YSK que ton vote aide à financer le parti

Source: https://www.electionsquebec.qc.ca/comprendre/comprendre-le-vote/pourquoi-voter/

Voter, c’est aussi un soutien financier

En votant pour une candidate ou un candidat, ou encore pour un parti politique qui rejoint vos valeurs et vos idées, vous encouragez la personne qui défend vos intérêts.

Votre vote a une valeur financière. Lorsqu’une candidate ou un candidat est élu ou obtient au moins 15 % des votes, la moitié de ses dépenses électorales sont remboursées à sa représentante officielle ou à son représentant officiel. Une aide financière annuelle est également accordée aux partis politiques en fonction du nombre de votes qu’ils ont obtenus lors de la plus récente élection générale provinciale.

Quelques votes peuvent faire la différence pour le candidat ou le parti que vous choisissez d’appuyer.

What happened to japanese mid sized cruisers?

I've been looking to get a new japanese cruiser around 1300 cc to replace my machine that is getting old, but there doesnt seem to be any more being produced today. All brands seem to have stopped making them around 10 years ago or longer.

Right now theres only the Kawasaki Vulcan 900, the Honda rebel 1100, the Honda Fury 1300... and thats pretty much. After that it jumps right to the Vulcan 1700.

What happened to the japanese mid size cruisers? Nobody rides long distance on highways anymore?

Is A&W Canadian?

Just found out this Wikipedia article where it says its american: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_Restaurants

But then in there there is a link to this other article where it says that A&W Canada is actually a separate Canadian company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_(Canada)

Kind of confusing to be honest but if I understood correctly, it seems like buying in there is not supporting the americans, am I right?

The Black Panthers vs. ICE in America - CBC News: The National

For Radio-Canada/Rad, journalist Julia Pagé and director Frédéric Lacelle traveled to Philadelphia to meet with members of a group that called itself the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Armed with AK-47s, party members patrol their neighbourhood to defend citizens against police violence.

The group has since changed its name to the Black Lion Party for International Solidarity.

Lawrence: Trump wants us to talk about Jimmy Kimmel. So we'll talk about Trump & Jeffrey Epstein

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell describes how the British government, “in its idiotic attempt to co-opt Donald Trump through flattery, has put their King in the center of the Epstein scandal with Donald Trump sitting at the table” but not former Ambassador Peter Mandelson or Prince Andrew.

Dishwasher detergent in powder in Quebec?

Does anybody know of any dishwasher detergent made in Canada or anywhere but the US that can be bought in the province of Quebec?

YSK that the Finish detergent sold in QC is most likely made in the US

I found in the shelves a box of the Finish brand but it didnt say where it was made, it just said "imported by Reckitt".

Looking for information about Reckitt I found that is an European brand BUT according to this page:

https://homegeargeek.com/where-is-finish-dishwasher-detergent-made/

"Another important manufacturing hub for Finish dishwasher detergent is in the United States. With a growing market in North America, the brand established a production facility in Chesapeake, Virginia. This U.S. manufacturing plant caters not only to domestic demand but also exports its products to other countries across the Americas."

At the end I didnt find a Canadian detergent in powder, but I found one in tablets from a brand named "TruEarth" and another one from the "Unscented Company". That will have to do until I can find one in powder.

Edit: Thank you all for the recommendations, I will let you know how the truearth tablets work for me and after that I will probably give a try to nellies :)

Trump déclare la guerre commerciale, Ottawa monte aux barricades

Des dizaines de millions de Canadiens, d'un océan à l'autre, sont unis. [...] Il est temps de choisir des produits canadiens, de soutenir les entreprises canadiennes, de soutenir nos agriculteurs, nos producteurs, nos travailleurs, nos entrepreneurs, nos artistes.

Justin Trudeau

Spoiler alert: When did you start to trust Johnny? If you never did, why?

Spoiler alert, last warning:

For me it was after finishing the Voodo boys questline and one of my favorite parts in the game, when V just collapsed, Johnny took care of it saving our ass and then gave V his dog tag saying he will go down if the situation ever calls for it.

After saving me, I even told him I would take a bullet for him.

But seeing this scene again in a youtube video made me realize maybe I was a bit naive back then. When V wakes up and the pills are in his hand, I thought the 1st time playing the game "yeah its normal, Johnny took them to bring me to a safe place". The 2nd time watching the video, I thought "wait a minute... maybe he was trying to continue taking them to stay in control forever?".

This is why I love this game...

Des profs prêts à travailler sont ignorés par les centres de services scolaires

Il manque plus de 8000 enseignants dans le réseau scolaire et le ministre de l’Éducation est incapable de garantir qu’il y aura un « adulte » par classe à la rentrée. Pourtant, des professeurs prêts à s’atteler à la tâche attendent encore, avec impatience, que leur centre de services scolaire leur propose enfin un emploi.

La seule chose que je comprends de cette histoire c'est que M. Drainville est vraiment inutile.
