I have never understood the value of an observer seat as you get exposure and concomitant liability without the ability to actually vote on something. Plus observers are not included in the usual D&O package.
Yeah that's a really good point... Is this perhaps one of those hyper specific job postings so that a company can skirt some sort of regulation about hiring immigrants by saying they did a search? but why Apple? And why Camrose...
I've been a CAN/Modo member for well over a decade. Having to return the car makes it drastically inferior to car2go/evo for most purposes. Definitely superior for doing a home depot run or helping someone move, though.
For whatever reason, Canadians seem to be more open to multifamily high-rise living. As a child in the 1970s it always seemed off to me when we'd visit relatives in smallish towns in Canada which had midrise buildings while in the southern US where we lived much larger cities had few recent buildings of similar heights. This is simply my recollection of things but it seemed like even a small town of 20,000 in Ontario had good odds of having a residential building at least ten stories tall. Perhaps it was a difference in government policy in how it built social housing?
Reduced heating costs perhaps? Heating from -40 to room temp is much, much more expensive than, say, air conditioning in the southern US. If you are not averse to sharing some walls, it makes sense.
Personally, I don't think I could go back to apartment living, but I will also readily admit that I am not a good candidate for "normal" in most regards.
