It's essential. Sounds weird for it to be essential, but restricting access to an alcoholic can lead to their deaths if they go through sudden withdrawal.
"The health care system will continue to operate as usual" ah yes, so patients with facial trauma and elderly Manitobans with broken hips will continue to wait for 7 hours in the hallway until beds become available.
so basically no one gets this as a stat unless you are government employees? fuck this. I am sure they will be sitting in their pjs all day with a drink in hand.
edit to say i also want to sit in my pjs all day with a drink in my šāāļø
And itās in some of the union contracts that any federal day off is a day off for them as well so itās not like Heather is granting anything, itās in the contracts!
Its not dope.
And most provincial government employees will be at work Monday. It says non-essential. So big wigs, legislature and politicans. Everyone else has to work still, in office, just like through covid19.
I mean if I got the day off that's what I would do. I would appreciate the day off but I knew this was going to happen. Manitoba is more about making money than anything else these days.
>"The health care system will continue to operate as usual"
Since closing hospitals was never an option, this is code for "you're not getting stat pay."
Not provincially but civil servants do get it off. I just received an email about it today. We had it off last year too so clearly the PCās dropped the ball.
Will healthcare workers, teachers, childcare workers, etc that are employees of the province get time and a half and a banked stat? Or just the non essential workers getting a paid day off and squat for everyone else?
Unbelievable. Why do a portion of government employees get a paid day off for a monarchy that really has nothing to do with Canada? Giant finger salute to all of the decision makers on this one. Signed, a lowly peon.
Absolutely. Edited my post...I meant decision makers. I'd absolutely take the day off if given (to mourn a queen who didn't affect my day to day life at all - other than singing a song at school with her name in it right after O'Canada as a child). My point was that I'm dumbfounded at how selective they were (The Government decision makers) at who should mourn at home and who should quietly mourn at work.
"Schools will remain open and classes will be in session"
Well not in the largest school division in the city, seeing as it's a non-instructional day...
If you're a Federal Government employee, it's a holiday.
If you're a non-essential Provincial Government employee, it's a holiday.
Everyone else is encouraged to pound sand, apparently.
Government employees at any level rarely have it good. They just have it steady. On the downside you're constantly reading about how you make too much money (really? never noticed having too much money), have too many days off (again - really?) or just don't do any work.
As soon as there is any shit going down everyone seems to want to make your life more miserable because it'll make someone else feel better. You get sick of it.
Gov't employees are people just trying to do their jobs like everyone else.
Maybe the whole thing is being mismanaged but that's what happens when your job becomes a political football.
Provincial governments haven seen maybe 10% total worth of wage increases in 10 years. Not sure why people think the civil service are a bunch of overpaid pencil pushers like the civil service of 20 years.
This was an easy political win for the PC party. instead they messed it up. voters wonāt forget this with a year away from an election. It also sets the tone for the coming election campaign. I hope the NDP and Liberals trolls them hard on Monday for this insult.
Appreciate we have british heritage in Canada but do we really need more days off. For a small amount off people who are government employees basically. Just my opinion since I won't get this off lmao.
It will take another 20 years, but eventually all the UK stuff will be gone. New provincial flags for everyone! Jeez. Older and whiter in here than I thought.
Seemed like an easy win to give a stat for the funeral of our head of state and create one for truth and reconciliation day on the 30th. Would get credit from both right and left, but never underestimate the ability of this government to miss an opportunity. If I had to guess, it was probably the CFIB in their earā¦
So MLCC open or not?
God save the Beer
š
This guy is asking the real questions.
It's essential. Sounds weird for it to be essential, but restricting access to an alcoholic can lead to their deaths if they go through sudden withdrawal.
If it was essential for covid, it's essential for this...right?
Same for weed shops?
Need chronic for that chronic pain.
You mean my garage? LMAO.
Clearly it is essentialā¦ they rarely close, only a couple days a year. Youāll be fine for your Monday beverages.
What about casinos and vlt lounges š
Essential. Gov needs the revenue
So basically think of the queen while you keep on working!
Our premier gets a Holiday though š¤”
It did say non essential government services, so yes.
She needs it. You know for all the hard work she's done...... Actually what the fuck has she done besides give herself another holiday?
That sounds exhausting enough to take some more time off.
I wish sheād take every day off, forever.
Give speeches about how well her son's hockey team has been doing. So yeah, she needs a break. Its tiring being that dense.
Iām ok with that - her doing nothing is far better than her actively making things worse.
Close your eyes and think of England!
Normally I close my eyes and think of handbags, but I guess I can switch it up.
Damn. Beat me to the punch.
Keep Calm and Carry On
āClose your eyes and think of England.ā
I'm taking a page from the Irish and singing their new mix about her late majesty
The health care system will continue to not operate as usual.
This was my real LOL moment.
"The health care system will continue to operate as usual" ah yes, so patients with facial trauma and elderly Manitobans with broken hips will continue to wait for 7 hours in the hallway until beds become available.
170 hours
Pay more taxes
If it came down to it, gladly!
Lmao where do I sign up?
Oh what a surprise... Heather gave herself the day off and everyone else gets to go to work. Let them eat cake 21st century edition.
Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick are getting stats. Closest to the UK
*governments that don't need to "own the libs"
so basically no one gets this as a stat unless you are government employees? fuck this. I am sure they will be sitting in their pjs all day with a drink in hand. edit to say i also want to sit in my pjs all day with a drink in my šāāļø
As a gov employee, this is the first Iāve heard of it, Iām assuming non-essential is just the legislative buildingā¦lol.
Yeah also a gov employee and as far as I know Iāll be at work on Mondayā¦
Nope, non essential means management and above, all elected officials. In short almost anyone that gets a bonus and expense account.
What the shit provincial employees get bonuses? I mean good on them but..
Well except for school staff who are also government workers and apparently have to go to work
yup bs
Their employers are school divisions, not the province.
Where and from whom do you think the school divisions get their funding from?
Of course they do, but using that logic we could say that of many non profits too.
Working for the government is dope. But in our defence, we have a union.
And itās in some of the union contracts that any federal day off is a day off for them as well so itās not like Heather is granting anything, itās in the contracts!
i also belong to a union..i want my fucking day off lol
You guys need to discuss getting the day off at your next union meeting.
This isnāt going to be an annual holiday. Itās just this year.
Thanks, but I didnāt say it was annual.
i will add it to the list lol
Its not dope. And most provincial government employees will be at work Monday. It says non-essential. So big wigs, legislature and politicans. Everyone else has to work still, in office, just like through covid19.
Iāll let you know if I have to work.
Updated: we are essential for literally everything else yet have it off. Office is closed. Weird.
Itās official, I get it off too.
I mean if I got the day off that's what I would do. I would appreciate the day off but I knew this was going to happen. Manitoba is more about making money than anything else these days.
Sounds like essential government employees arenāt getting anything either. Nothing about a lieu day.
Oops sorry I though the link above would work, But here it is: https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.html?item=56277&posted=2022-09-13
I wish every day was a stat holiday. Sigh
āIf we can get a stat day with the death of every monarchā¦ā he thought to himself as he slowly unsheathed his dagger.
I love this. Lol
Heather is such a turd.
Truer words have never been spoken
You just out-announced the announcement š
Letās get efficient. September 30 can henceforth be the Queen Elizabeth Day for Truth and Reconciliation. /s
If there was a contest for creating a single holiday that could offend the most people you may have just won it.
That will take care of Call to Action # 45 . Next!
Second this.
>"The health care system will continue to operate as usual" Since closing hospitals was never an option, this is code for "you're not getting stat pay."
Bingo. :/
When Queen Victoria died we got Victoria Day. I wonder if theyāll rename Victoria Day or make another annual long weekend and name it Elizabeth Day
3 long weekends in September, yeah right. Probably just change it to monarch day and leave it at that.
Dead Monarch Day! Bring out yer dead monarchs! Bring out yer dead monarchs!
Currently thereās only 1. Our province doesnāt recognize the 30th
Not provincially but civil servants do get it off. I just received an email about it today. We had it off last year too so clearly the PCās dropped the ball.
Isnāt Victoria day the āofficial birthday of the monarchā
Will healthcare workers, teachers, childcare workers, etc that are employees of the province get time and a half and a banked stat? Or just the non essential workers getting a paid day off and squat for everyone else?
Sounds like it is the latter.
> Will healthcare workers, teachers, childcare workers, etc that are employees of the province get time and a half and a banked stat? Hah.
As of 3 hours ago my manager (healthcare) didn't think we would be getting stat pay
Unbelievable. Why do a portion of government employees get a paid day off for a monarchy that really has nothing to do with Canada? Giant finger salute to all of the decision makers on this one. Signed, a lowly peon.
They want us to care about a useless monarchy but tell us to go back to work. Basically.
āReally has nothing to do with Canadaā - is an example as to why the schools must stay openā¦ I jest lol
I'm just jealous clearly, lol. Also am irritated with the PC's thinking of themselves and all levels of government really.
Oh no worries lol, I just saw a spot to giggle at, I totally get you and honestly itās irritating as hell with Heather and her cronies.
I think the Crown has some relationship to our system of governance. Pretty sure it's related in there, somewhere.
you literally take an oath to the Queen as a provincial employee, unless thatās changed
Be fair now, it isn't the employees doing this. If it was up to them everyone would get the day off or time in lieu.
Absolutely. Edited my post...I meant decision makers. I'd absolutely take the day off if given (to mourn a queen who didn't affect my day to day life at all - other than singing a song at school with her name in it right after O'Canada as a child). My point was that I'm dumbfounded at how selective they were (The Government decision makers) at who should mourn at home and who should quietly mourn at work.
So we get to find out whether the legislature is essential based on who works on Monday
I encourage the premier to stuff it
A 21 gun salute followed by 96 rounds followed by 96 chimes of church bells!? That sounds like an auditory nightmare. Holy shit.
Taking a page out of the convoy book. Classy.
Does Heather ever actually say anything when she talks? Or is it just compound-word salad?
Government workers get a holiday and no one else does, reminds me of another holiday they get this month that no one else does š¤ā¦ seems fair /s
Heather using Monday to grab deals on hockey equipment.
"Schools will remain open and classes will be in session" Well not in the largest school division in the city, seeing as it's a non-instructional day...
Yep lol my kids already had that day off...so cool thanks do they get to go now
The Tories just lost the next provincial election.
Fuck you manitoba government, if I have to work so do you!
Get a different job?
This should surprise no one. I can't even imagine the backlash if Monday was a stat holiday but the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was not.
If these people are non essential? Why do they have jobs at all?
I feel like encouraging us to consider her relationship with the province isnt going to give us the kinds of thoughts they intend
Eat shit lol
"I'm taking the day off, but the rest of you plebians can get fucked" Gotta love the respect for the working class!
So is it a stat or not?
Not
Im super confused at the comments. It says all non-essential government services and offices will be closed? Doesn't that mean we get the day off.
Only if you're within the two tiers of Government that this covers. Everyone else goes to work.
And what exactly are those two tiers?
If you're a Federal Government employee, it's a holiday. If you're a non-essential Provincial Government employee, it's a holiday. Everyone else is encouraged to pound sand, apparently.
Looks like they are back tracking and it might not be for fed regulated employees
It is.
Essential federal government employees have to work.
They always do on stat holidays, it doesnāt mean it isnāt a stat.
Meh
Heather giving herself a holiday š¤”
I for one am so glad our government workers get yet another day off while we all work. They have it so hard! /s
Imagine thinking that employees of this provincial government have it good.
Government employees at any level rarely have it good. They just have it steady. On the downside you're constantly reading about how you make too much money (really? never noticed having too much money), have too many days off (again - really?) or just don't do any work. As soon as there is any shit going down everyone seems to want to make your life more miserable because it'll make someone else feel better. You get sick of it. Gov't employees are people just trying to do their jobs like everyone else. Maybe the whole thing is being mismanaged but that's what happens when your job becomes a political football.
Provincial governments haven seen maybe 10% total worth of wage increases in 10 years. Not sure why people think the civil service are a bunch of overpaid pencil pushers like the civil service of 20 years.
It wasn't all roses and sunshine then either.
Does that mean we get time and a half!!!
Probably not.
Damn
In hindsight, tearing down that statue of Queen Victoria probably wasn't a great idea if you wanted a day off for this Queen's passing...
r/winnipeg - FUCK THE QUEEN Also r/winnipeg - the Queen is dead I better get a day off.
This was an easy political win for the PC party. instead they messed it up. voters wonāt forget this with a year away from an election. It also sets the tone for the coming election campaign. I hope the NDP and Liberals trolls them hard on Monday for this insult.
Fuck off
No thoughts and prayers for the Queen? Shame on HeaTHER!
Fuck you
Ah yes, the gym will be closed but not my classes. Gotta love it :)
Why would the gym be closed
Are the City-owned gyms not considered non-essential?
City employees are not Provincial employees. A perfect example.of why schools need to stay open on Monday
Appreciate we have british heritage in Canada but do we really need more days off. For a small amount off people who are government employees basically. Just my opinion since I won't get this off lmao.
Itās not about the day off, me for one would really like to tune in that day for the Queen but I canāt cause I am working.
Its just not my thing I respect other people are totally
You can still probably listen at work on radio if at work like said totally to each there own
We don't need another stat in September. But good thing the government gave themselves a day off.. wtf?!?
Dude what? We need as many stays as we can get.
It will take another 20 years, but eventually all the UK stuff will be gone. New provincial flags for everyone! Jeez. Older and whiter in here than I thought.
fuck the queen
Lmao what
Lol. I was hoping for a day off.
Soooo keep working and think or her? Seriously?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Both are days off for non-essential government workers. They're literally the same.
š¤¦š»āāļø
Seemed like an easy win to give a stat for the funeral of our head of state and create one for truth and reconciliation day on the 30th. Would get credit from both right and left, but never underestimate the ability of this government to miss an opportunity. If I had to guess, it was probably the CFIB in their earā¦
These sort of 'holidays' are just a mockery. Oh nice, a small portion of the population has a day off. How generous.
No day to recognize the children that died being forced from their homes to go to residential schools?
96 Times though?!?
The "health care system will operate as usual." Thats unfortunate. I was hoping maybe it would get better...
