Guy tried to enlist the boss's brother in law to falsify work. "We don't have to walk all the way up the mountainside to do the work, the client will never check it". Then he went home, leaving said brother in law to do all the work by himself.

A week after getting fired, he called the boss about the performance bonus that was promised at the start of the contract.

Oh, that's easy. The BoC overnight rate is only one of the factors that go into the Prime Rate, which is determined by the banks themselves. The Prime Rate is also down by about half a percent.

Credit card rates on the other hand, are set by the banks based on how much they want to rip you off. The only government involvement there is that the card has to stay under the criminal interest rate, or 48% APR.

The current Government has proposed to reduce that rate to 35% APR, but we'll see.

In short, your MP won't be able to help with your credit card, because cards are issued by the banks, not the Government. Personally, I'd love to see Canada Post get into personal banking, but it's a bit of a pipe dream.

Well that's just lying be omission. Lots of people were disabled or disfigured too.

The bear uses Arch, BTW.

As a non-American, it's crazy to me that there (apparently) aren't any safe storage laws enforced. Would it really infringe people's gun rights to require that all firearms may only be in a safe, in your hands, or on your person (in a holster, sling, etc.)?

Most games work well; some don't yet, and a few probably never will (CoD, PUBG). The easiest way to check is to go here: https://protondb.com and either look up the games you actually play, or just give it your steam profile URL on the profile page and have it scan your library.

bears won’t stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you

Actually they will (sometimes). I had one young black bear that kept approaching me like a shy dog. It kept looking away and pretending to nibble bushes when I shouted at it. I left before finding out if it wanted to eat me (it probably did, being first thing in the spring). Another time we had a black bear that wasn't too obviously aggressive, but followed one of our crew around for two days. We ended up shooting it because we were in a fly-in camp and couldn't leave.

Most bears I met walked or ran away, including grizzlies.

Bears are complicated.

But she's not telling me, is she? She's telling every man everywhere, forever. I can't do anything with that information, except wonder if she's calling for all men and women to be strictly segregated for women's safety. At which point you've gone so far into nth-wave feminism that you've arrived at Saudi society as as model.

I like pedantry as much as the next person, but skew is a regular English word as well as a statistical term. It's clear here which usage they meant.

If you look here, you'll see that all the trades involved in housing construction are on the list for fast-track immigration already.

As for training, we may find that it's more the number of people leaving the trades that is the problem. It's not that the pay is bad, exactly, but it's an industry extremely prone to boom/bust cycles. People leave for jobs with some sense of stability. Increasing unionization and enhancing EI might be more cost effective than funding more training.

They didn't mention that public sector workers are about 60% unionized, but private sector is more like 10%. Collective bargaining typically sets pay on the position, not the worker.

It's supposed to be reflected in the price to the consumer. That's what's supposed to cause the consumers to make less carbon-intensive choices.

For goods or services that don't actually have any fossil carbon used, there probably should be a mechanism to call them out for misinformation.
