Ottawa’s job market is a fascinating blend of diverse sectors, yet it is predominantly marked by an overwhelming presence of government-related employment. This scenario sets Ottawa apart from other major Canadian cities, where private sectors often dominate.

I've had my car for a year now and I have never once parallel parked*

I'd like to go to an exhibition this weekend, but there is only roadside/on-street parking available (I've even double checked on google streetview to be sure. and for a few blocks in every direction) and honestly I am panicking a little because this is it. it's unavoidable now. I will have to parallel park.

(* of course, I did parallel park twice during the test to get my license, but that was between poles and traffic cones, not between real people's cars which could be bumped into)

The provincial government is literally evil.

My Canadian followers please never forget that even the “truth” part of truth and reconciliation is a sham because all levels of government still refuse to acknowledge that there were way more than 139 residential schools as they intentionally left those that were provincially or privately funded out of the TRC settlement agreement

Can't wait to experience another homophobic pride month

on the whole applying for jobs was a slightly soul-crushing experience but it did end up taking basically the ideal length of time: just long enough for me to finish my thesis, get some free macarons from an interview at a bakery, and not have to go to the interview i had scheduled this afternoon (i didn't get hired by the bakery, btw. i got hired by the provincial government, which pays much better)

Ms Smith: I do want to talk for a moment about postsecondary institutions, Mr. Speaker. Let’s be frank. I don’t know if it needs to be said or not, but it’s my observation that at this current moment in time Ottawa’s priorities are not Alberta’s priorities. Alberta has been funding targeted enrolment expansion based on Alberta’s labour market in order to ensure that industry and job creators have the skilled and professional workers that they need. We know with the Dow Chemical petrochemical facility. Whether it’s Air Products, whether it’s pipeline projects, we know that we need to have tens of thousands of skilled construction workers to be able to fuel that growth. We also need tens of thousands of skilled construction workers to be able to build the homes that we need.

Ottawa provides funding specifically in other areas that are not urgently needed in our workplaces and our economy. They specifically fund programs, initiatives, and research that furthers their ideology, and that ideology is often contrary to Alberta’s interests.

tiktok just made me input my email and password (I had to select this instead of the default of sending a code to my phone), then made me solve a captcha (that I've never seen before. I had to match object shapes and sizes), then also sent a code to my email for me to input to "verify it was me", so yeah, I think I'm actually just never going on tiktok again, thanks, 'cause holy shit

rajo's bio parents, tanorra and sayevast, early in their relationship. they are now very bitterly broken up but their jobs still work very close together, so tanorra has been sending her assistants to report to sayevast and refusing to talk to her face-to-face for the last 17 years. everyone finds this amusing except for the two of them and rajo (but he doesnt think anything is funny so its not special)

Would be nice if Canadians stopped treating our government like it's a two party system when it obviously is NOT.

[catgirltoes]

Abolish the provinces now.

anyway i'm praying for legault's downfall now that hundreds of thousands of public service workers are out on strike for better pay as he's offering $7million for some hockey games. the strikes are happening all over the province and the majority of quebecers know someone who is on strike (if they aren't on strike themselves) so hopefully this makes people think abt how teachers and nurses are more valuable than a few hockey games
