“We’re not tasked with providing clean affordable drinking water. We can’t be there. We’re in business.”

“We’re not tasked with preventing food poisoning or affordable healthy food. We can’t be there. We’re in business.”

What other examples can we make where “business” is an excuse for acting in a sociopathic way?

Notice that they never state she was an alcoholic. They also never atate she was a “high level” alcohol user. Just that she was an alcohol user.

You can make your own assumptions about her alcohol use, but in general these rules would also excluse a “normal” alcohol user with a congenital liver failure…

In Canada, drinking more than 3 drinks per week is medically considered “high alcohol use” for a woman… (6 for a man). This limit keeps getting lower year after year

If this can prevent you from getting organ transplants, then it encourages lying to your medical doctor about your current habits… That lady was not considered alcoholic, she just used alcohol in greater amount than the limit considered acceptable by doctors.

Latest stats show that almost 4 out of 5 people has exceeds that limit at some point in their life. This woman died only because she was honest with her doctor about her alcohol use. (Note that the article says her partner was a compatible donor but the system refused to accept him because she used alcohol. It’s not about lacking donors.)

We should remove tariffs for European cars as well. Why can’t I buy a small 4wd in Canada, when they have them all over?

As much a you can, buy straight from the farmer!

Could they use a crawler with visual inspection? It’s not as good as ultrasound because it will only see surface breaking stuff if it’s big enough… But it’s still better than no inspection at all, right?

From the color… the greens???

There’s nothing more Canadian than hating the federal government.

One of them also acts as a parasite for the public’s safety.

Of course they’re registered as charity… so they can avoid paying tax…

What do they give to the community of there a charity?

Why is the solution to Canadian oligopoly always “let foreign corporations in”, instead of fostering growth of small local businesses and coops?

This also applies to telecom…

They’ll blame individuals for lighting fires, and campaign for a water market for “efficient” water usage.

It was taken down because of illicit meat sake, but the neighbor has concerns because they didn’t like to see the link between animals and meat…

but you could tell it was a little baby

If it gets us rid of some middle managers, that’s great!

“brain drain” is always used by right wing and liberalists as an excuse to reduce tax. The only people that really “drains” are the greedy crooks. Calling it “brain drain” just shows what they think of themselves…

University professors, engineers, and doctors (those who are not crooks) will not leave, they have roots at home and will not leave.

You can only stretch facts so far before it becomes an obvious lie. Not everything is a matter of personal opinion.

Not a doctor, i spent 7 years on post secondary education and i barely raked in a 5 figure student debt to pay off at ultra low interest.

I had a friend studying to become a doctor. Because of that, banks allowed him to take on huge debts and he bought a brand new fully equipped wrangler. No wonder doctors have 6 figures debt if that’s what banks allow them to take… I knew someone else in dentistry who bought a BMW.

Knowing that will make money, they take on more debt. Then they ask to raise salaries… It’s a system that attracts greedy people, the type that will move out of their home country just to make now money.

For me, it would take about 4 times my current salary to move away, because all my family and friends are here.

In fact Alberta researchers have recommended a tougher traffic light system for geothermal projects than the one currently regulating fracking. It would trigger a major evaluation of operations when 1.5 magnitudes occur and shut down the operation at 3.5 magnitude with the goal of keeping all tremors at low magnitude.

When it’s not oil-related, regulations are tougher?

Framing it as an environmental problem always implicitly assumed that people understood we need a good environment to be healthy…

People complain about bonfire restrictions in my city, but when I show my air quality sensor data and the effect it has on breathing and sports performance, they tend to be more open minded.

Here’s a couple of differences: With totality, the stars become visible again. The darkness is such that air temperature drops like at sunset. Birds stop signing, and insects start chirping. Also, i think you can see the sun’s corona. While the sun is totally blocked, you can look at it with naked eyes.

I’m not sure how much of this occurs with a 95% eclipse… I would encourage anyone to go to the nearest place to see totality. I will personally visit family living 2 hours drive away to be in the totality zone.
