That said, I think Costco is clearly the lesser of these particular evils. I have no doubt that given time they’ll turn to shit, but thus far (to my understanding) they at least pay something resembling a living wage and have reasonably consumer-friendly policies.

You’re absolutely right. Give credit where credit is due.

But eventually when the line stops going up then all of those worker/customer friendly policies will go out the window.

Oh look, two more publicly traded companies that are beholden to shareholders and single mindedly focused on profit.

Just because they’re cheaper doesnt mean they aren’t just as greedy as Loblaws

Cant wait for my $10 gift card!

Werent a bunch of the fires started by arsonists?

Are you not aware of how insanely popular PP is right now? I agree he is a piece of shit, but he is polling very high

He is almost certainly going to be the next PM at this rate, which is a scary thought…

I’m just picturing bart and milhouse running that factory

Because gov’t at any level should be using open platforms to communicate with citizens…

“Come join our roundtable discussion on… Facebook”

Thats the opposite of transparency and open participation

Plus create jobs!!! /s

As a homeowner, it wouldnt be the end of the world if my home value went to zero (exaggerating here) but it meant my young coworkers could afford to buy a place.

I still have a place to live after all

But i was told that gov’t regulations are bad and stifle innovation!!!

Whoops… I messed up my post. I meant to say that UdM is nowhere near the top of the mountain…

Edit: a bunch of my post got truncated…

Mont Royal looms over downtown at an elevation of 764 feet, and is the site of multiple universities, including a campus of Universite de Montréal

Maybe i’m misinterpreting this, but it sounds a bit misleading. The university is on the slopes of the hill, nowhere near the top

In general, this article is a bit premature. The winter cycling pilot was limited to downtown and a few other boroughs and not the whole regular network… And we also benefited from a very mild winter. Not sure if we can declare a “year round cycling success story”, just yet

That being said, this is good news and i hope to be able to use the bixi in the winter next year (i live in one of the boroughs that didnt have winter coverage)

There’s something extra sad to me about newfoundlanders having to leave for work… And nobody expresses homesickness so beautifully

No change in the weather
no change in me
I dont want to leave but
You cant live for free
You cant eat the air
And you cant drink the sea
No change in the weather
And no change in me

They will 100% blame everyone but themselves

Axe the tax!!

So stupid when people talk about how nice it is to live in AB because of no tax…
