@KTFBurnsDC They are pushing up on price. Nearly 2k Canadian per camera now 😳. The goal to have every firefighter a camera is being delayed

Golf course homeowners… we are sOoOoOoOo sorry 😢

@chuck_stccc It’s not limited to golf or even golf course maintenance. A fire engine that cost 600k in 2021 is now over a million.

Very vague post here. Without naming names, I have grown extremely frustrated with the cost of everything in golf: machines, accessories, equipment, etc. And after the club absorbs these costs it breaks. This isn't limited to one manufacturer or supplier. aggravating

@CBCNews BC is no better. Handcuff centres on max 3% increase and unable to meet rising expenses.

A Toronto daycare that signed on to the national childcare program is now in such financial difficulty that its board is considering closure. Advocates say its plight reveals flaws in how Ontario funds the system.  cbc.ca/news/canada/to… .

@PGATOUR @iTweetTurf @THEPLAYERS Ridiculous. What a waste of time

A cut above. The final rough mow of the week @THEPLAYERS ⛳️

I have a simple rule. If you don't know who this is, you don't get to write online about time management and your "high performance schedule".

@jeffpugel @GCIMagazineGuy Let me know when you want to work full-time for minimum wage. Mechanic for 50% of market value of non-golf mechanic positions. I know many clubs that have have been paying superintendents the same wage for 20 years

@GCIMagazineGuy Maybe it's not pay. The #1 reason employees leave is their boss.

Baffling sign of the industry times: Courses with green fees exceeding $500 yet consistently struggle to retain key maintenance employees because of pay. 🤦‍♂️

@travisolson86 @Fairway19Kal You wishing you the best with your municipal career. I and other former superintendents have enjoyed the change

@Fairway19Kal Parks Manager for the City of Campbell River

Officially my last day at Kamloops Golf and Country Club. I started 21 years ago as a back shop kid and spent the last 11 as Superintendent. It has truly been a 2nd home for me. I grew up here, met my wife here, brought my kids to play here. I will miss it. Tough to say goodbye.

@nickmmark @theindianheart Interesting. In my area of Canada, I have mostly seen propane. Add the ammonia plant and arenas can be scary place for first responders

@theindianheart Not always. Some are diesel, some gas, some propane. Diesel is the dirtiest, but all of those can emit motif oxide though. If you are gonna drive a truck in a refrigerated building full of exercising people probably ought to get an electric one!

It’s October - hockey season - so let’s talk about a hockey/pulmonary case: A previously healthy 17yo presents with dyspnea, frothy sputum, & orthopnea that began after playing hockey. In the ED he is tachycardic, tachypneic, mildly hypoxic. He has crackles bilaterally. Dx? 1/

If you watch one video today, make it this one produced by @NorwichCityFC for #WorldMentalHealthDay. ❤️💛💚 An incredibly powerful and incredibly important message.

@ffSteelerVol @TheSecretFF999 @SimTrainerUK Is this a European thing? Seems to me most videos of car fires from across the pond are booster line without BA

@TheSecretFF999 @SimTrainerUK ANY confirmed fire, SCBA is required to be worn/used in our dept. Salvage and overhaul as well. Too many unknown long term effects from exposure on fire calls.

Near miss with an LGV fire, also we really need to get into the habit of wearing BA at these incidents (I know most already do), for those unsure why I suggest listening back to the Twitter Talk with John Lord of @SimTrainerUK on Firefighting Cancers. Link to Twitter Talk: x.com/i/spaces/1eakb…

@ShaziGoalie Not legal. Ontario fire code: 9.9.10.1. Egress windows or doors for Bedrooms (1) Except where a door on the same floor level as the bedroom provides direct access to the exterior, every floor level containing a bedroom in a suiteshall be provided with a window ….

@GetBent1869 Been going through something similar in my area. Hang tough, we have been working closely with BCWS and they have been amazing. The circus is about to come to town

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has reached out/offered support during this #EagleBluffFire . Such amazing community we have, taking care of each other ❤️

@sull109602 Wow. I hope everyone will be ok

@FireMedic40NJ @Byonkin 100% agree

Unpopular opinion: There's nothing appealing about going out to bars and drinking.

“Winning through attrition” is a great lesson for aspiring firefighters. Firefighting is a great 2nd career - go get a trade and sharpen your soft skills

@ronmortgageguy The price to build is approaching 400/sq ft in BC. How can we afford to build?

Everyone In Canada Knows We Need More New Houses Completed: What If LESS Homes Are Built This Year And Next? That's effectively guaranteed How the hell could that possibly happen? Every level of Government declares a Housing Crisis & insists more homes will be built 2/

@ronmortgageguy There are plenty of houses, just far too few people owning them. Heavily tax any home that is not a primary residence

First Home Savings Account (FHSA) The New Plan: Is It Any Good? First, how does it work basically a RRSP for first time home buyers Contribute max $8K per year to max $40K Tax deduction on contribution No tax on growth No tax when cashed in to buy the house Do it? Or not? 2/
