Good pay, benefits and flex days don't just happen by themselves

Moderate pay and average benefits*, which were mostly established at the beginning of my tenure. The union was generally impotent for most of my public service career. Let's not take this thread any further off-topic.
* pension notwithstanding; which I admit is good and the main reason I stuck around for 30 years

And I'll be working until I'm dead.

Here are a couple of photos of permanent campers in Stadacona Park taken around noon last Sunday.
The nearby residents are frustrated with the lack of response from bylaw officers. The campers are in violation of the bylaw that requires that campers remove their possessions by 7:00 AM.

Bylaw is doing (or not) what they are told. Summer is coming and the CoV wants more money.

How much does the CoV pay Aryze for its virtue signaling?

...Tiny Homes Village an innovative temporary housing solution...
It's been a year. How much longer is "temporary"?
With shelter and meals provided, what incentive is there for residents to ever leave this situation?

There was a limit, was it two years? 18 months? I forget now.

It is always temporary until it isn't.
225 Russell St was supposed to be a temporary shelter until it was redeveloped into affordable housing. Still looks the same to me every day that I drive past.

...The Tiny Homes Village is a temporary home for residents while they prepare to secure long-term housing. The village is planned to come to a close in fall 2022...
That's 222 more days max. Something tells me that deadline will not be met.
