Poilievre touts anti-vaccine mandate bill while promising 'bodily autonomy' for all Canadians

  • Except women who want to have abortions can’t say that quiet part out loud.

    Or transgender care oopsie no bodily autonomy there either.

    • 'Fed up' with decline of French, Quebec seeks tuition hike for out-of-province students at English universities

  • My question is how does this make economic sense.

    In Ontario my undergrad degree costs about 6k a year now. It cost 4k a year when I took it.

    How can the Province justify doubling the fees? Won’t that make people not want to go there and select somewhere else instead causing a reduction in the student population?

    I don’t understand how this isolationism thing will play out long term unless they encourage French-speaking Quebecois to have more babies (and they already do this) or unless they accept a lot more immigration from French speaking countries. Maybe they are doing this? I don’t know happy to be informed.

    I don’t understand how Quebec looks at other extremely isolationist cultures where the population is declining and there’s going to be some sort of crisis and goes “oh yeah, that’s what we want.”

  • She’s such a fucking ghoul.

    I don’t believe for a second that a) this won’t be used to invest in oil and gas b) she won’t kick the management of this to her buddies’ private companies so she can benefit personally.

    Remember, the conservatives always want to privatize public services and assets to benefit their friends. Reference: GREENBELT.

  • I agree, but the path forward to get everyone else on board with socialized housing is pretty bleak. We can walk and chew gum at the same time, but we’re having issues hanging onto our socialized healthcare.

    I think we also need to re-think how we work and good work opportunities for people. We’re supposedly in a housing crisis but there is more than enough land in Canada. We need to disperse more people away from huge cities (and the green belt) in my opinion. There needs to be good opportunity elsewhere. I have no clue how we can do that outside of UBI or something.

    The extreme concentration of wealth is just accelerating and hurting everyone except the fantastically wealthy.

  • When it pops most people still won’t have money (because recession) and corporations will scoop in and buy up all the assets oh boy!

  • I’ve been in this industry for 10+ years under both Liberal and Conservative governments - the contracts are not dependent on what government is in power.

    In fact, the IBM Phoenix contract - the poster boy for one of the most wasteful IT contracts ever - was awarded in 2011 when Harper was in power.

  • What is wrong with people? Who taught them to believe that this behaviour is acceptable?

    There are lots of politicians I don’t like. I see many out at events in Ottawa. And I… go about my day and leave them alone.
