Maybe I misunderstood your previous comment, because I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say here.
Are you saying my version of the title would have been fine without the “and” I added? I’m struggling to understand what you’re taking issue with.
You’re nitpicking. It’s not a direct quote anyways; it’s already paraphrased. They had no issue editorializing “them” to “companies”, so adding an implied “and” wouldn’t be any worse than that.
Yeah, I agree, but you still have to be able to read between the lines to grock what it’s saying. They left out the more important explicit part.
“Any federally regulated company, it’s a win for them at this point,” Boucher told Reuters in his first interview since the Thursday lockout. “This is disastrous for labour, for workers.”
That title is a bit of a misrepresentation of the union leader’s position. It should have read:
Canadian rail decision is a win for companies; disastrous for labour, and for workers, union leader says.
Hey asshats, remember when this exact thing happened in the US and the result of binding arbitration was that safety was undermined? I’ll bet the people of East Palestine remember.
Let’s not make the same mistakes. Give the teamsters their damned fatigue protections, and pay them a good living wage.
I tried to change at one point, and for quite a while I did, but I eventually realized that I enjoy reading more when dog earing the pages. It’s like the book leaves it’s mark on me, and I leave mine on it.
This might not be am option or helpful for everyone, but I’ve moved cities since I got my current phone number. Now I know if it’s from my own area code, it’s almost certainly spam. And since pretty much everyone has country-wide free long distance calling nowadays, long distance charges don’t really matter.
“We are a legal family-run business.”
Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s moral or that it should be happening at all. Hunting tourism is gross.
I think a blended model is a good solution. In Ontario, LCBO’s selection has gone downhill over the last 10 years. They’ve gotten complacent because they haven’t had to worry about competition. They’ve still got a huge amount of purchasing power because of the sheer volume, though, so they should be able to anchor prices against excessive profit gouging.
It’ll be harder for corner stores and boutiques to compete on price, but they’re also much more able to specialize and serve niche markets.
This is basically the same system Quebec has had for years, and it always seemed to work well there.
Presumably you meant: “Bribe someone for 1/1000th the cost.”
One of the issues is that we have an actual leftist party that has legitimate chances, so the vote gets split. The liberals’ position as the defacto ABC (anything but conservative) party is failing due to a series of blunders and scandals.
The liberals could have fixed this by properly following through with their electoral reform promise instead of harpooning their own initiative, but because of their bad faith attempt to keep power, we might now get Polievre.
I think you might have misunderstood their comment.
That’s fair. Maybe I’m putting too much of the systemic problems at her feet, when in fact I’m more disappointed in almost all of our leadership. And you’re right, it’s better than nothing.
“it’s a bit divisive”
“I’ll piss off some of my voters either way, so best not to take a principled stance.” It’s disappointing she won’t denounce genocide, but not particularly surprising.
It’s postmedia, so that tracks. A good portion of their titles make for tough rounds of Beaverton-or-not.
It’s shameful we allow the republican propaganda arm to operate with impunity here.
But how will the oil execs afford their next yacht? :( And think about all the yacht makers that are going to go out of business.
So the number of doctors relative to population grew by 1.7% but average patient encounters dropped 3.7%? That doesn’t exactly add up.
Maybe there’s been a drop in the amount of care needed, but I kinda doubt it. One possible explanation is that people are so disillusioned with our healthcare system that they’re seeking other forms of treatment, either out of province or through alternative (pseudoscience) medicine or just not going at all.
It was quite a long time ago, so the pain has long since faded, but thank you for the kind words. (:
And to the rest of your comment, I 100% agree.
I also think this is an important discussion that Canadians need to be having.
It also includes a man whose application “hearing loss,” and whose brother says he was “basically put to death.”
My grandmother was a painter and lost her vision. She was no longer able to do what she loved. In her last several years, every time we’d celebrate her birthday, she’d wonder why she was still alive. You can’t look at MAiD requests simply, because every person has unique reasons that keep them going. Some people can bounce back from severe loss, and some cannot, or choose not to.
While I agree with a lot of points the article is making, I think we need to be calling for more critical review of MAiD applications, and increased oversight, not an outright reversal of the program. Those whom are applying due to lack of social safety nets need to be denied, and, most importantly, helped to find the resources required for them to be able to live a dignified and meaningful life if they so wish.
Out of curiosity, what would stop these unions from just striking illegally anyways? Seems like at some point, it’ll be the only way forward if these co’s keep turning to binding arbitration.
