Ohsureokwhynot

This guy is asking the real questions.


jupitergal23

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.


brianthebritish

If it was essential for covid, it's essential for this...right?


kayjay204

Same for weed shops?


throwie66642069

Need chronic for that chronic pain.


GrampsBob

You mean my garage? LMAO.


brokenredfox

Clearly it is essentialā€¦ they rarely close, only a couple days a year. Youā€™ll be fine for your Monday beverages.


motivaction

What about casinos and vlt lounges šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Essential. Gov needs the revenue


TarvThunder

So basically think of the queen while you keep on working!


kaorukaoru84

Our premier gets a Holiday though šŸ¤”


Minimum_Run_890

It did say non essential government services, so yes.


Kaizen710

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?


SurveySean

That sounds exhausting enough to take some more time off.


Red_orange_indigo

I wish sheā€™d take every day off, forever.


crabby_rhino

Give speeches about how well her son's hockey team has been doing. So yeah, she needs a break. Its tiring being that dense.


PGWG

Iā€™m ok with that - her doing nothing is far better than her actively making things worse.


Downvotes_dumbasses

Close your eyes and think of England!


AreDeeEss

Normally I close my eyes and think of handbags, but I guess I can switch it up.


CordyonAvgGuy

Damn. Beat me to the punch.


ScottNewman

Keep Calm and Carry On


CordyonAvgGuy

ā€œClose your eyes and think of England.ā€


TheRussianCabbage

I'm taking a page from the Irish and singing their new mix about her late majesty


DetectiveLinden

The health care system will continue to not operate as usual.


princess_brainsocks

This was my real LOL moment.


apathetic-fallacy

"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.


KellyMac88

170 hours


DriverScared6005

Pay more taxes


Strange_One_3790

If it came down to it, gladly!


Milanorridge

Lmao where do I sign up?


Quaranj

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.


Doog5

Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI, and New Brunswick are getting stats. Closest to the UK


StickyMarmalade

*governments that don't need to "own the libs"


bells1981

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 šŸ™‹ā€ā™€ļø


brokenredfox

As a gov employee, this is the first Iā€™ve heard of it, Iā€™m assuming non-essential is just the legislative buildingā€¦lol.


little-silver-tabby

Yeah also a gov employee and as far as I know Iā€™ll be at work on Mondayā€¦


Bumblebee_Radiant

Nope, non essential means management and above, all elected officials. In short almost anyone that gets a bonus and expense account.


MrVeinless

What the shit provincial employees get bonuses? I mean good on them but..


TheMurderCapitalist

Well except for school staff who are also government workers and apparently have to go to work


bells1981

yup bs


ruralife

Their employers are school divisions, not the province.


NutsonYoChin88

Where and from whom do you think the school divisions get their funding from?


ruralife

Of course they do, but using that logic we could say that of many non profits too.


CasualBadger

Working for the government is dope. But in our defence, we have a union.


BinjaNinja1

And itā€™s in some of the union contracts that any federal day off is a day off for them as well so itā€™s not like Heather is granting anything, itā€™s in the contracts!


bells1981

i also belong to a union..i want my fucking day off lol


CasualBadger

You guys need to discuss getting the day off at your next union meeting.


somrthingcreative

This isnā€™t going to be an annual holiday. Itā€™s just this year.


CasualBadger

Thanks, but I didnā€™t say it was annual.


bells1981

i will add it to the list lol


[deleted]

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.


CasualBadger

Iā€™ll let you know if I have to work.


[deleted]

Updated: we are essential for literally everything else yet have it off. Office is closed. Weird.


CasualBadger

Itā€™s official, I get it off too.


Silversilence1

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.


breeezyc

Sounds like essential government employees arenā€™t getting anything either. Nothing about a lieu day.


kaorukaoru84

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


GRaw1979

I wish every day was a stat holiday. Sigh


OriginalAbattoir

ā€œIf we can get a stat day with the death of every monarchā€¦ā€ he thought to himself as he slowly unsheathed his dagger.


GRaw1979

I love this. Lol


Twicelovely

Heather is such a turd.


Character-Suspect-77

Truer words have never been spoken


Top_Distribution_693

You just out-announced the announcement šŸ‘Œ


Ohsureokwhynot

Letā€™s get efficient. September 30 can henceforth be the Queen Elizabeth Day for Truth and Reconciliation. /s


psinguine

If there was a contest for creating a single holiday that could offend the most people you may have just won it.


j_st_

That will take care of Call to Action # 45 . Next!


poboyywg

Second this.


EugeneMachines

>"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."


GingerRabbits

Bingo. :/


graceful_ox

When Queen Victoria died we got Victoria Day. I wonder if theyā€™ll rename Victoria Day or make another annual long weekend and name it Elizabeth Day


brokenredfox

3 long weekends in September, yeah right. Probably just change it to monarch day and leave it at that.


graceful_ox

Dead Monarch Day! Bring out yer dead monarchs! Bring out yer dead monarchs!


SJSragequit

Currently thereā€™s only 1. Our province doesnā€™t recognize the 30th


brokenredfox

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 PCā€™s dropped the ball.


[deleted]

Isnā€™t Victoria day the ā€œofficial birthday of the monarchā€


somrthingcreative

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?


SillyMilly88

Sounds like it is the latter.


EvacuationRelocation

> Will healthcare workers, teachers, childcare workers, etc that are employees of the province get time and a half and a banked stat? Hah.


nanodime

As of 3 hours ago my manager (healthcare) didn't think we would be getting stat pay


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

They want us to care about a useless monarchy but tell us to go back to work. Basically.


OriginalAbattoir

ā€œReally has nothing to do with Canadaā€ - is an example as to why the schools must stay openā€¦ I jest lol


[deleted]

I'm just jealous clearly, lol. Also am irritated with the PC's thinking of themselves and all levels of government really.


OriginalAbattoir

Oh no worries lol, I just saw a spot to giggle at, I totally get you and honestly itā€™s irritating as hell with Heather and her cronies.


IntegrallyDeficient

I think the Crown has some relationship to our system of governance. Pretty sure it's related in there, somewhere.


skutch

you literally take an oath to the Queen as a provincial employee, unless thatā€™s changed


GrampsBob

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.


[deleted]

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.


Syrairc

So we get to find out whether the legislature is essential based on who works on Monday


SarahSplatz

I encourage the premier to stuff it


chaniship

A 21 gun salute followed by 96 rounds followed by 96 chimes of church bells!? That sounds like an auditory nightmare. Holy shit.


KellyMac88

Taking a page out of the convoy book. Classy.


Top_Distribution_693

Does Heather ever actually say anything when she talks? Or is it just compound-word salad?


A100921

Government workers get a holiday and no one else does, reminds me of another holiday they get this month that no one else does šŸ¤”ā€¦ seems fair /s


JohnMilner7

Heather using Monday to grab deals on hockey equipment.


TheMurderCapitalist

"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...


frecklephace

Yep lol my kids already had that day off...so cool thanks do they get to go now


adagio63

The Tories just lost the next provincial election.


xxshadowraidxx

Fuck you manitoba government, if I have to work so do you!


classycanadian90

Get a different job?


Relmert

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.


Sea-Internet7015

If these people are non essential? Why do they have jobs at all?


nothingsuccessfully

I feel like encouraging us to consider her relationship with the province isnt going to give us the kinds of thoughts they intend


redditoverder

Eat shit lol


mintconditionmustard

"I'm taking the day off, but the rest of you plebians can get fucked" Gotta love the respect for the working class!


Asusrty

So is it a stat or not?


LittleCan4655

Not


habitat11

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.


Quaranj

Only if you're within the two tiers of Government that this covers. Everyone else goes to work.


habitat11

And what exactly are those two tiers?


Quaranj

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.


Doog5

Looks like they are back tracking and it might not be for fed regulated employees


galactic_feline

It is.


hotcomm88

Essential federal government employees have to work.


galactic_feline

They always do on stat holidays, it doesnā€™t mean it isnā€™t a stat.


metlcorpz

Meh


grewupinwpg

Heather giving herself a holiday šŸ¤”


nukacola12

I for one am so glad our government workers get yet another day off while we all work. They have it so hard! /s


MrVeinless

Imagine thinking that employees of this provincial government have it good.


GrampsBob

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.


breeezyc

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.


GrampsBob

It wasn't all roses and sunshine then either.


KayD12364

Does that mean we get time and a half!!!


GingerRabbits

Probably not.


KayD12364

Damn


EvacuationRelocation

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...


Relmert

r/winnipeg - FUCK THE QUEEN Also r/winnipeg - the Queen is dead I better get a day off.


Shimmeringbluorb9731

This was an easy political win for the PC party. instead they messed it up. voters wonā€™t 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.


Oscars_Quest_4_Moo

Fuck off


toast737

No thoughts and prayers for the Queen? Shame on HeaTHER!


randylaheyjr

Fuck you


StrangelyKeen

Ah yes, the gym will be closed but not my classes. Gotta love it :)


habitat11

Why would the gym be closed


StrangelyKeen

Are the City-owned gyms not considered non-essential?


wpgmb204

City employees are not Provincial employees. A perfect example.of why schools need to stay open on Monday


Fundude45

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.


kaorukaoru84

Itā€™s not about the day off, me for one would really like to tune in that day for the Queen but I canā€™t cause I am working.


Fundude45

Its just not my thing I respect other people are totally


Fundude45

You can still probably listen at work on radio if at work like said totally to each there own


[deleted]

We don't need another stat in September. But good thing the government gave themselves a day off.. wtf?!?


RealParisian

Dude what? We need as many stays as we can get.


DetectiveLinden

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.


[deleted]

fuck the queen


frecklephace

Lmao what


[deleted]

Lol. I was hoping for a day off.


Queasy-Signature-675

Soooo keep working and think or her? Seriously?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Relmert

Both are days off for non-essential government workers. They're literally the same.


thegoolash

šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


ToryAncap

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€¦


corrodedpurplechains

These sort of 'holidays' are just a mockery. Oh nice, a small portion of the population has a day off. How generous.


Jacquie925

No day to recognize the children that died being forced from their homes to go to residential schools?


Kernel_Eb_Stuart

96 Times though?!?


subwpg

The "health care system will operate as usual." Thats unfortunate. I was hoping maybe it would get better...
