Great, so Mr. Pallister wouldn't mind if we ran a pipeline through his back yard as long as most of his neighbors said it was okay with them? I mean, it won't affect their property, just his, but they all said it was fine, and hey, not everyone gete a veto.

In more-sane news, the site I work security at is closing their doors to the public on Monday, along with most other non-vitally-important city offices. There is literally no reason for people to be coming in when everything can be done online or over the phone, and the powers-that-be have finally listened.

This 10% to 75% might be the difference between my partner being on forced paid leave or back on at full pay.

NDP seems to be claiming it was their idea and that they pushed Trudeau to do it. if so, thanks Singh?

Well, Singh did tweet earlier this week pushing for it, so... yeah, I think it's fair to give them the credit on this.

So far the replies are 5 for 5 on calling him out (well, 3 for 5, one is praising bee-clean for making sure things are actually clean and one saying that parents are going to have to pick up school work and drop completed work to teachers which... "mommy, what's a quarantine?" levels of dumb, but both are probably square on Pallister's shoulders anyways)

Eh, at least the snowbirds make use of retired airplanes that would just be rusting away in a field somewhere otherwise. Honestly, I have nothing against them, and I think the worst that can be said about them is that they do air shows. Hell, the planes they use aren't even combat aircraft, they're trainer planes.

Oh man, does this mean I'm going to get two of them? My mom passed away November of 2018, my dad passed away last September, but they both had 2018 income taxes and he was the sole beneficiary and executor of her estate, and I'm the sole beneficiary and executor of his estate. Yes, there have been things from her estate that I've had to deal with as the Executor of the Executor of the Estate.

It actually wasn't that bad, most of the stuff for mom's estate was apparently fairly straightforward (all their bank accounts were jointly held, house was in both of their names, ect). They had a Disney Vacation Club membership that dad never got around to dealing with, so that was... fun. But stuff like transferring ownership of the house was just a matter of the lawyer asking if I could bring both death certificates along with my dad's will to show that, yes, both property owners are deceased.

On a side note, if anyone wants a good lawyer to help handle getting wills probated or property titles transfered in the Winnipeg area, I can recommend some good ones.

I grew up learning that Rememberance day was a day to remember that war is a terrible thing and to remember the sacrifices that others made, not "hoorah troops are great!" If I can use a white poppy to push against that message, then sign me the gently caress up. War is hell, and the people who fight in it should be mourned and pitied, not venerated and idolized.

Michael's is actually closed this time round, so it sounds like the province has shortened the list (or Michael's realized it may look bad if they kept insisting they were essential when they had the curb-side pickup already in place).

I know the answer is actually "To funnel as much government money into the pockets of his friends", but why in hell is Pallister doing this? It would be one thing if he was doing this a year or even 6 months ago, before vaccines that were proven to work were actually things, but this is just infuriating. I know he gives zero fucks and probably already has his ticket to Costa Rica for his final "gently caress you" flight to his summer home, but what the hell?

For goons in the Manitoba area, how good is Shaw internet and home phone services? I've been with MTS (well, BellMTS) for years now, and I signed up for their Fibe 100 last July, the guy came out to hook it up on July 2nd, and it turned out there was a grounding fault with the second line. He put in a service request to have the line dug up and fixed, and then I heard nothing from them. Every month I was billed for the Fibe 100, I called them and they reverted it to the old price (only thing I'll give BellMTS, the billing department never questioned that and always fixed the price right away), and both the billing and technical department emailed the "back end team" to contact me. I never heard anything from them, its now 8 monthes later and I'm looking at my options for other companies that offer internet, home phone and cellphone.

For those more knowledgeable than I about the vaccines, was the issue with rare bloodclots in the astrazenica recipients strictly women who suffered that side effect, or was it both men and women? My wife is hesitant to get the AZ vaccine but I'm wanting to get the shot asap and just wanted to know if that was something we should watch out for once it becomes available and I get the jab.

I don't know what perler art is but maybe, it can take a few hours to write up your proposal and provide samples of work and stuff so if it has some actual artistic merit and you don't think you're wasting your time go ahead.

I do know that sometimes they have more money to give out than applicants so they give it to literally everybody.

Imgur is being dumb and not letting me upload photos of the non-gift stuff I made, so here's a picture I stole from Chokes' Gold Box LP of a clock I made for them using perler beads (melty beads, whatever you want to call them) and a wood clock face.

You just have to be able to explain and justify how you owning a cool mixer is an important contribution to Canada's standing in the art world

I mean... I just like making pretty pictures out of stupidly tiny beads that get melted with an iron (and then either glued onto a canvas or with a few clear beads on the top to make a loop to hang it with). I dunno how that's an important contribution to the art world (... this is why you end up with more grants than applicants, isn't it). I guess my big concern is "what is expected of me and how long do I have to do it in" if I apply for a grant and it's approved.
