Rant time.
So the wife took a new position in the government which started in February.
It's several steps higher than her old position, and a pretty significant pay bump.
Except, it's been 4 paycheques now that she's still getting paid at her old rate. The system hasn't updated to her new wage.
She put in a call to whatever group deals with these sorts of issues after paycheck #1 in the new job, and no change to date.
What's fucking rediculous is the attitude that is "normal", my wife said there was another guy who had the same thing happen and it didn't resolve for 6 months.
If this sort of thing happened in a private business, people would just fucking stop working.
Like what do you do if you're someone who's actually in need of that money?
Fortunately we're not in that position, but this is already several thousands of dollars that are not in our hands yet that should be.

Is she with the feds? Welcome to Phoenix... I know people that were paid at the wrong rate for years.
At one point I was paid for 2 jobs at once and I couldn't even get them to stop for 6 months. There's definitely people who had to take out emergency payments for things like rent or mortgage and I know of 2 people who didn't get approved for mortgages because they couldn't get an accurate representation of their income. There's at least 1 documented suicide related to Phoenix issues as well.
Thanks Harper/Conservative Party!

My wife also works for the Feds and she's been on and off paid incorrectly at least a third of the time as she's moved roles and been in acting roles (temporary promos) during that time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_pay_system
The history of the system is fascinating (and will drive you crazy) but I'll acknowledge that the Feds have a VERY complicated and complex pay and benefits system however the Harper gov't forced a solution/process onto something that made no sense. A monolithic all in one product that was released to the masses all at once is crazy.

People speculating if low effort insurance scam or if they were trying to hijack the person's car.

-pretty big news in the world of wrestling and MMA. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/03/busin...ale/index.html
New York
CNN
—
World Wrestling Entertainment is merging with Endeavor Group, the parent company of competitor UFC, to form a new publicly traded company.
The deal values the newly combined company at over $21 billion: UFC is worth $12.1 billion and WWE is valued at $9.3 billion. Endeavor shareholders will own 51% of the newly combined company, while WWE shareholders are getting 49%.
“This is a rare opportunity to create a global live sports and entertainment pureplay built for where the industry is headed,” said Ariel Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, in a statement. Emanuel, a Hollywood powerhouse agent, will be the CEO of the new company and retain his chief executive title at the agency.
Vince McMahon will retain his current WWE title of executive chairman at the new company, which doesn’t yet have name. He said in a statement that the new company “will be well positioned to maximize the value of our combined media rights.” He also said the new company could expand by pursuing other mergers and acquisitions “to further bolster our strong stable of brands.”
WWE shares fell nearly 10% in early trading and Endeavor slumped about 2%. The companies expect to save $50 million to $100 million in costs once the deal is complete, which is expected to close in the second half of this year. It will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “TKO".

Massive main and Hastings clean up today..... Road closed in both directions.
Probably 50-100 people including cops, fire, boo-boo bus, and general cleaners taking care of business.
I wonder how long before the tents reappear on Alexander Street in the same magnitude. A week? A month?
I was there in a hi-viz vest for something unrelated, got yelled at and was the victim of several "I hate cops" jokes lol

Cops are just doing their job, ffs. Those whiners are the ones who'll wish cops were there when they get attacked, robbed, raped, have their property damaged, etc.
Just heard about the eviction of residents at some condemned SRO building. Cops arrested people who were not even residents (squatters). People see that and go immediately into attacking the police. I am a supporter of law enforcement. Yes, there are some bad apples, but they get a lot of undeserved negative criticism. Those who criticize would be shitting their pants if they were in their (cops) shoes.
Back to the tent situation. If those fokkers behaved themselves and kept everything relatively clean, it wouldn't come down to this. If the homeless camped out in front of the protesters' front yard, they'd be singing a different song. The tents are not only an eyesore, it is now a health and safety issue. Stabbings, fights, fires, etc.

Did they change how customs works at YVR? The last time I came back into Canada through YVR in December I got off my Delta flight, went through the "Canada Connections" customs, got on my WestJet flight and left. This time I came in on my United flight, headed for an AC flight and was told I could only go through connections for WJ-WJ or AC-AC. Anything else I had to go out the normal way, get my bag, and check in/go through security again.
Is that a new thing or is a Delta > WJ flight somehow different from United > AC? Both were booked as complete trips.

-edit- sorry, just reread your post. United to Westjet connections are not eligible for direct connections. Only certain airlines cooperate with each other, and generally they are in the same alliance (i.e. Luftthansa to Air Canada, or Delta to Westjet. Funny enough, United to Air Canada doesn't allow for direct transfers which is odd to me).

Whoops I edited it to clarify, I came in on United and was going out on AC. It was all booked as a "partner" airline, I had my boarding passes for both flights in the United app and when I went to drop off my bag again they reused the United bag tag (good thing I left it on).
On the original flight out of Canada my stuff was checked through no problem. I just landed at YVR and went through US security, I never had to touch my bag, though I'm assuming customs going out is different from coming in.
It was in the middle of the day on Friday too, it was pretty busy and I went as quick as I could but I still only made it to the gate 5mins before boarding.

When you departed Canada, you precleared US CBP in Vancouver, so once you land in the US, you're treated essentially like a domestic arrival.
But coming back to Canada, you have to clear CBSA in Vancouver, so connections are treated differently. That's the main difference.
The good news is YVR has a special corridor for International to Domestic connections, but not everyone is eligible to use it, and it's not available overnight.
Only these international to domestic airline connections are eligible to connect directly (taken from Flyertalk):
- Air Canada(AC) connecting to Air Canada(AC)
- Lufthansa(LH) connecting to Air Canada(AC)
- Edelweiss(WK) connecting to Air Canada(AC)
- Westjet(WS) connecting to Westjet(WS)
- Air France(AF) connecting to Westjet(WS)
- Delta(DL) connecting to Westjet(WS)
- Japan Airlines(JL) connecting to Westjet(WS)
- KLM(KL) connecting to Westjet(WS)
AND are also arriving directly from a flight departing from the following destinations:
- All USA Flights
- All Mexico Flights (except Mexico City)
- All Europe Flights
- All Japan Flights
- All Korea Flights
- All Australia Flights
- All New Zealand Flights

It'd be nice if they put that on a sign somewhere before you hike over there and wait in line. Maybe I'm just an idiot who got too little sleep but when I'm making a Canadian connection and I see a big sign that just says "Canada Connections" that's where I'm going to go. I have to make the same trip a few more times so at least now I know it'll be the same in future.
