It was a "torture chamber" but she stayed in it for the required 6 years to get her pension.

It's a torture chamber, but she wants her replacement to be another female indigenous person. Isn't she sending that person into the same torture chamber.

Alberta is on track to receive $28 billion in resource royalties this year: https://www.cbc.ca/n...venue-1.6758320

BC might want to take notes, so we too can get back to things like having family doctors and sufficient clinic staffing and operating resources, better roads and transit, and less pressure on income taxes.

BC rejected royalties when they voted in the NDP / Green crapolition.

The province introduces new legislation regarding posting of pay rates for businesses in an effort to close the wage gap.

They just can't stop making things easier and more affordable for businesses, can they.  I'm still steamed about the EHT.

[GaryOak]

Oh yes make business more affordable by using women as cheap labor.

[Mike K.]

Why do businesses hire men, if it’s cheaper to hire women?

[Victoria Watcher]

The “pay gap” is a myth. After you simply correct for job type, hours worked, and experience.

Also, how many genders will these reports list?

No explanation on how any of these new measures will close the pay gap! Of course businesses, like landlords, are evil though and only the NDP can decide what people should be paid and under what conditions of work they should be allowed to be employed.

 

What bugs me most about the EHT is that companies that hire remote employees in BC pay nothing towards the EHT as they are not resident here forcing local employers to pick up the tab.

[Victoria Watcher]

Other provinces seem to be able to operate with no EHT at all.

I'm pretty sure that part isn't what Matt is steamed about. It's the requirement to do another reporting thingy for his business.

But that makes sense. There is no tab if they aren't resident here.

The companies aren't resident, the remote employees are. The costs for those employees now just gets pushed to local (ie BC resident) companies.

 

It also irks me that some remote employees asked to get paid in crypto so they don't have to (because they think the Feds can't track it) declare the income and pay taxes on it.

Oh, the other way around. Hmm. Sounds like a gap to address.

Oh no, we don’t have 300 employees so this won’t bother me for years to come, if ever. What steams me is that the province only gives us one eht deduction even though our corps are totally separate. We are forced to combine both payrolls for eht purposes.

[lanforod]

I'm not talking about EHT. I'm talking about the new job posting requirements and coming requirement to report on wage gaps.

 

You know. the article you posted...

Yes, the one where I said I’m still steamed about the eht?

The new wage reporting will eventually cover all businesses, it is only starting with the largest. 

[Nparker]

Hopefully before that happens a more sane government will be elected in BC.

omg seriously? does the NDP strategy cancel elections once the business community has disappeared?

 

I mean, why bother... they're going to prescribe literally everything. And, elections seem inefficient. The local farm team, the preschool group vying for attention from the CoV council table don't REALLY want democracy.
