Then give in to their demands
Everyone knew the strike was coming. They should have gotten it done earlier
If you want to be successful financially, if you don’t want to be poor, stop saving and develop the high income stream by enrolling in the Elon giveaways
I think I am blessed because I couldn’t have met someone who is spectacular as expert Mr Elon musk’s, team I’ve made a lot of profits in the past few days
This is the kind of information that we don’t get from most Youtubers I will get in touch with him right away.
Trading bitcoin at this present stage of the market is just the best decision and thanks to Elon musk’s team whose strategies has kept me earning more and more Musk team if professionals gave me a basic understanding of the benefit of trading over holding especially in a speculative market. They provided me with their daily trading patterns, I was able to make a massive profit within a month
I’m very glad I stumbled on this today writing to him now. Really hope he can help me
I’m not here to converse for him to testify just for what I’m sure of, he’s trust worthy and best option ever seen
Vacation travel is a luxury ! save your money .
@Al ha ha. I’m hiring but I don’t ever get civil servants applying
@Al “less”? They make $45K to start, which is about $21/hour. That’s nothing
Exactly. Everyone says they’re so “poor”, but yet have money for travel. Make it make sense
@Al no it doesn’t. Find me office staff in the private sector that make less than $20 to start.
Public infromation shouldnt be accessed from living rooms across canada. Government employees should not be working from home.
Buy flights that you can change. Without penalty
Where is our government? Is he gone fishing again?
Call your MPs and tell them to end this strike.
Wow, sounds like the strike is disrupting. It’s almost like the work of public servant is essential and should be compensated as such.
If you compare their wages and benefits along with the fact they get a pension they are compensated well, especially when compared to the private sector.
@Al Depends. Private Sector still pays way more in most jobs. The pension contributions by public servants are always deducted from their paycheck
@Casio163 it really depends on the position and even though they get deducted they still have a pension. Many would cry to go back to federal employment if they went to the private sector which is why they don’t. Think about it, if private payed way more they would get jobs in the private sector.
Hogwash.
How many of these “travellers” were expecting to both recieve a passport and travel during this 11 day period?
No offense but after the debacle of passport issues last year. If you didnt apply for a passport after the summer and waited til the break of summer around the corner, you kinda have to blame yourself 🤣
Exactly
Oh boo hoo. Why did they wait till the last minute to renew their passport. The union has been talking about going on strike for months. They should’ve submitted their applications sooner.
When this Strike will end! Please stop this Strike!
