revrnd Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Saw a segment on Global National last night about a teen that didn't want to put 'their' gender on their BC ID card. Jordyn identified as gender neutral. Brought to mind this story from a few years ago. This is an update on 'Storm' https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2016/07/11/baby-storm-five-years-later-preschooler-on-top-of-the-world.html Quote Jazz prefers the pronouns “she” and “her.” She identifies as a transgender girl, having begun her transition three days before she turned 7. Her birthday is Dec. 27, and she announced the change right around Christmas, after spending a year grappling with the decision on her own. Kio, 7, identifies as non-binary and uses the pronoun “they.” Kathy also opts for “they,” while David uses “he or they.” 2 comments, this idgits probably think Seabiscuit & the Shiny Pony are both doing wonderful jobs. It would appear the father (if that's what David is) is struggling w/ his identity as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came only for the subsidies, and when the subsidies dry up, they’ll disappear as quick as they landed,” said Adams, an independent energy and environmental advisor and researcher. Boy, this guy doesn't sound as optimistic as the Liberals. https://www.thestar.com/business/2017/07/18/hundreds-of-jobs-lost-as-siemens-closes-turbine-plant-in-tillsonburg-ont.html Hmmmm, no mention of the idgits cutting back on the number of large 'green' energy projects in Ontario. This from last year: https://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/6865851-guelph-s-canadian-solar-lays-off-130-employees/ Didn't a solar panel manufacturer in Toronto close up in the past year or so?

1trailmaker Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Magna International – Ontario’s largest auto sector employer – is warning that the policies being imposed by the Ontario government could push them out of the province entirely. As reported by BNN, the warning from Magna was clear: ‘”We find ourselves in the very untenable position of questioning whether we will be able to continue to operate at historic levels in this province,” warned Magna Chief Human Resources Officer Marc Neeb in a submission to a committee studying the legislation. 22000 jobs is huge They will get an incentive to stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtybeacher Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Off topic, but, I saw a La Niña prediction for this winter on the interwebs. The way I see it is that we usually have 2-3 shitty snow seasons in a row, and then, we have 2-3 good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 MONTREAL — German sportswear manufacturer Adidas has announced an agreement to sell its CCM hockey-equipment subsidiary to a Canadian firm for US$110 million. The multinational said Thursday it will sell CCM to Toronto-based Birch Hill Equity Partners, with the majority of the transaction to be paid in cash. The deal is expected to close at the end of the third quarter of 2017. Adidas said the decision is in line with its desire to refocus its activities on footwear and sportswear through its Reebok and Adidas brands. CCM was purchased at the same time as Jofa and Koho in 2004 by Reebok, which was focused on establishing itself in the hockey market before it was purchased by the German company. CCM is headquartered in Montreal’s St-Laurent borough with manufacturing plants in St-Hyacinthe and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu. The company employs approximately 580 people in total, including 500 in Canada. CCM was founded in 1899 under the name Canada Cycle and Motor Company. At that time, it manufactured bicycles and automotive equipment. In 1905, the company began manufacturing skates using scrap metal from the bicycle and auto parts factory. The company went bankrupt in 1983, ceasing production of bicycles, but the skates division continued independently under the CCM banner.
