Why would you assume they're talking about a foreign election in a country that doesn't even have a Conservative or Liberal party?

Most, if not all, of the new apartment complexes in my area heavily advertise they have EV charging on site. Problem is they usually only install 1 or 2 chargers for a complex that has parking for 50-100 cars. That sort of ratio is fine anywhere else, but it's not a reliable option if you and your neighbours (who were also sold by that promise) all need to get to work in the morning.

Let's be real, those of us who can't afford housing can't afford a jacked up F350.

Somehow I got lucky and the paywall disappeared on refresh. My takeaway was that we should make the capital gains on investment real estate (I'm assuming anything other than principal residence) be taxed at a 100% inclusion rate. Part of the reason is that most of the people seeing these gains are at the age where they're starting to require a higher share of government spending while earning less from employment, so it's reasonable for them to pay closer to their share of taxes.

Not to mention a lot of people can't afford (or otherwise can't justify) the expense of a new car in general. We're just starting to see some of the very early Leafs drop below $10,000, so there is hope, but the range/dollar needs to improve a bit to make sense for most people.

I have a vague memory of seeing bagged Island Farms milk in one grocery store on Vancouver Island but it would've been over 20 years ago. I only ever knew one family that bought it, and they were complete weirdos across the board.

And when the "non-investor" landlords raise their prices high enough, they quickly find they have enough money to consider investing in a second rental property, out bidding people who have trouble saving after paying artificially inflated rent.

Yeah, as much as I think this is a stupid idea I don't think it's as bad as Walmart trying to implement Costco style receipt checkers. The less human involvement the more I'm likely to screw up and miss scanning something. Definitely by accident obviously, I wouldn't want to steal from a faceless corporation that only reluctantly employs anyone.

The grocery cartel.

They might have different laws in Ontario but in BC that's also the way to do it.

If they're on the bike they're considered a vehicle and have to cross the road in the same way a car would*.

If they're walking the bike they're treated as a pedestrian and must walk across the crosswalk

*( There are exceptions, such as multi use trails, but they are either clearly marked to both the road and trail users or they have a stop sign for cyclists)

“While it is important to go and respond to complaints about debris being on the highway and erratic drivers and those sorts of things, my people want to be far more proactive in the enforcement they do because they know they are making a difference.”

This is the kind of thing that gives people a reason to hate traffic cops. So the whole point of the highway patrol is not to patrol the highways, but to set up speed traps? I understand that speeding is inherently more dangerous than not speeding (from a physics point of view), but that shouldn't be the sole focus of traffic enforcement/safety. I'd argue erratic drivers and debris are both more important safety concerns than speeding. I for one would have a lot more respect for traffic cops if they actually moved around and dealt with bad driving where it's needed. And I'm sure mobile cops would be a lot more effective in slowing traffic too.

There's one store (I think it's Walmart but I'm not 100% sure) that will put the price per unit on everything, but in one product category you might have price/100g, price per individual item (1 cookie), price per sub-packaging (sleeve of crackers in a box), or it'll count the entire product as 1 of 1 units.
