  1. What really amazes me is that anybody was so determined to watch the Olympics.

  2. Funny, cuz a whole lot of fentanyl comes here from China, and a whole lot of the proceeds are washed in our real estate markets.

  3. Remember when they promised radical transparency?

  4. Looks to me like he was trolling or just being sarcastic
    163
  5. What is a ‘racialized community’?
    116
  6. I’ve never seen somebody retrieve their coat with such grace, tact, and professionalism. 10/10. This is how a real leader retrieves his coat. I bet a conservative would have just stolen the coat from the nearest elderly person or minority, am I right!? - Political dialogue in 2020

  7. As Canadians we are included in the group under scrutiny for not paying our way, and it is deserved. This is like having a group insurance policy w multiple parties not contributing, yet expecting coverage in the event of an incident nonetheless.

  8. Thx thought police!
    70
  9. Cool protest guys. Wrong country though. Go away.

  10. While they are fighting, both cops refrained from throwing strikes and instead they just try to restrain him, which meant putting themselves at risk in order to mitigate damage to the guy. Then the officer pulls his taser and warns him that it will be used. Suspect grabs the taser and wrestles it out of his hands and goes to run. Other cop deploys his own taser, but it doesn’t seem to work well. Everybody goes off screen and we hear gunfire and yelling. The cops appeared to do all they could to prevent this but, when you take one of their weapons from them while fighting them, what outcome do you expect? Even here in Canada I’d expect to be shot at that point.

  11. Hello Hello Idk, maybe start by going after the authorities and not the auto parts store down the street? Stop conflating activism and civil disobedience with self serving criminality.
    61
  12. What makes any of it ‘far’ right?
    61
  13. What exactly is wrong w this? It was basically a run of the mill political cartoon brought to life.
    60
  14. Why is it controversial to ask why he left the role?
    59
  15. Add more ppl. The government says that will help.
    57
  16. Naa. This is a conversation that needs to happen. There are a lot of ppl residing in Canada who have no business being here, and no intention of assimilating. We don’t even have homes for ppl as it is, so its time to discuss getting back to reality when it comes to the economics and politics associated w newcomers.
    54
  17. I’m sure it’s a big coincidence that this is coming out a couple weeks before Trudeau delivers the upcoming throne speech outlining a ‘green new direction’ for Canada. I’m sure it’s all so coincidental.
    53
  18. The biggest question of them all “Umm, can you even define an ‘assault’ style weapon?” Im sure we will just let them make up a definition just like they made up the term. Snakes.
    52
  19. Suddenly Canada wants to make an enemy of an old friend, right as that old friend happens to be exploring the option of establishing a new international economic order w the other BRICS nations. Convenient…
    52
  20. The war isn’t a television show, and it isn’t your job to tell Canadians what is important to them. If the war isn’t interesting them it’s likely because they have more pressing concerns closer to home that you should be covering instead.
    52
  21. The riots aren’t why communities feel unsafe…
    48
  22. Lol hypergamous neverwas actress marries into royal family. Yea, lots for young girls to look up to there. Somebody who thought she was hot and should be paid for her likeness, failed, and then proceeded to marry into wealth. A real trailblazer and a role model for girls the world over.
    46
  23. Simone Edwards It’s not so much ‘Target’ for most people as it is innocent people, their private property, their livelihoods, and the now tarnished memory of Floyd who’s death will now always be associated with the disgusting and insincere opportunists that’s used it as an excuse to score free electronics and furniture.
    43
  24. That’s a nice Christmas you got there. It’d be a shame if anything were to happen to it...
    39
  25. As a Canadian I support Indians keeping their opinions on Canadian land allocation to themselves. Go clean some human waste from your streets.
    38
  26. She has always reminded me of the sorts of teachers that would scold kids in the hallway for having a hat on or holes in the knees of their jeans. You guys lost credibility when you spit on most every promise you made to Canadians and when you spit on Canadians by refusing to reign in your leader and his bestest bud. Had you guys cleaned house when you should have it would have been respectable and it would have shown everybody that you walk the walk. Instead it’s just business as usual, and with the media on your side you get to avoid the Mike Duffy treatment. Must be nice.
    37
  27.  @osmosis321  Just to confirm, you think it is okay for adults to mingle story time for children w a fetish? Why should kids be learning about this particular fetish, and why are they so eager to introduce kids to their fetish?
    36
  28. “First woman of south Asian heritage” Who cares?
    36
  29. Also says Canadians don’t need guns because they can trust other Canadians. So why can’t Canadians trust other Canadians to have guns then? If we can trust other Canadians, then gun CONTROL isn’t necessary either, and there is still no argument to further restrict or prohibit.
    35
  30.  @salsa564  The expression of what? Tell me what it is they are expressing by dressing up as scantily clad women?
    34
  31.  @osmosis321  Naa. Its a fetish. It is sexual in nature, and that is okay, but there is zero good reason to bring kids around it, and it is messed up that this is even being debated.
    34
  32.  @dougpenhall  The irony in you calling the unvaxxed fear mongers…
    34
  33. If you need to force ppl to serve, what nation are you even trying to protect?
    32
  34. We won’t be allowed to have a campfire in 10 years
    32
  35. He is important, so the police are all over it.
    30
  36. If they want to win they’ll elect Lewis. If they want the right person for the job they’ll elect Sloan. There’s a reason the media didn’t go gaga over Lewis the way we all know they would have if this were NDP, Lib, or Green. A black woman at the head of blue team would siphon off a whole lot of votes from red (and maybe orange) team. It would also limit the opportunity for both media and the other parry leaders to issue accusations of racism and sexism.
    29
  37. When a rich person is murdered, the authorities spare no expense.
    29
  38. Hey! You there! Stop that! You are only allowed to party if you can afford to get on a plane and do it on a private island or resort!
    29
  39. You might support it, but jumping for joy and shedding tears of happiness over this is not a healthy reaction to being given permission to potentially take a life in the name of convenience... What would these emotionally incontinent ppl say if a woman lost a wanted fetus to a violent assault? Is it still just an assault charge cuz all that was damaged was a lump of cells?
    29
  40. Wow. That single mom should probably be with her kids taking care of them instead. Nobody forced you to be out there lady. Go feed your kid(s) and get some sleep. Single moms. It’s never their fault...
    29
  41. So, a meatball?
    29
  42. Wow. This guy isn’t really aware of how ppl use social media. It’s important to ppl, but most could stay away from it if it meant, you know, avoiding arrest and/or a gunfight with the police...
    27
  43. charge your phone No im pretty sure he’s talking about all the Hooligans using the tragedy as an excuse to loot and burn. You know, the ones doing a disservice to Floyd’s memory? Those ones.
    26
  44. ‘Sorry guys, but you can’t join our military alliance. Says here one of your ppl burned a book and offended some ppl, so we’ll have to put that whole big international military alliance deal on hold’
    26
  45. Hunters strike again
    25
  46. But you can go get electronics at Wal Mart...
    25
  47. If only we could rely on our MPs to rep their constituents, but we can only expect them to tow the party line.
    25
  48. Why is the gov controlling liquor retail anyway? What year is it again?
    25
  49. Alberta is now approaching 2 months into another ‘two week’ lockdown. Strange... calling it a ‘circuit breaker’ didn’t make it work better.
    24
  50. Cuz they get $ regardless of whether or not they get engagement. They do spin it all however they want, and they laugh while they do so with your $.
    24
  51. 2:00 “Build back better” Really? Using Biden’s campaign slogan?
    23
  52.  @-valkyrie-00  There’s no such thing as ‘the science’. There’s science though, and it isn’t owned by any government, corporation, or NGO, because no one entity can own or speak for it.
    23
  53. Anybody still “shocked” by his antics is simply not paying attention.
    23
  54.  @SuperStella1111  My thoughts too, but that assumes he won’t die under mysterious circumstances before trial.
    23
  55. I’ve never seen so many ppl so eager to play apologist for a violent drunk driver.
    23
  56. They’re just trying to start a structure fire of peace. What’s the big deal?
    22
  57. Can’t even go into the bush anymore without being filmed.
    22
  58. What if I identify as black?
    22
  59. “We Albertans have been generous, and we will continue to be generous” Who says? I’m not in agreement. Who’s in the mood to keep being generous? Generous with what!?
    22
  60. Yea I’d really like Global to explain the nature of the controversy, as well as how it is more controversial to ask why as opposed to hiding why.
    22
  61. I’m sure Fauci is being honest this time.
    22
  62.  @TheAircool1  Lol do some research? How about the drag shows that I had to work at in the past? The ones w ppl dancing around dressed as giant genitals. It’s nothing like a ‘high class restaurant’.
    21
  63.  @rv2167  Just a few years ago we were all being told we need UBI because automation would marginalize labour in too short a time frame for labour markets to adjust to. Now we’re being told that we need infinity immigration because there aren’t enough workers for a future with more and more automation. Which is it?
    21
  64. Lol. How is everybody feeling blindsided by this?
    21
  65. But what do the ppl of G7 countries want?
    21
  66. There is no such thing as an “assault style” firearm. They started saying that after it was finally driven home that the AR doesn’t fit the criteria to be called an assault rifle. They are just making s up as they go, and ppl are lapping it up.
    20
  67. At first I thought he was hiding in his cottage because he wanted to 'lead by example' by not leading at all. Lately I wonder if it isn't at the behest of his security team that he remains isolated and secured away, only rearing his head to issue meaningless platitudes and to make announcements about how much more money he is going to spend on those who tend to vote for him.
    20
  68. Lol. If this weren’t for your pet war you’d be calling this woman all sorts of horrible things.
    20
  69. You know you’re an oppressed group when all the news networks cover a mean letter that your advocacy group received…
    20
  70. “It is clear that his race played a part in the police decision to charge” It is clear that his race played a part in the prosecution’s decision to drop the charges. There, I fixed it for you, ya raze baytor po$
    20
  71. I know. Let’s spend more money.
    19
  72.  @sirisongbird  You must be racist.
    19
  73. Team A-Ok Why? We treat you guys like crap. Most Canadians have nothing good to say about the US unless they are snowbirds.
    19
  74. Ppl can’t even drop politics long enough to sympathize w a man shedding some tears as he remembers his dead son. And Biden’s the monster... This is how deeply you have let them divide you.
    19
  75. “A protester was shot to death in Austin” By a motorist after the protester fired 5 rounds at the motorist. Might want to append that little bit of info to your coverage...
    19
  76. Next do a video on how taxing us and redistributing the wealth through ‘rebates’ cools the planet.
    19
  77. That thumbnail is amazing
    19
  78. ‘Racialized Canadians’ and ‘racialized communities’ These ppl just love making up new words and terms and acting like it is and always was a thing. This is exactly the sort of divisive language my grade school teachers taught us to avoid. Now all our ‘leaders’ and ‘educators’ want to talk about is skin colour and downstairs parts for the purpose ones of ascribing ‘privilege’ and establishing the perception of an identity based hierarchy. Why did you insist on bringing so many minorities to this place if we hate them so, according to you? You’re a hypocritical joke.
    19
  79. Surprised they allowed comments on this one.
    18
  80. As opposed to our totally objective, honest, and well intentioned media…
    18
  81. Actually they parked, waited for him, attempted to stop him while armed with firearms, a scuffle ensued, and then they shot him.
    18
  82. Automatic Tax Filing = Automatic Access to Your Data.
    18
  83.  @bigpacthatseazye3462  There is absolutely a need to assimilate. Deal w it. Our country, our ways.
    17
  84. It is all of our environment. If you want to restrict yourself from the most beautiful places this country has to offer, then be my guest, but I have as much claim to the bush as the bears do. We’re all animals.
    17
  85. Denier or not, taxes won’t fix anything, especially when those taxing you waste the proceeds on insider fluff contracts that won’t drive green tech.
    17
  86. Funny. Where’s all the outrage about the unarmed protester gunned down by the evil police? You guys were all obsessed w this stuff a couple months ago.
    17
  87. “Hard-right” What does this even mean anymore?
    17
  88. How about we get rid of these gold plated pensions?
    17
  89. China won’t report the number of dead. Classic China.
    17
  90. You guys are absolutely shameless
    17
  91. Just think, soon it’ll all pay off and, wait, how does this benefit us exactly?
    17
  92. Jessica Winslet “Because we went to university” When elitism becomes progressive lol.
    16
  93. Can you imagine a country stooping so low as to not bother to take measures to protect itself, and assuming that taxpayers of another nation would/should do it for them?
    16
  94. No. He was calling for patience as the legal process unfolds.
    16
  95. I was treated like garbage in Quebec for not speaking French, and I wasn’t even living there
    16
  96. You aren’t a hero for going to work in a job for which working with the sick and ailing was an existing reality. Everybody pretends that those who lost their incomes sacrifices nothing, and that those who got to keep their incomes are somehow heroic. They didn’t do it to save ppl. They didn’t do it selflessly. They did it for a wage, a wage which many Canadians were actually forced to sacrifice in order, supposedly, to save others. This is perverse manipulation and exploitation of the crisis for political points.
    16
  97. Why make her race part of the headline? How is this even news!?
    16
  98.  @bobwoods1302  Immigrants can’t afford it either, bob. That is why so many are leaving, and making videos explaining that they are leaving because they can’t afford it.
    16
  99. I wonder what is in Haiti that our owners want.
    16
  100. We don’t need to bring in skilled trades. We don’t need to bring in anybody. We have plenty of ppl here who could be trained to do these jobs, and I suspect it would be cheaper to subsidize the costs of training and educating domestically than it is to absorb hundreds of thousands if newcomers a year. A young friend just got into welding and, after finding out how much he was making, his PHD neuroscience proff of a roommate started asking him about getting into the trade lol.
    16
  101.  @yazsam4259  Yes. If you are Canadian then you should live in Canada for the majority of the time, barring specific work related considerations. Canadians live in Canada. If you don’t want to live in Canada, renounce your citizenship.
    15
  102. I’m not learning an entire language because one province on the other side of the country speaks it. I’d be far better served learning one of the myriad other languages I’m now surrounded by in my province, such as Mandarin or Farsi. Ppl in Europe learn English because it’s useful for them to do so. They don’t do it out if courtesy…
    15
  103. Why weren’t you ‘environmentalists’ holding virtual summits for all of those lavish climate change events in exotic places?
    15
  104.  @christopherclubine6650  Yet the outcome is the same wherever it goes.
    15
  105. Such progressivism and tolerance being shown by our cultural betters in the comments. You know you’re on the right side of history when you celebrate the murder of ppl who think differently from you. So enlightened. So progressive.
    15
  106. Wait wait wait. Didn’t our benevolent government take on all of the debt so that Canadians wouldn’t have to?
    14
  107. We shouldn’t be working w them at all after the two Mikes.
    14
  108.  @Grant_S_M  Canada is majority Russian, I guess?
    14
  109. My mother asked me to help her end it. I said I wanted her to fight. After witnessing the suffering and pain that accompanied her final days, I’ve struggled w my decision. It is a terrible way to go; wasting away rapidly and painfully in a depressing hospital room surrounded by strangers who barely even speak your language.
    14
  110. No more dual citizens. You are Canadian, or you aren’t. I struggle to see how having half of China voting in our elections is a good idea.
    14
  111.  @amsa5661  Okay groomer
    14
  112. Oh look, a teacher’s union add here to tell me the teachers are victims again. World Ends. Women, Minorities and Teachers most affected.
    14
  113. I thought all of those ‘green jobs’ were supposed to go to Canadians?
    14
  114. Do tell Global, what is it that these revellers were celebrating on this ill fated night?
    14
  115. You’re racism is so progressive. Such virtuous racism.
    14
  116. Lol, not Europe or America though. We are angels. We never do any of that stuff. Never ever.
    14
  117. How much do you suppose they could do for their cause if they actually lived and behaved the way they expect everybody else to, and acted like you’d expect one would if they believed the world was ending and that there was a behavioural solution? I might actually believe them if they walked the walk a bit.
    14
  118. Maybe we shouldn’t hand out funding based on ethnicity?
    14
  119. “Where black culture can thrive” Nationalism for me but not for thee.
    14
  120. One day, when a filmmaker makes the satirical production that this gov is so deserving of, I hope Freeland is played by Drew Barrymore.
    14
  121. So, they are here to strengthen our economy, but they need to be taken care of by Canadians? Maybe it has less to do w Canadians failing immigrants, and more to do with the excessive and unproductive levels of immigration?
    14
  122. Better ban bb guns now too.
    14
  123. Adjust your meds
    14
  124. Just say no, Canada.
    14
  125.  @TheAircool1  Well, we probably shouldn’t have relied on pseudo slavery to feed us then, hey? Why can’t Canadian producers operate without such conditions?
    13
  126.  @Electrobuzz17  Canadian citizens should be focused on Canada. Dual citizenship should be abolished.
    13
  127. Lol. Rough...
    13
  128. If you overburden your beast such that it’s back breaks when a bird lands upon it, was the bird who killed your beast, or was it you?
    13
  129.  @nancyrogers8377  It isn’t a fact though. You just made it up. We don’t recognize bear property rights. They don’t recognize ours. Oh well 🤷‍♂️. What, do you expect ppl to just roll over and let a bear eat them because they are in the woods for a hike? Give your head a shake.
    13
  130. babybooo2 And you’re a racist.
    13
  131.  @MelioraCogito  Despite most ppl being jabbed…
    13
  132. Because it’s bread and circuses at a time when the well is dry.
    13
  133. You know you’re just being your real authentic self when you use a phoney voice. Totally not crazy at all.
    13
  134.  @christinesmith1499  I’m working class as well, but I understand economics, so I disagree. Why exactly do you feel entitled to the wealth of others, and why call for wealth redistribution instead of simply asking the gov to stop importing competition for you? You’re being squeezed on both the wage/income and price/demand sides by the same gov policy and actions, and instead of focusing on this you blame ppl more successful than you?
    13
  135.  dawnkikong637  Take them into your home then. They can be your responsibility. Why not?
    13
  136. Somebody had to find a way to Bring Trump onto it lol.
    13
  137.  @WindsorStinks  There is very little Liberalism amongst the Liberals though. If the Liberal values run so deep, why aren’t the Liberals Liberal?
    13
  138. Why? Some ppl should be deported, and ppl who support Hamas fit the bill. If I went to Iran and walked around saying ‘Go CIA and go Mossad!’, I’d expect worse than deportation.
    13
  139. Give yourself to the cause
    13
  140. ‘We are keeping Assamge here due to worries that be might be Epsteined ... err umm... I mean, a suicide risk over there.”
    13
  141. These are just mostly peaceful protests, and fairness dictates they get about 3-4 months or so before we reconsider our description.
    12
  142. Canadians need to speak up and make this election a referendum on the central planning of population/demographics. I don’t know anybody who voted for any party because said party promised to blow up the population and radically alter demographics. Nobody asked for this. It is time Canadians got to have a say on whom and how many. It is your home. Start treating it as such.
    12
  143. This just in, more people working now that people are allowed to work again! Oh boy!
    12
  144. But Canada Rev will make sure they get every cent from you, plus interest.
    12
  145. Who says they weren’t ‘respecting’ the wilderness? Is hiking bad now too?
    12
  146. Did Yoda like ordering assassinations of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil?
    12
  147.  @ImDuDu22  Learn English before attempting to lecture Canadians.
    12
  148. Are these by chance the drones being supplied by Iran? You know, that Country who’s women we are suddenly very very concerned for?
    12
  149. Strange. The RCMP will issue tickets to tourists, yet they walked Trudeau right out into that protest and neither ticketed him or any of the protesters.
    12
  150. Kind of a completely different topic, but okay.
    12
  151. We can’t protect LTC homes, but trust us when we tell you we can reset and restructure the economy and bring about utopia.
    12
  152. We have a responsibility for our own before all else. Canada isn’t a spillover reservoir for the world’s problems. If you think more should be done empty out your accounts and clear some room in your house for the cause, otherwise you’re just volunteering the resources of others.
    12
  153.  @b9y843  Journalists call elections now?
    12
  154.  @TheAircool1  Fewer mouths to feed typically doesn’t lead to starvation though
    11
  155. You can’t even take one day to not guilt Canadians?
    11
  156. Lots of sick ppl all over. Why is she special?
    11
  157.  @atoril1  “Being Germany first” Putting your own country first is an extremist position now?
    11
  158.  @yazsam4259  Ukrainian Canadians? Russian Canadians? What are those? I only recognize Canadian Canadians.
    11
  159.  @stratford374  The elections weren’t a referendum on the carbon tax, which is what the OP is asking for, big fella. The party imposing this didn’t receive a majority, nor the popular vote, so the election makes for a poor proxy for a vote on the carbon tax specifically, especially now that ppl are feeling its impacts directly, and perhaps noticing that their luxury beliefs aren’t as affordable as they once were.
    11
  160. The rest combined would receive less resources and effort.
    11
  161. Yes yes, we know, everything you don’t like is right wing.
    11
  162. One would think an engineer would have a good chance at getting in through regular channels, but instead he tries to do things unconventionally and applies for asylum while pretending to be a tourist. His first act was one of needless insincerity, yet we’ll probably let him stay…
    11
  163.  @RonRaphaelBraunsteinisgay  Buy me a new up to date vehicle and I’ll be happy to make the switch, otherwise gfy
    11
  164. Or we could, you know, not import demand so much faster than we can expand supply, especially given that such policies both suppress wages and drive up housing costs. Probably easier to just not pursue bad policies, rather than implement bad policies and then cross one’s fingers hoping for radical market solutions to surface in response. Induced innovation is something, but it isn’t a good thing when your government creates the conditions leading to it…
    11
  165. Why this one? Cuz she is an activist? What about all of the other sick ppl everywhere else who want access to Canadian healthcare?
    11
  166. Why don’t you explain why it’s up to a Canadian news outlet to explain the double standards in the US Justice system? They probably think it’s just as dumb as you do.
    11
  167. Yea. The prospects of state legitimacy and transparency are so awful. And how will I live without poison in my food? The horror.
    11
  168. Why is it we only seem to care about the struggles of public sector workers?
    11
  169. Canadians are less secure. More crime, both violent and otherwise. Why shouldn’t the ppl who created the situation feel the heat as well?
    11
  170. What damages?
    11
  171. 2 feds were shot. One died.
    11
  172. Lol
    11

  177.  @TheAircool1  When I can’t get a job I have to develop better skills and qualifications. Nobody is importing me a high paying job. Why should we import low wage slave labour for inefficient and uncompetitive businesses? You’re right. Ppl don’t want to do hard work for garbage money, just as employers don’t want to pay a high wage for garbage work. We have to fight for jobs. Employers can fight for labour.

Both cowards, near as I can tell, but we only know that one is a coward and corrupt.

  200.  @bobcrane9945  You’re right. It is too low for ppl here, so employers should raise wages to compete for labour, just as we must compete for jobs. How are Canadians any more entitled than employers who think they should be able to bypass Canadian labour so that they can realize returns above and beyond shat their business is actually worth in its market? Canadians subsidize this w high remittances, high housing costs, demand driven general price increases, and a lower trust society. The benefits don’t accrue to wage earning Canadians.

The only way you will ever get accountability out of power is by holding it to a higher standard and making VERY clear examples of those who betray the public trust. Stop incentivizing corruption and scandal by apologizing for and forgiving it, and start calling for some figurative heads to roll and tougher sentencing for positions of trust and authority (politician, police, judge, etc).

  211.  @yasminhia9629  Apples to oranges comparison. Different times w different incentives and economies. Our ancestors came here during a time long before the wholesale marginalization of labour by capital, and when you could get a cheap piece of land and settle down. Look into developing a piece of empty land in Canada now. It is the domain of the wealthy, to a large extent. This ‘your ancestors were immigrants’ line could be trotted out almost anywhere, yet serious countries don’t care, because they look out for their own now, as opposed to prioritizing lofty and impractical ideals.

  218. Just look at the shirt on the girl in the thumb, ‘Black. No sugar. No cream’ I wonder global, would you support protests by white nationalists wearing shirts with, say, ‘It’s okay to be white?’ We know you wouldn’t, even despite the latter stating something we all know to be true (since it’s okay to be any colour), and the prior boldly declaring pride in their ethic ‘purity’. Funny that.

  224. It started before the Liberals. They just cranked it up a notch or two. It began as a Trojan Horse known as the “Temporary” Foreign Worker Program.

Even if it is true, how much is a result of politicians and the media misrepresenting the current state of firearms ownership and regulation in this country? I just had to explain to a friend the other day that machine guns are already prohibited, that’s these rifles are limited to 5 round mags, and that AR doesn’t stand for assault rifle. Sure your ban has some support; makes sense considering you lied to the entire country and betrayed their trust... Snakes.

  229.  @PurgatoryVLM  No. It thrives on innovation and competition. As the OP just outlined, we have been struggling due to its focus on demand side ‘growth’ (and just growth in general), which has been achieved largely by importing anything with a pulse into regional labour markets whilst letting the taxpayer subsidize the associated negative externalities. Look into free market theory. Cost internalization is a key assumption. This isn’t a failure of capitalism. It is a failure of the ppl within it. There is good reason ppl say Canada isn’t a serious country. As a ppl, we had to be seriously asleep at the wheel to let things get this bad. A nation stupid enough to buy the ‘unchecked immigration will save your future’ line is a nation that couldn’t be bothered to take a step back and think about what was being proposed, and it really only takes the simple high school supply and demand model to show it. But what can one expect from a ‘nation’ that hardly blinks when its own PM calls it a post-national entity?

  331.  @TheAircool1  Why would anybody fight for any job? Probably because we all need to make a living, and some of us have more/better options than others. You see, when a job is as awful as you make it sound the pay is supposed to be sufficient to compensate, hence why it is called compensation. Businesses have little need to become competitive if they can get consumers to subsidize the externalities associated with market manipulation. Ppl worry that the price of food will rise, but here is something they don’t teach you in high school economics. The costs associated w taking on another person will be, more or less, linear. The benefits associated with taking on another person will exhibit diminishing marginal returns. This means you can only chuck labour at a market for so long before the costs outweigh the benefits, assuming they didn’t always.

  333. By ‘marching past their home’, do you mean opening their gate and entering their private property from the already private community sidewalk they were marching on?

  342. Okay. What do they look like?

  343.  @maryamdreams  If I’m born here, I’m not a settler. My ancestors conquered the indigenous ppls and then named the territory Canada later. It wasn’t Canada until it was called such by the new owners. If that bothers you, conquer the new owners. That is how this works.

  346. They aren’t babies to them. Unless they want it though, then we are all supposed to change our tune cuz she’s eating for two... Even if somebody supports abortion, shedding tears of joy and acting like you were just rescued from certain death is just weird... These people are unhinged, and they control the institutions we trust w raising our kids. The same ppl who hate abortion will send their kids to schools to be taught to love abortion lol. We asked for this.

  347. Helena Pawl Canadians are too divided and squeamish for that to pick up steam and be effective. The movement also would not enjoy the swooning of the media such as that which the US ‘protesters’ enjoy. Hence movements like WEXIT. Some have realized that, given the geopolitical divide and the distribution of the population, certain things just can’t be accomplished within confederation anymore. We are no longer a cohesive nation, and resemble instead a couple destined for divorce yet bound by denial and fear of the unknown.

  348. Sydney Holmes I haven’t stated anything that would need to be cited. How many ppl do u know who went to the hospital w the flu? We don’t really track those numbers the way we do Covid. That isn’t the product of a study. It’s the product of not being born yesterday. Ppl typically get the flu, recover, and return to their lives. With Covid, tracking has been made an imperative, and thus data accumulates.

Found out the tenant was elderly and sick afterward, and he had 2 ancient cats too. Not only did I let him stay, and hated my living situation for the last two years, but I let the cats stay too despite hating cats after a lifetime if witnessing their destructive power. I did what I was willing to do for him, and I still am. He has become a friend. In the end, however, it is my property, and I get to decide what animals, if any, are allowed on the property, and that is ‘right’.

Many people risk life in limb, covid or no covid, invisibly and without fanfare in fields like construction, manufacturing, transport, natural resources etc. Where is the hero worship for those masses for whom danger is just a daily part of the job? They aren't special. If they don't like it then they can quit and leave behind the big salary, early retirement, pension, and all of the benefits. Half of them are diversity hires nowadays anyway, and there's a lineup of qualified applicants who would be happy to assume the role.

  387.  @bigpacthatseazye3462  Because it is both stupid and disrespectful to go into another country and walk around proclaiming your support for their enemies (and groups like Hamas are no friend to Canada or it’s allies). This goes for basically every country in the world, as does the expectation of general assimilation. It really isn’t rocket science.

  390. Mavis Twice “What does a derailment have to do w oil transport” Because rail is currently and regularly used to transport oil, and nobody seems too concerned about the ‘environmental risks’ associated with it for some reason. Even despite a town being blown up by a train not too long ago.
    6
  391. Typically, nobody forced a baby onto them. You don’t get to make life and then off it just because you were irresponsible, or changed your mind. Donating blood is an apple’s to oranges comparison. The dying child isn’t mine. I’m not responsible for it, and nobody is trying to put it down out of convenience. It is presumably suffering due to an accident or natural circumstances. This isn’t the equivalent of killing someone that your actions brought into being. Also, we charge ppl all the time for gross neglect for the well being of their child or children, and children are regularly taken from parents who don’t provide the necessities for life and health.

  414.  @JuanDPeron-mz8eg  And it’s ‘got everything to do’. You can’t have it both ways. If abortion is legal then you have de-facto ruled that the aborted didn’t constitute human life. You can’t, while remaining logically consistent, then turn around and accuse somebody of murder or manslaughter or anything meaningful should their actions result in the termination of a pregnancy (within the legal window of time for an abortion). What claim can women still legitimately make to any support from the father when the father played no part in the creation of a child. Remember, he only created a ‘lump of cells’, and it is the mother who makes the ‘choice’ to turn that ‘lump of cells’ into a human being. Her body her choice. Her choice her responsibility. 100% of the power comes with 100% of the responsibility. You/they can’t have it both ways.

Ppl tend to ignore hypocrites, and most of the public faces of climate alarmism are shameless hypocrites. When the climate camp starts to take itself seriously, you might see peasants start taking it seriously. Until then, don’t be surprised that ppl don’t care what a bunch of bureaucrats, politicians, and actors have to say from the conference they all flew to in private jets w their staff and motorcades.

How are we supposed to connect with nature when our access to it is so highly regulated anyway? No fires here. No camping there. Keep your dog on leash. Don’t go off of the designated trail. I highly doubt that more government will encourage more Canadians to ‘connect’ w nature. I also find it funny that we are supposed to only trust ‘science’ on matters of environment and climate right up until Maine cheap progressive points can be scored by consulting the mysticism of native hunter gatherers...

  462.  @miked.7245  There’s no going back to that state tho. It would take eons. We have lost all of the skills needed to survive on the move. Human societies can only function organically at around 120 participants before formal hierarchies/structures need to be imposed. We’ve long since passed the point where we could break off and return to anything like that, geographically, practically, and socially. Couple that w generations of state sponsored pro-state ‘education’, hyper work/skill specialization, and a lack of political will internationally, and it’s just impossible. If gov is evil, then it’s an evil we are stuck with (until some sort of unprecedented human calamity, perhaps). Even then, there will always be a hierarchy. Our ancestral ways weren’t as utopian as you make them sound, but sometimes they certainly seem an appealing alternative to our self-domestication post agricultural revolution.

Nominal demand side Growth benefits a small minority while harming the majority of wage earning workers. Fixing their ‘labour shortages’ by importing competition for the plebs is a perfect example. Ppl can’t find a place to rent, let alone buy, but we’ll be sure to import more ppl so that Timmy Hos can stay open 24/7, and that Dairy Queen that nobody asked for can be built and staffed.

  479. You should get your ppl out of here then. For their own good, of course. Its dangerous to live in a place w/o human waste streaming through the gutter.

  483. So, a (seemingly) hardline feminist type (the Facebook page is called Hyenas and skirts...) was in a bathroom with the guy at an after hours Hells Angels bar when this (allegedly) took place over 20 years ago (1999). Sounds credible...
    5
  484. There are no vacancies in my town or in the surrounding town. They are still gonna import workers so the local fast food joints can run 24/7. Make sense to you?
    5
  485. Imagine the sort of joke of a country that makes a finance minister out of a woman who can’t manage her own finances well enough to afford Disney+ on $186K a year…
    5
  486. Rocky johnson Really? These ppl didn’t quit their jobs. They were lost because society panicked and shut them down. It wasn’t a choice, and now the economy has contracted as a result, meaning many won’t have jobs to go back to, all because the ‘experts’ and our ‘leaders’ were more concerned with cuddling China than they were with actually protecting Canadians.

  489. Then that ‘core country’ shouldn’t have spent the last few years panhandling around the world.
    5
  490.  @xmusicmanx1  It isn’t abuse if a property owner protects their property. If they don’t want animals on their property that is up to them. It would be abusive to force that on the owner though.

  491. Rashone He was an ‘Austere Scholar’ lol.
    5
  492.  @bxlis  How didn’t they? The whole point in the olympics is to set all of these things aside for a few days to come together for some sports. And this doesn’t punish Russia. It just punishes some young athletes. Big win…

  493.  @theylied1776  One person going on a rampage doesn’t back up anything. What are you on? If we used that logic everywhere there would literally be no demographic safe from your prejudice. Lol. What a joke.

I never said they shouldn’t get what they paid for; only that the new owner should get what they paid for, which is a house for them to do with as they please.

  535.  @CONNIN-lj8rf  Where is anybody taking hooves and bladders and wasting the rest of the animal? That would mean farmers/ranchers are just throwing money away.

  549.  @chrispybacon2373  “We stole their lands and our karma is finally coming to get us” I didn’t steal anybody’s lands. I was born here. Speak for yourself.
    4
  550. Then they need to find a property that allows pets. Its messed up that ppl here think pets should be forced onto property owners. If anything it is irresponsible to have pets if you don’t own. I wanted a dog for the longest time, but I held off because it was short sighted to have a pet as a renter.

  551.  @poojas1  Democracies also aren’t about taking a break from governing so that a political party can sort their s out.

  553. Libra z Truthy stuff, but I wouldn’t want to pay for one of these tours if I was strapped down to the seat. These guys were incident free for 4 decades. Not every accident requires a reaction.
    4
  554. It’s almost like he’s a politician.
    4
  555. But, this is Global. CBC does mod hard on all of their stuff, even if your remark conforms with terms of service. Defund the CBC. Who even wants state sponsors tv fictions and streaming services anyway, especially when they still run ads on their content.
    4
  556.  @junkfoodguy  I think you need to learn English
    4
  557. Yea, sure, pave over the places where so many of us go to get away. Pave over our hunting and camping spots. Sounds like progress to me.

  560.  @osmosis321  Naa being decent isn’t so bad.
    4
  561. They all lie. For some reason I’m supposed to care more about it when Trump does it? Everybody needs to take a step back and remind themselves that at one point all of these ppl thought to themselves “Yea. I’m the person who should make decisions for millions (tens of, hundreds of) of ppl”. No reason to trust any of them.
    4
  562. You’re wrong. One party was white and the other was not, therefore R-word. It’s just science.
    4
  563. Why remain a Canadian province then? Honestly, do away w those privileged Anglos then and go your own way, right?
    4
  564. @Scott Scotty I do too, but not out if anger. It just makes sense. We don’t have a national identity. Trudeau even called us a post national state. The nation state w/o a nation is just the state. It’s terrifying. I just find it hilarious that all of the AB haters also hate the notion of separation.
    4
  565. Sydney Holmes They weren’t citing the number of cases. They were referring to its severity. Whether their comparison is accurate or not idk. We also don’t obsessively track regular flu numbers. How often have ppl gone to be counted when they contracted flus in the past? Most just rode it out at home. We most certainly weren’t counting the asymptomatic like we are w Covid. Comparing simple case numbers seems meaningless.
    4
  566. Hunters in AB are frustrated cuz the booming bear and wolf numbers have meant dwindling elk numbers. A place near me used to be primo elk country. I go there frequently. Lots of grizzly sign. No elk tho.
    4
  567.  @BaneRain  It is absolute a handout, and I am far from rich. As a not rich person, I deem myself unfit to have kids. Can’t afford it? Don’t do it. It is that simple. Other ppl already pay to educate your kids. The least you can do is raise them till they are 6 flippin years old. If you can’t do that, then why even have them in the first place?
    4
  568.  @montrose699  It isn’t my responsibility to pay for the raising of other ppl’s kids. Raise and care for your own children.
    4
  569.  @montrose699  If costs are such that the avg family can’t afford it, then yes, unfortunately. Instead of robbing others to subsidize the lifestyles of others, we should instead be focusing on creating a society/economy that allows the avg couple to afford a family
    4
  570.  @montrose699  Good for you, hero. Leave everybody else alone.

  574. Nobody is bothering the bears…

  575.  @missf4681  Part of being a refugee is seeking refuge from an untenable situation in a horrible place. If you can go back for holidays, then you aren’t a refugee, and you should stay there.

  576. Why should the gov help you pay for the house you bought?
    4
  577.  @marmah740  Shame on me for what?
    4
  578. What do you suggest? Upend thousands of retirement plans because the government doesn’t understand supply and demand?
    4
  579. I too was initially forgiving and understanding, but it’s been nothing but lies and miscalculations the entire time.
    4
  580. Let’s all worry about the ppl who still have jobs.
    4
  581.  @davidrockefeller2007  It isn’t ‘solving’ anything unless the cost of housing is too low for you and wages haven’t stagnated enough for you.

  582. Ramiere 94% has existing conditions with an average of 2.6 comorbidities per.
    4
  583. Ramiere I cited the CDC lol. Hardly a conspiracy theory. Look up the definition of conspiracy theory. I’ve suggested nothing of the sort.

  586. As opposed to all of the ppl crying about offensive bird names. They’re all hardcore bird watchers, right?
    4
  587. They should also have to donate most of their salary. If you get to decide to blow up the livelihoods of so many, then u better be willing to give up your own. Won’t ever happen so long as we expect so little from our ‘leaders’ though.

  588.  @davidparker7216  It takes time to convince a population that responsibility and accountability are bad things.
    4
  589. Nanithice Most ppl in the West are soft. It’s one of those pesky consequences of peace and prosperity like the sort those opposed to the riots are trying to preserve.
    4
  590. Everybody is reminded daily of these things. It is constant. We get it. Everybody knows. What do you expect is to be done about it now?
    4
  591. Keep insulting the intelligence of your viewers with drivel like this... People love being treated like grade schoolers.

  594.  @lasttry99  Two completely different things, but keep pretending you’d have been above it all had you been raised in Nazi country during Nazi times to be a Nazi.
    4
  595.  @CyberSamurai4Life  Are you static? Do you not change over time? Have you not learned from mistakes? Have you no regrets? You know Nazis are ppl too, so they can change the same way anybody else changes. Why did you need that explained?

  596. Just to be clear, you can only penetrate w bullets, knives, and shrapnel in war. Anything else would be highly inappropriate…

  597.  @mikearchibald744  Corporations make lots of money. Not really a hot take, nor is it the reason Canadians can’t get onto the housing ladder.
    4
  598.  @mikearchibald744  And if you don’r think mills and O&G pay enough for access to resource rights, then you should be calling for changes to royalty regimes and not changes to corporate taxes. Royalties are how they compensate us for access to OUR resources.
    4
  599. The gov was never paying. We were, and the gov was failing to deliver.
    4
  600. If you’re for or against unions, then you don’t understand what they are. They can be good. They can be bad. They represent their members, and those members are self interested.
    4
  601.  @k1e1v1i1n  I knew some kids in high school who were simply determined to be criminals. One of them ended up headless and burned in a dumpster. Don’t have to be an adult to be a wannabe gangster.

  607. Hi. I’m that lady who is famous for marrying into a family who is famous/important by virtue of their having descended from several generations of people who descended from somebody that we assume actually accomplished something warranting fame/power. Crowd cheers and media swoons.

  610. This is why I just don’t care about politicians anymore. They just do w/e we let them get away w. At this point all the blame rests w Canadians. This is not a serious country. We deserve what we get.
    4
  611. Its almost like your enemies will spy on and subvert you if you make it really really easy to do so.
    4
  612.  @CorryGal  Well, those cowards should go back and fight if it is so important to them, instead of playing at nationalist from the other side of the world and meddling in another country’s politics.
    4
  613.  @ra.v.l4038  They should go back to Ukraine and fight if they care so much, no? Otherwise, they should prioritize the country that took them in and spared them from the war. If they are ‘Ukranian’, they should go fight for Ukraine, instead of demanding that the rest of the world do it for them.
    4
  614. Pledge your own resources to the cause.

  615.  @Freda34  "People are just getting stupider" Yet more and more 'educated'. Hmmmmm. Are you wrong or is our bloated education system staffed with teaching professionals raking in 6 figures a garbage system?
    4
  616.  @-LightningRod-  This is false…
    4
  617.  @GG-vq6ro  Must have been really tough getting all that overtime and making big $ during Covid. I guess those of us who lost our livelihoods were the lucky ones in their eyes. We owe them a raise!

  619.  @KamalYadav-hh2mo  Why so racis?

  620. I asked for paper bags at Sobeys a couple weeks ago. She said they didn’t have any. There was a stack in front of her on her till. I pointed to them. She said they were instructed not to use them…
    4
  621.  @shari9721  I let my dog off its leash all the time. S happens. When my dog has run ins w others it is because somebody else’s off leash dog just comes running up and sticks its snout in my dog’s face and butt. It is risky for all parties involved. Who is at fault if my dog lashes out; the dog that wasn’t ‘trained’ well enough to mind its own space, or the dog that wasn’t ‘trained’ well enough to tolerate a strange dog rushing at it and invading its space? You are making big assumptions about her level of care for her dog and the circumstances of the encounter. Ppl who let their dogs off leash around other dogs sometimes just have to accept that it comes with risks.
    4
  622. It’s a fund for uninsured liabilities. It isn’t a ‘rape fund’, and it isn’t unique to Hockey Canada, so it shouldn’t go anywhere. Instead, the ‘victims’ should just take the situation seriously and go through the courts instead of settling for $, no?
    4
  623. Not gonna mention the part about Revera being owned by our Federal gov? That’s right, Revera is a wholly owned subsidiary of our a public Sector Pension Investment Board, a Crown Corp. The irony though...
    4
  624. And, of course, they got their kids wrapped up in the whole situation so now we need to concern ourselves and people will make excuses for them.
    4
  625. Wow, JT even tries to virtual signal about his crony capitalism.

  628. You hope America is attacked? You think vengeance here just means Trump?
    4
  629. Carissa LeClair Yes yes, only right wingers watch global news lol
    4
  630. Not really. What are you supposed to do? We trust our government(s) and charities to allocate resources to prevent this sort of thing, yet, for some reason, it never seems to make a difference. This is on governments and NGOs. The governments are typically either using necessities against their ppl or leveraging the suffering of their ppl against conflicting interests, and the NGOs are too busy lining their own pockets and pushing their own agendas rather than helping. As an individual your just somebody getting by like everybody else.

  631. If it were simply about space we wouldn’t be in the middle of a housing crisis. Ppl needs homes near jobs, and not an empty patch of land in the middle of nowhere.

  632. @Jeff Johnson Why not just explain it instead of being a dick?
    4
  633. James Butler Okay James. Thanks for the uplifting speech. I’m sure your platitudes will feed families and prevent foreclosures. Big change is coming. You’re right. People might have to go through some national border checkpoints on the trans Canada soon.

    4
  641.  @billyb3650  The girl in the car was a civilian. Most of the soldiers are just kids suckered into it. Celebrating the deaths is sick either way, especially so for a civilian. Justify it however you like. You aren’t the ‘good’ guy if you get all giddy over a death like this.
    4
  642. Idk. It is a mystery for sure. Something changed, but what could it be? A real head scratcher, indeed.
    4
  643. All I see is a whole lot of cultural appropriation.
    4
  644. ll8937 If lack of education isn’t, then what is? You also used ‘misspelled’ which is the improper tense. I suppose lack of education is no excuse for that either?
    4
  645. Almost like we’re supposed to have a parent at home with the kids, or something.
    4
  646. Yes. They changed the constitution, thus much proposed legislation regarding firearms is/would be unconstitutional. You’d have to amend the amendment for your facepalming to make sense.

  647.  @CantHandleThisCanYa  How ppl struggle to understand why somebody might indulge today instead of living like a monk in order to buy a home in 25 years at age 45-50 is just beyond me.

  653.  @jaipaulsethi6880  They love the word ‘sustainability’ tho. Its their favourite. They seem to think sustainability means fleecing citizens so that you can reward your buddies w lucrative contracts and cheap labour.

Canada is no exception.

  727.  @Rl-yj2ny  Does the charter protect speech which expresses overt support for the nation’s enemies? Hamas is listed as a terrorist threat by the Canadian government, and their recent actions are more than testament to the reality of the classification. I’m not supporting the deportation of ppl who oppose Israeli actions, as you suggested. I support the deportation of non citizens who would openly declare support for an officially listed enemy terrorist organization and their recent massacring of thousands of civilians. To the extent that an act could be considered criminally treasonous, and the individual is a naturalized citizen, then I see no problem w revoking citizenship and deporting them to their country of origin or alternative citizenship. If you can be put in jail for something, then it isn’t unreasonable to revoke a privilege and send them back where they came from. They swear an oath, yes?

They mention the ‘unpaid labor’ of women at home in the speech, so who is supposed to pay them? If you have kids, they’re your problem. If the thought of being there to take care of and teach them is so awful, then perhaps pumping out those tiresome and expensive bundles of joy wasn’t a good idea. Women aren’t being oppressed when they stay home to take care of THEIR kids. Whichever parent stays home is between the parents. They aren’t being victimized by the decision to have a family, and if they feel they are, well, your body your choice, your choice your responsibility.

  745. This is why the Libs’ promise of radical transparency was so appealing to me when they first ran w Trudeau. I might have voted for them if not for Trudeau. He alone discredited the entire platform, imo, and it was no surprise that one of his first acts was to scrap the Con bill looking to create transparency around First Nations spending on behalf of those it is supposed to be spent on. If they want to spend tens of millions on an app, it should be one that lets me see precisely where the money is spent, and in a highly user friendly format.

If people spent $10s of thousands on hunting gear or target shooting gear that they can now no longer legally leave their home with, I’d say that’s a man investment destroyed wouldn’t you? Grandfathering in just means you have a fancy paper weight, assuming you need to weigh down papers in a locked safe. “None of them are needed in Canada” Let me know when I can drop by your place to take all and everything that I feel you don’t need. I mean, that’s your criteria right? “I can say with some certainty ... purpose in Canada” Yea, other than the purpose you just stated that you yourself use firearms for. That being competitive shooting. The only thing you are saying with certainty is that YOU have no purpose for them. That’s quite different from what many Canadians who also shoot competitively will tell you, so stop intentionally misrepresenting the community. “I won’t be out any investment since nobody will be seizing them” So if somebody buys a car, and then cars are banned the next day, was it still a good purchase?

We can’t just put up a bunch of houses in the middle of nowhere, inevitably for those on lower incomes, and then expect them to waste half their income on fuel, commuting 2-4 hours each day. Maybe we can solve a tiny fraction of the problem w far-flung boutique communities for the well-to-do remote ‘workers’ w StarLink and such, but we wouldn’t even feel the difference.

  813. Are the homes overvalued? Ppl need a place to live. Demand is outpacing supply. I bought a place a year and a half ago at 3% before the rate hikes. Just recently the exact same floorplan in the same complex sold for almost 25% more than mine did, and this was after all the hikes when excellent credit and a solid debt to earnings ratio still only gets you 6.5%. This doesn’t look like a speculation driven bubble. This just looks like what anybody would expect would, and should, happen when you throw demand at a necessary good when the supply side can’t respond.

  814.  @_.YouTubeBad_.  You just described every political party that isn’t in power, and especially opposition parties. You also just described somebody feigning populist, whilst not being populist. It is no different than lefties pretending to be super socialist despite living and embracing a privileged existence, and doing everything they can to rise within a hierarchy that, supposedly, shouldn’t even exist. This is hardly a critique of the notion of focusing on the commoner, or the bulk of society, over the influential and monied outliers. And everybody thinks the party they don’t like is just enriching themselves by playing on emotions like fear. They all do what you describe. You just can’t see beyond your own ideological blinders.

As for other aspects - Cultural/political diversity is very hard on democratic institutions. Hence why politics is so rivalrous today. Too many ppl w wildly different outlooks and ideas trying to vote their ideals into being. - Language/communication barriers make everything harder. My workplace is literally less safe because half of my coworkers can hardly speak w the natives. Many more mistakes happen as a result of language barriers - A weak nation due to the absence of a shared common identity creates a low trust dog eat dog society Ppl are tribal animals. Get over it.

  878.  @MetaView7  I’m reading a CBC news article on it right now w most testimonials coming from Chinese Canadians themselves. They are discussing it in the house. There is a cross spectrum media consensus that, in the very least, the CCP is coercing and politically leveraging Chinese nationals abroad by means such as their family back home. The group that first reported the issue pointed to the specific buildings being operated out of. In Ireland they literally put up a sign for their police station lol. That comes right from a CBC article, picture and all. It is in line w the sort of behaviours the world has come to expect from the CCP. There is zero incentive for the feds, and especially the police, to publicize any action taken, both in terms of PR and foreign relations. Convince me this isn’t all highly plausible.

  879.  @Dam-a-fence  Supply and demand is a pretty tried and tested old piece of theory, and it tends to hold up… Housing simply cannot respond to the increase in demand. We can’t even build homes right now at a price that most would call ‘affordable’, and some massive gov initiative will only make build costs increase. High rates also mean supply can’t respond. There is no supply side solution here…

  880.  @hdthor  Foreign students aren’t some giant boon for the economy. They certainly don’t make accessing education easier for prospective Canadian students, and they aren’t making housing any cheaper for anybody. As for the Visas, perhaps its time industry was incentivized to compete and train, instead of simply importing human capital when it suits them. Typically, if somebody says something will ‘benefit the economy’, they are referring to some demand side nominal growth for which the average person eats the costs, but receives none of the benefits.

  886.  @miked.7245  Sure, you could, in theory, ‘dismantle it’, but this is why I included ‘practically’ in statement. On paper, it could be done, but you simply won’t find the social will/desire to turn back the clocks and to, among other things, reduce the population to workable levels while getting the whole population trained/educated for that lifestyle. Apply some game theory, and you’ll likely see that, without universal buy in (and there wouldn’t be), existing nation states (and their governments) would exploit this and move in on territories that did buy in. Could it happen. Sure. It’s ‘possible’. But it won’t, and basically can’t.

  981.  @kbst8411  Lol if you’re going to destroy livelihoods and arrest ppl for visiting mom and dad on Christmas, then it’s probably serious enough to stop travel in and out of the country, no?

I’ll remark on it. I was doing dishes the other day and heard him saying he supports vaccines in general. He wasn’t answering the actual question (can’t recall what it was, but it was more specific), but he repeated over and over how he backs vaccines. Idk what he has said about the scientific method. What was it, specifically?

  985. sean w Quality production. Local jobs. Self sufficiency. Retained human capital. Delayed/softened capital deepening. Less dirty $ being washed in our real estate markets and greater access to housing markets for Canadians (thx for the fentanyl and the bloated housing market China!). The benefit of not being a nation of hypocritical consumer whores who talk a big game about ‘values’ and ‘compassion’ while bending over for a regime that stands in opposition to everything we (supposedly) stand for. To name a few... In the end it’s really about principle. We are a nation of hypocrites; content with playing patron to (what most Canadians would call) racial and social and environmental and civil injustice on an industrial scale, just so long as we don’t have to see or experience it. And it’s all in the name of consumerism.

  986. Darlene Sjostrom Wow Darlene, with the way you talk about the US you would think it was them, and not China, who flooded the continent with fentanyl, used its housing markets to wash the illicit proceeds for their political/criminal elite (jacking up housing costs in the process), and then lied the world into the Pandemic. The US and Canada get along just fine, which is surprising given our smug and holier than thou disposition toward them. Salivating over our wealth? What wealth? We have a 10th of the population of the US and still the vast majority of Canadians are two weeks away from insolvency. Sure the US competes with us economically. They look out for their own, and so does China. Canada could learn a thing or two from both of them.

When the ground hardens, Russia will roll out the bigger guns w/o (as much) fear of getting bogged down by the terrain. It isn’t about the cold dragging one side down relative to the other, but the cold elevating one side relative to the other due to the disparity in assets. That is, at least, how I understand the argument. Whether or not it unfolds this way is left to be seen.

  1004. Evan Levy We don’t need universities for the bulk of the ‘education’ they provide anymore. In many ways they are outdated and archaic institutions that need to get with the times, not unlike public schools. The revelations surrounding remote work and learning as a result of Covid have proven much of the ‘education’ lobby wrong about how ppl learn. Whatever future meaningful research funding is lost to the exit of Chinese students could be recouped with an approach to educational investment that actually represents an investment (ie strategically investing in the right minds and fields with a focus on ‘return’ in the form of high productivity human capital and innovation).

Trump jumped on the movement and branded it, and his validation of those previously not spoken (outside if the internet) for is why he got in and why he has such a rabid following. Like him or not, it's just disingenuous to pretend this is about Trump and not about using him and recent events as an excuse to shut the lid on inconvenient ideas and opinions that were never anticipated to gain such traction.

  1102.  @dragonbotsw  Yea, sure, everybody ‘should’ get such things. Lots of jobs are awful and destructive. What makes public sector workers so much more deserving that those w far less already should sacrifice even more to them in the pursuit of their ideal work life? Last I checked, they are there for our health, and not the other way around. What ppl are paid isn’t based on what they ‘deserve’, in the conventional sense. You tell me we need to pay them more because we can’t compete w other provinces (or countries) and we are losing too many staff, then I’ll entertain the idea, but don’t try to convince me that they should be protected from market forces by a private sector workforce that has to fight for every scrap and which, on average, makes far less.

  1127. Jeff L Lol I wasn’t talking about ‘the business’. No society that hates a specific demographic in general would see said hated demographic dominating a field that sees people making this much $ to run about and throw a ball around. They make up 16 percent of the population, but are responsible for over 50 percent of the country’s homicides. If they are ‘afraid’ they need to look within, because the rest of the country made one of theirs one of the most beloved president’s in history, and they are way disproportionately represented in music and entertainment given their share of the population. This is hysterical polarizing nonsense coming from some of the most privileged people currently in existence. It has nothing to do with love? Sure (obviously I wasn’t referring to love in the conventional sense. Nobody loves strangers. Anybody can say society doesn’t love them, because society doesn’t love anybody), but “face reality” cuz it has nothing to do with Rae ziz m either.

  1129. pabloplato Guns are a hobby for many, regardless of the action. I have several friends who enjoyed competitive shooting tournaments with semi autos in Canada (pre Trudeau gun ban). Friends getting out for friendly sport w each other sounds pretty hobbyish to me. Just cuz you’re scared doesn’t mean everybody else is or that they should be.

  1132. When things get bad your own come first. We have hardly tasted what other countries have of the Covid situation. If we were in the sort of spot the US is in you can be sure most Canadians would expect our leaders to withhold the supplies we need, and you can be sure that if that happens Trudeau won’t hear the end of his decision to ship tonnes of masks to China.

  1134.  @RosanneHowdy  First Nations aren’t ‘more Canadian’ than others. If anything, you’re less Canadian, because Canada was established by the Europeans you lost to.

  1137. @yourmanwatson Yes, listen instead to Global News about the many ‘swirling crises’ as they swirl menacingly around Trump; swirling and swirling as the walls continue to close in. They tell the real news.

  1146.  @steve8803  That is what I did, but even in a rural low cost area of the low cost AB you’re lucky to find a place to rent, and there isn’t much work. This isn’t a matter of young ppl being lazy. We haven’t left them much to work with.

  1148.  @josephsmith594  “Not “our” standards and identity. “Your” standards and identity“ First, idk why you put “your” in quotations when that was your wording, and not theirs. Also, every country has its own standards and identities. We sit on different sides of cars, an travel along different sides of the road. Different places have different languages, and varying numbers of spoken languages. Religions differ. Religion’s place in government differs. Your allowances and privileges differ. Look, idk what world you live in or on, but civilization is built on order, and without standards and convention there is chaos. I’m not even attributing morality to any of this. That which is conducive to order is not always good or right, but It is simply universally true that no matter what society you enter into there will be behavioural and civic expectations. Nobody will agree w all of it but, generally, and in a healthy society, a degree of consensus will exist that allows institutions to operate. How well do you suppose a democracy or republic would function if there were no generally agreed upon (and expected) norms and customs?

  1149.  @Rl-yj2ny  Last time they held an election the Gazans elected Hamas. Yea, it was 2006, and that matters, but they won w a majority of seats in the legislature. Obviously there is popular support in Gaza. Gazans elected them. Gazans support them. Gazans comply w them. If you saw a rally full of ppl of Slavic appeal, and they were waving Russian flags around chanting things like ‘Glory to Russia’, would you… A. Assume they support the Russian war effort and those administering it, or… B. Assume they were just there supporting the Russian ‘ppl’ during the hardships of war, but totally not supporting the war effort? Does the shaven headed man of Slavic appeal w a social media presence chalked full of Russian flags, pictures from attendance at pro Russia rallies, and Russian war slogans, pass your litmus test for immigration? They are out there waving foreign flags that represent a ppl that, most recently, elected a federally labelled foreign terrorist organization into government w a majority of seats in the legislature. ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization’ is another way of saying ‘Small Foreign Enemy Military Entity’. That elected foreign military entity just attacked an ally, killed about 1.5K of their ppl, and took 200 (ish?) of them hostage. They are the enemy. Gaza elected them. That, unfortunately, makes Gaza the enemy. Non citizens who wave the flag of the enemy, promptly after said enemy carries out a historical massacre against an ally, whilst shouting nationalistic slogans like ‘from the river to the sea’ (look at a map of the region, and then tell me what you think that means…) don’t pass my litmus test for residence, let alone citizenship. Do you think the proff’s remarks would be under such scrutiny were she to have endorsed the deportation of the aforementioned belligerent Russian nationalist? Do you think there would be any confusion regarding what his words and symbols meant and represented?

  1165.  @jonm3131  Which scum? Ppl who bought homes? I’m sure they’d be willing to sell it for the right price. They aren’t depriving ppl if anything. Supply and demand are, I suppose, and you have government to thank for that on both sides of the equation.

  1180. Darlene Sjostrom Learn game theory. Look up tragedy of the commons. As an international community we are a patchwork of conflicting belief system, values, and histories, and there is no sign of this ending anytime soon. Moreover, attempts to homogenize the world have been abysmal failures. It appears we are destined to compete at both the individual and state levels. So long as we are competing within a finite world, we aren’t fully trusting each other. If we can’t fully trust each other, then we assume the worst. If we assume the worst in each other, we make nukes.

    2
  1193.  @bigpacthatseazye3462  I asked Chatgpt “when was it legal for kids to cross the border?”. The answer is as vague as the question but, in short, most countries require that kids at least have a passport, and a letter of consent if travelling without their parents. There. Your question has been answered.

  1210.  @TheInsaneupsdriver  Notley said diversify a lot. There wasn’t a plan, even in their ‘climate action plan’. Saying diversify and green a lot wasn’t doing anything either, so spare us. This isn’t a matter of air dropping in some business factories from business land.

  1222.  @mathias8627  The OP whom you said is so smart said it. And it is less about ‘capitalism’, and more about power. Communist nations love growth as well, do they not? They are always so determined to show off their growth, because to power, growth means more power, and essentially the same incentives exist for the powerful under either system. Also, the nominal demand side ‘growth’ being foisted upon us currently is largely being administered by left leaning central planner wannabe governments. Nowhere in free market theory does it recommend chucking labour at everything in order to grow. Diminishing returns is one of the most important concepts in conventional economic/free market theory.

  1230.  @abcdedfg8340  I agree, but who is to say their work conditions and compensation aren’t already fair? Full time gov employees tend to get both better compensation and more time off than their private sector counterparts, and those private sector counterparts will, in part, be covering the costs of the result of these ‘fair’ negotiations. I went to technical school not long ago, in my class were 5 CP employees who were not only having their education covered by CP/the taxpayer, but they were being paid while they were in school. Who else has an employer that will send them through a 2 year college diploma whilst compensating them at the same time? Such opportunities are simply fantasy for the ppl paying their wages. All but one of them dropped out by second year, btw; and ppl wonder why CP isn’t making money.

  1260.  @BoworBustOutdoors  Kinda depends on the circumstances, no? Camera on a trail? Fine. Camera on a camp site? Completely different. Just this recent season I was at a set of falls that I like to visit in the mountains. I noticed something buried in the rocks, and dug out a camera housing. Somebody at some point had a cam pointed at the base of the falls. Watching wildlife or filming ppl who go there to take a dip? Hard to say. Safe to say you’re going to be filming highly exposed ppl without their knowledge, tho. In the end, you’re hiding a camera and filming ppl who have no idea they are being filmed, and who go out to these places to get away from this stuff. I’d be willing to bet that classifies as obnoxious to a whole lot of ppl.
    2
  1261.  @BoworBustOutdoors  Were they being creeps or trying to capture shots of the animals coming to drink? Because you have to hide the cameras out there, it doesn’t matter what your intentions are. You are likely going to capture exposing footage of ppl who think they have some privacy, and they went there for that sense of privacy and seclusion, so to me it feels like a sort of trespass either way.
    2
  1262.  @fluffytail6355  Ppl leave home to get away from the humans in and around their home. The whole point in going out there for many is to minimize the human/modern element. Nobody is looking to guarantee privacy, but they’d like to think they can avoid ending up on somebody’s trail cam whilst taking a crap somewhere.

  1285.  @blt4life112  No. I don’t cry about it. I don’t cry or get emotional about this debate one way or the other. Fact is you don’t need god in the convo to see the inconsistencies and double standards inherent in the conversation, nor do you need religion to end up on either side of the fundamental disagreement over what constitutes human life. Everybody just likes to start from their own arbitrary definition, and then throw their hands up in frustration when the discussion goes nowhere.

  1286.  @JuanDPeron-mz8eg  Okay. No more child support then. Her body, her choice, her responsibility. Welcome to ‘empowerment’. It has a flip side.

  1287.  @shauncameron8390  It needs to happen. Labour is being increasingly marginalized by capital in the economy. Playing w population and demographics like this is just a game of economic hot potato; delaying a natural correction to keep portfolios strong in the hope that the music stops after certain stakeholders cash out.

  1296. First, it is not ‘literally’ being carried on top of first nations graves. Look up the definition of ‘literally’. Second, first nations have nothing to do with this. Third, ‘first come first served’ doesn’t, and essentially never has, mattered to the process of allocating land and drawing maps. Animals fight for territory, and the only thing keeping this from being vogue again is an international order bent on maintaining the status quo and stability because it serves them. The threat of that overwhelming violence from established power is the only thing keeping the ooga booga at bay. Remove that self interested deterrent, and ooga booga is back on the menu.

That is just price discrimination, and thats okay, but not if you have to destabilize a country to prop up your failing business model. Canadians can’t import schools when they can’t get in or afford if. They have to ‘compete’, yea? Time for the universities to get lean and compete as well.

And just how temporary has it been? Does ‘new normal’ sound temporary to you? What happened to two weeks? Are you also going to completely avoid the multitudes of people who’s livelihoods rely on people being able to gather? Some people want to party, sure, and others want to afford food and shelter for themselves and their families. Many just want the dignity of work back. It’s pretty easy to look down on everybody else when the ‘lockdowns’ don’t negatively impact your own pocketbook, and that’s every single politician and expert imposing these measures on the millions of ppl who actually have to carry the burden for everybody else. Laughably, we then turn and applaud our nurses like heroes for simply doing their jobs, as if they are the ones making the sacrifice... if we keep doing what we are doing we may very well see our health care system overrun anyway since we won’t be able to afford a health care system that can accommodate even post pandemic levels of demand.

  1357.  @bobwoods1302  Enlighten us, Robert. It was worth responding to for you, so educate us all on how taxing generally non elective consumption constitutes a reasonable incentive to abate. It works for a lot of smokers because they aren’t smoking to heat their homes and get to work.
    2
  1358.  @zepher664  Depends on the nature if the good being taxed. The vast majority of my energy use isn’t elective. It is to survive (heat my dwelling, earn a living). How much abatement do you expect to achieve when you are taxing something that is mostly consumed out of necessity?

  1370.  @gerrys6265  I don’t think that at all (divided society of rich and poor being ideal), however, I can’t help but notice that we are gravitating further and further toward this more and more, and more taxes aren’t preventing this. Do you believe taxation will solve this issue?

  1396. “What does it matter where I do my job as long as the work gets done?” These are fair points, but now you have to convince everybody that the job will get done, and the post covid era has, thus far, not reassured ppl in this regard. That isn’t to say that the tardiness of gov services is a result of remote work. There are prob lots of causes, and maybe remote work isn’t even one of them, but you’re gonna have a hard time convincing me that ppl are more productive alone at home in their slippers w the weed vape pen a few feet away…

  1410.  @aliasfakename2267  They were also setting fires and attempting to de-rail trains, so the two situations aren’t really analogous. If it were rail workers, chiefly those who staff the trains, blocking the rails then it would be pretty analogous, otherwise w/o that and the violence I wouldn’t even consider the situations all that comparable. The only thing I see as an issue w the convoy(s) is the blocking of infrastructure, and it’s amusing to watch those who were so okay w it in the past as they feign concern when a group/cause they don’t approve of mimics the tactic and does it better.

About 6 years ago I was listening to a program on CBC radio in ehich they cited a projection that whites would be a minority in Canada by some year I can’t recall. I think it was about 20 years ish from that time. What I do recall, however, is their giddy celebration of the notion of whites becoming a minority. Are they ethnonationalists for making the observation as well?

Perhaps India shouldn’t (allegedly) be murdering ppl in Canada, and Canada wouldn’t need to get involved. As for Canadians allowing Khalistanis to have a voice; yea, that is something we let ppl do here. We get to have and voice opinions (usually), and we don’t have a caste system.

  1449. It’s actually the other way around. TFWs who don’t plan to stay can have it pretty good. Where I’m from in Canada they are often paid a bit more than other workers, but they are also often tied to some pretty strict and limiting contracts. That said, imagine sending $Cdn back to your family in Mexico or the Philippines. I worked with a guy who saved up $20K and literally bought his family a starter home in cash. That won’t even clear most ppl’s student loans. Another was building a small food cart empire with his brother. He sent back the money to expand and his brother ran operations. How long would it take to save up to buy a house in full here working min wage? In the end, it’s insane that TFWs are considered essential during a recession.

  1453.  @beyondfossil  Have fun managing that grid.
    2
  1454. It really is embarrassing. Canadians seem to enjoy it too, which makes it that much more shameful.
    2
  1455. Sure. Make it a Partisan issue.
    2
  1456. Canada deserves to be criticized right now.
    2
  1457.  @user-ve3jk4uc3o  Unfortunately, ppl can change regardless of your feelings on the matter. Being a Nazi didn’t change the fact that they are human like anybody else. Are you one of those ppl who thinks you’d have been above it were you, you know, raised by Nazis to be a Nazi in country of Nazis?
    2
  1458.  @roachmojo  Yea, cuz their claim was that Trump was a Russian asset... and that Trump and the Russians had colluded to ‘interfere’ in the elections. Different claim, different resolution.
    2
  1459.  @wilkysuniverse  A third of the country voted for them, and another third voted for parties like them. Will ‘standing together’ change this split?

  1460. These points are only legitimate if you assume the fetus is not a living human. You’re skipping past the fundamental argument.

  1462. Good thing nothing about this is ‘far right’ then.
    2
  1463. YouTube commenters are responsible for the virus. Okay.
    2
  1464. Dale Stephanson It was somebody possessing an MD in Epidemiology who told you Youtube commenters we’re responsible for the virus?
    2
  1465. @Cryharder-k2d Trades programs have wait lists. Engineering is highly competitive, as are nursing programs, for example. Then there is the inability of most to finance 2-5 years of tuition and living costs while they ‘better themselves’.
    2
  1466. Public unions are some of the most powerful entities in the country. Just watch your provincial gov cower in fear when public health or teacher’s unions go on the warpath.

  1471.  @TT-fq7pl  You don’t need to go to college to become an artist.
    2
  1472.  @TT-fq7pl  Can new connections not develop? It just seems like another way ‘schools’ assume a sort of gate keeping role. Pay to play. Art should speak for itself, should it not?
    2
  1473.  @TT-fq7pl  I think the new system is right in front of us. The quicker we ditch the old and outdated, the quicker markets will pivot towards self teaching and portfolio driven opportunities. The tech is already in place.

  1475.  @arvalb0  What?
    2
  1476.  @mikearchibald744  I corrected a typo lol
    2
  1477.  @TwistyMcFisty  Massive conflict of interest present when gov negotiates w public sector unions. You could lose a lot of votes by doing your job right, and pub sector union memberships are significant. If you walk around asking ppl what they do it seems every second person belongs to either a healthcare related union or an education related union.
    2
  1478.  @nits04  Jealousy is reasonable when it comes to things like housing. Shelter is pretty important and, as it turns out, ppl are figuring out that they don’t like having their ability to build a better present and a promising future for themselves sold to newcomers who often aren’t even citizens. I’m a landlord, btw, so if I can sympathize, why can’t you? I profit off of what is hurting other Canadians right now, so I should be the first to defend this reckless central planning of demographics.
    2
  1479. November has always been like this. Some warmer days in Nov are pretty typical.
    2
  1480. Why the jump cuts?
    2
  1481. Except the mafia attacks you if you don’t pay. They don’t offer a service, or an arrangement, and then leave you alone if you say no. This is just one party to an arrangement saying they won’t uphold their end if we don’t contribute. Adults understand the nature and importance of reciprocity.
    2
  1482.  @Rick-zw9kp  Yea my first one too. Happens a lot lately.
    2
  1483. Do you want to live in the Muskeg? Most don’t. Not a lot of jobs out there either. Maybe if we actually educated our ppl in useful skills we could be the homesteading kings of the world.
    2
  1484.  @cedriclasry9151  I’m more ‘educated’ than most. Lived both urban and rural. Worked white collar and blue collar. The ‘educated’ aren’t more informed or better quality citizens just because they spent a lot of money on some lectures and tests. Drop the elitism.
    2
  1485. We allow big business to f on everybody else, so why not the small cannabis shops?
    2
  1486. It’s not the importance of lives that determines coverage. It’s the ‘interests’ of our betters in those regions. They just mention the loss of lives cuz it works better than saying ‘lets go to war so I (or my donors) don’t lose money’.
    2
  1487. That’s why they are ramping up climate hysteria.
    2
  1488.  @lm9991  As do I

  1489. rigjockey67 Wish I shared the same optimism as you and Ted. I think we have many more years of chaos and confusion to look forward to.
    2
  1490. Isn’t that how it works?
    2
  1491. Strange; normally the media has all sorts of awful names for ppl who are willing to pick up a gun and fight in a foreign conflict.
    2
  1492. You think the government is subsidizing beef production to that extent?
    2
  1493.  @apollomars1678  The Dems ‘predicted’ the election twist, and even coined it the red mirage. Uh oh... See how unproductive this is?

    2
  1498.  @CondemnedInformer  Rents aren’t driven sky high by landlords. They are driven sky high by demand. Would you sell a car at below market value just to be nice to a random stranger?
    2
  1499.  @Meow4B  Most landlords have very real jobs. That is how they accumulated the wealth that allowed them to become landlords. I became known as the overtime guy at work. Now I’m a landlord, and I still have that real job. Cry harder.

  1500.  @ilostmypickle  What is wrong w saying ‘your ppl’? Indians aren’t Canadians. They aren’t our ppl.
    2
  1501.  @AnotherOne-ny5ls  Yea they will. They always do.
    2
  1502.  @mfsperring  Yea, and many are saying she should be censored for calling for the penalization of certain protesters. I thought it was the second group you were referring to.
    2
  1503. Women
    2
  1504. True, and that is largely because women like to throw themselves at them.
    2
  1505. Hey man, they had to work those rough 20 hour weeks for a whole 4 years to get their gold plated pensions for life. It is a tough life for a politician.
    2
  1506. I’d put money on it
    2
  1507. They have plenty of mills down there, and many of them (especially in the South) are struggling. They’ll be alright. Might be a bit more expensive, but they really don’t need us.
    2
  1508. I went there for a work term once. Roomed with a girl, and she apologized in advance for her boyfriend, as he would hate me and be rude because I was from Alberta. She wasn’t wrong. Living there for a bit was eye opening. Nobody back home actually hated the French. We just joked about it. Over there, they actually hate us.
    2
  1509. TL The rest of society isn’t innovating. The owners of production capital are. Maybe you can just retool your mind and skill set instantaneously for a new job, but most ppl will need to do that whole schooling thing first and that isn’t an option for a lot of ppl. Keep pretending it’s that simple tho. No better than the ones that think it’s as simple as UBI.
    2
  1510. Landlords don’t determine immigration policy
    2
  1511.  @ickster23  “My ability to feel any type of sympathy for anyone in Canada outside of my immediate community has evaporated” Funny you mention that. A family member was really angry at me fir saying basically the same thing last week. They couldn’t understand how I could care less about ppl in the Maritimes when I’m on the other side of the country. What do ppl expect from the inhabitants of a “post national state” (our own PMs words)? What a joke we are…
    2
  1512. Caffeine is a drug

    2
  1515.  @bradcanning875  You need help, Bradley.
    2
  1516.  @Albow58  Yea, Canada has been good to those of retirement age. All you had to do was destroy the futures of the young, but who cares if they can ever look forward to home ownership, let alone retirement?
    2
  1517. I may invest in torches and pitchforks soon
    2
  1518. ⁠ @Katinko_100mL  Maybe they do avoid it. Maybe they make their own. All they did here was state an opinion about the quality of products offered on the average store shelf. They didn’t ask for help in choosing how and what to consume.
    2
  1519. Punishing refugees for the actions of their government is highly progressive.
    2
  1520. What if I fly by myself.
    2
  1521.  @pectusin  Your reading comprehension skills make me laugh. It isn’t about assessing ppl by their ability to change oil. It was about pointing out limitations to the a OPs statement about skilled ppl leaving and parasites remaining. This made me laugh. Sorry man, if you are good at writing software, it clearly doesn’t mean your reading comprehension skills are any good.

  1524.  @user-vn7ce5ig1z  They sure are picking winners and losers though. I could go buy some retail electronics in a mall but couldn’t see my family and friends over Christmas? That is the government’s doing. And they expect to be taken seriously still? Please...
    2
  1525. Go look at the CBC channel and you’ll see from the video titles that global is doing relatively well lol.

  1526.  @garyhaggquist740  Min wage increases aren’t a solution for anything
    2
  1527. That’s politics in general.
    2
  1528.  @magdalen5108  Opposing such a regime? Last I checked, it was the other ‘regime’ that kicked all of this off. If Canadians voted in a government, and that government then went and slaughtered a bunch of Americans, would we not expect some serious retaliation? I sure wouldn’t expect ppl to pour into the streets w woe-is-canada slogans. In the end we all know what ‘from the river to the sea’ means, and we all know Palestinians generally support it.
    2
  1529. Never left the city before?

  1530. Darlene Sjostrom Well, I hold little hope for Canada. Does that make me a ‘Yank’ (how bigoted of you Darlene! Tisk tisk) troll too?

  1531.  Bob Barker  What leads you to this conclusion?
    2
  1532.  Bob Barker  Well, were most people in the store white? I heard 2 of the ‘massage’ place victims were white.
    2
  1533. I heard as a kid that if you dig a hole deep enough you’ll just come out on the other side. Must be the plan.
    2
  1534. Boy Freitag How can she speak to the ‘lived experiences’ of white ppl?
    2
  1535. Boy Freitag Why should they? White ppl don’t care about white ppl.
    2
  1536. Why are you dressed like you’re going out to a night club?
    2
  1537.  @22GreenForever  Because I like when societies hold themselves to at least modest standards, such as dressing professionally for a public facing role in the institution that is news media. Why are you triggered by standards?
    2
  1538. He pays the hospital staff well, just like every Canadian must. He doesn’t ‘owe’ them anything outside of the sort of thank you one gives to their plumber. None of these ‘heroes’ are doing it for charity.

  1539. ICE J POSSE God forbid some typos occur when using sausage fingers to operate a phone. You could always engage the point instead of taking cheap shots though.

  1540. ICE J POSSE You’re kind of incoherent for somebody who likes to tell others they can’t communicate, hey?
    2
  1541. I’m no PP fan, but where was all this Canadian nationalism when Trudeau called us post national?
    2
  1542. Sounds like leverage
    2
  1543. Tell us what it is all about in great detail so that we are no longer ignorant.

  1546.  @checkfactschecking  We will need fossil fuels for some time more. Is what it is.
    2
  1547. As opposed the red baiting the West for 4 years. The only delusional ppl I see here are the ones acting like their ‘team’ took their loss gracefully and without baseless accusations. Biden supporters rejoice! You get to see the defeat upon the faces of your foes once again, right?
    2
  1548. Gotta keep Canadians afraid of the guns

  1549. U E I’ll have to take your word for it. Never done the job. Good luck!

    2

    2
  1553.  @adil.670  Ahh. My mistake.
    2
  1554.  @my2iu  Government shouldn’t be subsidizing it anyway.
    2
  1555. You guys still called it the ‘so called’ freedom convoy. Was it the ‘so called’ BLM movement? Was it the ‘so called’ idle no more movement
    2
  1556.  @fernandorego098  And if the plumbers and electricians are f’d so are the hospitals. If the truckers and trains aren’t working, we’re hooped. If the ppl in the mill aren’t working your home isn’t being built. If the mechanic isn’t around, your car isn’t running and you can’t get to work to feed and shelter and clothe yourself. So again, why fo we always act like the well being of public sector employees is so much more important than the rest?
    2
  1557.  @fernandorego098  Well, apparently we haven’t become desensitized to the plight of doctors and nurses.
    2
  1558. No. Open up space to train more domestically. No need to import ppl into one of the best careers around when we have plenty of capable ppl here at home
    2
  1559.  @duttydreadd  Dual citizen? You seem to be able to communicate well, so if you know your stuff we shouldn’t be getting in the damned way.

    2
  1563.  @DormantRV  Well, I don’t like that non citizens can own property? Do you? Many if them might be citizens, but I know that so many of the PR’s at my work are property investors, and many don’t plan to stay here. Not good for your own ppl.
    2
  1564. Well, when legal ‘experts’ construct the ‘justice’ system, you get a system that maximizes billable hours and is prohibitively for the average person.

  1568.  @dellangelo1  I don’t even like PP, but he has explained a million times why he won’t get the clearance. If you wanted the names released to everybody, what good is personal access to the names if you are gagged as a result? Just conveniently forgot to mention that part in your comment, hey?
    2
  1569. Platitudes
    2
  1570.  @62Cristoforo  Sarcasm…
    2
  1571. What would you have our government do? What’s the point in extradition treaties if we pick and choose when to honour them? Meng was arrested as per our treaty w the US. The two Mikes were arrested as political hostages for the purpose of obtaining leverage. We aren’t the only country they are doing this to. This is what we get for doing business w China.
    2
  1572.  @canadiansfor2A  These positions and policies are long overdue, and nobody would be complaining if it wasn’t orange man and red team who were trying to deliver. I don’t even like Trump or Elon, but I don’t like Trudeau either, yet I still liked aspects of his 2014 platform, such as radical transparency and electoral reform. I just knew they’d flake on them, and they did (big time), but had they followed through, I’d happily have given them due credit for it.
    2
  1573. But, I thought elections were super duper extra secure, and that it was conspiratorial nonsense to question them?
    2
  1574.  @leeryan-sp1ds  Probably not
    2
  1575.  @mr.s3253  Lol. Everybody thinking the politicians they irrationally hate are going to jail. Trudeau. Clinton. Pelosi. Trump. They’re all going to prison, except we all know they aint. Well, maybe Trump. You have to ask yourself though, If they never go away for their wrongdoings, why Trump?

  1578. There are conflicts raging all over the world, all the time. Stop caring for things just because rich ppl tell you to. Stop being a sucker.
    2
  1579. Btw, seeing as how you believe we need to do “everything we can”, and that those who disagree have “no conscience” and “possibly no soul”, is it safe to assume that you are posting from the warzone? Perhaps you’re on the way there? Applying for their foreign legion and packing your bags, at least?
    2
  1580.  @jo-annclaessen  Why are you even bringing up the convoy? Nobody is this cartoonishly partisan. Are you for real?
    2
  1581. @f You appear to have been censored. What made them ‘women’ if they were XY and were producing too much testosterone?
    2
  1582. @f I’d say in the 1800s, before they understood chromosomes, they’d be unknowingly defining sex according to traits typically accompanying each chromosome pair anyway. In other words, apart from exceptions to the rule, they were already defining and categorizing man and woman according to chromosome pairs before they even knew of chromosomes. Before we knew what a virus was or what it looked like, we could distinguish between sick and healthy according to the prevalence or absence of symptoms. Without any understanding of a virus we could identify those afflicted w a virus according to the influence(s) a virus has on a person. Knowledge just boiled the same understanding down to it’s basest technical component. Man went from being somebody w male reproductive organs to somebody w XY chromosomes, which results in male sex organs. What a man or woman was or is didn’t change. We just answered why. An objective and technical definition for biological sex is useful and meaningful. A subjective and emotional one (how one identifies) is useless and meaningless beyond each individual’s personal feelings on the matter.
    2
  1583. Anymore? Lol. Hilarious.
    2
  1584. I got the same idea at first too, but he’s mostly referring to doing something in Parliament. That said, altering jurisdiction and transferring more power/control to the feds isn’t great either imo.
    2
  1585.  @bobskaftfeld5611  I don’t think there is a cure. I’d be more willing to bet that a lot of that fundraising hasn’t exactly been spent properly or effectively. After watching my mom die slowly and horribly from brain cancer it dawned on me that, after all these years, she still died the same way, after the same failed treatments, as ppl were dying back in the early 90s when I was sitting in the gymnasium after the T Fox Run listening to teachers talk of how we were gonna end cancer. All that money, and all these years…
    2
  1586. There are far better and more affordable options than asking for more gov intervention to fix a problem that gov created. Stop asking for the ppl destroying your future to play a bigger role in your future.
    2
  1587. Its funny. Lumber prices are really low, yet there are housing crises across the West, and have been for years. We’ll keep bringing ppl in though. What could go wrong(er)?
    2
  1588. Where was all this patriotism when Trudeau called us post national? Almost like it is more about Orange Man than it is Canadian patriotism.
    2
  1589. So little is said about the relationship between population and restrictions/controls. Demand side Econ is one of the greatest public misrepresentations of Econ theory in history. Growth =/= Prosperity for the vast majority. For most it will mean lower wages, higher costs of living, less privacy, and less community.
    2
  1590. Oh good. Everything will be better cuz ‘woman’.
    2
  1591.  @davesbainrps6909  This isn’t India
    2
  1592.  @ninjaweretiger4273  Trudeau declared us to be a post national state, and champions the cause.
    2
  1593.  @Puppetsallaboard  Is that what you want?
    2
  1594.  @John2corner  You’re right. Tourists are a different subject altogether, and if isn’t appropriate to berate somebody out of nowhere for not knowing the language. It’s also not appropriate to move somewhere and not learn to speak their customary language, and we have a lot of ppl in Canada arguing that this isn’t the case when it’s one of the most basic and reasonable things to expect from newcomers.
    2
  1595.  @bdraw9471  It’s inappropriate to move to another country and not learn to communicate w the ppl who graciously allowed you the opportunity. This isn’t a free speech issue. It’s about both practicality and respect. Practicality in that one generally needs to be able to communicate effectively, and a patchwork of languages is highly inefficient and cumbersome. It’s a matter of respect in that it is disrespectful to avail oneself to the opportunities a country or region affords you w/o even taking the time to learn to converse and communicate w them. You can exercise free speech here, Absolutely, but gatekeeping is what immigration policy is all about, and you have to be deemed a good fit and be permitted to enter before free speech even becomes relevant.
    2
  1596.  @RAPEDBYBLACKS  “You are free to go there and volunteer to fight” I’ve asked this many times. The conversation usually ends there. I’m sure they are just too busy to respond cuz they’re preoccupied w fighting the war they are just so so concerned about.
    2
  1597. Funny. I also hear crickets when I make that observation.
    2
  1598. What? If we survive this we’ll have enough new taxes just to pay for the medicine.
    2
  1599. Brett Thomas Same same right? All those industry guys can just get a new trade, go back to school, and/or learn to code. Easy peezy. Let’s all just keep pretending that human capital is simply transferable across industry/sector and instantly downloadable across age cohorts.
    2
  1600.  @marker5706  Keep telling yourself that. Just remember, we are talking about a class of ppl who all said to themselves, ‘I should make decisions for thousands to hundreds of millions of ppl. That should be me’.
    2
  1601.  @brandib2821  So, because she pays into some existing programs already, she should simply be okay w anything else tossed in there? And since when does one have to go into politics to own an opinion? You ARE special.
    2
  1602. R Inf Someone like me? Lol. Okay. You mean somebody who disagrees with you and just sees an honest misunderstanding and doesn’t think it’s a big deal? The horror.
    2
  1603. noir manoir And yea, suffering mentally? Give me a break.
    2
  1604.  @LANDBACKbyANYmeans  You should elaborate on that a bit. Exactly what is “weakening (us) greatly”?
    2
  1605. Yea ppl keep making a big deal of the registered republican angle, but activist types register w the opposing party to meddle in their internal elections all the time
    2
  1606. Post secondary was the second biggest mistake of my life

  1608.  @derekwoodford9955  Why do you guys always jump to genocide or suicide whenever somebody suggests that human proliferation for the sake of human proliferation comes w issues?
    2
  1609.  @raynwolfsbane2084  “I don’t see you getting in anyone’s face” Call me crazy, but I think that might be because you can’t see them at all… Maybe I’m wrong. Are you neighbours?
    2
  1610.  @Us-entry-waiver  “It may not make a difference if he has goons or not” Can you honestly say this would be your rationale were it PP or, say, Maxime getting in somebody’s face while cops look on, only to protect him from cameras when he goes to leave? Maybe you can. Honest question.

  1618.  @taxicamel  I’m sure all these ppl sell their used cars at 75% of market value, just cuz they are so nice and all
    2
  1619.  @BigBore525x  Landlords aren’t being subsidized by the state, nor is housing characterized by oligopoly. Apples to oranges comparison. Ppl need cars to get to work and such. Pretty important. Would you not sell your car for as much as possible?
    2
  1620.  @BigBore525x  Also, oil companies have to go through us for access to mineral rights. They are selling OUR commodity, so the public justifiably has pull there. As for grocery stores, the one in my little nearby town has been trying to gouge, and ppl are just going to another store instead. When it comes to housing, it is a fairly competitive market w relatively low barriers to entry and lots and lots of buyers and sellers. Would you rather clamp down on property rights in Canada, or would you rather clamp down on the broken central planning practices of your government which have been driving up demand?
    2
  1621.  @derekwoodford9955  Couldn’t it be though? Right now the poaching is being done by other provinces or the US. Those are big moves that require ppl really leaving their comfort zones. I wonder if it could be much worse when the ‘poachers’ are only asking you to move to a different floor of the same building.
    2
  1622.  @derekwoodford9955  You said yourself that the poaching is already happening. With this in mind, why would we not expect it to get worse, assuming better pay is offered by the private side without the need to move far?

  1628.  @kayouellette2856  You expect companies to price lower than they can?
    2
  1629.  @kayouellette2856  You’re right, and as I mentioned I was being utopian w regards to nationalism. I was just saying you’d probably have more luck w that than through regulation in our current setting. And you’re right again, but in a world of limited liability how can we expect such things as ‘compassion’ from the faceless monoliths of the corporate world? They will claim to care, but behind it all is a group of shareholders who care for nothing outside of figures on a spreadsheet. They want you to be ‘healthy’ and ‘educated’ for the sake of productivity, which is little different from making sure that they oil and update the machines they’re replacing us with. Problem is, game theory basically dictates that they have to do this to survive. It would be nice if we could ask for, and receive, a consensus built on compassion, but as soon as one player deviates the rest must follow or die, and the more gargantuan and complex markets become the more true this becomes.
    2
  1630.  @kayouellette2856  Nothing whatsoever to apologize for. This was one of the most civil exchanges I’ve ever had on the internet.
    2
  1631. Jonathan GREATCANADADIANCCPCRUSHER If that were still in case in most instances we wouldn’t be a millennial nation of over educated baristas. Some programs are worthwhile, but we need to stop pretending that all educations are equal, especially when we are sticking the taxpayer with half of the bill only for graduates to still struggle to find work that covers the cost of servicing the debt taken on for the other half.
    2
  1632. Carl Sounds pretty typical for post secondary. At the tech institute I studied at they gave us a Russian guy, who could neither speak or write well in English, to teach us micro programming. All he did was throw line upon line of code up on the overhead and then complain when ppl told him they had no clue what was happening. The next year we were literally learning the second component of the material from a guy who had no experience in it beyond sitting in on the same classes as us the year before. Just a joke.
    2
  1633. How shocking. PP as leader appears to be having no real impact on ppl’s political positions. It is almost like we are all ideologically dug in and pretending at being a nation… Stop hanging your hopes on PP.
    2
  1634. Come on, it’s nice to look at (in many places) as a landmass. It’s just hardly a country...
    2
  1635. I think these ‘protests’ are a result of your global foes. It’s a downside to a free society with open access to info. It makes the hearts and minds of the populous porous to external influence. What better time to strike than when a population is reeling from a virus, afraid, elections are right around the corner, and the ppl were just starting to have a serious conversation about their trade/policy with/toward you?
    2
  1636. Yea, well at that point ppl still thought they were just on a long state sponsored staycation and that their job was coming back.

  1641. Why do we have dual citizens from a nation that elected a federally labelled terrorist organization into government? Why don’t we just start drawing new Canadians from the Taliban?
    2
  1642. William White Yes. Puppets to the sorts of interests that have seen us bending over the barrel to do business with China. Our obsession with nominal growth is a symptom of that corruption, as is our cozying up to an authoritarian regime that neither shares nor respects our (supposed) values. While we erode our competitiveness in the name of decency and environmentalism we fail to curtail our consumption habits, opting instead to simply export our externalities to another country where the powers that be are more than willing to allow us to indirectly exploit their people and their environment just to turn a buck. So progressive.
    2
  1643. Quantium There’s truth to it. Billions of dollars being washed in our real estate markets will have some impact on pricing, especially in areas like Vancouver where geography and regs prevent the market from responding to rising prices. I couldn’t say to what extent it’s had an impact though. Rental prices in my hometown skyrocketed when we replaced the domestic workforce with ‘Temp’ (but not so temp) foreign workers (all of them awesome ppl whom I’ve worked with). Growing the labor force without the accompanying demand for said workforce (typically represented by rising wages) has done no favours for working Canadians. You might see nominal growth, but it’s spread over more ppl alongside rising costs of living, so purchasing power falls for many.
    2
  1644. William Gates I agree. We do need to focus more of local/regional government. Currently though, we place a lot of power in the fed.

  1648. Why does everybody complain about the idea of AB leaving Confederation?
    2
  1649. @Rocksteady-hl2ks I just find it funny that everybody who hates AB is either ironically opposed to separation, or oddly quiet about it. W how much hate AB gets you’d think the idea would receive loud support from across the country but, for some mysterious reason, the rest of the country doesn’t seem very fond of the idea.

  1654.  @MrPojopojo  That is an interesting take
    2
  1655. @ You can’t put up housing on property that isn’t your own. Most couldn’t survive on crown land, and it wouldn’t be fair to give ppl special access/rights anyway, especially since most of them are the source of their problems. I can’t build wherever I want, so neither can they. If they want a home, they can work 65 hour weeks like I do in order to make it happen.
    2
  1656.  @bramptonjeff81  Ppl have been trying to help the homeless forever. Most refuse to be helped meaningfully. Giving them special rights wouldn’t fix anything.
    2
  1657. @ Then go help them. Tell me how it goes. Volunteer your own time and resources.
    2
  1658. @ No, the government is neither responsible for, nor capable of, fixing homelessness or poverty. I am taxed heavily enough, and we can’t even maintain the welfare system we have in place. You are being naive, imo.

  1659. @ It wouldn’t end anything, but you’re right that we could allocate public revenues better.

  1661.  @bradcanning875  Yea, and my old man dropped out in grade 9, went into the wrong building for an interview, got a better job as a result, enjoyed a wonderful and rewarding career, and is now retired w a great pension. The city police were also trying to hire him at the time. Ppl now struggle to even get a rejection email in spots like these now, let alone an interview, and much less a job. Keep pretending your generation was so much better and harder, as if they didn’t raise the generation(s) you like to lord yourself over, you big tough guy you.
    2
  1662.  @prophetofthe8th  My father used to fight w me on this stuff all the time. He bought into all of it. Then he retired and went back into the labour market to stay active and socialized. He doesn’t fight w me on any of it anymore, and he certainly doesn’t drop the ‘Canadians are too lazy for the jobs’ line anymore. I recently bought a place but haven’t been able to move in because the tenant is an elderly man and there is NOWHERE here for him to move to, and prices are too high even if there were vacancies, yet they’re building more fast food joints and importing workers for them despite housing crises in my town and the surrounding towns and municipalities.
    2
  1663.  @SillySongs4Everyone2001  Just stop it. All inhabited land has changed hands over the centuries.

  1664. You could always do so by lobbying your own government to stop doing business with SA. Assuming you’re Canadian, I’d bet you don’t like the idea of us buying their oil or selling them military capital.

  1667. Been asking this here and there. No real answer. They can’t decide if they are protesting racism, or police brutality, or capitalism. Mixed messages all around. No real leader or luminaries leading the pack. No hard demands. Yet, somehow, many are calling it a revolution and/or an uprising. What will replace whatever system it is you are bucking? Who will determine this? How do you implement it? So many questions, no answers, but lots of violence and destruction. Meanwhile, if you listen to the MSM, you would have thought the extremely peaceful (by comparison) anti lockdown protests were the coming of the end times. That was, of course, before the MSM forgot about the Great Coof.

  1672. Why!? So you can kill all of the hermit grandmas in the woods with your COVID!!? The entitlement! The selfishness! Well I never!! Also, a bunch of health ‘experts’ penned some document declaring racism a health crisis more pressing than this Covid thing that we were told would destroy the world, and the cure is destroying symbols of the incumbent culture, so that must be permitted to proceed comrade.

  1673.  @bigpacthatseazye3462  And John Smith is a traditional Indian name, right?
    2
  1674. That sounds very nationalistic. I’m scared, offended, and triggered.
    2
  1675. I’ve been on board with that for a while. Public sector employees like nurses, cops, firefighters, and teachers make a whole lot (plus pension, benefits, etc) considering the numbers pursuing the positions. You see the market at work in the private sector, but the public sector just gets to avoid the whole market forces side of things. Now everybody becoming a cop/nurse/teacher etc is doing it for the $ and not the job.

  1679.  @lewy1  What is wrong with no tax on OT? Can’t stand the thought of not getting your cut from somebody else’s above and beyond sacrifice? Ppl who toil for longer hours should get to meaningfully feel the reward for that. Where I am ppl regularly turn down OT because they got tired of seeing themselves punished for grinding. The laffer curve is real.
    2
  1680. @ How is keeping more money in the pockets of waitresses and blue collar grunts designed to ‘help the better off’? And, better off or not, taxing ppl less in an environment of rampant and unapologetic government waste is a good thing.
    2
  1681. Tellthetruth n/a They could easily argue they felt their lives were threatened given the violence and destruction that tends to follow these protests around (you know, all that violence and destruction that they say is perpetrated by saboteur undercover cops lol). A mob was on their property (the video shows them enter the property through the gate). They made it clear they were defending their property from said mob w violent tendencies. Nobody was shot. What should they be charged with exactly?
    2
  1682. The government already can’t afford our existing programs, and they aren’t known for getting value for their dollar.
    2
  1683. Dougie Drums Locking down ppl and the economy was already the opposite of “letting the chips fall where they fall”. Society made a call and sacrificed people’s livelihoods. Now society has a responsibility to help those ppl out their Ives back together. We should have let the chips fall by the looks of it, but we didn’t. We (our ‘authorities’) didn’t listen to good advice, bent over for China, then panicked and forced millions out of their jobs. Society democratically f’d up and now society is responsible for picking up the pieces.

  1700.  @AtteliaVel  Exclusivity wasn’t unique to axis powers. Most any ppl or nation will have standards for membership/access. The axis powers were certainly neither the first nor last to include things like ethnicity and skin colour in these standards. I can’t exactly just start calling myself First Nations, can I? Why is that? Because I don’t meet the requirements. I don’t have the correct blood… Are they not zees too?

    2
  1713. Don’t be silly. Immigration means we all get richer! It’s simple. Oh, but also, we need UBI because automation is pushing labor to the margins of the production function and the shift is happening too fast for the market to correct. Wait, no, nm, we need UBI now because something something Covid something something keeping Canadians safe. What? You don’t believe us? Well golly I can’t imagine why...

You need to be a rocket scientists to get into an RN program right now, and I know some insanely bright and competent ppl who were turned away from medicine programs. Why would we welcome foreign students into our schools for programs for which there already isn’t nearly enough room?
    2
  1718. At the beginning China and the WHO said it isn’t contagious, that masks don’t work, and that it came from a bat in a wet market. At the beginning your news media made it their priority to call ppl racist and make sure borders stayed open to infected areas.

  1724.  @zaffazad4040  ‘A mere $150K a year salary’ Mere!? The typical Canadian HOUSEHOLD income is 2/3 of that…
    2
  1725.  @zaffazad4040  Is four on four off a bad thing? Sounds pretty awesome to me! Thing is, if the ‘danger’ were the deterrent you assume it to be then the level of competition to get the job wouldn’t be so intense. I’ve known many who tried and only one who actually made it on w the city force. One of them is an RC now after the city force turned him down multiple times. He was a super athlete deans list uni student. Closest thing to superhuman I’ve personally met, yet he couldn’t make the cut. Fact is ppl want to be cops; danger or no danger, and many of them would do the job for a fraction of what they are paid now. The danger level doesn’t determine your worth, and the thrill is what a lot of them are signing up for. It’s like becoming a teacher and then complaining and demanding more $ cuz you have to deal w kids all day…
    2
  1726. Or we just let the market do its thing. Uni/college is outdated. Glorified gatekeepers. Apart from lab work, all you need is a computer and the will to learn today.

    2
  1739. This isn’t Trudeau’s fault. We knew this was happening, and half of us defended it. If it isn’t what Canada wants, ii’s certainly the incompetence and betrayal it deserves.

    2
  1745. Am B Nothing suggests he was singled out through ‘malicious racial profiling’. I’ve been pulled over for expired tags before to. I was singled out, like Adams, for my expired tags. Difference is I wasn’t drunk and violent towards the officer.

  1748.  @kimberlynroberts7059  Doesn’t matter. They witnessed trespassing and suspected theft (they thought he was the one responsible for a string of thefts on the area, or at least that was the story before). Anyway, if you want to play the ‘who started it’ game, then technically he started it when he went trespassing. Should they have chased him w guns? No. Should he have gone for the gun? No. Seems like the result of everybody being stupid to me.
    2
  1749.  @kimberlynroberts7059  You just keep ignoring the part where he was most likely there stealing materials/tools from the site… You can assume no crime was committed, or that there was no intent, but in the end he would be alive today were he not trespassing in the first place. Don’t wander into other people’s homes. It’s pretty simple. Stop pretending he didn’t bring due scrutiny upon himself. Regardless of whether the idiots who chased him down handled it well (they didn’t), the kid was up to no good and it got him in trouble.

  1754.  @derekeliopoulos2670  And you can’t be united if you share little in common. A nation is a ppl w a shared common identity. The less ppl share, the weaker the nation. We aren’t talking about opposition to biodiversity. We are talking about opposition to diversity for the sake of diversity in the realm of culture and ideas. Funny thing about diversity, btw; it disappears without segregation. Diversity is a product of populations being separated from one another for long periods of time in varying environments, but you think it is self evident that something arising from segregation would be unifying?

Now we, as a society, are responsible for helping them put their lives back together. Grow up.

The conversation was happening for years, it picked up traction, the movement formed, and it was an overt possibility. Whether you wanted it or expected it doesn’t matter anyway. If the EU was the priority then they should have voted as such in the face of the real possibility that the UK was bailing. I am being reasonable. Brexit didn’t fall out if the sky in 2015. Pro EU Scots gambled and their gamble didn’t pay off. Let them leave the UK, go their own way, and join the EU as their own entity. England can go have a cry about it if they don’t like it. Time for us to stop clinging to these fractured non-nations because ‘stability’. It’s only a reasonable argument in divorce because the couple has presumably stopped having kids. With a country, you don’t stop having kids, so all you are doing by not tearing off the bandaid is condemning future generations to an increasingly dysfunctional system and an increasingly difficult break up.

  1942. Kirankmar Patel “I am unemployed because somebody took my job. That is the excuse” No, that is the straw man. The whole point in strengthening the economy is to better the lives of those residing within said economy. Not all types of growth are equal. Importing labour the way we have been drives up real estate prices (among other things) and suppresses wage growth (with contraction sometimes only being staged off my min wage laws). The result is growth, but a smaller per capita share and a transfer of surplus from consumer/worker to producer. With the majority of people falling under the ‘worker’ category and having no assets to call their own, they are excluded from the booms to asset and capital holders while watching their personal competitiveness and purchasing power dwindle. This abundance of labour, and a lack of any need to compete for it, creates a growing borderline underclass who, though they have access to the same services as other Canadians, lack the ability to pay into public revenues to such an extent that they are net contributors. As a result you see a decline in the quality of, or outright cancellation, of services as there is simply less per-person to allocate across the spectrum. But it was all worth it so that Tim Hortons can keep killing it and banks can stay propped up on real estate.

They didn’t though, cuz he’s their bud and he was offering them $.

Studied stats and modelling long enough to know that you generally can’t trust stats and modelling outside of controlled experiments. And pride in what? We didn’t build Canada. Pride in having been born somewhere, or abandoning the problems of one place and leaving them for others to deal w? Not much of a cause for pride. Why would anybody have pride in a country that doesn’t even take itself seriously enough to force it’s politicians to answer questions and to act w integrity; opting to act or speak only when the accused wears the colours of the enemy tribe? Naa. I gauge the quality of my country by the ppl I share it w.

I blamed neither bad decisions nor hardship on the government or anybody else. If I say I don’t like that ppl don’t train their dogs well, am I blaming my failures on untrained dogs? Do you have reading comprehension issues? As for the transparency of governments, I couldn’t really say. I’m not criticizing the government though. I criticized my fellow citizen and their lack of standards. The gov will do w/e we let them get away w. Finally, moving isn’t simple. This is especially true when it comes to moving to another country. You already know this though. That being said, I have plans.

  2022.  @peter12246  Most of them seem to be planning to. Retiring back home once they make their $ here. Many are sending as much $ as they can back home so that they can return to a great life in a country they want to be in. One was building a tidy little food stall empire back home w his brother. Canada was just a stepping stone in their plans. As for hate, most don’t actually ‘hate’ it so much as they find it dull or lacking in community. Cost of food (especially produce) is a common complaint. An Egyptian truly did hate it here, but said his kids had grown up a bit and had lives and he didn’t want to pull them away from that. A Kenyan I roomed w during a work term couldn’t wait to finish his studies and go home. Said all we do is work, and that we don’t know how to live or appreciate life. I concede that hate was a bit hyperbolic in most instances, but I wasn’t thinking it would be taken so literally either. Anyway, are you done making stuff up and obsessing over minor details yet?

  2031.  @steve8803  Lived here my whole life. Trust me, there aren’t nearly as many opportunities as you think, and the number of ppl from out East has dropped SUBSTANTIALLY. I’ll tell you the same thing the Oil and Gas guys tell me. If you want a good job in it, you’ll need to get in through friends and family a lot of the time, and the white collar guys I know only think there is a couple of years left in it for them. I live in a small town that runs on 2 things. O&G is one of them, and there are plenty of empty storefronts and struggling hotels due to the lack of industry related traffic through town. Our provincial gov just reinstated the fuel tax because we are expecting to get creamed on energy revenues. Yes. Some ppl got in, and have made a great lives for themselves. Ppl get into finance and make great lives for themselves too, but have fun getting a rejection e mail on an application, let alone an interview. A couple anecdotes from your friends don’t mean a whole lot. I’ll give you an idea of the situation. I was looking for a place to rent. Best option I found was a one bedroom loft above a shop on an acreage for $1,500. Another applicant got it. There were many applicants. Having seen the prices, I realized I’d be better off dumping my savings into a modest purchase. The sellers told me the tenant was ‘good to go’, so I purchased. Met the tenant, and found out he was an old man with nowhere to go. I even appealed to a charitable organization in the area to help him find something, but they said they had given up on helping find ppl places to live. I ended up letting him stay, he remains my tenant, and I have since purchased a second modest place. I actually live here. It isn’t going swimmingly.

  2032.  @steve8803  Oh, and that 60 something year old tenant of mine had to go back to pipelining recently to make ends meet. He has been working in the industry here longer than I’ve been alive. Immigrated here for it. He’d love to talk your ear off about how it is all falling apart…

I only have a tenant because there is nowhere for him to go, and I don’t have it in me to put an old man out on the streets. I actually live here, unlike you. My family works O&G. My friends work O&G. I’ve worked O&G, and I studied energy markets formally. Our gov also reinstated the fuel tax because energy revenues aren’t looking very healthy. Things aren’t going swimmingly. A couple of anecdotes from your East Coast friends mean little to nothing, but here is a recent anecdote from two O&G friends of my own. One is white collar, and one blue. One said he thinks he has two years left of reliable work, and the blue collar one left and went back to carpentry because he read the writing on the wall.

  2037.  @steve8803  No, that came up in a comment YT deleted (twice) which was a response to your ignorance regarding AB and its economy, which was your attempt at discrediting the idea that young ppl are in a crappy place relative to previous generations. You’re trying to talk about responsibility, for some reason.

  2039. You can’t find a place to rent in my area in AB. I just bought a place, but won’t be able to move in for a long time because there’s nothing out there for the current tenant, and I’m not about to push him out when I have somewhere to stay and he has nowhere to go. There’s a whole lot of Filipinos who moved into the area in the last decade tho. Awesome ppl, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t hurting Canadians through policy, and especially our youngest and hardest off.

  2062.  @RobboElRobbo  Means absolutely nothing unless we physiologically change to represent our new environment. As it stands, we are basically still the same animal we were as hunter gatherers. Some might not adjust to captivity as well as you. Are they of a more primitive lineage? Perhaps. Does primitive imply better or worse? No, it does not. Some animals won’t even breed in captivity. Perhaps you are well adjusted to your cage, but others aren’t there yet. Speciation typically takes a day or two. Be patient…

Where did I attribute value to anybody? All I’ve really said is that somebody in his position will likely be in a prison of their own for their whole lives, and that for many prison could be preferable to facing society. You’ve addressed none of this, and just made stuff up about ‘valuing’ drunk drivers over kids. You know the guy was drunk right, and that he didn’t intentionally hurt anybody? You know what alcohol tends to do? It makes ppl do stupid things they otherwise wouldn’t have done. This isn’t somebody who went out looking to kill somebody. Imagine the guilt you’d feel. What would the point in prison be?

  2073.  @chrislim7976  His choice to drink and drive, yes, but not to hurt or kill anybody. And are those values standardized across the board, and/or are we gonna pretend that whatever values you are referring to are objective measures as opposed to subjective functions of culture? Many would argue that a human life could never be paid back in a human lifetime, if any. Should he go away for infinite years? My point was never that he served ‘enough’ time to pay off his debt, but rather that, depending on circumstances, there may or may not be ‘value’ in prison as a ‘punishment’. Should he serve the ‘full’ sentence? Idk. Why? Because that is the number the courts came up with in that Jurisdiction at that time? The irony here is that you trust the system to accurately assign value (in years and dollars) to human persons and lives, yet you don’t trust it to, on a case by case basis, determine whether or not there is efficacy in further incarceration.

You can get a free ride for nursing and med, but you have to remain in Canada. You pay it all back if you leave to work elsewhere.

  2134. PP C Lol buy back. With what $ after Covid. $600 million won’t even come close. Are they gonna buy the optics and accessories? The plate carriers? All the mags? Some people have upwards of $10K invested in one firearm. What about the costs of administration? Are they actually going to enforce it? How much will that cost in policing and in the courts? I’m with you. I don’t expect a fair value buy back, if any but back at all. And before somebody tries to tell me to go sell the optics and accessories off privately, keep in mind this means a huge glut of supply is hitting a market that has essentially lost all use for it, so there is no demand. Optics and accessories often cost WAY more than the firearm itself, and now they will only fetch a heavily discounted price. Thanks government.

I personally loved these other aspects of their first platform under Trudeau and, had he not been their leader, I might have even voted for them. Point is, you can’t equate elections w a referendum on the carbon tax when the carbon tax is only one consideration among many. Many Canadians want to be able to vote directly on something that has so significant and universal an impact, and that is hardly unreasonable.

  2174.  @KUYA-NATO_OFW  The growth you are referring to is nominal demand side growth. This is high school level econ. Draw a simple two variable supply and demand graph/model. W wages for the sorts of spots we are importing for already bottomed out at min wage, we can’t really assume any positive supply side shifts unless we get pretty abstract and inter-temporal. However, more ppl means more demand, so positively shift that demand curve. Tell me how the new equilibrium looks. If you want to get more nuanced, take a look at something called the Cobb Douglas production function, which will illustrate one way to think if the interplay between different factors of production, chiefly labour and capital. If you go this far, take note of what happens to your precious nominal growth when you just throw more labour at the problem, and then consider that the declining returns you are witnessing are occurring alongside the inflationary pressures identified earlier w the simple SD model. Stop taking econ lessons from corporate media and crack a book.

  2201. mcfoolskully Everybody focuses on the cultural/racial aspect of the immigration and population debate. My argument has always been that more people = more complexity and ‘usage’ = more laws. I wonder how long it will be before I can’t camp on crown land, for example. More people drinking beer at the beach means (on average) more garbage left behind means it becomes an issue means rules/laws. It’s one of the big problems on the economic right. They trust in markets for everything and tend to ignore that much of what we need from markets right now can’t be delivered by markets right now. There is a lag. Nobody is building a land factory anytime soon, we aren’t terraforming Mars or going to space anytime soon, so how the right believes the market will find away to neutralize the inevitable crunch on freedoms that accompanies this push for human proliferation is beyond me.

In most disciplines the most important stuff comes in the 101 stages. This whole ‘you don’t have a degree’ line, at this point, is nothing short of elitism most of the time.

  2244. Zepher And yea, it absolutely isn’t simple. That’s why I’m a little more hesitant right now to throw shade at government than I normally am, and I’m not really a pro gov guy. Who the hell knew how to handle this properly. Just the logistics of it. Apparently the German finance minister killed himself early in (or so I was told). I just don’t really see the point in focusing so much on what happened when everybody was flying the seats of (and ****ing in) their pants.
    1
  2245. Zepher They certainly appeared to hold out better by the numbers (without some accounting for population distribution). At the same time though, the US and Canada aren’t really comparable in terms of how gov is administered at the fed level relative to state/provincial level. They have 50 states with a lot more autonomy than the provinces. In many ways the results for one’s state in the US were determined more by how states around them reacted than they were by, say, Trump and his admin. I’m not saying you aren’t right, just that I don’t really see the point in trying to make a comparison, especially still so early in. Nobody even trusts most of the numbers anyway. It’s a complete ****show.

The reason big businesses often skate with regards to taxes is because jurisdictions compete for their presence and production. It’s not as easy as simply cutting subsidies, taxing rich people heavily, and handing out free money to the peasants. I agree that it sucks when the Amazon’s skate and small business ends up picking up the tax burden, but it’s tough to avoid at times when they hold all the cards.

  2273.  @Peacenutman  Yea, there is absolutely that side of things to consider, but we also pay, and have been paying, to do business with China in ways many don’t give much thought to. All China really did was adopt Western industrial/manufacturing practices without the corresponding Western environmental and labour practices/standards. So, in the name of a discount, we are basically outsourcing our inhumanity and pollution to a place out of sight and out of mind, whilst patting ourselves on the backs at home for being compassionate stewards of the environment. Then there is the question of whether or not you are actually getting anything cheaper. If you assume all like goods are fungible, then sure, but we can’t assume that, and so we can’t assume equivalent utility per dollar. Open up a discount china made power supply and observe the joints/solder work and you’ll see what I mean. If I pay half as much, but get half as much use, have I saved any money? Then there is the question of national security. Does it make a lot of sense to trade heavily w a military rival and potential near term military threat? They are known for stealing IP, and they are known to leverage their diaspora for political influence and intelligence gathering. It is a super complex topic and I’m not 100% sure what is best, but I am confident that there is much more to factor in than access to some cheap goods that, based on demographic trends, they might not even be able to produce competitively in the near ish future (depending on who you are listening to).

    1
  2341.  @Hyperpandas  I obviously don’t care what the ‘system’ says. You know as well as I do that anybody claiming to have a mandate from a constituency should at the bare minimum have a technical majority, if not a sizeable majority. The ‘system’ doesn’t always make sense, which is why JT promised to change aspects of it to get in initially. He then completely abandoned that promise out of political convenience. What about his ‘mandate’ to actually deliver on the things Canadians voted for?
    1
  2342.  @Hyperpandas  I should do some math? There could be 100 parties and one party could still get a majority. A party could get 100% of the vote, in theory at least. And you say I’m the one who needs to read a book? With only a handful on mainstream parties a majority isn’t that far fetched at all. As the number of parties increases obviously the likelihood decreases, but the more parties you have the more likely it is that a country is politically/culturally fragmented, and the harder it becomes to call it a nation in the first place. Hence why some think Canada needs to be split up. That way you don’t have some guy, the near equivalent of a continent anyway from some, declaring that his piddly minority speaks for Canadians generally.

  2372. walrusArmageddon If you don’t think it exists, then you live in a bubble. White privilege is itself a racist concept, in much the same way the notion of male privilege is inherently sexist. But sure, I’ll give you a couple of personal examples. Not long ago I saw a J walker (who was not white) stop, flip off, and hassle an elderly driver who honked after having slammed on their brakes to stop from running them over. He then turned his attention to me when he noticed I was looking at him judgementally for being such a POS, and between threats of violence he felt the need to keep injecting my whiteness into the picture. F**in white boy, I’ll *** you up white boy, etc. Why was my race relevant? Not long before that encounter, an acquaintance was being picked up by her father after lunch. She had to go across the street with her friend to get their ride so that the dad wouldn’t think she was on a date or hanging out with white guys, god forbid. Then there’s the myriad instances of flagrant racism I encountered working a night club door to make ends meet while in school. An alleged refugee couldn’t get in because he didn’t have the necessary ID, it’s only the law, but somehow that became my fault and my race immediately became the focal point of the conversation. In fact, my(our) race (despite a diverse staff) would frequently become the focal point of the conversation when people weren’t getting their way. Got too drunk in the bar and you’re being asked to leave? Boom accusations of racism followed by racist ranting lol. The hypocrisy surrounding race is off the charts. You can’t even place a sign on a campus that says ‘it’s okay to be white’ without ppl flipping out. I guess, for many, it really isn’t okay, you know, cuz of original sin and all.

  2462. Yuzhou Qu I never talked about the value of the dollar. Focus. “Nobody own real estate by ‘luck’” I never said anybody does, but seeing as how ppl inherit real estate all the time by circumstance of (usually) birth, I would say that makes their acquisition a ‘lucky’ one. Nothing wrong w that though. I was implying that they are lucky to have it, not that it’s acquisition is the result of luck. If you want to pretend that market circumstances are time static then be my guest. In reality, the circumstances that lead to some accumulating assets before other are often time dependent. Hence the reason millennials are (were? Who knows anymore) expected to be the beneficiaries of the greatest inter generational wealth transfer in human history. Boomers were able to accumulate wealth, and now that wealth is to be passed down. As for working harder, I’ve spent my time in lockdown studying 12-14 hours a day for a professional STEM certificate to couple with my education in economics and statistics. Kinda hard to go and ‘work’ though when society literally shut your workplace down and truncates demand. You also might want to keep in mind that the topic here is the indirect economic impacts of the laundering of illicit gains through Canadian housing markets. This isn’t just ‘foreign investment’. It’s the washing of proceeds from a black market trading in a substance that is most responsible for the opioid crisis killing ppl by the thousands. I’m not so sure that’s the kind of foreign investment we are looking for.

Sure, nobody wants to touch Canada w a ten foot pole financially; not just due to inefficiency, but as well due to significant regulatory uncertainty. Everybody also knows that it isn’t exactly a secret that Canadian housing has been a go to for dirty money for a while. By all means though Matt, keep refuting arguments nobody here has made if it entertains you so.

  2478.  @derekeliopoulos2670  A couple more examples came to mind at work today Normally it takes years of work to become a lead hand here, but corporate said our dept needs diversity in management, so they transplanted some diversity into the role in the form of a female. She isn’t even allowed to do a lot of the work because she is too small and weak and they fear she will get hurt, and she has little idea what she is doing because she has zero experience, but she is paid more than the ppl around her anyway. Sound like ‘strength’ to you? They also hired another lady onto the weekend crew cuz corporate wants more women here. She is also incapable of doing the work, but is being promoted ahead of her male counterparts so that they can put her somewhere where she can be useful, which means the experienced guys who can actually do the work are literally held back from advancement due to their relative competence. Does this sort of discrimination sound like a strength, or like it is conducive to anything good, to you? Then there is the issue of Canada’s abysmal workforce productivity. Turns out chucking labour at the market doesn’t magically make everybody rich, especially when you are focusing on diversity over merit, and failing to match the forced expansion of labour supply w likewise expansions in capital investment. Then there are the more explicit costs associated w manufacturing your beloved diversity, such as our housing crisis, and our stressed public services. Tell me all about how it makes us strong though.

  2484.  @montrose699  Are you seriously still talking about handouts to corps? Go ahead though, keep giving your money to the gov so that it can hand it over to lobbying interests then. You acknowledge the incompetents, yet you still want to give them your money. Tell me you’re a sucker without telling me you’re a sucker… Yea, costs are skyrocketing. I feel for your son, and I have been there. Would be nice if ppl like him didn’t have gov pigs digging into his pockets so that they can fill the trough, wouldn’t it? This isn’t even a matter of being pro tax or not. It is a matter of not wanting to give my money to ppl who I don’t consider responsible enough not to squander it. If I felt I wasn’t handing it all to highly corrupt system I might feel differently.

  2485.  @gerrys6265  How can we expect ppl to want to ‘chip in’ in a post national state (our prime ministers words). He has won the office 2 times since then. Give me a nation, composed of a serious ppl, and I’ll be HAPPY to chip in. Give me more of what we have now (a patchwork of rivalrous competing interests w zero sense of nationhood and/or community), and I’ll keep rolling my eyes at the prospect of ‘chipping in’ to help the less fortunate. Without a serious ppl who feel beholden to each other, and who hold their ‘leaders’ to account, all we can expect is for the tax $ to be squandered purchasing votes from insular interests.
    1
  2486.  @gerrys6265  Taxes are theft. They may be a necessary evil, but somebody is literally coercing your resources from you, and ultimately through violence if one resists to that point. That is theft. That one might consider government a ‘legitimate’ authority means little. They are still operating under essentially a mafia model. It’s just a mafia that we have accepted, and most of us by default as a result of our place of birth.
    1
  2487.  @montrose699  I didn’t call you a sucker because you think differently from me. I called you a sucker because you want to keep giving money to the corrupt behemoth that keeps pandering to the lobbyist/corp interests, which is clearly problematic to you. You gotta walk before you can run, and right now we are not a mature and responsible enough ppl for high taxation. We can’t trust our ‘leaders’ to use it properly because we are too much of a joke of a nation to hold them accountable.

More and more are coming here from other provinces because they don’t like those provinces. They come here because AB offers them something the other province(s) did not. Who says many of those ppl wouldn’t want to separate as well?
    1
  2527.  @TT-fq7pl  And I would also prefer foreign outfits weren’t cashing in on our natural resources. Go talk to separatist types. I’d put money on most of them agreeing. Bending over for big international capital is hardly unique to AB.
    1
  2528.  @TT-fq7pl  Leave then, if you don’t consider it desirable. Unlike leaving a country, there is little to nothing stopping you from switching provinces. Instead of just complaining about how terrible it is, why not go to a “desirable” province? I sure would. The loads of ppl coming here from BC to start at my work are more than happy to admit that they left more than just the expensive housing. And the immigrants aren’t fleeing climate change… Get a grip already.
    1
  2529.  @TT-fq7pl  Maps change. They always have. Nothing lasts forever. Why would countries? Listen to yourself. You sound like so many AB critics who just want to moan and complain but won’t do what needs to be done. It is like the abusive spouse who just verbally abuses and accosts their significant other, but then can’t fathom the notion of that person trying/wanting to leave. If ppl aren’t getting along, they go their own ways. Why would/should it be different for populations? There is a reason self determination is considered a right (for w/e the word of the UN is worth). Call it idiocy if you want. The insults always start when one person can’t form an argument. History is chock full of examples of countries/ppls splitting. Get over it.
    1
  2530.  @TT-fq7pl  It is beautiful. Very. I even say this to them, and ask them why they want to leave. I love visiting BC and i envy its residents in some ways. Turns out they hated the culture and politics as well as the economy. Now you’re resorting to elitist appeals to one’s education level? Classic. Yea, you really should move to BC. You’d fit in perfectly. I have spent enough time in both school and trades settings to know that educational attainment is hardly correlated w intelligence, let alone competence. Just leave AB already. Stop making excuses.
    1
  2531.  @TT-fq7pl  And let me get this straight… According to you the affordability of AB is about to crater due to the multitudes of newcomers in the form of both out-of-province Canadians and foreigners, yet AB would be “idiotic” to try to place sovereign borders between themselves and this scenario?
    1
  2532.  @TT-fq7pl  “The culture and politics are so much better for an educated and empathetic person.” All I hear is an elitist huffing their own exhaust. Get over yourself. This is coming from an ‘educated’ person, btw. “Worse, many of them are nasty and gullible, and they don’t recognize the ill effects of their own desperate need to satisfy and justify their own egos” 😂. Pot meet kettle. This is pretty rich coming from somebody who is spending their time belittling others for being ‘uneducated’, and acting like they are lesser ppl for having a different perspective. Oh no! A small minority of truck drivers have mean bumper stickers directed at a crooked politician. The horror…
    1
  2533.  @TT-fq7pl  Also, by pointing out how politically and culturally different AB supposedly is from the rest of the country all you’re managing to do is support the idea of separation. For an educated person you sure are bad at debate. You aren’t supposed to make my arguments for me. Did they not teach you that at Superior Person U?
    1
  2534.  @TT-fq7pl  You seem to think you’re highly educated, so would I be far off in assuming you have a bachelor’s degree or higher? This means you almost certainly paid a tidy sum to basically have somebody read to you, all so that you could have a piece of paper that told everybody that you paid a lot of money to have somebody read to you, and you think this correlates with intelligence or competence? That is what you believe separates you from the “yokels and rubes”? Dunning, meet Kruger. Don’t feel too bad. I too made that same mistake. Remember that stuff you said about gullible ppl trying to justify or validate their egos or w/e? Yea… You might want to think on all of that a bit. Meditate on it, like the higher being you clearly are.

There was simply little to no regard for productivity or work quality. I’m not gonna be convinced that this will change when they can wear their housecoat and have a movie streaming nearby.

  2569.  @Jimmynorth1040  A lot of that isn’t really their choice. I’d hunt all the time if I could, but rules and restrictions make that difficult. Doesn’t matter anyway. They go hunt to fill their freezer. However much it costs them is immaterial. There is utility in the act of hunting and growing your own food that goes beyond dollars and cents. We evolved to hunt. We evolved to consume flesh. Nature is metal. Get over it.

How did all those other ppl get by then (as shown later when others approached him with the common sense to stop and listen). Assuming it’s true though, see how much more productive simply explaining details like that is compared to calling ppl ‘bootlicker’ and the like (see other convos). As for ‘charging’ him, I didn’t say he did, but u gotta be pretty stupid to walk right back up to a cop after he pushes you and tells you to get back. Get back can also be interpreted to mean don’t immediately approach me again afterward.

  2599.  @erichoughton4128  No, we need a leader at the helm. Things weren’t as divisive and nuts under Chretien and Harper, and Harper is an economist. You can’t chalk it all up to their time in politics. Things have gone downhill everywhere, and it isn’t a result of there not being enough career politicians, imo. I’d pin it more on the globalization of industry, which ramped up international demand for resources, and the changes in culture/society stemming from a shift from ppl living in reality to ppl living on the internet. Many would also disagree that things weren’t that bad under Harper (I’d agree with you though).

In a situation where expanding housing stock faces all these issues do you… A) Attempt to go head by head on the hydra, most likely in futility, while more and more demand pours through the gates, effectively handing the architects of what you describe everything they want on a silver platter, or… B) Address the most obvious issue, stop throwing more competition for housing into the market, and then deal w the hydra while things stabilize for a little while? One is doable. The other is a decades long and probably hopeless grind.

  2655. Disposable income increased 10.8% when 8 million ppl were looking to gov assistance? The CERB is $2,000/month. What does that say about Canadian incomes and standards of living when $2,000/month replaces incomes and that much $ is freed up? What does it say about many of the ppl getting access to CERB? At double the CERB ($4,000/mo or $48,0000/an) you still weren’t making that much, and now your income is cut in half, so how did disposable income rise 10.8%? Disposable income is $ remaining after essentials. We still had rent. We still had to buy food and pay utilities. Nothing changed on the essentials front. Did the pause in student loan payments have that big an impact? What would that tell us about the state of education costs and/or the value of these ‘educations’.

I work somewhere where they are paid close to that though, and it is brutally competitive to get in w them, even w all the turnover and retirements. My Gen Z buddy is trying to become a welder. It all pays garbage unless he gets on w the union, and he has been fighting to become a boilermaker union member for years. He doesn’t know if it is worth it unless he can get on w the union. A red seal welder just joined us at work to be a labourer because that pays better and has more security than he had welding full time. It isn’t as black and white as you make it sound, and trades programs are full up, so w everybody figuring out that uni isn’t worth it, you can bet wages in trades will start falling as well as everybody and their dog tries to get in there.

  2701. Jimmy See “Get off to your computer and check out the real world and you will realize very quickly that this is not some sort of media propaganda” My resistance to the narrative is based on “real world” experience and talking to “real people”. In my experience, the racism and sexism go the other way more often than not, but I just chalk it up to those “real people” being *#%^ty people and move on. The “agenda” ppl are referring to isn’t the media’s having acknowledged that these things exist, but rather the media’s insistence that they, by and large, aren’t attitudes held by, or actions taken by, non whites (and women in the case of sexism).

How much does the extra security cost all the retail outlets (spend a few weeks working security in a downtown liquor store. Have fun fending off the hatchet wielding crackheads that the cops know by name). How much does it cost in law enforcement? How much does it cost us in the courts? These ppl are expensive both inside and outside of a cell. Difference is they are only a threat to property and public safety outside of the cell. Also, that $1K a day is almost certainly a mean average which includes fixed costs. The variable or marginal cost of another person in the system isn’t gonna be $1K. I know a girl who should have been kept locked away after she tried to run over a cop w his own squad car. She didn’t do much time. Got shot at while breaking into a rural property w some others later. Then the system dragged the poor guy who fired the warning shot through the system… I doubt punishing the victims in the courts for having the audacity to defend their family and property from junkies is cheap either.

  2776. @Jeff Johnson And UBI requires a cashless system if they don’t want to bleed tax revenue.
    1
  2777. @Jeff Johnson UBI, so they say, would be scaled back w income. Kinda like ppl w Covid, they’d be taking cash work on the side while collecting their $2K/month or w/e it ends up being. You can’t give everybody UBI w/o simultaneously clamping down on tax evasion/defrauding UBI.
    1
  2778. @Jeff Johnson If it scales down w income, ppl will take cash jobs just like they did w Covid. Ppl couldn’t staff their businesses because many would only take a cash job while on CERB. If you are taking cash work and not reporting it, so as to avoid losing CERB/UBI, then not only are you defrauding welfare, but you are withholding potential tax revenues. Depends on the amount of work/cash. I agree it’s not ‘UBI’ technically if it scales, but UBI also wasn’t originally supposed to exist alongside existing services like public health care. It was supposed to be the one hand out to replace them all. Alas, that is not what ppl think it is or how they discuss it anymore. Canadians expect health care w their UBI.

  2787.  @terrymckenzie8786  Entrance exams and marks don’t really matter if the rule is citizens first. If the schools don’t like it then they can say goodbye to public funding. If they decide not to operate here then we merely find ourselves incentivized to shift away from this archaic and outdated means of ‘educating’ ppl. Funny your proff would say that, cuz most of them aren’t even there to teach, and could care less about the quality of their instruction or the performance of their students. If they are hardly ‘educating’ the ppl who live and work here, and are instead just wrapping up some human capital for export, then what does it matter if they pack up shop? Somebody who wants to teach and train the locals will take their place.

Pouring out into the street to celebrate the murder of Israelis (which is what this is) at the hands of a federally recognized foreign terrorist entity certainly crosses all of the lines.

We clearly have no desire/will to couple that population w the necessary capital and training so, in the context of Canada, population growth for the purpose of defence is moot.

At least the cops are given a choice. The ‘just doing my job’ line doesn’t fly when ‘just doing your job’ means betraying everything you supposedly stand for. Ticketing ppl for seeing family while letting ppl shop retail? How twisted does it need to get for them to see they aren’t the good guys now, and that ‘just doing my job’ is another way of saying ‘I’m just a merc enacting violence where I’m told’. I get that it’s a tough position, especially for those w families, but I struggle to sympathize beyond that when ‘just doing my job’ means using violence to keep you from doing yours. Mercs.

Don’t. Make. Me. Laugh. Like I said. I know many have families, and I can respect the decision to keep putting boots on necks cuz you gotta keep your family fed. They’re still the enemy though.

This was done under the auspices of preventing Russian influence and internal destabilization. OPZZh had about 10% of the seats in parliament before Z dissolved the party.

  2952. If you support the gun ban, then you should put your money where your mouth is and start a fund aimed at compensating owners FAIRLY for the property you hope to confiscate. We know the gov can’t afford it. The registry alone cost about $2 billion... but Trudeau wants you to believe that a buyback can be administered for $600 million... If you support this then do your part and compensate your fellow Canadians fairly, otherwise your kind of an authoritarian pos and, dare I say, un-Canadian. Just a heads up though, a lot of rigs are well in the thousands of dollars once you account for optics and accessories and ammo, so you and all of your like minded control freak friends should fire up that fund and start saving right away. You’re gonna have a big bill...

The school system (straight through post secondary in many instances) manufactures dependency and shallow critical thinking skills. Performance based funding for post secondary is a step in the right direction. Instead of funding useless programs that contribute nothing economically, we need to fund the right ppl for the right programs and we need to expand the seats available in high value programs. Want to study literature formally? Be my guest, but you’re paying your own way.

  3016. Blue Dot They still have gun violence, and the trend was already in decline before the ban in Australia. It more or less just continued along its original trajectory, so it’s disingenuous to attribute this to the gun buyback when there was essentially no change in behaviours or frequency of events. As for Japan, we are talking about a very tight knit and homogenous culture with a strong sense of community and civil responsibility. Apples to oranges comparison. Also, as somebody else already mentioned, these places are both surrounded by ocean, making snuggling harder and more costly. Apples to oranges again. Canada borders the US, which doesn’t require explanation as to how this differentiates us from Japan and Australia with respect to firearms and smuggling. South of the US is Mexico, where strict prohibition does nothing to stop thugs with guns from kicking down doors at night so that they can dismember the inhabitants and string up the remains from overpasses so that everybody can see what happens when the law abiding gunless get in the way of the armed law breakers. And all of this before even broaching the whole rights and freedoms part of the debate.

  3025. Mike Webber That’s labor Mark. That’s just us swinging our hardware around. Human Capital (for the most part) is our software. It’s quality training and education (high value education). You can replace labour. Bodies are, by and large, fungible. You can’t replace the person and everything their knowledge and experience contributed, and that’s because their accumulation is a time intensive (often lifelong) process. Unfortunately, as capital deepening sees labour markets being driven more and more human capital as opposed to actual labour, a natural consequence of this is that jobs and industries become more and more specialized. More specialization means that employees and their skills are less transferable across industries. Less versatility means harder times in unemployment and harder times for communities hit by sweeping changes.

Could have been confused for a pinch with other dude getting in the way trying to break it up (saying plz plz plz). If you had shoved a cop like that you’d be the one charged and nobody would care.

  3051. noir manoir No I don’t see the problem. Idc what happened after. If he lied, well, lying = bad. I’m not arguing that side of things though (hence why I just said highly unlikely and move on despite it not being clear to me where guy’s hands landed when he shoved the cop). I’m basically conceding your point lol. There is no lack of congruence. I’m saying that the altercation isn’t a big deal. You’re responding by saying he lied and said he was punched. I’m saying it’s hard to tell where hands landed but that you’re probably right, and you’re still mad.

  3088.  @isuckbut906  Supporting evidence of what, precisely? That money doesn’t necessarily buy strong leadership? This doesn’t require empirical evidence, and any empirical work on the matter will be dodgy at best due to the abstract nature of statesmanship, and the difficulty in measuring a politicians performance through simple metrics. Just ask yourself if you want somebody who is there to be paid, or somebody who wants to do the right thing for the right reasons, and who considers the office an honour and privilege to hold.

  3106.  @BigBore525x  Yea, grocery is oligopolistic. Not much competition. Tons of competition in housing. Many buyers and many sellers, and if the barriers to entry weren’t relatively low then there wouldn’t be so many average joe landlords. And my personal property is private property. It is mine. It doesn’t belong to you, and if I want to use it to build a better financial future for myself, I can, and should be able to. As for the central planning aspect, landlords couldn’t ‘gouge’ you, and sellers couldn’t ‘gouge’ you, if not for the requisite demand driving up prices. When your gov intentionally balloons population in the name of growing labour supply, and the housing market can’t respond (for reasons including aspects of central planning as well, but that wasn’t what I was referring to), then prices will rise. Allowing non citizens to own property doesn’t help either. How about we start there?

  3107.  @BigBore525x  I didn’t say anything about free markets. Everything is restricted to an extent. Regulations everywhere. I never said it is a free market. I said my house is my property, and neither you nor anybody else should be eager to tell me what to do with it. To some extent there will always be regs and restrictions, but the goal is to avoid those as much as possible, is it not? I’m not concerned w replacing workers. Economies are supposed to expand and contract. Perpetual growth is the grocery tycoon’s wet dream, no? Let it contract. Shocks are always bad for economies in some way or another, and that goes for demographic shocks as well. This was inevitable. It is funny; you complain about the asset class whilst making their arguments for them regarding demographics and nominal growth. Who cares about future workers if you’ve been priced out if the ability to start building a future for yourself now? You don’t get to tell other ppl what to do with their property because you think immigrants are a good idea. If you’re going to support inflationary policy, then lie in the bed you’ve made, and stop complaining about the consequences and expecting others to eat the costs on your behalf. I never got to enjoy that sweet sweet 0%. I’m at 7%. Life is unfair.

Seems to me we just need to do a better job of training more nurses and doctors, and keeping them in country.

    1
  3127.  @kayouellette2856  One informs the other, sure, but they’re two different things, and democracy in itself is a concept wholly divorced from market structure or economic theory. How democracy informs economics is a product of contemporary culture.
    1
  3128.  @kayouellette2856  In a market economy w voluntary labour the producer can only beneficially price their goods at a price the market will bear, and they can only pay wages that labour suppliers are ‘willing’ to work for or else they won’t attract employees. That doesn’t mean the prices will be ‘good’, or that the wages will be satisfactory. It just means, in theory, that the outcome is efficient. This is partly why many aren’t big fans of globalism/globalization. Free mobility of labour means more competition amongst workers, lower wages, and offshoots like higher housing prices. Sounds familiar, right? Ever notice how the media acts like it should be easy for businesses to find staff?why should it be any easier for them to find ‘good’ staff than it is for individuals to find ‘good’ wages? In addition, it means producers can pick up and leave for another jurisdiction. If, in w/e jurisdiction, tax regimes and regulations are more stifling than other places, producers will invest elsewhere. This is why it’s difficult for governments to control pricing or to tax some companies ‘fairly’. We could ‘inject’ democracy into the economy, but that doesn’t mean producers will respond well to the outcome of say, referenda, and that they won’t just pick up their ball and go somewhere else. You’d probably get better results from nationalism. Our ‘post national state’ (as our own PM called it) isn’t as utopian as it sounds. Without a nation and the corresponding sense of belonging, what would prompt producers to prioritize ‘their’ ppl over their profit? Without that glue binding the different pieces of society together Canada is little more than a geographically defined consumer collective characterized only by competition between individuals, and small groups like families and small businesses, and larger entities like the dreaded big corps who often have the reach and resources to pick up and move to whichever jurisdiction offers them the best return. Why would they feel invested in w/e jurisdiction that is at all? That is in itself a somewhat utopian take on the potential benefits of nationalism, but I think it’s a lot more plausible than expecting large multinational commercial interests to ‘care’. This is why there is talk of harmonized tax regimes within large trading blocs.

  3193.  @joeisawesome540  Based on stats can, rent cafe, and numbeo numbers, the average income for BC outside of Van is $48K ish after tax, and the avg rent in Langley is $2,300, but that is for 1 to 3 bed places, so let’s just say $1,500. The average person is spending around $18K on rent. We’ll assume $300/month for utilities and all that (internet included, so this is a very conservative estimate). We are at almost $22K gone from that $48K which leaves us w about $26K, and we haven’t even considered food, medical, transportation, clothing, misc supplies, children and, god forbid, some leisure and recreation… In other words, you aren’t the average person if you’re able to put away $25K annually, even w discipline. Maybe you are in a position that allows you to save, and good for you, but ppl aren’t pouring out of BC and into my province because it is too easy to live in BC…
    1
  3194.  @joeisawesome540  Btw, almost 50% (47.3%) of Canadians makes $40K or less after taxes. This means that, using the conservative estimates above, almost half of Canada’s population wouldn’t even have $18K for everything after rent and utilities. Food alone is going to eat through about 50% of that (pun intended).
    1
  3195.  @joeisawesome540  Sure, to which a part of your reply was “the average Canadians don’t want to save money”, so I endeavoured to illustrate why this was way off. Yea. 100%. Parents should be better parents. It isn’t likely going to happen though, and ppl would be struggling in this economy whether they had good parents or not. Good parenting doesn’t do much when you are struggling to find $20/hour, your rent for a dump of a place is $2K, and the average detached home requires a $100K down payment to avoid CMHC. It isn’t uncommon for condo fees to be approaching $1K in my nearest major city. These are the ‘affordable’ options? Pre-Covid I’d have agreed w you, but we left ‘you should have saved harder’ territory a long time ago. Now we’re in ‘you should have been born to richer parents’ territory.

  3260.  @AtteliaVel  Citizenship isn’t the standard. Citizenship is the formalization of one’s membership. Standards are met in order to obtain citizenship. A DNA test? So why does one group get to exclude on the basis of blood, yet it is evil for others to do so? Is that not the sort of thing the big bad axis powers did? And no, first come first served is not the standard for land allocation, and never will be. If it was, we would be redrawing maps the world over. We aren’t though, are we? Where we are, it is typically a result of war/conquest, because this is how land is allocated. You either take it and hold it, or you lose it. Nobody said being an animal in a finite world was fair, and nobody sets rules for that world except those w the biggest stick(s). Want land re-allocated? You better find a very big stick.
    1
  3261.  @AtteliaVel  So Canada’s indigenous get to act like axis powers and base membership on ethnicity/blood? Why is it okay when they do it? As for land allocation, it has never been determined on the basis of first come first served, and never will. Those who are happy w their current holdings might tell you otherwise but, if they actually meant it, we’d be redrawing maps the world over, wouldn’t we?
    1
  3262.  @AtteliaVel  No land will be given back. It will need to be taken back. That is all there is to it.
    1
  3263.  @AtteliaVel  Shared ancestry is what distinguishes ethnicity and culture. You yourself said FN decide membership by blood/genetic markers, and now you claim it has nothing to do w ethinicity? As for first and second tier citizens, FN have more rights and privileges than I do. I’d love to be allowed to hunt and fish as they are. It is a pretty big deal to me, and a double standard amongst ethnicities involving some of the most fundamental of human activities. You claim I don’t understand history, yet you conveniently neglect that conquest is and more or less always has been how humans allocate land between populations, and that FN were engaging in conquest amongst themselves long before we arrived. They are human like the rest of us. Oh well…
    1
  3264.  @AtteliaVel  Which power, if not violent agency, gives a ppl or individual ‘ownership’ over land? There is no such thing, and the ‘modern standard’ you refer to is merely a status quo maintained by the powers that be for the stake of protecting their interests in said status quo. Guess how they maintain/enforce that status quo…. Violence. As for FN having it ‘better’, I didn’t say they have it better. You mentioned two tiered citizenship, and I pointed out that they literally have rights and privileges beyond those which I enjoy. My school had FN only study areas. Nobody else could find a table, yet there were plenty open. Whitey just wasn’t allowed to use them though. That is a minor thing, unlike some getting much greater access to our natural resources. That is two tiered citizenship. What they do to themselves to kneecap their life expectancies isn’t my fault, nor is it the fault of Canadians in general.
    1
  3265.  @AtteliaVel  The only thing keeping us from each other’s throats today is our collective post war fear of nuclear annihilation. You are conflating a shift in morality with a shift in costs. The human animal hasn’t changed fundamentally because ‘nation states’. We have merely altered our approach because the costs are too high. We still try to take from each other, but we are forced to do so less overtly. It is primarily accomplished economically, and it is called neo-imperialism for a reason. Anyway, yes, you’re right. Dead Canadians did horrible things to dead members of FNs. My meaning was that Canadians today aren’t responsible for the actions of Canadians yesterday, nor are they responsible for the unadvisable actions taken by many FNs today. Anyway, to your last point, that is some seriously bigoted stuff. There is no “history of whiteness”. Just a history of winners and losers. Figuratively stack and stand on the bodies of history all you want. It doesn’t mean you salvaged the moral high ground from defeat.

  3315. rain1956 Fair enough, but have fun making theses changes w/o massive social unrest. To me, given the narrative, it seems pretty futile. Nobody is equipped to make these changes and nobody is trusted. There is no consensus about the nature of the crisis. There is no reason to trust other international actors to behave. There is plenty of room for the measures to be used to transfer wealth and assert control. If what climate fear mongers say is true (I have no stance either way) then they have a logistical and technical nightmare on their hands that no existing government or coalition of governments is ready to address. When the hyper wealthy pushing the idea start walking the walk, maybe I’ll listen. In the meantime it remains hard to buy in when the pushers refuse to curb their own consumption and habits despite supposedly believing the world is about to end.

All you need to do is draw a pretty picture and move some curves around and this was all easily predictable. I know because I did it while I was studying economics formally. Nowhere were we ever told that it is advisable to drive long term growth via labour. In fact, the Cobb Douglas Production Function provides a very simple explanation as to why what we did was ridiculous. Where do you think we were always going to end up with diminishing marginal returns on labour alongside linear coats? Not my fault you don’t understand the basics.

  3369.  @kimberlynroberts7059  How did they chase him if they didn’t see him there. We all saw him there on camera, so was it just a coincidence that they assumed AND he happened to have been trespassing? No crime no pursuit? Since when? Tell that to the cops… I agree that they prob didn’t need to pursue, but he is in video on the property clearly not out for a jog. Trespassing is a crime. Serious enough to warrant going after him as they did? No. I agree. But had he not been looking to steal from ppl, or at the very least entering a residence where he wasn’t welcome, then no pursuit would have occurred. Had he not stupidly gone for the stupidly wielded gun, he’d almost certainly be alive.

  3378.  @osmosis321  Also, if you actually wanted the tax to abate pollution and protect the environment you’d want every cent to go towards giving ppl alternatives, and developing remediation tech (which is still a massive gamble, but better than redistribution amounting to a transfer of consumption). Most cities in this country still have garbage public transit options that aren’t useful to the majority of inhabitants, and roads in cities are so congested that you’re often worse off in your 20 km commute than the rural guy on his 100 km commute. I’ve lived both and can attest to this. Better infrastructure would go a lot farther for the cause than rebates would, but it won’t translate to votes as well due to the time intensity of development. I would actually be okay w this if we were getting alternatives to polluting as a result, but we aren’t and we won’t, near as I can tell.

As somebody shopping for a rental property I can tell you that a well developed suite adds more value than just that attributable to monthly revenue. That suite is a house below a house. You’ll pay at least $120K for a 600 sq ft condo right now. You think a house within a house can’t add $80K, especially over a few years of appreciation? You’re right, Brad; the math speaks for itself. You just don’t understand it. Somebody willing to build the sweat equity in their home can see a huge return, especially right now. There is a reason I’m not sweating over the cost of building a shop right now.

His gender diversity is the product of a manufactured 50/50 split, which means he placed genitals over competence. I would honestly support the Greens more than I do if it wasn’t for their progressive pandering and identity baiting. Canada wants/needs competence and leadership, not platitudes and affirmative action. Btw diversity is not a strength. Language barriers are not a strength. Conflicting belief systems don’t build strong communities. Just take a look at the Jimmy Dore segment looking at how Anazon/Whole Foods use ‘diversity’ data.

I don’t need to know much about criminal vs civil, or the justice system in general, in order to observe ppl caring way too much about something so commonplace simply because the news media tells them to. We’re so well trained that we’ll even take the PM seriously when he says a leadership change is needed at Hockey Canada, even despite his own out of court settlement involving unknown events w a minor from his teaching days. Sure though, go after the leaders of big bad hockey Canada for buying ppl off, as if this isn’t business as usual today. You think the news organizations making hay of this haven’t acted similarly?

Watched the Daniele Shaver video. He was shot by cops in a hotel hallway while crying, begging, and crawling on all fours. Drop the pathetic baiting. It’s gross. He fought two cops, stole one of their tasers, deployed the taser on a pursuing cop, appears to have hit him, and is then shot. How do you know the officer that shot him didn’t think it was a pistol being pointed? You fight police, take their weapons, and use those weapons on them, you will almost certainly be shot regardless of your pigment or lack thereof. Shoot him in the leg? Have you ever used a pistol? Try shooting a narrow moving target like that while fatigued and pumped full of adrenaline. This isn’t a movie.

I think, at a bare minimum, we shouldn’t welcome ppl who hate us or our allies whilst loving our enemies.

With our small population relative to landmass, we’d be wise to cultivate a ppl who know how to make Canada too costly to hold, as opposed to too hard to take.

    1
  3514.  @TheRollinRocker  Yes, because they need to move around like we do. Should we treat them the same? No. Should we act like dogs don’t have animal needs just because they aren’t human? No. And dogs do have the capacity for reason, albeit not like we do. Many animals can. The comparison was meant to be lunacy because the idea that dogs shouldn’t get to run free is lunacy.

  3515.  @TheRollinRocker  These are all feelings based positions. You feel like heavily restricting your dog’s ability to move and play to a highly limited set of enclosed and restrictive spaces is humane. I don’t, and I don’t feel like off leash dogs are the menace others seem to. Oh well. I just take the ‘raise your dog well enough that it doesn’t maul kids’ approach. It has been very easy and very effective.

  3516.  @TheRollinRocker  I also follow the law. I just don’t agree w it. My dog shouldn’t be literally leashed in a park because a small minority of ppl had bad experiences. If we ran everything like you ppl want to restrict/regulate dogs we wouldn’t even be allowed to have a beer without a license from the government. And not everybody has access to 18 acres. Some ppl and their dog(s) just have the nearby park.

  3517.  @oleetu  We leave a lot of things up to ppl’s judgement. It is one of those things you usually do in a society that likes to call itself free. The problem here isn’t even the laws. It is how everybody is frothing at the mouth for the dog’s owner to face the full wrath of the law despite knowing next to nothing about what unfolded. You’d think this woman just personally murdered somebody and fled the scene with the way ppl are reacting. How many of these dog nazis do you think make it through an entire month without some kind of comparably minor infraction?

  3568. Véronique VIAUD Who hunts rabbit with a pistol, and who shoots a rabbit three times? He was not literally killed like a rabbit. He wasn’t harmless. He was a drunk driver who had just violently assaulted 2 cops, stolen one of their tasers, and used said taser against the other officer who then careened into a parked car while giving chase. Guy steals taser. Guy shoots cop with taser. Cop could be incapacitated. Cop has a pistol on his belt. Guy already stole, and used, a weapon once... Put 2 and 2 together. He was far from harmless.

  3569. Daniel G Yea, he wasn’t a drunk driving threat anymore, but that’s because he violently assaulted 2 cops, stole a taser, and then deployed that taser on the other officer.

I’d put him down too, and I’d expect to be put down by a cop were I to pull the same nonsense.

  3582. I remember the MAGA crowd being hyper confident in the lead-up to 2020. They thought they had it in the bag as well. The US situation seems to have shifted the political landscape in Canada somewhat, and with the libs proposing more money for CBC, you can expect a bump in the promised media subsidies overall when the election kicks off. In addition, Carney will likely push UBI, or something like it, which could really draw in the disaffected young and struggling elderly. I don’t think it is decided yet at all.
