Yes, there is some decent research on this though nothing super definitive because most research is still very local. Specially on traffic accidents, most security experts agree that having DST permanent would be beneficial.
I'm the opinion that having fewer crashes would offset the mild annoyance of being 1 hour out of sync with the US, but I'm not too strong on this stance either. We have other things that have higher return for same level of effort to implement... like better car lighting regulations that as always the US (NHTSA) is fucking motionless and we're locked to them.
I'd put all chips to eliminating RTOR but I don't expect to see that in my lifetime.
In fact, the incident was not a shooting. Later Thursday, Staff Sgt. Jeff Pilon, one of the leads of the homicide unit, told CBC there was no shooting on Berrigan Drive.
A shooting inside a townhouse is not what most people would understand as a mass shooting anyway.
Completely unrelated, congrats to CBC for using OSM instead of GoogleMaps. First time I've noticed it.
I'm honestly a bit surprised. I was betting initially that we'd keep increasing throughout 2024, so the mere fact that talks are revolving around "remaining high" instead of further increases is, to my pessimistic prediction, a good development.
This is nonsense. Wealthy people do tend to have high income, though of course most of it comes from invested wealth income and capital gains instead of wages. Taxing these is known to be effective.
I do think governments should explore taxing unrealized capital gains too, though.
Well count me in for 90% if we can get there, don't want to let perfect be the enemy of good.
Wealth moving around isn't that big of a problem really, people keep touting "wealth exodus" is a huge economic risk but rarely has that really outweighed whatever the benefits that caused it.
Anyone with two brain cells can understand that it's a wordplay on "minimum wage" and the implementation of this isn't really going to rely on the narrow definition of wages.
That wouldn't make sense, but even if that was not a joke, it would be out of scope. The legislation is likely to focus on requiring platforms to moderate content more strongly; plus maybe penalties for cyberbullying, deepfakes and such.
Being insensitive online is unlikely to ever become a crime, let alone something that can prosecuted retroactively.
Ottawa will only process a limited number of study permit applications from institutions in each province. If an application is refused because officials don't believe the applicant is genuine or has enough money to complete the study, that potential enrolment spot will be wasted.
"You're going to see decreasing numbers of African students coming to Canada, not because they're not interested. It's just because the institutions are not going to use their quotas for countries with lower visa approvals."
Woah those are some healthy looking numbers, ty
