  1. Okay, the lady in the video makes the following key points, which I will summarize: 1. Companies employ more men in higher positions 2. If women want to be paid more, they need to apply for those higher positions 3. Yes, women are discriminated against in the workplace 4. We need to teach young women to have to the confidence to apply for higher paying jobs 5. Women are being discriminated against only because they allowed themselves to be 6. None of the above have anything to do with gender This leads me to several pointed questions: 1. How can anything possibly be that simple? 2. If women are allowing themselves to be discriminated against - how is she so sure it has nothing to do with their gender? 3. How does she know that women aren't applying for those higher positions?
  2. Field goals should be worth 1.875 starting at the 10 yard line - adding another .375 points for every 10 yards thereafter. If you're inside the 9.999 on fourth down - you have to score a TD or lose 2.375 points Any player rushing the QB has to line up in a 4 point stance And in case they lose too many good OL to other leagues - may as well include an option to count steamboats - to the nearest thousandth of course
  3. 1. I'm not familiar with your math teacher friend's situation, but I do agree that if that is happening, it is most definitely wrong. 2. The facts are the facts. The teaching profession consists of approx. 75% women, 25% men. Yet, at the admin level, it's 60% men, 40% women. 3. I agree that the RCMP situation is discrimination and should not be happening.
  4. Profit in the school system?
  5. It's only been a few years since Saudi Arabian women could legally be in the workforce.
  6. I know - right? Clearly it's the postings that are important - not who actually gets hired
  7. I'm beyond incredulous on this topic. Of course that is an example of gender pay gap. But when I cite an example from the teaching profession, of administrators more often being male, you just dismiss it. Here, you have cited the exact same thing: not a difference in pay, but a difference in opportunity, which leads to a pay gap.
  8. When I get paid more for banging my head against a wall than a woman does.
  9. ex·ist verb 1. have objective reality or being. "there existed no organization to cope with espionage" When you say something does not exist, it means it has no reality, no being. To say the 'gender pay gap' does not exist means it is not there at all. When someone does cite an example or two, it makes no sense to say 'it does not exist.' Or are some of you just being deliberately obtuse?
  10. No, that is not what’s happening. But that’s not the only way a pay gap can exist.
  11. Yeah, ah seen ‘um look & chuck it that way all the time.
  12. I gave evidence from my own profession - I even told you that the government and the unions view it as an issue and are looking into it. Granted, there may be some fields where it doesn't happen - but that doesn't mean that it never happens anywhere.
  13. I think you’re both, as we all should be.
  14. I’ve read several articles. Basically, the more I read the the less I know. It’s literally the elephant in the room, though. Most articles indicate 2 - 3 billion dollars are needed.
  15. Maybe I’ll have time tomorrow. Union job - gotta work on the weekend, lmao
  16. If government has to cover an oil company’s clean up costs - how is that not a subsidy? I’ll use manure management in the farming sector as an example. They come to your farm and dictate exactly what you’re supposed to do - but they sure won’t pay a dime of the costs.
  17. This is weird in several ways - but okay.
  18. Maximum penalty: the amount you were over cap, plus a $250 000 fine and 3 draft picks. The answer to your penalties question Mr. Skunk - is YES.
  19. I know. If you go back far enough in evolution, you have more questions that answers. Especially the question: who started all this? However, that isn't a reason to not see evolution as a possibility at the very least. It's the same thing with man made climate change. It's questionable - but there are no valid reasons to believe that human beings are not having an impact on the climate of the planet.
  20. Denying climate change is the same thing. In both cases, one can make arguments that they are inconclusive - because they both are.
  21. They got mentioned together because neither of them should be rejected.
  22. Well, well - that tired old argument. Do you believe in evolution? Because according to that logic, you shouldn’t.
  23. Low expectations, top notch night life.
  24. A farmer out in the St. Malo / St. Pierre area does very well growing cucumbers year ‘round.
  25. Here, greenhouses have a hard time finding workers. In fact, the local greenhouse in Petersfield relies mostly on immigrants and refugees. That mentality needs to change - or it won't matter how many programs we come up with.
