"The living wage in Canada" is a stupid thing to say. Getting $38/hr in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver is not the same as getting $38/hr in Winnipeg, Quebec City or Windsor.

Are you working in the field you went to school for? Before going to school were you aware of the wages for the field you’re in??

But nothing is going to change if you’re going to just lay down and take whatever BS they throw at you. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I know all about needing to pay for food and shelter. You can make all the excuse for inaction that you want. Many of them are very valid.

I quit a $160k/year job with no other job lined up because they were treating me like shit. Only had enough saved for one month rent/food.

I was moving out of the matrimonial home and still had to buy everything new. I left with a bag of clothes. Had to furnish a whole apartment

Two years ago I had just signed a lease with $2k/month rent while on the hook for $3k/month child support. Plus all the other normal billls.

Because people keep putting up with it. If people walked out on an employer like that, they would be forced to change or go out of business.

Hold up. Did you just say min. wage? Who the hell puts up with any shit for a min wage job? Just quit and walk on over to the next one.

Excessive vertical displacement can force unwanted/damaging lateral movement.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

No. The one thing you could do would be a keyway. That would allow lateral movement while restricting vertical displacement. However…..

No. You never do that. You need to allow for differential movement or you risk bigger problems.

Also, defined benefit is fine and dandy until the employer mismanages the fund and can’t pay the amounts promised and pulls a GM.

You keep speaking about pension as if it’s automatically defined benefit by virtue of being a pension. Pensions can be defined contribution

Where as a pension can be either defined benefit or defined contribution but is locked in with a specific employer.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

What is should say is that a 401k is only defined contribution and is transferrable to different employers or to an IRA.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That’s a piss poor definition. There’ve always been defined contribution pensions, even if defined benefit was traditionally more prevalent.

It’s the same thing. You pay into it while you are working and you collect once you retire. Doesn’t matter what you call it.

Your attitude is the reason our shit's fucked. I've seen the contracts; they could pay labourers $60/hr and STILL make an absolute fortune.

Get into a trade. Basically every union offers a pension. Even general labour - $40/hr to push a broom until you retire with $3k-$4k/month

I’m not speaking to the people in this picture. Speaking only to the assertion that republicans would never hold up the flag of the USSR.

Even if means supporting a government that’s further left than the left that you are worried is going to take over your country.
