  • There is a small international conference for a new standardization treaty including America, the UK, France, Spain, and Germany.

    This being mostly a working group, the decision was made to do everything as a web conference, but during set-up the American is have some difficulties getting thier webcamera to work. After a short IT visit the American asks "Howdy, can everyone see me?" To which the remainder reply "Yes", "oui", "si", "ja".

    • Never wait in the school car line again. Here’s how. For the first time in decades, a small but critical mass of children are riding their bikes safely to school again in the US.

  • And what do you think is causing the dumbass behaviours?

  • School drop offs increase danger to children.

    A joint study released by York University, The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto cites dangerous drop-offs on the opposite side of the road, cars stopped blocking traffic and double parking as cause for concern regarding the rise in collisions

    We observed that in 88 per cent of the schools that we went to look at and with each additional behaviour it put kids at a 45 per cent increased risk of having a pedestrian collision

    Of course the best mitigation measure:

    If you can, walk your kids to school. Let your kids walk to school. The more kids walk, the fewer cars, the less chance of one of them being hit by those cars

  • Slowing appreciation below inflation is depreciation/losing value. It's a hard tagert to nail, but if we can keep the needle between static price and inflation; we're doing well.

    They'd not only lose money on their life savings, they'd be trapped, unable to ever move without paying even more money, or filing bankruptcy if they don't have more money to lose.

    This already happens, we just don't hear about it. And we normally blame the homeowner for falling into a preditory trap.

    Also the building envelope and internals IS a depreciating asset, always has been. It takes effort to maintain it.

    Right now it's just the land values rocketing so high that on many places the crack shacks sitting on top depreciates slower than land value increases. So people's homes are still losing money, it's just the land underneath them goes up faster.

  • Devaluing them in a deliberate and controlled manner is much better then waiting for a crash.

    Jump

  • You can round it to 10's or 5's.

    My licence says 183 cm. I'll usually say 180.

    Edit: so the cartoon guy would probably just say 190cm

    • Daycare says Ontario's funding model threatens it with closure

    Jump

  • Sure, but you would think an employer that directly benifts from unionisation can absolutely help their employees organise and reduce the normal anti-unionisation hurdles.

    • provide organisation literature
    • include management in the union
    • provide support for union activities
    • have good communication with any union starts
    • provide PD days or time for union activities

    Jump

  • While centres with unionized staff are eligible for that funding to cover pay hikes in collective agreements, daycares like Sunnyside Garden where staff are not unionized cannot use it to cover wage increases.

    So unionize your workers?
