Election day in Calgary. My thoughts.


Every time we have elections as civil servants most day to day activities are independent of who sits on council. That is what I thought when I started. Now I am starting to see those who are council are very important to the vision of the City. What they decide moves its way across the corporation. Today I am not as worried as I was a week ago.

Thanks to CalgarysFuture.ca, and Cross Border Interview Podcasts for showing me that being open and honest about the process is still possible. I was starting to get worried that social media was forever tainted.

Can you be terminated for not vaccinating? Yes but...


The short answer is not immediately. The median answer is probably but not because you didn't vaccinate yet.  In OHS terms if you replace Vaccinate with Ventilation it might make more sense. Mitigating risk is synonymous with identifying hazards and implementing measures. You always want to eliminate a hazard. If COVID were an atmospheric hazard we would look to ways to eliminate the source. Government OHS may just force businesses to do through the back door what the guise of medical choice can not. This is assuming the hazard to the person is not greater.
