Yeah, no sales tax, but high income tax. You're paying tax - just in a different form.

Shame is a bit strong. One might regret that a peaceful solution wasn't available or wasn't explored fully, but one doesn't need to feel shame that armed conflict occurred.

Without saying the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence, he's able to use Poilievre's unwillingness to get a security clearance with a line that DEFINATELY indicates that the Conservatives have MPs under foreign influence.

True. With PP hitching his wagon to the SOCAL-right, he will see deflation of the strength of his brand when his 'Trump-lite' playbook becomes laughable after a Dem win in the USA. So, he's frantic to force an election now while he's polling higher.

I mean, wouldn't the safest place to continue doing concerts would be Australia, where they actually have pretty stringent gun laws?

Biden: End the tipped minimum wage.

Tipping also disappears.

Servers: Not like this!

2/10. I get the impression that they couldn't afford good writers, but the production heads could afford a LOT of cocaine. The end result is a Trek-ish setting around the biggest Mary Sue trope ever written against a character that they could not ever get up to 'likeable.' Watch as Star Fleet Officers constantly break the rules, run off without communicating effectively, disregard orders, or just plainly talk-back with amazing levels of snark to superiors. Somehow they are all written up as heroes instead of all being removed from duty and forced to spend years in front of councillors for their war PTSD... or time-travel PTSD... or mirror-universe PTSD..., discipline and corrective actions for their MANY examples of insubordination, their ship broken up to figure out space-mushroom instantaneous-travel in a post-dilithium universe, remedial training once cleared to return to figure out the changes in the world around them after the jump, and even then being kept on a short-leash because they obviously can't be trusted: they don't even fully trust each other and have demonstrated time and time again that they make the wrong decision because of their own ego...

Hes' a hypocrite of the highest order; a career politician that he ranted should not entrench themselves in our institutions in his early twenties before becoming an MP himself in his mid-twenties. He welcomed the Convey into Ottawa by handing out Coffee and Donuts. He recommends putting your money into Bitcoin, and those that followed his advice saw savings disappear when the coin crashed. He rails against the CBC being government funded while he himself, is largely government supported: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJpchk3s4hU

The joke goes that you tell a politician is lying because they are moving their lips. If you want to know the truth, just pay attention to who donates. We made fun of Scheer for being in the pocket of 'big milk' and this feckless twit is receiving donations from real estate executives while claiming he's going to reverse course on our housing crisis: https://pressprogress.ca/big-real-estate-executives-among-top-donors-to-pierre-poilievres-conservatives/

A vote for the CPC is a vote for a party lead by someone that doesn't care about the people voting for him and will make years of poor decisions.

Remind them that there are exactly 0 safe CPC members now for abortion rights due to recent voting (yes, private member bills are still showing up to try and remove rights, but this time Squinty is in charge and all his members are allowed to vote 'with their conscience' now).

...it's from a odd technicality where on ol' blighty, a male can't be "raped" because of how the laws are written. Call it a peculiarity of their system or sexism, but it results in oddly sounding charges like what you see reported at least.

Well, that's very much an option. When the Educational Assistants went on strike in Ontario, there was legislation to have them end the strike. The law allowed the government to fine each worker $4,000 for each day they continued to strike. The EAs shot back with: we don't have any money, which is why we're looking for double digit increases, so we're going to continue to stike anyways.

Long story short: it was highly effective.

There's some lessons learned here and the biggest take-away is that if the law is going to hang out a union if they stop picketing while considering a deal, then resumption of any type of work until a ratified CA is off the table forevermore.
