Saw this at the LCBO by South Fraser and Thretewey... Would you ever buy this?

Saw this at the LCBO by South Fraser and Thretewey... Would you ever buy this?

There is 10% PST plus 5% GST, so the total price is $4,800 + ($4800 x 0.15) = $5,520. It says it's $6.86 per milliliter, but in reality it is $7.89 per milliliter.

The standard pour is 25 to 50 ml (about 1 to 1.5 ounces), served in a tulip glass or traditional balloon snifter, filling only about one-fifth of the glass to let aromas develop.

This means it is between $179.25 and $394.50 for a small glass. Unreal.

Edit: I meant the BC Liquor Store. Call it a brain fart.

Didn't know Abby PD had a law enforcement golf cart

I am just wondering in what circumstances this would be used instead of one of the police cruisers?

It's an odd situation...

The company I work for has decided to implement layoffs. Even though I had stellar reviews for the past several years and actually brought new business to the company, I was grouped with other coworkers and was put on an improvement program. The improvement program was to find another job in the company, or I was told I might be let go.

The problem is that my doctor discovered a mass, which after an ultrasound and biopsy, needed surgery as it had a high likelihood of cancer. There was a cancellation by someone else, and I had the opportunity to fast-track the operation. I was off for 4 weeks while doing post-op recovery (two weeks into the improvement plan period).

When I came back, I indicated to HR the Friday before that I was returning to work the following Monday. I got a curt e-mail saying that they trusted I was fully recovered. I didn't respond to this e-mail as I wasn't fully recovered, but, meh, it was what it was, and I wanted to see what would come next.

This was 2 weeks ago. I'm technically not part of the team I used to be; there was only one other position to be found, which I had applied for before the operation, but never heard back, even now, from that team.

So, I log into my company laptop, check my mail, go through e-learning modules, and... that's it. No new assignments, no technical work, no deadlines, nothing. It's like an episode of The Twilight Zone, as they are still paying my salary.

Part of me wants to write an email to HR asking "what now?" But since they are the ones who looked to see me exit the company, I feel it's their job to inquire as to whether I found another position (which they would know, since this would change my work description and likely salary downwards) and make the next moves.

I wonder what you would do in this position?

Collection Of Oriental Memorial Notes

Saw this as an auction item. "Oriental Memorial Notes" (often referred to as joss paper, ancestor money, or Hell Bank Notes) are ceremonial paper offerings. They are traditionally burned during funerals, tomb-sweeping events (like Qingming), and All Souls Day to symbolically provide wealth to deceased ancestors in the afterlife.

Looking for an employment lawyer

Is there any good (actually, ferocious) employment lawyer in Abbotsford? I'd like a consult to confirm a case of constructive dismissal and perhaps a lawsuit. If there was someone you good folks could recommend, I'd be read thankful. Thanks for your time reading this request.
