Life sentence. Expected no less, and the precedent against white supremacism terrorists is much welcome

Interesting to get to know one in Victoria. I found a family doctor within days of searching in Vancouver, so I have been assuming this is a big city x small city disparity, but if someone has been waiting 3 years in Victoria then there's something else at play?

I shouldn’t get to say what the nut jobs believe it what they tell their children

Verbal abuse and other forms of damage parents can enact by just "saying what they believe" are a mental health hazards. We as a society came to an agreement that parents don't have the "liberty" of aggravating health issues on their kids. No one is forbidding parents from teaching kids to be creationists, but a kid suffering with gender dysphoria needs care and parents don't have the right to deny that care.

So the "(to a point)" is the crucial bit here, and it's exactly that point where this discussion is centered.

Come on CBC, that's a garbage headline

You have to be a Canadian citizen to sign the petition.

The website says that residents can sign also, not just citizens

Also this one is quite recent, worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQkzE9PsAv4

Isn’t “per cent” per 1000?

What? "per cent" is literally "per 100"?

Some writing styles even favour per cent written separately, it works the same.

If the headline is to be believed, then completely abolishing the Toronto police would have 0 impact on crime rates in Toronto.

Did you even try to read the study?

data on municipal police service expenditures from 2010 to 2021 in 20 of the most populous urban municipalities in Canada

In 2019, police services were the top operating expenditure in a majority of the municipalities. Real per capita spending on police services increased in 16 of 20 municipalities from 2010 to 2020. Marked differences are seen in spending between municipalities: in 2019, in 2020 dollars, Vancouver spent $495.84 per capita, whereas Quebec City spent $217.05 per capita.

Pretty much yes, a contraption to make sure you don't surpass your amps without worrying about having it all plugged in

If you already haven't, do check out Technology Connections videos on electrifying, he covers old home challenges quite a bit.

I was reminded of him because he talks about the possibility of making a 100A circuitry workout with some smart switching

"This is hard" is the least controversial take possible on anything, but I guess it's welcome in the times of demagogues and eternal outrage.

they definitely aren’t the only problem

Who's even claiming they are, though

Thankfully in Vancouver public transit is quite good, though intercity options aren't that great. If only conservatives weren't allergic to bike lanes... the city has the potential for great transportation projects. Mass transit is still in its infancy here, it needs to grow.

that’d be a very costly mistake

What is the cost here, really? I'm not saying to toss his books in the fire, by all means more people should read them. I'm talking about the man, not his works. Just leave the man writing his books and stop trying to get his opinions on Greenpeace, anthropology, politics or "wokeness".

This extended throughout the Q&A period, when a number of people asked him, in vain, to name something positive they or the government could do, some tiny example of something that had gone right, or could. It became, for me, a sad act.

The man is just too curmudgeon to be helpful at this point, just forget about him already.

About as optimistic that this part is not going to be cancelled halfway through or eventually rolled back 🤷‍♂️

always has been 🧑‍🚀🔫

Maybe you have access to some privileged information, or by "the plans" you mean this one piece of legislation specifically.

But I'm pretty sure the forces behind this movement have "the plan" of expanding this to universal access. I wouldn't expect a single piece of legislation to necessarily include the whole ten-year rollout of the program, but start with just one segment.

Absolutely start with seniors, young kids, and the disabled.

And is this not what's happening? Are they saying that "taxpayers between 18 and 65" will never be included?

Indeed, they are a direct instrument to manipulate green premiums.
