… who would figure out how to lose money with a Tim Hortons?

National Post- Canada’s subsidized Tim Hortons lose another $500,000

“Years ago, we were able to contract out the main cafeteria services to the private sector on the agreement with the union that the Tim Hortons operation would remain under the collective agreement,” the hospital’s then CEO David Musyj told Postmedia in 2023.

This is also the singular reason the locations are so unprofitable. Instead of paying the entry-level wages typical to a Tim Hortons, Windsor Regional Hospital is paying its Tim Hortons employees at the same rate as unionized hospital workers.

Digging Your Own Grave

As the post office inevitably transitions to a horrifically expensive junk mail delivery service, this allegedly climate-change driven “death trap” is starting to look more like a suicide pact. The postal strike has certainly pushed me to go paperless for all my critical invoices and to use Amazon or a courier for parcel delivery from now on. I’m quite certain I’m not the only one.

Enslin, 41, has worked at Canada Post for 16 years and said the extreme weather brought on by climate change — whether it’s inhaling smoke from wildfires or delivering mail during storms — has added significant physical and mental pressure to their jobs.

And that’s one of the reasons postal workers are demanding more support for these challenges in their new contract, he said.

Best Health Care In The World…Not

Nothing says abject failure like the imposition of draconian penalties in order to keep doctors from leaving socialized medicine.

Dubé tabled legislation, Bill 83, in the National Assembly on Tuesday that would require students who studied medicine in a Quebec university to devote the first years of their professional lives, as general practitioners or specialists, to working in public institutions…

A doctor refusing to follow the rules would face fines of between $20,000 and $100,000 a day and per insured act.

 

Economic Illiteracy

So Canadians just don’t have the right vibes now? Is a recession defined by a “vibe deficit” or something like that? This is just more “animal spirits” nonsense.

Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday that she hopes her government’s proposed GST holiday will help bridge the gap between Canada’s macroeconomic picture and historically stressed-out households by bringing good vibes to the latter.

“People have been talking about a ‘vibecession’… and the fact that Canadians just aren’t feeling that good,” Freeland told reporters at a press conference in Ottawa to promote the temporary sales-tax reprieve.

National Post- Canadians have constitutional right to unequal treatment, new report argues

“Canadians have been sold a bill of goods,” Bruce Pardy, the author of the report and a Queen’s University law professor, told National Post by email. “Many of them think that they have a right to equal treatment under the law. They think that discrimination is illegal. But nothing could be further from the truth. In Canada, discrimination is lawful as long as it is committed against the right groups — and in particular against straight white men.

Best Medical System In The World

National Post- At TMU medical school, some students are more equal than others

Toronto Metropolitan University, will reserve 75 per cent of its seats for Indigenous, Black, and other “equity-deserving” groups including 2SLGBTQ+. These students will need an undergraduate GPA of only 3.3 on a 4-point scale, and maybe not even that; for comparison, the University of Toronto medical school’s average accepted GPA is 3.95. Able-bodied straight white students can’t apply for these seats. It’s TMU’s affirmative action school for doctors who can’t get in on their merits. Canada now has full-blown racial and gender discrimination. How did we get here? The Supreme Court of Canada is largely to blame.

Collective Farming

Why are the Tories split on this issue? Do some of them actually think that the supply mismanaged dairy and poultry sectors should be allowed to hold the rest of the economy hostage?

This week, farming groups and former trade negotiators took turns trying to convince the upper chamber to either support or reject the Bloc’s private member’s bill to protect supply management from future trade negotiations.

The government voted in favour of the legislation last year, as did most Liberal MPs, the Bloc, the NDP and the Greens. The Conservatives were split on the vote.

Blacklock’s- Feds Want 3% Irish Land Tax

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland yesterday said cabinet would like to adopt an Irish-style three percent annual federal tax on vacant lots.

“Such taxes would be intended to discourage speculative holding of land and making it more costly to keep land undeveloped,” the finance department wrote in a Consultation Paper. “Taxes could provide a source of revenue for various orders of government which could be used to fund the construction of more new homes,” it added.

Globe and Mail- A look at Halifax’s climate property tax, ahead of a civic election that could determine its future

This is unique among larger Canadian cities – many of which have put little money toward climate change even as they declare it an emergency – and raises about $18-million in dedicated funds each year. But its prominence on the bill is a recurring worry to the city bureaucrat who helps dole out the money.

“Usually when things are called out on the tax bill, they’re at risk,” said Shannon Miedama, Halifax’s director of environment and climate change. “Every year I freak out that it’s going to get debated and pulled, and it hasn’t happened yet.”
