In the past, in many industries, workers in Canada could count on defined benefit pensions. In recent year, the shifting economy and fudging stock markets encourage many private employers to drop those plans. A change that by large hasn’t hit the federal government sector. Marion Pottalac, after 37 years at Canada post says she enjoys the security that comes with the defined benefit pensions. “It’s knowing that every month I have money coming to my bank account.”

Now with Canada post, our federal found corporation seeking to eliminate defined benefit pensions for new hirers. Some believe it’s the time to exam all federal pensions. “So if we look at that example, what you gonna potentially see is in all these defined benefit pensions, Canada post probably the most the example you think of the pensions the highest risk being on the tax payers. These defined benefit pension plans are very large that tax payers have to cover.” Labour is watching closely but so far expressing little concern that what is going on the Canada Post is the beginning of a large scale battle. “No other concord operations comes to the bargain table seeking to get rid of defined benefit plan. So this is very troubling in regarding to their strategy. So I’m at the lost to understand their strategy.”

“We are probably not going to see much for pushing defined contribution in the public sector.” This professor thinks Canada post is unique in a tough spot in trying to reduce pension obligations because email is taking over. “If you look Canada post, you think where is going to be in ten years? Probably is going to have fewer employees.” Still some worry Canada post show down quick starts something you believe that putting workers later. “I want to tell these young workers that the pension worth fighting for.” How much the fighting will be over pensions Canada post, how serious management there there is about getting rid of defined benefit pensions that still will be decided.

It was a rough morning commute today. Tens of thousands of commuters across metro Vancouver were late for work. After two sky train lines ground a hauled, official shut down on most of the system losing communication with the two trains. Here’s Debra Goble with what happened and why.


With school back in and most people’s summer vocation is just distant memory. The reality rush hour came back in, full forth this morning.

“Well, I’m not sure, if I’m going to make it anytime.”

It was just after 7:15, when the sky train went down, leaving tens of thousands of people scrambling to get where they were going.

“I’m from King George and I’m going to water front, but I have to like transfer here, so to other place.”

“I’m gonna be late for school.”

Extra buses were called in.

“I waited for like 15 minutes.”

“I say 45 minutes.”

For those already aboard, one of the 56 sky trains in service. It meant being stuck for anywhere between 2 and 30 minutes.

“Headache though and frustrating.”

“People get notorious?”

“Oh, no.”

It was a tough commute. All was because of a small piece of metal on the part of the track known as the loop.

“You see the thick wire running alone? That’s the loop and that communicates between train and the central computer. And what happened this morning is there was something in the railway didn’t belong there. It was picked up by the train and it took out one of those loops. When that happens the computer loses his contact with the train. And when that happens the automated system shuts down until we find out what the deal is with the train. Obviously, you don’t want trains bumping into each other.”

Translink says that didn’t and won’t ever happen because safety precautions like the one that was implemented today work. Still was about 4 hours before the sky train was completely back to normal.

The city social housing units are to be managed by a none profit group, but housing organization say they haven’t see any request for proposals. One of the reasons for that is the question mark of the rentals. For those sweets, one bedroom will cost $1600 a month, a two bedroom for $1900 a month, and a four bedroom are rent for almost $2400 a month. Those units are supposed to be offer to health care and public safety workers first. The city calls it a priority focus. But that priority focus is creating complications between the city of Vancouver and BC housing. And that is resulting delays.

Well bad news, Bob Nixon fans, we’ve seen the last Bob Nixon for a while. Every Sunday night at this time he files one of his cookie stories. Well now he is taking a year off and this is his final report.


So this is my last day at work. Go on vocation for a year. Don’t feel like working that hard. I wonder if other people who go on holidays feel this way. What better place to Canver’s opinion than this Stanley park totem poles. Almost everyone is on vocation. People come from all over.

“I don’t know how to send you an equation.”

Then there are some people who are retired. Others are school teachers. Their last day was slack. And some are just waiting for the US recession to end.

“I actually haven’t work for 7 month and so it’s taking a vacation from vacation. I don’t have to work very hard.”

But if they have a job, chances are on the last day of work they worked.

“Yes, I was so far an account, I was filing myclel and dropping jewery off for people. So, yes.”

“Yes, did I suppose to say my last day I took off, the day before that I worked my normal pace.”

And some people worked even on their vocation. But only one admitted that last day of work drags.

“But I did couple hours of work before we left. The day before I left, then I read a book and then I lay down and then, not a big worker.”

So the concerns are seems be that work is work, play is play and never the twin should meet. That’s how what happen with me today, I got nothing done.

“He was in tent. I was a goner.”

Jay Vinden figures he is pretty lucky he and his fishing buddy spend its last four days in a remote camp about an hour west to Port Alberni. They see a young black bear nearby a couple of dozen times. Early Wednesday morning they saw the bear again.

“Hearing a snore and I was six inches face to face with a yelling black bear. The same bear. He took about two seconds to size me up and launch to my mid section, got me there and got me in my knee and then flipped me over with one hand like a pancake. And went for my head.”

The bear swept the patch of Vinden ‘s scale about 12 by 18 centimeters. And also clawed and chopped on his mid section before his partner Bruise Dodio distracted the bear. The bear started to attack Bruise. By that time, I got my life and went move to the snuff and way he went.”
