Aboriginal law expert, Tom Isaac on the recent Musqueam First Nation agreements:
“It is, from a process point of view, it’s, and I’ll say it again, absolutely unacceptable that public democratic governments are entering into agreements acknowledging Aboriginal title in any form when it’s an exclusive right to land, according to the Supreme Court of Canada, without consulting in some way with their constituency, which is the public”

From the ADP report:
"The pay premium for switching employers hit a record low in February."
When the jobs market is hot, you can command increases in pay for switching jobs but in a cool labor market, that premium compresses.
