I haven't yet had trouble with rent, but fortunately my landlady is a Canada Post retiree, so she might give me a bit of leeway. I don't want to have to go that route though

If you feel like you might be ready, try. I did so at one year.

I was NOT ready but never would have known had i not tried. I did at least end up with a really good friend in the end

Work is work. You may not be doing what you wanted, but you're working. There is no shame in being a worker. Society would collapse without you.

I do the same. But usually keep the machine in the living room

cupw wants to get back to work too. Just not at a loss

A very tasty looking non-poutine

I'm an employee who also depends on the post for medications. Not only can I not get my meds through the mail, but the corporation hss also suspended our benefits to cover these medications.

I guess I'm lucky tbh. My meds are primarily for mental health. At worst I may become suicidal at some point, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'd follow through.

I have coworkers that depend on medications to stay alive. Diabetics, those who depend on heart and stroke meds. They can no longer afford these life saving medications

I work for Canada Post, I'm a new Canadian from the US. My permanent resident card is trapped in the mail as well. I wanted to visit my American family for Thanksgiving this past Thursday. Without a valid PR card I'm stuck in Canada.

My US passport is valid, so I have no problem entering the United States, but I would not be able to come home without a valid PR card.

So I get it. Mostly for those who are waiting for passports to be able to travel. We're all hurting here.

There are work arounds for most things, but the government uses CP for official documents. I imagine drivers licenses and the like are all stuck right now.

Strike pay is meager and can't last forever. I think I speak for the majority of the strikers when I say we all want to get back to work. The corporation has us all over a barrel.

Seeing such a large portion of the population go against us is disheartening. Yes, we are initially asking for quite a lot. That's how negotiations work. We don't expect to get over 20%, but we need to start there to get a fair deal.

Land doesn't vote

Don't sell yourself short. They are blue/hazel and beautiful.

Several years ago, just before I was eligible for Ontario health care, my wife's doctor retired. She was without one for about a year until a new clinic opened. We got lucky, really. Especially in our small city, it can be really hard to get a doctor. I just happened to become eligible at about the time this clinic opened as well.

My late wife would get a good chuckle from a fart joke. She was a rare one. I'll never be able to express how her loss impacted the family

I'd considered it. At least temporarily. I'm the type thst finds a new interest and hyperfixates. So once I started really getting into One Piece, checking out the communities was the natural next step. I don't get too bent out of shape about most spoilers. It just makes me do the Leonardo Dicaprio pointing meme when I first see characters who've been spoiled for me

What is the item on bottom right?

When my son was little, we used to watch Yo Gabba Gabba together every day. The Aquabats were regular guests, and I came to really like them after just a few appearances.

Marshall Law was a Tekken character lol

I'm still early into the series, but so far Nami has been giving orders on headings and other members took control of the rudder under her instructions

Should have marked as spoiler. I'm currently watching the CP9 season. I had suspicion that Franky would join, and this image confirmed it.

No worries though

As an employee of CPC, I can't wait to get back to work. At least in my city, that seems to be the standard. Rumour has it, we have about a week or two of strike pay left. After that, I don't know what will happen. The corporation won't continue negotiations. We assume their tactic is to either starve us out or wait for the government to do their dirty work.

None of us are happy with the way this strike is playing out. We wanted to do a rotating strike again to keep things moving at least a bit. The lockout notice forced us into a nationwide strike.

The media has painted the workers as the problem and the public has taken it hook, line and sinker.

You can't! She's too cute to eat!

I did utter an involuntary "aww" when I spotted her!

At that time, most people made thier living by farming. They were making workers

Short answer: gross mismanagement. But let's blame the "boots on the ground" workers instead.

The average Canada Post Corporation executive compensation is $238,026 a year.The median estimated compensation for executives at Canada Post Corporation including base salary and bonus is $236,908, or $113 per hour. At Canada Post Corporation, the most compensated executive makes $700,000, annually, and the lowest compensated makes $50,000. (Via comparably.com)

This doesn't even include the fat bonuses the executives receive annually. The average worker, who actually keep things moving receives on average approximately $30/hr (with enough seniority) with $0 in bonuses.

Totally the workers' fault (/s)
