If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that crime only exists for the poor.

Classic Tim Banks.
Dude called the RCMP on myself and some friends having a bonfire on Tracadie Beach once.
Yeah, I’ve been catching up on Doctor Who and the ads at the beginning of episodes were skippable last week, but today they’re not, and the ads they’re talking about in this article don’t even start until the end of January, so it’s likely to just get worse.
I won’t know though, cancelled my account this evening.
I assume the lobbyists pay for that privilege.
We don’t have waste storage for the greenhouse gasses produced by fossil fuel plants either but Nuclear opponents never bring that up.
Because conceding definitely ended things after Crimea.
It’s more than just that though. Adding more housing to the market without dealing with large scale short term rentals and people hoarding investment properties will just lead to more hoarding as the people who already own property use the basically nonexistent interest rate to leverage their assets to keep buying up more profit properties.
They’ve already tackled interest, but they still need to do the rest before building more will actually help.
In the meantime, freeing up housing not currently available to homebuyers who want somewhere to live would certainly help, and would free up more long term rentals as well, which would help with the absurd prices rentals have reached.
That depends. Was your sister selling essential goods while more than doubling the price over a three year period while claiming they have to because of “supply chain” issues, while their parent company owns the entire supply chain?
Seriously, if they want to switch most of their workforce to unpaid, untrained cashiers, they’re going to get mistakes.
You’re not missing anything. A lot of Convoy supporters and people making fun of the person’s appearance.
Holy crap those replies are a garbage fire.
My family loves instant coffee and shuns regular coffee. Just one more thing that makes Thanksgiving dinner with them unbearable.
Yeah, all the things he’s saying people are mad about are things he could have helped with over the past n years.
I’m already not thrilled with him, and if his inaction leads to Conservatives getting into power I’ll be even madder. Singh really needs to hold his feet to the fire and I don’t know why he’s taking things so easily.
So this is actually extremely cool, but that article headline, combined with the bit about the Pope weighing in on climate change (again), isn’t doing it any favours.
If they’re making record profits, why do they need so many subsidies?
Using the Notwithstanding clause is an admission by the government that it’s trying to pass legislation that goes against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
It should at the very least require a full explanation and apology by the Premier, as to why he felt citizens’ rights were unimportant.
Except that the Notwithstanding clause literally suspends part of the charter of rights and freedoms in order to pass a law that the government deems more important than citizens’ rights, like in war time, or during a pandemic (which they didn’t even use the clause for), not to push through right wing identity politics that have been deemed unconstitutional.
It also makes it easier for people to seek help, since they’re not worrying about jail time for even asking.
This actually makes me feel a little bit better: it’s not me specifically they’re passive-aggressively refusing to cover, they’re just incompetent.
After Phoenix, you’d think that anyone taking on a government contract would make sure they’re adequately staffed to handle the workload.
Now now, the cops were doing something: they tried to break up the Ottawa people at Billing’s Bridge who were preventing more trucks from getting downtown.
The cops weren’t sitting on their asses, they were complicit.
