'A lost opportunity': Alberta gives back $137M to Ottawa in unspent funds to clean up inactive wells

Jump

  • I worked out there a long time ago... A lot of the Alberta funding was just grants to companies to do the legally required bare minimum. Probably best it wasn't spent because nothing was done to earn it.

  • Not a protest. Just everyone, nation wide. Stops going to work. Until union dispute = companies are forced to accept union demands without reprisal.

  • And we don't even need "highspeed" just good night trains that can run on time and a lot of people would take it. Vancouver in 2 days with food and entertainment included? Hell yeah thats better than cattle class on AC.

    • Canada rejects CN Rail's request for binding arbitration in labor dispute

    Jump

  • The problem is management isnt willing to negotiate. Everything here is done in bad faith and they plan to use politics to force their way. All workers want is a cost of living wage; while CNR wants to cut EVERYTHING significantly. All from a company posting record profits.

    • Canada rejects CN Rail's request for binding arbitration in labor dispute

    Jump

  • Because the contract they are trying to shove through is nothing but bad for existing employees; and even worse for new ones. Huge cuts to benefits and pay, huge demands on extra working hours, shifts, and rotations; along with forcing any employee to move anywhere at any time with zero notice. All from a company posting record profits.

    The workers just want a 7% raise to keep up with inflation. Average salary is 45k unless super senior.

    Binding arbitration means at-least some of these horrendous measures would be forced.

    Strike is the only option and from what I've been hearing, management is just going to try to use the strike against them.

  • I just want to be able to afford both food and rent in the job I studied 7 years to achieve; not be under threat of being replaced by a know-nothing with fake credentials from another country because cheaper.

  • I never said you cant do it, but its going to suck and take forever.

  • you're the exception, not the norm. When I have to take the worktruck to BC its 12hr days stopping once for 200L. 3-4 day drive depending on the weather and borders. Simply can't do that in an electric and itll be a long time before the infrastructure is ready for it. Think thats an extreme circumstance? How about Ottawa from Toronto in 6hrs? thats a STRETCH with modern long range electrics. Quebec City, the Sue, Halifax? All one day drives with gas currently. Until that problem is solved; electric is a great city runner and not much more.
