My taxes are higher and the value of my dollar has greatly reduced under Trudeau... not sure what else there is to explain.
One thing Trudeau took away before my bank account even had a chance to be happy about it was the spousal income splitting.
I never said he made my bank account happy, I said my bank account misses him, ex. things were a lot better for me financially under Harper than they have been under Trudeau, even excluding Covid
My bank account is missing Harper, I doubt it'll miss Trudeau.
Louis-Philippe Sauvé narrowly took the lead away from the NDP and then the Liberals late into the night.
How are the Hamas warehouses overflowing with aid if Israel is blocking everything?
Certification Denied In Proposed Negligent Design Class Action Against Gun Manufacturer For Mass Shooting
The Ontario Superior Court recently emphasized the need, in a negligent design claim, for evidence on the product from a qualified design expert, even in the context of a certification motion.
Ontario Superior Court refused to certify the class action against S&W with respect to the Danforth shooting (and M&P 40 was used)
Here's the big question: is the NDP willing to bring down the Government if the CPC force this topic into a confidence vote?
No, you can quit though, which would have a similar effect if the labour market wasn't being fucked with low-cost labour.
Huh, as a Linux user who puts up with Proton's unwillingness to support Linux, to me this seems to he saying "Stop paying for Proton until they make Linux clients"
Yeah, and look at how China treats their citizens to be able to do that.
Considering how the last protest in Ottawa was broken up, I think we're past general strike territory.
Great, so maybe you can stop paying for my healthcare and I can stop paying for yours.
Free expression bud, it's my right to be a judgemental asshole. Take that up with Pierre Trudeau.
The first two (labour and quality control) aren't really what affect the MSRP. Labour makes a difference, but it' materials cost that really drives price, and QA isn't really the differentiator you might think.
Uh, what, both of these have a massive affect on final price.
The fact that labour is so expensive in Canada, the US and Western Europe is a big reason we farm stuff out to cheaper places (like Mexico and China) that don't have pesky things like high safety standards or employee benefits. I mean, shit, the fact the huge disparity in labour costs between the two countries is reason the TFW program even works. Not to mention that cost of labour is the main reason companies push for automation... it costs a lot less to have a couple guys maintianing robots than 20 guys on an assembly line.
You are correct in that QA itself is basically nothing on the MRSP but failures can cause the end user a lot of time and money to deal with... not a hassle I personally want and nobody else should either. QA is one of the biggest reasons I never buy any big ticket items made in China.
Plus there is the fact that buying literally anything Chinese is supporting an oppressive authoritarian regime.
I'd be willing to bet that the number proportion of motorcycle owners with health problems caused by riding is a hell of a lot lower than the proportion of people who don't eat right and don't exercise enough and have health problems linked to that.
And no, it's not just overweight people I don't like, it's also people that are sick all the time (like, weak immune coughs and colds type of stuff).
Buying a motorcycle or classic car doesn't necessarily lead to injury in the same way that overeating and being lazy to the point of becoming a land whale does.
I never said "Don't engage in any risky behaviour". Stuff like cardiovascular and lung diseases and Type 2 Diabetes doesn't happen over the course of days, weeks, or months, you have to be chronically treating yourself like crap for years to get to those points.
The BYD only costs $15k because the workers on it's supply chain are making pennies on the dollar compared to NA, the quality control throughout the supply chain is garbage, and the Chinese government subsidises exports for the express purpose of killing the industry of other countries.
If we did all those things we could probably have a NA built EV for $15k as well.
Who says I haven't already gotten enough exercise today?
You're aware of the concept of overworking your body, right?
Perfect, let's just get rid of public healthcare then
If your buddy who likes gambling with green lights was convicted of a traffic offence as part of that accident he should have been on the hook for his own healthcare and the healthcare of anyone else he hurt.
The survey by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail found 43 per cent of respondents say they support the move, while 20 per cent say they somewhat support the measure
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress says it's planning a court challenge to prevent release of names of alleged Nazi war criminals
The call comes three months after Auditor General Karen Hogan published a scathing report on Sustainable Development and Technology Canada.
Hopefully this doesn't get lost in the mix of other scandals (ex. ArriveCan, foreign interference) like it did last time.
The Canadian government mostly relied on an honour system when it awarded billions of dollars in contracts to enterprises identifying as Indigenous.
Wow, people taking advantage of discrimination-based government programs... who could have possibly seen this coming?
My car was stolen from my driveway. Police took a report and politicians talk. Why is this the norm?
Charlotte Kates is the coordinator of the Vancouver-headquartered Samidoun Palestinian Prisoners Solidarity Network
Economists who spoke to the Star generally agreed that global factors were primarily responsible for a spike in inflation, and that global factors are the main reasons it has slowed
“Because the border is not a Charter-free zone, it is also not an almost-anything-goes zone,” wrote Chief Justice Michael Tulloch in a 114-page decision released Friday.
"I'm tired of this same old song and dance," says Gethin B. Edward of the Ontario Court of Justice.
Can we get actual folder statistics for Drive?
Since a Linux client for Drive doesn't appear to be in the works for anytime soon, having folder statistics (ex. # items in the folder, size of data in the folder) available from the web app would be pretty damn useful for figuring out if a given folder matches an offline backup.
(Yes I know that unofficially there's the rclone thing but I tried that and got an "unusual account activity" error).
More broadly, it would be really helpful if Proton worked on base functionality for their existing products rather continuing to launch new products.
The volume and severity of police-reported crime has been on "an upward trend that began in 2015," Statistics Canada said in a report released last week.
Liberal MP Anita Vandenbeld fell short of an apology today after instigating a fracas that led two witnesses to storm out of a parliamentary committee hearing.
Probably only regrets in because it makes the Liberals look bad.
