Probably because when you are having trouble feeding and housing yourself, a fraction of a percent of the population that isn't you doesn't matter. There are more people dying yearly because of failed Liberal+NDP policies than there are trans youth in total.

The NDP should be seeing massive gains in a situation like this but unfortunately they made a deal with the devil that they seem hellbent on keeping, so what do you expect the majority of people to do? Vote Green and Bloc?

Current releases of AutoCAD, Revit and Solidworks.

I'd rather cut out the middle man and do it myself than have government bureaucrats siphon off money deciding who's worthy and who's not

My bad, it was messing up and I didn't think it was going through

I meant in more of a way that we should hold those responsible for causing accidents before using tax money if it's reasonable to do so.

Ex. If a drunk driver hurts someone, make the drunk driver personally liable for payments until they are bankrupt before using tax dollars to fill the gap. Or if someone gets hurt at work, back the company responsible until it is bankrupt, and make the injured party the #1 creditor during bankruptcy proceedings before using tax dollars.

In a world where some consider mean words and minor action as violent, yes it was.

Failing and not putting forth adequate effort are two very different things and is something discussed thoroughly in the court ruling.

If you had read my comment in it's entirety you'd have seen that I'm not opposed to paying for things such as random accidents. But something like Type 2 Diabetes isn't a random accident and is entirely preventable by the vast majority of people who have it.

I never said I was opposed to helping others, but I see no reason why I should help people who aren't willing to put forth some effort to help themselves

Lol, I know people that live in the area and they've said it wasn't worse than what happens during major sporting events.

The fact that I make a personal effort to not be a burden on this system yet I have to pay for people who purposely make themselves burdens.

Quite honestly, I don't mind paying for certain accidents and injuries (those that are the result of criminal or civil liability should be paid for by the liable party not the taxpayer) and general aging, but when someone spends a few decades eating themselves into Type 2 diabetes I fail to see why the taxpayer should be on the hook for their medication or the results of them not having medication.

I eagerly await the details, because if it's only diabetes and birth control that's pretty disappointing, especially considering those are two issues that are largely (but not entirely) the product of an unhealthy life style.

It'd be nice if the government encouraged healthy living more than it encouragedmedicating unhealthy living.

Yes, because all the neurons the Liberals and NDP have been devoting to policy have been working correctly. People love massively increased grocery and housing costs, and the massive increase in rate as well!

If it wasn't illegal then the government wouldn't have lost the court case.

Did you bother reading the ruling? The refusal of the city / province to act doesn't equate to the inability of them to control the situation. The court definitely did account for that part.

Funny, this Stats Canada data shows rates going up, not down.

Which other protests ended with the federal government illegally using the Emergency Act?

According to the courts it did not meet the standard of violence required.

The statement kinda loses it's impact once you realize it's coming from a leader who illegally broke up a protest against himself and his government

This is effectively more vote buying targeted at Atlantic Canada (and maybe Quebec), because no other rural areas with enough seats to make a difference are going to vote Liberal regardless of what happens
