I work for a smedium sized credit union. A small town just had its largest employer close up shop. Borderline economic catastrophe. The emails we got discussing "how do we help account holders and 'not become a compounding burden' for existing loans" waives/deferments etc. Its rather heartwarming.

Congrats to Justin on getting “It is more important than ever that we...get our shit together" as an on-the-record quote from a sitting MLA published by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

And to honour the day, every Canadian gets a month off work and an all-expenses-paid trip to Ottawa.

The BCCP infighting is delicious. More pls

HMMMMMMMMM🤔 (i dont bank with rbc)

Im having flashbacks to when I was 10 and on my last day of school before moving away all the kids whom I thought were my friends told me the teachers made them talk to me and they actually hated me the whole time and were happy theyd never see me again....

More proof that the province of BC is doing AMAZING work when it comes to recruiting American healthcare workers... a member of our Healthcare Infusion community sent me this... B.C. literally bought THE ENTIRE FRONT COVER of the U.S. nurses' main monthly magazine. 🤣 OMG I LOVE IT

My boss? Good dude. His boss? Also good at her job. *some facless schmucks VPs: Mostly good people who care about the firm and not just "number go up". *There is a middle layer of management here that is OUT OF THEIR GOURD INSANE and probably shouldnt exist. The. Meeting. We. Had. Yesterday.

The thing is whatever thing you think doesn't exist in media is probably in magic story

And still, there are those who say that Americans can’t do irony.

Im not suprised by crap Carney did this week. But i continue to be infuriated that "the conservative platform, but without the maga neonazi culture war." Was the "acceptable" option and remains rather popular in the grand scheme of things You have a wide berth @avilewis.ca et all. We are watching

WELCOME TO THE DAY OF MANY CALORIES YOU SHALL CONSUME YOU SHALL INGEST YOU SHALL HEAVE YOUR SWOLLEN BODY ONTO THE COUCH MOANING AS YOU DO SO BUT WAIT THERE'S STILL PIE

So 2026 is a bargaing year for us. We able to secure a 11.25%/3yr increase last round, while being financially in the red due to forces beyond our operational controll. We're paid comissions and auto rate drops occured.📉 We are VERY not broke this time. More.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Please never bank at a place that is "proudly self serve". There *WILL* be a problem at some point and there is "proudly" no one to help you. How do these "no fee" places make money? I asked. Their loan rates are abhorent.🙃

MagicCon promo for next year...omg.

“I asked ChatGPT” “I asked Claude” I asked this horseshoe crab and he said your ass wouldn’t have lasted two seconds in the Triassic

Excellent fish too

This tastes EXACTLY like buttered popcorn. That is not a bad thing. But I have no clue how they did it????????

Puppy has met his mortal nemesis a 5 year old.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Spent 45 minutes on hold so someone could remove a hold from the clients account so that I could collect SEVENTEEN DOLLARS. Very billable hours. Much revenue. Wow.

Oh smile cookie season. Dont. Just dont. Youre not supporting a small business. Youre not helping your community. Tims is a foreign owned real estate scam, as is all fast food, and you should donate directly to the foodbank/whatever charity the cookies proceeds supposedly to go to.

Ohhhh 2026 Vacation picking is occurring. I get to see how badly my colleagues fuck me over every year. 30 weeks of PTO ahead of me. "No overlaps" going forward because I'm literally the only one who didnt clock weeks of sick time last year. Too many unplanned absences to have several planned ones.

Methodology

Manager thought I was 21. Lmao

We now have at least 5 managers with the same name. Dawn, Dawne, and Don. Etc. Its like HR has a secret bingo game going on.

Vancouver wins "Least Worst Public Transit" award ninth year in a row

Hello, 911? Yes, I'd like to report a murder.

The one day weekend to balance out the four day weekend suuuuuuuuuuucks.

The people of BC DO NOT UNDERSTAND how bad the private auto insurance market is and how good we have it by comparison.

Y’all have got to stop trying to teach people magic with edh

Ban secondary property ownership. Strip it away. You can own your home. You cannot own "their" home. Ditto for commercial. Unit occupant=unit owner.

And not only is that a pleasant email, I can almost feel Beej and whoever else was on this procurement team cheering. @loadingreadyrun.com

Due to the BCGEU strikes, my little office had a flood of out of towners as we were the closest licensing office not behind a picket line. Had a couple come back from several towns over to see me specifically for their vehicle stuff when theres dozens of places closer. Honestly rather flattered.

Thats about what I expected. The national average is 10 sick days over a year. Under that, stay home and rest. Over that, employer maintains the option of getting some documentation.

Turn based combat

Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash. He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

It sounds rather twee I know, but my excitement to move to Nanaimo is mostly because Qualicum, while lovely, is a small retirement community catering to the wealthy. 9k people, and golf courses near 7 figure cottages... Nanaimo has more than 10x the people, and theres stuff to do if youre under 70.

I found the only comment on the High Tide ban that matters:
