_million_dollars_allan_inquiry_finds_definitive_proof_of_hurt_feelings_but_not_much_else So all of that, for something a 9th grader could whip up over the course of a couple of weeks armed with a netbook and Google. Yay. For that we paid $3.5 million.

kaom posted:“How old are you now” happened all the time for me, but only in French (I did not know there was an English version at all until this very moment). French immersion in BC (northern and coastal), the kids in the program would sing this at non-immersion kids’ parties too. Ahh my grade four French teacher would sing that when a kid had a birthday. For the last 25 years I wondered what it was.

So, uh, we're not renewing the CRB but we are planning on handing millions in targeted subsidies to businesses? The CWLB at least acknowledges that it might be literally impossible for some people to go to work in the next few months, I guess.

Same. I heard the counting a few times, but it stopped after one or two because it was obviously a joke. I think I had a teacher or something that actually did count up. Pretty sure everyone has a teacher in elementary school that usually goes a bit overboard with enthusiasm.

This is so loving dumb poo poo basically felt like normal with reduced capacity and cases are dropping. Watch poo poo just completely reverse over something as trivial as "a few more people in restaurants".

Arc Hammer posted:Gonna be interesting to see how many restaurant workers get crushed under the full capacity with half staff. I wouldnt be surprised to see a second exodus of retail and restaurant staff. Most places never bothered to replace the initial losses of staff and none that I know of increased worker pay or benefits for the ones that remained. Its basically on an identical path that the trucking industry hit last year and we can already see how that is working out.

It's not surprising to me that the capacity limits are dropping shortly after the announcement that the CRB is ending in favour of targeted benefits for lockdown affectees. The provinces really, really want to get people back to work and think that people will be leaping at the chance for low income employment if they're not getting a government payout. I think it's going to smack them hard when more people leave the service industry from burnout unless the sector makes an effort to improve employee benefits.

Once again I'm just speaking anecdotally, but, LMAO what capacity limits? It was a slow trickle but we've increasingly had more and more people sit in for dining and it gets really packed on weekends. People were hesitant at first with the vaccine passport stuff but they got used to it and now it's packed as it was pre-COVID. I picked a good time to take some time off at least.

Arc Hammer posted:Gonna be interesting to see how many restaurant workers get crushed under the full capacity with half staff. Maybe it's different in some areas, but for the most part the restaurants in my downtown Toronto neighbourhood aren't getting anywhere close to the number of patrons where their capacity would make a difference. There are a few trendy places where that doesn't seem to be the case, but I'd say like 80% of the places look pretty dead. I don't think that raising capacity limits on restaurants is going to make a big difference at this point, it seems like a lot of people are still not back to going out. And with tourism still likely dead for a while, I don't see where these restaurant-goers are going to come from all of a sudden. IMO the restaurant lobby is just screaming about capacity limits so that they have something to blame the loss in revenues on that isn't a massive drop in demand.
