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...
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Danielle Smith: Letting 5 year olds decide what's for dinner and when to go to bed.
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:
Please, steal this idea.
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.
