Nobody is saying that women are inadequately equipped for those roles, they are observing that women don’t choose those roles, even when barriers are removed. It’s not a coincidence that everyone is clamoring to bring equity into the C suite and boost women enrolling in STEM programs, but nobody is trying to bring equity to mining jobs, janitorial services, garbage collectors, etc.
No you’re understanding is incorrect. There is a big difference between an expired cheque and a reissued cheque.
If I walk into a bank with an expired cheque, they will not honour it, so there is no risk of 2 people cashing the separate cheques. If I walk in with a valid certified cheque, they MUST honour it, even if someone already cashed the reissued cheque.
You are correct that the recipient could wait ~1.5 years for the cheque to expire and then issue a new cheque, but that’s a significant delay and the estate likely wants to close its books before then.
It’s due to the capabilities of the wait times reporting system. Alberta has integrated reporting on all acute care sites, updated every 2 minutes, due to having a single organization (AHS) overseeing the IT and reporting infrastructure of every hospital in the province.
It’s amazing to me how quickly we forgot that carbon pricing was a conservative policy proposal. It was literally a concession the Liberals made to the Progressive Conservatives in the early days of planning to address “global warming” back in the days of the Kyoto Accord. PC’s wanted market solutions instead of regulatory heavy handedness to shape Canada’s way forward. LPC preferred cap and trade, but couldn’t get it passed, so they agreed to support carbon pricing because it was better than nothing.
Fast forward to today and suddenly carbon pricing is Liberal policy and ignore/deny is the CPC strategy.
So Danielle Smith campaigned on replacing the RCMP with an Alberta Provincial Police force that nobody in the province wants, then complains that the federal government seems reluctant to commit to contract policing. WTF?
My wife and I once had enough saved up to buy a used car from the dealership. The sales manager told us their incentives were structured around financing, so paying cash up front wouldn’t count towards their monthly sales figures, and to them it was “useless”.
Ended up financing with an open loan and paying it off, in full, on the first payment. Probably lost them ~$1000 in processing fees but they knocked off another $150 for my first interest payment.
