If you think about it the other way around, it's pretty fucking scary though. Loblaws is extracting the equivalent of $47 in raw profits from every man, woman, and child in the entire country.

And they want permission to store intermediate-level nuclear waste there.

Yeah, we're not managing our impact on the environment, so our environment is going to manage us. It's already happening in Asia.

Heh. After Dad died, my Mom shacked up with a guy we met while Dad was in the hospital. He went to the same high school as me, the same year I did. He's lazy, broke, bipolar and unmedicated by choice - and a rabid far-right conspiracy theorist... So technically, she's supporting an adult child.

I'm doing just fine, thanks. :D

I actually talked to my GF about fucking off from Canada in the next 5 years... Not because we can't afford it, but because I'm close to retirement, and I'm sick of working for a living.

Yeah, the only people I know who have permanently left Canada had some tax-related issues they didn't want to deal with, so moved to Central America. The only other Canadians I know who moved to Europe were people who came from Europe, had their kids here, then went back.

And let's not forget their famous ignorance of world geography, and their inability to find the USA on an unlabelled map. "Who wants to do a road trip to Europe?" "Which country is Africa again?"

I don't think these management types understand what a protest is. It's meant to be uncomfortable. It sure as shit isn't a luxury vacation for those doing the protesting in the tents, especially with the near-0c temperatures and rain.

If you don't like people in tents, consider what it's like to be living in Gaza right now.

Go check out the 5 year chart before listening to any of the bullshit from this asshole:

They said that when the Avro Arrow was scrapped. There's been at least 6 more fighter jets built since then!

Time to put voiceovers of Pierre chanting 'axe the tax' on video of homes burning to the ground, orange air, and terrified people driving down a road with forest fires raging on both sides.

Alternately, greedy and short-sighted.

There's a metric fuckload of money to be made before the shit really hits the fan. What these shitheads don't realize is that money won't save them once you can't breathe the air, drink the water, or grow the food.

meeting NATO commitments for 30 years would have no discernible effect compared to that

I think that if all NATO members had met or exceeded their obligations, there would have been an obscene amount of weapons to supply Ukraine with, within weeks of the start of Russia's invasion, and it likely would have been over immediately. As it stands right now, nobody has a meaningful stockpile. Of that stockpile, there's no capacity to replace it. In terms of building new capacity, it would take years -- because the process and equipment are so specialized that it can't be hammered together in a weekend, a month, or probably even a year.

When I was a kid, we had a cottage in the forest. My uncle owned about a 1km stretch of river-front property that he got for nearly nothing. The idea was to go there to get away from everyone in the city and just be a family. If you wanted to be social, you went into town or the local park.

Duh. I'm very much in the top 5% of annual wage earners in the country, and there's no way I could afford a decent cottage (i.e., where I can't see or hear my neighbours).

Quebec has a carbon tax, and because they do, they are exempt from the federal carbon tax program. Ontario used to be exempt, since they had a cap-and-trade system that was compatible with Quebec's -- but Dug the Thug cancelled it.

Most Ukrainians would rather live in Russia than die in a fucking trench

Dying in a trench seems way more likely under Russian rule.

Source: The half a million Russians fertilizing sunflowers on Ukrainian soil... so far.

Yes, cell towers should all be nationalized, then anyone can compete on service and price, not on coverage. Instantly everyone gets better coverage in more places, with more bandwidth because they can get service from any tower. Instantly, prices hit rock bottom because there's no barrier to entry.

Considering forest fires started in March this year, from hot-spots left over from last year's record-shattering forest fires...

"Unless there is a drastic change over the summer" is going to be videos of PP saying 'axe the tax' overlaid with videos of people escaping the flames and their homes burned to the ground.

Second highest paid parliamentarians in the world, folks.
