You can always count on CEOs and Board Chairmen to be first in line to betray the country. Spineless cowards.

Capitalists aren't loyal to nations, nations are loyal to capitalists.

Ontarians: WSIB couldn't possibly get any worse

Dofo: Hold my beer!

I had a claim last October for a week's missed work. Filed on time, thoroughly documented by the hospital and my employer which all corroborated the info I filed myself. Somebody called me to confirm a few things.

Two weeks later I get an email saying my claim had been denied. The very next day a Purolator courier delivered a cheque covering the amount I claimed. This spring I got tax documents from them.

They have no clue how to do their jobs. Glad some of them are being replaced. Sad it's by an even stupider, less literate and vastly less deserving country.

This shit is completely preposterous. I think it started before Trump when we were still buddy-buddy with the US. Now it looks way worse.

while Dougie was pouring out shitty whiskey a US cable company was buying up all the Ontario greenhouses.

Elon Musk recently launched Iron Mountain into the spotlight by complaining of their arcane data storage which is part of the suite of services they will now be responsible for at WSIB along with the digitization of hard copies of case files. If Iron Mountain’s history of delays repeats itself, that could have catastrophic consequences on injured Ontarian’s ability to receive the support they need and deserve.

I don't think they realize this reads as an endorsement.
