In fact I’d be very surprised if it is not. Last winter we got a decent amount of snow in my area. Not this year.
It’s only fair since I’m sure we’ll be asking them to return the favour shortly.
The lesson to be learned from that whole ordeal is that letting the Speaker bring whoever to present to Parliament without any checking is probably a bad idea.
Right, I remember now someone shared that a few days ago. Well, I suppose that’s less impressive then. And way less impressive on the part of the HoC to not pass something basic like improved voting access.
Respect to all the Bloc MPs who voted yea. Those guys make out like bandits under the current system.
This guy’s “plan” for fixing housing is cutting funding to cities if they don’t fix it. Seems like Pierre isn’t particularly interested in staying in his lane, either. Which is totally reasonable, the federal government should care about housing. Just like it should care about the rights of its citizens.
I guess that depends on if you think this was done because they are no longer working with the BJP or because it looks bad in Canada to be seen working with the BJP.
According to the article it’s Q3 2023. From what I can tell the data is drawn from here, which is sourced from the National Balance Sheet Accounts which are updated quarterly.
I agree with the expert in broad strokes, though I think that competition should come from a publicly owned grocer.
Jewish people aren’t collectively responsible for the actions of this group.
I came across this interesting article when I was doing some prior research on another one of these “charities” which are entirely about political advocacy.
When Trudeau changed the ITA in late 2018 to allow charities to spend 100% of their resources on public policy dialogue and development activities (PPDDA) it means that charities, both “left”, “right” and “centre” registered charities, can spend 100% of their resources on PPDDAs! Yes not 10%, 20% or 49% but 100%. Yes that means that a registered charity does not actually have to do any charitable work – the Liberals have just redefined certain political activities as being charitable. PPDDA is similar to non-partisan political activities under the old rules. Charities are still not allowed to support or oppose a candidate or political party.
So prior to 2018 charities were required to do some amount of actual charitable work, while this change in 2018 opened the door for charity organizations whose work is 100% political action. It seems like it would be easy enough to change that back.

The thing is that this is actually not a vague situation. No one is arguing that parents aren’t able to teach their kids right from wrong. The issue is when the parents’ values come into conflict with the child’s own inherent right to express themselves as one of the protected classes specifically outlined in section 15 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Most topically along sex/gender lines, but also many others.
Thankfully being an asshole is not a protected class so we are free to teach people to not be that.
Finish the thought.
. But that doesn’t give them the right to override their children’s own rights under the Charter, notably their children’s rights to life and security of the person.
Parents have the right to teach their values not as a product of being parents, but as a result of their individual rights to freedom of expression. What they don’t have is a right to enforce those values on their child if their child rejects them.
Exactly. Quebec law is not the USA’s business. American owned businesses understood they would be subject to Canadian law when they set up shop here.
I mean, in this case it’s, “Mind your business.” Quebec’s language laws are not the USA’s concern.
Yeah, that’s convincing. Really gonna win people over with that one.
