Let them say with a straight face that they're not using ClearView AI (or something similar) to identify protesters who aren't committing any crimes, then I might have an ounce of sympathy.

Go to your local restaurant supply place and go buy the 1 gallon jug instead for half the price.

Wow, this sounds just like a Conservative rant about how dirty and evil and bad cities are, written to be consumed by folks from the burbs who haven't been downtown for 25+ years.

What? NatPo is owned by an American hedge fund? Quelle surprise.

Uh, first, Doug Ford was never mayor. It was his shithead junkie brother.

Second, Ontario can order Toronto to remove them, but Toronto can refuse or take them to court. I doubt the MTO is going to send a crew into downtown Toronto -- it's not their turf.

Third, if Ontario contracts a third party to do the work, they'd be setting themselves up for getting named in a lawsuit.

This whole thing is a clusterfuck, and Thuggie needs to get a new hobby.

Man, I can't wait until government schmuck decides that the stock I bought that dropped 80% over the course of the pandemic is 'unfair' and I should be compensated. Absolutely utter bullshit.

If their gamble on real estate didn't work out, take the hit, sell at a loss, and learn your lesson.

No fucking wonder people can't buy a starter home anymore.

It's a tough job, and it should be paid well. When I was a kid, my brother in law was a postie, and made a decent living. He had a house, a nice car, and could take two vacations a year. Nobody can afford that shit, even unionized.

And remember -- a rising tide lifts all boats -- if they get a good deal, it makes it easier for others to get a better deal.

The seaway union negotiated hard, and got a very good increase, better benefits, and management agreed to increase their workforce so there was less overtime. It cost management tens of millions in losses that it didn't need to lose.

And kids don't want to eat their vegetables or go to bed on time... Sometimes people need to be encouraged to do the thing they don't want to do, but is only in their best interest.

The stupidest part of this whole thing is now easy it would be to set up in a way that people could accept...

Levy a small carbon tax, nation wide, on all energy, for all users. The carbon tax goes into a fund, which is re-distributed to encourage the right behaviour:

• Improve / expand public transit
• Fund energy-efficiency retrofits
• Subsidize green power initiatives
• Rebates on zero-emission transport like electric bikes, and compact electric cars
• Retrain existing oil & gas industry workers to install/maintain electric infrastructure
• Cash for Clunkers to get polluting vehicles off the road
• Build new, ultra-energy efficient homes based on an improved building code
• Tax rebates to everyone in the lowest tax brackets.

Please, steal this idea.

Heh. After Dad died, my Mom shacked up with a guy we met while Dad was in the hospital. He went to the same high school as me, the same year I did. He's lazy, broke, bipolar and unmedicated by choice - and a rabid far-right conspiracy theorist... So technically, she's supporting an adult child.

I'm doing just fine, thanks. :D

Uh, who says he's going to inherit anything? Election hasn't happened yet, and there's still lots of opportunities for him to expose himself as a fascist.

Danielle Smith: Letting 5 year olds decide what's for dinner and when to go to bed.

Yes... Let's re-open this bucket of bullshit. When they left for Ottawa, they had a written declaration and were planning on overthrowing the democratically elected government with some ridiculously ignorant idea for dissolving parliament and placing themselves in control.

This is too stupid to not be plain old grift.

Ask yourself... If Putin was President of America and wanted to destroy 200 years of progress, who would he put in charge of the various departments... And then this all makes sense.

Keep voting against your own interests, and keep reaping the rewards, Alberta!

Then their margins must be razor thin... Executive compensation really low...

Annnnnnd a quick check of their annual reports demonstrates that they are quite literally full of shit.

And when making hundreds of billions of dollars off of the 'woke' crowd that subscribes to the 'building a better tomorrow' ideal, turning into an ignorant and unrepentant fascist piece of shit is a good way to erode market share for free, if you exclude the $46 Billion USD social media site purchase, which is now worth essentially nothing.

The hypocrisy is what gets me... Yeah, axe the tax... But let the forests keep burning, the rain keep flooding, the heat keep broiling people and droughts starving us...

It's not rocket surgery... Make the thing that is bad for us more expensive, and use that money to make things that are good for us LESS expensive. I still don't know why there isn't a tax on gasoline and diesel and natural gas that doesn't DIRECTLY fund public transit...

It worked for the orange ape down south, so why not give it a try?

I'd argue that Russia harms more Ukrainians. And that failing to humble Russia will hurt more Europeans.

Just be happy you don't know... because it's undoubtedly dumb shit, and move along. :)
