  • My grandma had a padded pink vinyl toilet seat that matched the Barbie and the toilet paper. When you sat on it it slowly squished all the air out. It was an awful feeling.

  • Are you old enough to remember those Barbie dolls that old ladies used to crochet a dress for so you could stand Barbie up in a roll of toilet paper and the dress would get pulled down over it? And the toilet paper was light pink?

  • Get off my lawn.

  • Remember how people used to collect tiny spoons? This is like that. Now it's towels that say "Fuck off kid, mommy's getting plastered" Bonus points if you hang it on a shitty wooden ladder.

  • I didn't think you were supposed to use the decorative towels?

  • Security screw with the oval drive.

  • You didn't vote for the Governor General either.

  • Dude, politics is a system that society has created to prevent change. When you get that, the western system of governance makes more sense.

  • You're looking at it from the wrong side. Imagine a politician saying, "we're starting a new tax, 20% of your income". You ask why, what's it for and he says "everything!" how keen are you for that?

    All taxes were created one at a time and sold to people individually. Politicians said "we need money for x, we need to tax y to pay for it". Run for office on a platform of eliminating all taxes with your omnibus tax reforms and we'll see how it goes.

  • I think because when a tax is getting implemented the people want to know exactly why they pay it and what it's for.

    Here we have school boards that manage a very large area of many schools. The taxes of many municipalities pool to fund many schools. These tax systems are old and probably very hard to change. I'm sure there are better ways to do things but the political might to change the system isn't there.

  • I'm all for tax reform, but people need to understand what taxes pay for what stuff. I'm sure municipalities would like a different way to generate revenue than property taxes as well.

    In Canada we like "sin" taxes on bad for you things. The lottery funds schools, liquor taxes fund health care for example.

  • I want to pay and gladly will for community enrichment,

    Most people say this and I agree. And then the comment under you is complaining about paying property taxes which directly pay for these things you'd like to see funded.

  • This is such a stupid thread.

  • It wasn't ever good. You suffer from false nostalgia.

  • Making your national identity a shitty coffee shop is stupid. Labatts Blue is a better cultural icon, let's nationalize that and purchase it from InBev.

  • Here's my sign.

  • The part about wrapping around the treads between the button and shirt is to give space for the button hole side and to protect the threads from wearing against the button hole and provide longevity to the repair.
