Congratulations, under a new agreement of this type you will be able to work from the office 7 days a week.

Speaking of!

Quote:
Bruce Fanjoy, who represents the Carleton riding in the House of Commons, said in a social media post there's no evidence the policy will boost productivity and warned it will increase pollution.

He also said the new policy makes it harder for the government to reduce its operating costs, improve affordability and protect the environment.

The federal government is ordering public servants to be in the office at least four days a week starting in July, while executives are expected to return to the office full-time in May.

Fanjoy, who represents an eastern Ontario riding with more than 10,000 public servants, argued the policy also makes it harder for public servants to balance their work with other responsibilities.

He pushed for what he called a "flexible" hybrid model with a mix of in-office and remote work.

"The right balance is flexible and depends on circumstances," he said. "Done well, a hybrid model reduces the cost of government and benefits workers and all Canadians."

Extra notable in that Bruce is the one who personally chased PPoil from Ontario.

A fair comment I think, though we will have to forgive him for his comment on types of working models and their benefit to all Canadians, as we understand such comments are complete derailments and explicitly unrelated to Canadian politics. Do better Bruce. But thank you for beating Pierre.

Fanjoy knows his constituents, I suspect he's going to hold that riding for a good long while. Poilievre's rhetoric about slashing the size of the public service workforce was a massive own-goal considering Carleton's demographics.

This is an interesting story, an election result from the last election has been nullified by the courts. The article doesn't mention what happens next but I'm assuming they are forced to have a by-election ASAP as a result.

The Supreme Court of Canada annulled the results of a closely contested riding from last spring's election on Friday.

The Montreal-area riding of Terrebonne was initially declared for the Bloc Québécois until a judicial recount found the Liberals had won the seat by one vote.

But Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, the Bloc candidate, called on the courts to annul the results and call a new election after CBC News reported that a voter had their mail-in ballot returned to them due to a misprint on the return envelope.

The voter, Emmanuelle Bossé, had marked her ballot for the Bloc.

Elections Canada acknowledged the error but said the results had already been finalized.

Liberal Tatiana Auguste was sworn in as the riding's MP following the recount and has been sitting as Terrebonne's representative since.

In October, a Superior Court judge rejected Sinclair-Desgagné's call for a do-over, arguing that a postal code mishap amounted to "human error" and does not constitute an irregularity as defined under federal electoral law.

The top court overturned that ruling after hearing arguments earlier in the day.

This is the kind of story that makes me proud to be a Canadian. Does anyone know what would have happened had that mail in ballot been counted properly? Does the returning officer flip a coin when a vote is tied between the top two vote getters?

I'm just looking at the vote count on wikipedia and it appears the Liberal candidate won the riding by two votes, not one. Why the annulment then?

I thought it was by one vote based on recent articles.
