Jordan’s principal is the only federally funded entity that pays their creditors up to 120 days in arrears. At the moment they are 90 days in arrears on invoices owed to me as a contracted therapist. They have consistently been 90 days past due with me for the last year. This month they will pay me only for the invoices due to me for the month of March. They will not pay up to what they owe me, which is March, April and May. Do you know any other business out there that can get away with this? Jordans Principle can get away with it because if you email them regarding your past two invoices, they just simply ignore you. I provide service to the peoples in my community. I have not stopped seeing my clients, even though I am not being paid for my services. They are depending on that Jordans Principle is depending on the fact that I will not desert my clients and leave them. Can I ask you could you afford to live without getting paid for three months? Could you afford to not be paid for three months? Right now, I am struggling to pay my mortgage and to feed my own family because of the money owed to me by Jordans Principle. It is sad when the federal government cannot pull it together enough to pay their contracted workers on time. At first they were saying oh it’s because we went on strike that’s why we’re paying late but they’ve never caught up. I have a vendor number that they could easily look up and see all, my invoices that they are owed me. Why will they not pay me what they owe me? I’ve done the work and I work hard for my clients generally really love my job and I love what I do for my community. My families are amazing and resilient and they’re full of kindness and goodness, this is the thanks that I get for wanting to be a helper my community for wanting to support reconciliation for wanting to support the mental wellness of the people of my community. This is the thanks I get from the federal government and Jordans Principle.

I have to mention at the same time that I have read on the forms here on Reddit that people who have been paying for mental health assessments for the children, paying for medical equipment, paying for travel expenses, etc., to bring their children into the city are not being reimbursed for three or four months at a time. Some people are suffering from financial hardships. They want their children to be happy and healthy but yet again, Jordans Principle is not paying them when they put in receipts to be paid. Now I can’t speak one percent because I’m only going by what I’m reading, but I can’t speak from my situation and the financial struggle that I am going through being an independent contractor for Jordans Principle, I have heard several people within our community stating they will not deal with Jordans Principle that being doctors, therapist, other workers in general because they do not pay their bills on time and they expect you to wait three months for payments.

Is there anything that we can do about Jordans Principle premier Kinew? Is there anything that we can do about Jordans Principle? Why can they not pay their bills on time? What is wrong with the federal government government that they cannot train their employees to pay invoices on timeWhy can they not pay their bills on time? What is wrong with the federal government government that they cannot train their employees to pay invoices on time? And while I’m airing my grievances, why does it take up to three months to have a child/youth approved for mental health services?

Grocery shopping made cheaper?

Why do they not put more pressure on production companies…

One reason big box stores can sell items cheaper is because they buy in bulk …

If they gave smaller grocers the same item price, even if they don’t buy as many cases, they could then have lower prices in the small grocers the same as big box stores.

This would help the smaller neighborhood grocers and consumers … we wouldn’t have to shop the big box stores, which in turn, the big box stores would have to lower prices to compete more fairly …

Hi, I'm a university student hopefully entering politics after I'm done my studies (with work being done now to accomplish that) but I know that politics is a game of knowledge, ressources and group work and I need help. I'm looking for anyone who may be interested in hopefully entering politics and working toward likeminded goals. I ask because I feel the recent provincial election and next federal election are telling of the issues my generation are gonna feel working with and alongside. Im no radical, I'm just fed up with a lack of change in housing, transportation, workers rights, education and thus innovation while entrenched parties don't seem keen on change until its ballot time. Before you get your hopes up, I dont like any federal party leader presently and I think the provincial leaders were dissapointing.

Feel free to reply or message me, no hate or trigger was intended or wanted, I'm just genuinely passionate and seeking others beyond the internet garbage (and propaganda) and the academic blah.

All it says is the bill has been passed to increase natural gas prices, so they can charge us more money, but nothing explaining why. Are we not given an explanation and it can’t be just “natural gas is hard to come by” because if you know anything it isn’t. At all. Hydro produces so much energy that I don’t get how they can increase this shit anymore. Not only that Canada has an abundant supply of natural gas. I own a starter home but increasing prices like this make it incredibly hard to save and further my education for myself. Am I suppose to start a family when I’m 40 (27 now) or does our government not give a shit about us anymore and just love to take our money to make us dirt poor.

Edit: I understand the frustration from a lot of you. I misread the article and read lower down with the effective rates from September 2023. I’m sorry if I upset you I was just concerned as my house is not currently being used and from my December bill to January I saw an increase in price and assumed it was from the hike, and I was wrong. Sorry if I hurt any of your feelings with the post.

Motion M-86 for a National Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform is having its final debate in Parliament on Monday, and most Winnipeg MPs are still undecided! If you feel that Canada's electoral system could be changed or improved in any way, this is your chance to be heard! All you need to do is leave a voicemail message at your MP's Ottawa office this weekend, stating your name and postal code, say you're a constituent, and that you want them to vote yes to Motion M-86! If their office sees dozens of messages on Monday morning from constituents, that sends a powerful and effective message!
