Whoever codes the program display set Pope Leo's new concert to record from 1 to 2 PM PDT on NBC. But the show was run on that channel from 10 - 11 AM!

How does this happen? This new system doesn't allow for manual overrides. If the program system is wrong you lose out.

And they're really sloppy in other ways. One series of shows has the same description on every episode and each is described as S2 with no episode number. The season isn't important, the episode is, particularly if there are multiple showings of each episode.

Shaw needs a competent person who cares doing this, not someone who doesn't bother getting it right.

Why is this happening again? This isn't what we pay for - the prices go up, the performance goes down. Even a show I recorded a couple of weeks ago is doing it.

Is there any way to notify them that they've screwed up the programming or is it just as hard as everything else with them?

They've set the time for one episode of a show as 30 minutes while the channel is listing it (correctly) as 60 minutes.

In case it helps someone, Wattbricks Portable 100W Power Station and Solar Panel Bundle.

It's a very small power station but it's $40 (+ tax etc.)

Just on TV today.

Incredibly badly designed. I have one simple question and it is so stupid it assumes things that are nonsense.

I hate bad websites.

There is no shortage of politicians willing to stand in front of a camera and declare that Canada needs more skilled tradespeople. And they’re right. By most estimates, we face a shortfall of more than 100,000 certified journeypersons over the next decade. Governments have responded with recruitment campaigns, apprenticeship grants and glossy awareness initiatives designed to convince young Canadians the trades are a good career path.

What nobody talks about is what happens after they sign up. By 2024, fewer than one in five apprentices who had signed on in 2019 had been certified within their program’s expected duration, while 30.9 per cent had discontinued — as per Statistics Canada’s most recent Registered Apprenticeship Information System release. Not because they couldn’t do the work — most had already logged thousands of hours of supervised on-the-job training — but because there is virtually no institutional infrastructure to help them pass the single most consequential test of their career.

We have decided that the skilled trades are critical to the national economy and then built a system that loses half its candidates at the final gate. Not at recruitment or during training but at certification.
