Yes!

That's called Eugenics.

So all of them?

I agree with you on their point being conspiratorial.

Egypt also has a very repressive government and has the worst possible CIVICUS rating of "closed".

They have cooperated with Israel around their genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine too.

They are neither humane nor reasonable in their treatment of protestors, including Canadians.

Law enforcement are the ones breaking the law, being violent, and terrorizing communities right now.

Regardless of whether this was law enforcement or impersonators, we must start recognizing law enforcement as the state's apparatuses for violence that it is.

The problem is not people pretending to be cops, it IS cops. Both historically and today.

Some 50 union members refused to leave the garage as of 6 a.m. after management threatened to dock a half day’s pay if they didn’t attend an “employee appreciation barbecue” next week. Sources in the union say the threat was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” amid budget cuts and worsening labour conditions.

Canadian individuals who own U.S. securities directly are subject to a 15-per-cent withholding tax rate under the current treaty, reduced from the statutory rate of 30 per cent. If section 899 were to become law, the withholding rate could ultimately rise to 50 per cent.

Ian Bragg, vice-president of research and statistics at the Securities and Investment Management Association, said that the current draft of the legislation could cost Canadian investors more than $81-billion in additional taxes over seven years.

“These measures would penalize ordinary Canadians saving for retirement, education, or other long-term goals, and create unnecessary uncertainty in the market,” Mr. Bragg said in an e-mailed statement. “It’s critical that this issue be addressed at the highest levels of Canada-U.S. trade discussions to protect the savings and financial security of millions of Canadians.”

Max Reed, a cross-border tax lawyer and principal of Polaris Tax Counsel in Vancouver, said if the bill is enacted, section 899 would “rupture” the Canada-U.S. tax relationship the same way that Trump‘s tariffs have impaired the Canada-U.S trade relationship.

“The results would be significant,” Mr. Reed said in an online post to clients. “Virtually all cross-border planning would be turned on its head.”

The tax bill also removes long-standing tax exemptions for governments and related entities from targeted companies. That means organizations such as the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board and First Nation communities could be required to pay tax.

For Canada’s multinational companies with operations in the U.S., the proposed tax changes will place them at a competitive disadvantage to domestic U.S. companies and to subsidiaries of other foreign multinationals that don’t have similar discriminatory taxes, said Ron Nobrega, a tax partner at Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP in Toronto.

Priceless.

No evidence that cigarettes are unhealthy, says cigarette manufacturer.

They're better than other democrats I've seen but it's clear that Democrats will not fix this. Democrats have not only been complicit, but many are actively supporting Trump. Another impeachment attempt is a waste of effort.

The dems are appropriating and sucking energy away from protests so they can try to get elected. We do not have the time to wait around for an election. Project 2025 will be complete by then.

Invest in public transit, HSR connecting southern Ontario cities, and rezone/build bikeable/walkable neighbourhoods with increased density. Bonus for rent control and affordable non-market housing. Basically do the opposite of Ford's attempt to turn Ontario into one big 401.

This is the way.

/s <- you dropped this

That's a reasonable thing to say, but not to trans people who are being actively persecuted by the US government. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be in that situation and it is the responsibility of society to stand up for trans people.

Your local grocery store wherever possible.

I thought that was Mr. Bean for a sec. No disrespect to Mr. Bean.
