Anyone hear any news about that 2500 a month top up for essential workers? The site just says more details will follow.

Also I dont know if every bank has it, but the CIBC app has an option under customer services where you give them the info, check an authorization box, and they'll set up CRA direct deposit for you :v: sure beats the gently caress out of that paper mail password thing what the gently caress

Some workplaces involved have sent out vague "this is coming! we don't know what it's gonna be like or when so please don't quit" messages, glad I could help (they're going to gently caress it up somehow)

A true renaissance man


Re firing with/without cause - I once sat next to my boss (who was a good boss, I'll add) as he dealt with a call from EI regarding a recently departed cook - "No, I put in 'fired with cause' because he was stealing from me. Yeah, stealing from me. I caught him in the act of taking things to his car and fired him on the spot. Ok, thanks."

It was that easy. In this case it was true.

Lol a bunch of people tried to start a support are cops thing here in NS because that one cop was killed in the shooting, but it was way overshadowed by news that the RCMP knew the shooter's location well enough to tell the fire department not to respond to a house fire the shooter started, but then also did literally nothing for four hours while the shooter hunted down and killed unsuspecting people. there was news of American dual citizens getting alerts of the shooting because the RCMP informed the american embassy before they informed the loving people they're supposed to be protecting. We have the Alert infrastructure and the one time they dont use it is while a shooter is massacring people. Meanwhile people are calling 911 and being told the police/fire department were on the way while whoops nope

And it loving sucks that the one cop that gave enough of a poo poo about people to do her job was rewarded by getting shot because none of the other cops showed up to help her or anyone else. God loving I'm mad

RCMP is gonna get away with not answering a lot of important questions about this incident, since everyone is still freaking out about coronavirus too much to realize wtf even happened with it. Most people will just see AR-15s made prohibited and think justice is served and violence is now solved.

Honestly it might have been more than four hours, I got that from an interview with the brother of a victim. He said his brother went out to investigate a burning house to see if he could help, and later the guy went out to see what was taking his brother so long. Guy comes across his dead brother and hears a gunshot whizz past him so he bolts into the woods and hides in the underbrush and calls 911. Dude said he could see the shooter's flashlight as the shooter was hunting him down, but eventually gave up.

Buddy waited in the woods for four hours expecting the police or fire department to show up any second, and just nothing. He didnt say how long it took the cops to actually show up after that. God knows how many lives would have been saved by a simple "lock your doors and stay inside" alert

There was also apparently an incident where two RCMP drove up, got out, and unloaded their mags on a fire department that wasnt even in the area the shooter was at? :psyduck: like this whole thing is such a gently caress up on an astonishing level

The Czapnik parade-and-funeral was actually very good, except for the part about the RCMP showing up to it. Bit of an odd choice, considering the well-liked guy we were mourning was killed by one of the many gravel road cops who'd been tormented into insanity by his own colleagues and then set loose on the rest of the world.

Well and the part about how his kids had to publicly mourn on a literal stage. Not that they weren't fantastic speakers, but still holy poo poo why would you put them through that?

That was another weird one. The official story iirc was that Czapnik was sitting in his cop car in the hospital parking lot when an ex-RCMP stabbed him to death unprovoked.

Turns out my recollection isn't any clearer, because the guy was profoundly hosed up in ways that should've made him incompatible with liberty, much less authority, long before he got a badge. He was in poo poo with supervisors, they clearly did nothing to help, then finally he snapped.. um.. snappeder and opted for suicide-by-cop by killing a total stranger from another organization :wtc:

I honestly stayed the gently caress away from all the news about the gunman (my mental health can only take so much) but I had an inkling someone hosed up when a few friends on Facebook who are...gulp...RCMP were tripping over themselves to show why no, what the cops did was right and the time they didn't say anything was normal and hey how are you going to know? Can't incite panic

It set off my bullshit alarm and hmmm yeah sounds about right

I wonder if you could justifiably refuse to work during business hours due to exposure to dumbshit customers and just cruise through the pandemic on nights, why are stores even open to the public? reroute employees to filling orders, allow customers to place orders at the front door to someone in a loving moon suit and then just shotput their groceries into the parking lot

you can legally refuse unsafe work in Ontario. i imagine the definition of "unsafe" would have to be determined in a court of law, after someone gets fired for refusing to show up at Wal-Mart cashier job
