Is there anyone organizing counter protests? Or even with a non-Facebook schedule?

Oops. Not ran twice.

I guess it's really a criticism that can be applied to most parties. To a certain extent, it's understandable, because you can't really implement policies if you never hold power. Still, I'd rather be arguing over the best ways to handle important issues than trying to figure out who's tweaking my emotions for their own gain.

"Pierre is very cerebral," said one adviser. "He wants to take the time to form an idea and take a position without having to change his mind."

If he is very cerebral, I think that he's putting the big brain to the wrong use. From the outside, and now based on this article, it seems the challenge he's chosen to tackle is how win, not how to do the right thing for people and the country.

They have similar legislation in other jurisdictions. Does anyone up to no good get to hide that fact? What about people who share a name and one person wants search results hidden and the other(s) don't or even actively want to be searchable?

I used to be against this, but as time has gone on, and i've seen just how evil Google can be, i've become more and more in favor of it!

While I agree that Google is evil, don't forget that they are a search engine. If Google doesn't show the results, another search engine probably will.

"We want our pilots to be entirely free from any financial consideration when they take a safety-related decision," WestJet CEO Alexis von Hoensbroech said.

Is it somehow coming out of their pay?

I just retired as a school bus driver. There were some rules that required I cancel for safety reasons. There was also a rule that said, in effect, I was the best judge of my abilities and local conditions and circumstances, making me free to cancel even when cancellation was not mandatory.

I both cases, I was still paid as if I hadn't cancelled. This was not just a secret little rule, but hammered in to us to make sure that we understood there was no penalty for cancellation.

I never once had an administrator question my decision to cancel. In the rare case that a parent questioned my decision, it was referred to administration who unfailingly backed me up. I'm sure there was a process in place to deal with malingering, but that's pretty much standard procedure in every workplace.

If there is not a similar regime for pilots, there should be.

I like it!

If it's serious enough or there are repeated offenses, the directors might have to resign from all boards and the C-suite prohibited from taking equivalent positions elsewhere. And eventually actual humans get prison.

Who, precisely, did they consult with? All I got from my letter to the premier was a form response that it has been forwarded to the appropriate minister.

Well, I did get spam asking me if I support the Sask Party. Not on any issue, just in general. Does that count?

Someone somewhere has to get it posted where people will see it. It might as well be the researcher.

I think that's more of a "huge organization" thing than specific to governments. Over my career, I found that the larger the company, the more like quicksand or a vat of molasses the projects were.

Manufacturing facility with fewer than a couple of hundred employees seemed like the sweet spot, especially when still run by the founders or taken over by long term employees. Multinational mining companies -- not so much. :)

staff not knowing what the fuck they want and constantly "amending" the scope of the work

... is pretty darn common across the board. I've never done any government contracting but I find it hard to imagine that it could be worse than the private sector.
