My one hope is that the meltdown is tied to commercial real estate, which will hopefully avoid this whole thing.

lol exactly.

I want to show up, do work, get paid, be left alone.

I’ll do really good work, and take pride it in because that’s just who I am, but I don’t want to do overtime, I don’t want to go above and beyond for the company, I don’t want to play office politics, I don’t want to jockey for higher roles. None of it.

Show up, get paid.

Dimishing returns tax calculated on personal worth, not including liabilities.

The more you make/have the more you pay.

Doesn’t matter if you have it sitting in investments, antiques or income, it all gets taxed the same. Can’t hide it by subtracting liabilities, because those are your own responsibilities, not the governments.

This will shift the burden to the upper class and remove the burden from the lower class, it will also help the middle class by not being stuck in the middle and being able to be judged on levels and on a scale.

Apply the same to companies, it will actually encourage mega-corps to split into smaller companies.

Because there’s a profit to be made.

Every penny of yours isn’t theirs yet, so their work isn’t done.

I thought that whole segment of the population has moved from covid vaccines to abortion to drag story time to blocking trans rights to blocking kids gender rights, so they’re several “crusades” removed from this, and yet they’re dragging this up again?

For what? Points with people in the slow lane? People studying up for their conservatism fascist turn SATs? Or just to dredge some more outrage for his new look party of “no new ideas, just point the finger and be obnoxious”?

It’s looking a lot like the latter. I hope people see through it, or get tired of it, but we all know we don’t vote in parties in Canada, we just vote them out.

Chaired by Stephen Harper.

Someone should chair him instead

Scotiabank said Wednesday it’s cutting about three per cent of its global workforce as a result of changes at the bank and customers’ day-to-day banking preferences, as well as ongoing efforts to streamline operations.

Let’s fix this up a bit: Scotiabank said Wednesday it’s kowtowing to global market trends with needlessly firing about three per cent of its global workforce as a result of changes at the bank and customers’ day-to-day banking preferences, as well as ongoing efforts to streamline operations. a bullshit forced recession and to force the existing workforce to work harder and be more subservient.

I’m so sick of defending him from all the blatant lies told about him, mainly because I’ve only ever voted LPC as and ABC option, but I can’t just let sleeping dogs lie with the more extreme lies.

I’ve been painted as a Trudeau lover by some, and that’s only because they only see the world in black and white, you’re either against him or with him.

I really really wish I could have a conversation where I could criticize some of the stuff he does/has done, and give him recognition for other things, without a political conversation turning into the same sound bites from the news, or bullshit from Facebook within 30 seconds.

Looking at the news out of India, I wonder if some of that affected Trudeau with Indians eligible to vote in Canada.

Looks like the media and people there are really running with it, even if it’s not a good look for their government

Hey Randy. How about you just face justice like the rest of us would have to

What the eff is that picture?

Is it normal for politicians to have mock gatherings to announce things as we see here with the curtain pulled back?

So play dirty because we have to stoop to their level?

I’m sorry, fuck no. Absolutely fuck no.

We shouldn’t have had to get here. The unwritten rules shouldn’t have had to have been broken, and they shouldn’t have to be matched.

You know what’s going to happen if we go down to match their level? They’re going to stoop lower. Then lower then lower.

Never argue with someone in the dirt because they’re drag you down and beat you with experience.

So what will be done? Due process. It’ll be slow but it’ll win. Slowly but surely the trash will be taken out. It won’t be easy and it won’t be quiet but it’ll be done.

Eh, this isn’t traditional engagement with representatives, like letters, calls, etc. This is planned and executed coercion, backhand lobbying and other tactics to get their stuff done.

If they did it correctly, sure I’d support it and ask the other side to get to it, but I can’t support underhanded tactics to get stuff done with politicians.

At this point, regardless of which company it is, it’s pretty much guaranteed the big grocer chains are acting in bad faith and are at the heart of a lot of economic issues for low and mid-wage Canadians.

I think the answer starts with breaking up vertical monopolies and making sure that acquisition and distribution of goods between stores is competitive and I think it ends with parts of the supply chain becoming crown corporations.

People can sit there and complain about the LCBO ask they want, but the buying power and distribution abilities they have could go a long way for Ontario or Canadians in general for food as well. I’d rather have that savings and money going back into the our pocket then Gaven fricking Weston.

50±1.5% agree doesn’t seem like “support” to me, especially coming from Angus Reid on a conservative issue. This seems like a draw at best.

I didn’t see full results from that article but that’s a really thin platform to base this policy on.

Because retailers took advantage of inflation to push profits even higher, especially one specific retailer who has a vertical monopoly in the grocery sector, of which they’ve been caught and convicted of using to fix the prices of bread in the past.

They’re still high because food is a staple, a necessity. Competition can’t spin up in several months. And competition certainly can’t compete with this existing farm to grocer system.

These prices are never coming down. They’d keep going higher if people weren’t so angry they were stealing instead.

The best protest is to not shop there.

I know. Sounds stupid.

Farmers stands. Farm to table markets. Farmer’s markets.

Call farms and see if you can place orders. They need larger orders? Start ordering with friends, neighbours, family.

This stuff is grown in our backyard, and we are paying for some guy to buy it to sell to some other guy for a huge mark up so we can pay even more for no reason.

That stung. A lot.

That may not have hit home for everyone, but that definitely hit home for me and exactly my time and place in the world.

The moves come as a wave of layoffs have hit the tech sector. Companies such as Meta, Amazon and Google have made cuts.

The Canadian work permit includes study or work permit options for the accompanying family members of US H-1B visa holders. It became available on 16 July and was scheduled to remain in effect for one year, or until immigration authorities received 10,000 applications.

Seems like right time for them to apply as many fear losing their jobs right now, as well as the spectre of an immigrant averse White House possibly on the horizon.

These are talented individuals that we’ve been losing due to salary differences between our country and the US for years. It’ll be determined how they contribute, but I expect a tech boom if this becomes more of a habit.
