Awesome! I had no idea they did this much. I thought it was just one last chance in the bins then they're off to the landfill. They should have more outlets since transportation costs so much. There's none within reasonable distance of where I live (upstate NY). I also wish Goodwill was more transparent about what they do with the money. I keep hearing job placement but they must take in so much. I much prefer to shop at local community-run thrifts that don't have CEO's with large paychecks. Still, it's amazing that Goodwill is taking these steps.
This is Awesome! Calgary needs to do this please!!
We've been doing Goodwill Outlets for over a decade in the U.S.
This is great!
Good ideas, the candles in teacup great
I love the steps that are being taking to ensure that the products that end up at Goodwill that are not being sold don't up in landfills or being send off to different countries to be sold. I know in America there are Goodwill outlets but I wonder if they go a step further then the outlets.
Savers does the same thing! I like this idea.
1/2 of my house is from GW & hauled 3 carloads to donate & downsize
This guys first language is English, and he is a master of the language, therefore he can talk 5x faster than the average Canadian
This is awesome.
When trying to save items from going to landfill to resell. Im stealing from the poor 🤔
This video is once again showing off how (comparitivly) frightning albertan economy is...below is me Paraphrasing from the works of one peter Zeihan about my frustrations...I have cousins living in Alberta across the Rockies and we’ve talked incessantly about the appalling treatment of the central sections of the country.
Quebec is as vitriolically Francophone as the Maritimes are Anglophone. A huge chunk of the population of Toronto is South Asian, while East Asians tend to be overrepresented in Vancouver. The Prairies are as white bread as America’s upper-Midwest. These splits at least partially explain the seemingly never-ending drama of Quebecois separatism, but it is the intersection of demography and economics where the real problems erupt:
The Maritimes’ economies crashed decades ago and its subsequent “recovery” has been anemic at best. Now those provinces have all aged into mass retirement making them de facto wards of the national government. Mighty Quebec is only a few years behind, and is making the transition to demographic basket case right now. Both British Colombia and Ontario are no more than five years behind Quebec. A big piece of the BC economy is serving as the gateway to Asia, and the Trump administration’s trade war is likely to enervate those links. Even worse, the NAFTA-integrated manufacturing and agriculture that makes Ontario and Quebec hum were sectors that specifically benefited from NAFTA1, and which now face far steeper competition from the United States and Mexico under NAFTA2. More specifically, Quebec’s aerospace company, Bombardier, is both one of the most heavily subsidized in the world and is linked into Airbus - a firm that is both the target of extensive American tariffs and one whose fate is locked up in the Brexit drama.
The demographically young provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, a pair of entities whose economies depend upon old-school oil and natural gas production. For years now, funds transfers from the pair - quintuply so from Alberta - to the center is what has enabled Canada to enjoy its much-lauded social welfare state.
That’s not the end of the story, but instead just the beginning.
Under Justin Trudeau’s rule Canada has… gotten by. There have been no disasters, but few serious new policies. Really, Justin Trudeau’s administration has only shifted two things.
First, it has steadily centralized power in Ottawa, making it easier to drain cash from Alberta and Saskatchewan both to balance out the slipping economic performance of the rest of the country, and to push this or that pet policy. The pet policy of the moment is a fairly aggressive environmental program that has proven popular with Justin Trudeau’s base. That program has put ever-more-stringent restrictions on the economies of Alberta and Saskatchewan - specifically on the sectors that make the Canadian national budget possible.
The Canadians voted in national elections October 21. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals were not exactly gutted, but they lost a lot of seats ending up with just 157, thirteen shy of what’s necessary to form a majority government. That will force the Liberals to rely upon support from the Greens (whose primary concerns are climate change policies) and the NDP (who are like a more math-challenged version of the Greens).
Political sentiment in Alberta and Saskatchewan turned sharply anti-Green and anti-Trudeau years ago. The Albertans and Saskatchewanians assert the Greens, the NDP and the Trudeau government are actively conspiring to stymie any and all efforts to get Albertan and Saskatchewan energy exports to the wider world. The Greens and NDP openly say they do, with anti-Albertan policies in the one province they control - British Colombia - having reached the point that BC and Alberta have a hot little inter-provincial trade war going. The Trudeau government attempts to be at least a bit circumspect on the issue, but under Justin Trudeau’s rule construction has yet to begin on a single cross-province pipeline. (Give Alberta their damn pipe)
There is no modern Canada without Albertan and Saskatchewan financial strength, and there is no Albertan and Saskatchewan financial strength without the two provinces’ energy sectors. Now, with the Liberals needing Green/NDP support to rule, the already-deep political split is taking on more ideological, more hostile overtones.
CBC why is this country shooting it’s foot?
The cbc is a soup sandwich
To our Northern neighbor's from the lower 48. How many times do we have to tell you Canadian's your spelling Centre wrong. Even spell check say's your wrong. Follow along. C E N T E R Center. Have a nice weakend
Change your dictionary to English, UK 😉
Canada and the US have different dialects of English. It’s the same language, but the US distances themselves from the UK when they declared independence. Canada was different and their dialect of English is different from the US’s dialect of English.
"Weekend"
As soon as y'all learn how to spell "Judgement" !! From your loving northern neighbours, God Bless America and TRUMP 2020!!!!
No, no, no. It's "centre" and it's "colours". Not center and colors.
