@OliveSiffleur I feel your pain, Mom was in palliative care and they suggested I go back home halfway across the country and would call me when she died. They would put her in a coma and let her linger indefinitely from terminal painful cancer.

VA transport picked Dad up for remdesivir infusions. Were told if he had bad enough symptoms, he'd be admitted. He's in ICU now. Covid protocols. Good. First nurse, lovely. Then bc I was sitting by the glass door I overheard shift change staff start dissing my disabled Dad & fam—

@newsthump @Stonekettle My Nan had to move herself and the 3 girls several times during the blitz. The lived out several years of the war in quonset huts the military provided to the homeless in refugee camps in England. Mom was lucky they were in the north and was not sent away to Canada alone.

@bbailey861 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero Well I am sure your career taught you so much more then my husband's 27 year still serving career who is where I learned this from. I am quite happy to stop this as you obviously drank the koolaid. The NC's are all agreeing - not with you
English
@AmyKat66 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero Thank you for explaining how it all works. In 2 short tweets, You've cleared up what 45 years (36+ yrs military and 8+ yrs in PSAC) never taught me. It makes me wonder how much more I didn't get.🙄😂
Not really, I think we're done here.

I thought we’d agreed that using physical force to make a point — blocking roads or railways or access to buildings — was out of bounds. Yet it continues. It wasn’t right when anti-vax loons did it in Ottawa, and it’s not right for “respectable” civil servants to be doing it now.

In their latest email to members, PSAC is calling on their members to keep escalating their actions on the picket line to let the feds know their offer isn’t good enough. The union says they “escalated” 25 different picket lines today #cdnpoli

@SkinnyfatTony @RiverLifeIsGood @tribelaw You realize the increasingly extreme wildfires are a direct result of climate change which is a direct result of carbon emissions. Carbon emission can be fixed and Canada's are but the US is killing all of us. Read a book
English
@AmyKat66 @RiverLifeIsGood @tribelaw And thank you for all the wild fire smoke you've been choking us with all summer. Fix yourselves.

@bbailey861 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero If the civilian union is not ratified for those same 4 years before they come into effect we have to wait until the end and they have all those years settled.
Once the back pay has been given it starts all over.2/2
English
@AmyKat66 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero PA and TC groups signed 27 Jun and the EN and SV groups signed 11 Jul. They've got 180 days to complete the payout. It should be relatively easy to make the adjustments for the workers who work standard Mon-Fri. It may take time to get the shift workers pay sorted out.
English
@bbailey861 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero Yes I know I have friends on both sides of this but that does not men it will be easy smooth or timely.
You really do not get it. CAF was due certain amounts every year for 4 years when new 4 year Cost of Living increases will be decided. 1/2
English
@bbailey861 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero Well that is news to us. If it does happen then we will see it in 3-5 years a per normal. Ours is set and then not paid until they are ratified and happy which means the same or more then the CAF. In the run neither is paid what it is worth. Counting the days.
English
@AmyKat66 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero Yeah, I heard the pay adjustments made its way into the system in the last pay.
I think you should be seeing another very slight increase. Didn't DND say they would adjust CAF pays again if PSAC settled for a higher amount than the military got?
English
@MikePerryavatar @Stonekettle He is right, but it only works if you leave the trees standing and only produce as much carbon as they can convert. His problem is math and evolution. Living next to Canada is not going to suck up all the USA's extra carbon or make up for their lack of trees.
English
An oil cartel buying America's politicians was simply God's will. "Go woke, get smote."
The Intellectualist@highbrow_nobrow
Illinois State Rep. Chris Miller (R) says we should not worry about climate change because God made trees: "We're not having a climate crisis ... Green leafy plants actually absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. It's the way God made it."
English
@bbailey861 @YOWmom4 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero In affect we fund the CAF we pay a tax on salary, we are constantly a few years behind the budgeted scheduled pay, and giving the government an interest free loan. Being taxed in the year we receive is technically correct but it does give most of it right back. 2/2
English
@YOWmom4 @AmyKat66 @1MikeMorris @acoyne @CdnCicero I believe this to be a burner account and if it is, I'm guessing it's to protect someone in the CAF.
That said, if this is happening, I fully agree with you. It's beyond sad, it's disgusting.
It's going to take public outrage, or mass releases to get IR & PLD rates changed.
English
@RiverLifeIsGood @tribelaw Here in balmy Nova Scotia we are just floating along in flood waters and wilting in the humidity between massive rain storms - nice change?
Not
Thanks USA for being in the top 2 carbon emitting countries neighbour.

Fish kills like this are common in the summer when temperatures increase,” according to a statement shared on the Quintana Beach County Park Facebook page. “If there isn’t enough oxygen in the water, fish can’t ‘breathe.’ Low dissolved oxygen in many cases is a natural occurrence.”

@stonedseawitch @TimHoustonNS @JustinTrudeau I live in between 2 uncontained fires, have dozens of friends evacuated and homeless. Have a go back packed. I hate what the hard right Fed CP party represents and warn against them. Tim Houston has been a great Premiere, stuck herding uneducated cats
English
Is it wrong to say "I fucken a toad a so" to people who voted Conservatives for NS in the last election.
People are upset @TimHoustonNS hasn't called for Federal assistance with the wildfires after @JustinTrudeau said they were on standby to help.
Over 19000 hectares gone.
English
@stonedseawitch @TimHoustonNS @JustinTrudeau People are the reason for the fires. During fire bans, camp fires left to burn out unattended, burn barrels, flicking lit cigarette butts and then calling him a nazi for treating the children like children. Prov. PC is not part of Peter Polywogs party
English
Tell me again Alberta how this is about freedom and truly Canadian values? Get your head out of the US GOP's ass and your hands out of their pockets
Grow up. Gun toting, racist, misogynistic, faux christians are out numbered in Canada
🇨🇦 Henri A 🇨🇦@HenriAGS
Alberta elected someone who praises DeSantis Whatever you think of the Liberals, they're not out there saying some Canadians should be destroyed, crushed, or eradicated Today, these people are ALL saying the same things he says. Believe them #cdnpoli twitter.com/mark_slapinski…
English
@mustangmadd @1MikeMorris @PierrePoilievre Well if Peter Polywog ever answers a question that is not staged maybe we will find out why. But I know that will never happen and his verbal diarrhea will spew forth until we find a cure for him.
English
As parts of Canada are burning to the ground due to unseasonal wildfires
Wildfires which for this time of year are up by 13 times the norm
It's a good time to remind Cdns that CPC including its leader @PierrePoilievre voted AGAINST declaring climate change a national emergency
English
Oh he was just the beginning wait until the next Con PM. That is when things will get really ugly. Before the Cons can make us the 51st state we will have a civil war. Then see how tough all of us centrists, and liberals, and other socialists are.
English
Well @PierrePoilievre tell me again why you think climate change is nothing to deal with as my province burns at an ever increasing rate each year
English
As I sit here, wondering if the wind will shift and I will be in the next group of homeless by fire, I wonder why on earth we have triple the number of fires in less time then last year if there is not climate change. Maybe denier P Polywog can explain.
English
@PierrePoilievre As if anyone could silence your verbal diarrhea. How can you expect to lead when you refuse to have security clearance? How can you be believed when you refuse to answer questions unless asked by your supporters. You cannot make us the 51st state. Give up.
English
I will not be silenced.
Canadians will hear the truth.
