Too simplistic to be cynical, just naive.

Pretty naive take on how governments work.

Could just break it up into chapters or something, pretty easy to split a pdf.

You can literally just feed the images into chat gpt at this point.

While on one hand I hope that people realize this is literally their government being purchased by a single rich guy and push back... I know they're far too stupid for that.

There may be individual products that have gone down in price like for example eggs may have returned to more normal pricing from their highs, but that index tracks a standardized set of fairly normal products that people buy regularly and on average the whole shopping bill has gone up every single month.

So yes, they are delulu.

Even the US government is saying consumer prices aren't going down.

The percentage they're going up each month has gone down from the inflation bubble we had just recently, but they have still gone up in price every single month for the last 7 years or so.

Should be ctrl shift + t

Is there two shortcuts for this?

I have an EV, and I agree we don't need this incentive anymore.

I think they took the land, just like everyone else has been taking land for all of human history, and applying modern government concepts to something that happened a few hundred years ago is stupid.

We can try to prevent future injustices, we can fix wrongs that occurred in the lifetimes of people who are alive (like reparations for residential schools) but trying to go back and change things for anything done prior to anyone alive existing is stupid.

So the cutoff is "is anyone still alive that it directly happened to" and descendents do not count.

The party of fiscal responsibility ya'll

They say it will be caught up to with growth, which they've predicted to be above 5% per year... no way that happens, major banks are predicting sub 2% growth.

 

He stands by the party member who made derogatory comments about indigenous and Muslim people.

Please judge him and find him wanting.

 

The title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like it's a one time payment. It's very different, he's promising to exempt up to $3000 a month towards your housing costs from income taxes. Starting at $1500 a month in 2026 and going up $500 a year for 3 more years. At the max, it would be a $36,000 a year tax deduction which is absolutely massive, that's half of the average family income.

Great idea? It's complicated, but probably not a good idea.

When you make something "cheaper" for everyone like this in a supply constrained market, all that does is drive up the prices of rents and housing sale prices since people can now use that freed up money to pay more for those.

Also, his plan to pay for this multi-billion dollar plan is:

“Obviously, we need to take a look at this reckless spending that David Eby has put in place in terms of how to sort of rein in some of that spending,” said Rustad.

So that's not really "fiscally conservative" at all.

 

This asshole is literally a conspiracy theorist. He says it was about controlling the population, not stopping the spread of the virus.

Which countries (and even provinces) had the fewest covid deaths per capita? Oh.. the ones with the highest vaccination rates.

Everyone with a brain knows vaccines reduce illness, that's why we have the fucking things.

Surprise surprise, a Conservative who's got a past full of hate.

 

This is the true Canada, open to all ideas. Let's keep it this way.

 

Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.

 

Extremely unfortunate situation.
