  1. Somebody needs to explain to Trump that the person who commits fraud is the disgrace.

  3. Wow... She just doesn't understand how we might possibly apply a tax based on historical data and bookkeeping alone for some reason lol its not complicated

  4. Wow... 11 years later when half the old smokers have either died or quit, and after 11 years of profiting while also never admitting guilt or apologizing. Absolutely pitiful job our country has done with this.

  5. Jamaican dem know di record full stop. Nah wan fi mek him customer feel uncomfortable so instead of put another hand inna dem pocket by coercive tactics, skip di preset prompts and just let an option deh fi let dem know shoulda wan fi pay more. Excuse my badgered 2nd generation island talk 😅 just trying to show some regard for doing it right and better than than most, looking after people before themself with that long game in mind instead of a quick unsightly freebie. Mad respect fi dem who trade service for cash not dignity. We should all be so kind with our time and energy to promote businesses who do good business instead of focusing on just price or just taste, if the price is ok and taste is ok but the owner is going a mile outta di way to help mek customer dem feel a fair transaction that should count just as much. If we had more positive responses as the public for ethical business practises then there wouldn't be so many scams, and apps with rewards program to sell data, or emotional pressures to overpay for everything above listed prices. We shouldn't need to hide costs or trick people to support fair wages, just list the right price and let us decide if we're willing to pay it without "stimulating" spending by coercion.

  6. This is infuriating. Your eyes are built to see light, blocking light is like wearing a patch and being blind to protect your vision... Blue light helps reduce disturbance to sleep. Reduce, disturbed. That's it. Macular degeneration does not occur from color projections. Wavelengths are not more or less powerful coming from a screen, light doesn't peel our physical eyes apart. This is such nonsense!

  7. Trade agreements historically have never benefited the middle class and lower class. This one specifically also forfeits the country's right to govern, and it nullifies environmental protection, privacy, health standards in food, supply of generic pharmaceuticals and creates a breed of corporations more powerful than governments by definition of their extended international rights. The few details available to any informed person are more than enough reason not to support TPP, no pandering or subjectivisme necessary.

  8. +Shai Petel without a chance for debate because it was prepared behind doors for several years... That's pretty devious for a transparent agreement, no? Any economist will tell you that local economies provide a greater net benefit to the population than global ones. Historically and theoretically the deal does not benefit the majority of Canadians, and the ones who do benefit are in the least need and lowest tax brackets. It's a net loss deal in every single way

  9. We won't be well positioned if the tax payers agree to open themselves up to legal liability for policy changes enacted in the interests of the people if they potentially infringe on the profits of foreign and domestic transnational corporations. I really hope Trudeau knows how to read...

  10. +✘52 percent✘ that's not at all true. The cost is middle income jobs for higher returns and dividends to people who earn a living on capital gains which produce half the tax revenue of regular income. It's a net loss in every way. Canada can be sued for being environmentally conscious under the agreement if a company decides that our wanting clean rivers infringes on their ability to profit. Tax payers on the hook for millions to pay millionaires for keeping water clean in addition to less tax revenue and fewer middle class jobs.
