Moya Greene is a Nutbar

Take a look at this picture. I did not photoshop it at all. This is what Moya Greene chose to wear and the background she chose to address the world on a Youtube video. It's no wonder mental health is her charity of choice. That's not a sari. It looks like the living room drapes. This isn't the Sound of Music. It's the sound of one hand clapping. Moya Greene giving herself a standing ovation.

The Royal Mail is preparing to slash nearly 40,000 jobs over the next five years as it seeks to combat the inexorable decline in postal volumes and privatisation. That's one in four workers.

The postal operator has already agreed a three-year deal with the Communication Workers Union to cut headcount by 8,000 a year until 2013. But Moya Greene, who became chief executive last July after leaving Canada Post, is expected to drive through a further 15,000 by 2016.

Come on England! That woman is a freaking nut bar! Look at what she did to Bombardier! Look at the mess she created with Canada Post then ran away from.

David Cameron is a psychopath. Privatizing the Queens mail? Have you no self respect? Liberating all public programs from State control? That is the Devil's lie so it is. Removing public accountability and handing over our own sovereignty to multinational corporations?

Where on earth is Winston Churchill because this is a worse assault on British Sovereignty than Adolf Hitler. Only this assault is a treasonous plot from within. Maggie what have we done? What happened to the post war dream? There are two suns in the sunset alright and one of them is England. Rise up my English Rose. Remember remember the fifth of November. Are we not King's men?

God Save the Queen. Help Stop Moya Greene.



Ulster Says No to Moya Greene.

Rise up Rose, Thistle and Dragon. Wave your Flag.

Canada Post Employees Strike Back

Canada Post is determined to steal the employees pensions and sick leave and completely wreck havoc on the work floor. As a result the employees voted 94.5% to reject their dastardly scheme.

Nevertheless, the Union has been determined to negotiate and has kept putting off a full strike. Yet Canada Post won't budge. They rather lie in press releases and send fake business reps to try and sway public opinion to believe stealing pensions is good for the country. That is sad.

As a result the Union has finally served it's 72 hour strike notice. It will be rotational strikes starting midnight tonight in Winnipeg for 24 hours then rotate somewhere else. This means the mail will still continue and the rotational strike is more of a symbolic exercise to show how the employees not just the Union are opposed to such drastic roll backs.

The declining mail volume is a fallacy. Routes are structured by mail volume. If the mail volume of a route goes down, that route becomes longer so the employee does more work to make up for it.

The Union chose Winnipeg as the place to start the rotational strike because that was the source of the pilot project which has destroyed the profitable functioning postal system and replaced it with absolute chaos. Moncton was the next place they tried to implement that insane system. However, since the drastic changes resulted in chaos they lost an arbitration which halted the insanity temporarily.

Now Canada Post wants to change key words in the existing contract to allow them to implement that chaos unilaterally and the employees have voted 94.5% against it. The union has agreed to deliver welfare and pension cheques during the labour dispute.

Canada Post: Still lying after all these years

I was always shocked at the outright lies Canada Post got away with telling the media. Canada Post would say something absolutely false and the media would repeat it simply because Canada Post said it and there was absolutely no consequences whatsoever for lying to the media.

Evey round of contract negotiations Canada Post would send out a press release and say that horrible union has so many demands it would cost us millions of dollars to pay for all their demands. This round they are saying it again only that perpetual compulsive lie has become so absurd it is now offensive.

Canada Post is Demanding the employees take huge roll backs again. They already stole the employees severance pay. Now they want to steal their pensions and their sick leave. That is offensive. Someone in some office had the bright idea that if they did away with pensions and sick leave they would save a lot of money. So here's the math. Canada Post makes an absurd and offensive demand saying that they want to steal sick time, steal pensions and greatly roll back wages for new employees. They calculate how much money their roll backs could save then they tell the media that the Union's offer of maintaining the status quo will cost them $1.4 billion. Billion!?

The Union wants the status quo. The Corporation wants huge roll backs. The Union objects and Canada Post tries and makes it sound like the Union is asking for more things that will cost over a billion of dollars. That is an absurd lie and because it rationalizes their plan to steal sick leave and steal pensions it is an offensive lie.

What has Moya Greene really done?

Catherine not too Swift

Put on your Game Face

CEOs got a big raise; how about you?

Coming out of a bruising recession, the average CEO in the U.S. got a 24% pay raise. The average American worker? Just 3.3%. What does the widening pay gap mean for investors?

Catherine not too Swift

Well, Catherine not too Swift from the Empire Strikes Back Club strikes again. She wrote a letter to the new CEO of Canada Post telling her to save money by stealing sick time and stealing pensions. Brilliant. Pensions are sacred. Stealing pensions is wrong bobblehead.





Catherine the Wise vs Catherine not too Swift. Two different worlds. Catherine Austin Fitts is good at business. Catherine not too Swift is not. Catherine not too Swift is a bobblehead scoundrel who wants to steal public pensions. Catherine Austin Fitts is a saint who wants to save the economy.

Hemlock Valley

I didn't realize how close Hemlock is to Harrison. You can get a glimpse of Harrison from Hemlock just like you can get a glimpse of the Indian Arm from Seymour.



They're a little bit more Nazi on Hemlock about hiking around on "Controlled Recreational Areas." Every other local mountain has BC Parks trails you can hike on during the off season. I'm not sure why I would buy a home on Hemlock if I wasn't allowed to hike around. Kinda silly really.

Cypress from Jericho Beach

Here's a picture of Cypress from Jericho Beach yesterday. You can see # 1 is Black Mountain where they held some Olympic events last year. # 2 is Mount Strachan the other ski hill with the Sky Chair that gives you a great view of the Lions and Howe Sound. #3 is Hollyburn Ridge that you have to snowshoe up. Many years ago they used to have a ferry to west van and people had to hike up to the chair lift. In the /60's it was very popular. Cypress was full of cabins made by the public. Some still remain today but the property tax is crazy and there is still no electricity or running water in the cabins.
