The thing that frustrates me is my dad votes conservative, they underfund things and withheld specific health funding while attacking the rights of nurses, then he complains it takes forever to see a doctor and flies to Mexico and pays there.
Except his children can’t just fly to Mexico, we’re stuck with it.
It’s so frustrating that they’re allowed to withhold this funding while shelling out hundreds of millions to private companies to sell beer and liquor at gas stations.
I went into superstore and the produce and meat sections were awful.
All the produce was near expiry, the potatoes had eyes growing and were soft, the onions had holes in them. I just left, I couldn’t pay those prices for produce with days left on their life.
Metro was immediately better.
I do miss their old old cups with the wrinkly pull up things. They worked better if you punched them down on car trips.
I hate that people sue over this kind of thing, especially the lack of notice and discrimination after literally working with them for years.
Please stop using discrimination as a cudgel because it leaves real discrimination victims trivialized, vulneable, and ignored.
That’s sensible to me.
If you need an anti whistleblowing law, that’s a red flag.
I don’t agree entirely with animal rights activists, but the cases where criminal charges have been laid to me says this kind of activism does serve society.
And this law sounds so open to abuse that it could effectively silence any whistleblowing in the entire industry. Like it or not, whistleblowing is a necessary function to keep the economy functioning fairly.
“All of my proposals are constitutional,” Poilievre said. “We will make them constitutional”
…but Trudeau is the government overreach guy, right CPC?
This is frustrating.
The free market should be increasing wages not enjoying subsidized wages for below the legal market rate.
I’m not racist but this is why people are very upset about immigration numbers.
“For example, Joh2Stone Inc. – the operator of several McDonald’s Corp. franchises in Eastern Ontario – was approved in the fourth quarter to fill 78 food-service roles. Many Tim Hortons franchises also received approvals,” read part of The Globe and Mail’s report.
Shame on them, this is disgusting.
There were also some industries – accommodation and food services – that were temporarily permitted to hire up to 30% of their staff through the low-wage stream of the TFW program, up from a previous 10% cap. Most of the other industries were permanently bumped up to 20%, according to the report.
In March, the federal government announced it is limiting the use of the TFW program to those who absolutely cannot find Canadians who can fill job openings. Effective May 1, employers will need to explore every option before applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIA). This includes recruiting asylum seekers with valid work permits here in Canada.
That’s just trading one group of artificially cheap labour for another.
Why don’t we have corporations pushing for pharmacare so they don’t have to pay for them and reduce cost per employee? It’s a competitive advantage for employers if done right.
This is what frustrates me
Before reading the budget: it’s an inflammatory inflationary budget (except mathematically, it isn’t)
After the details are out: it’s too much spending! Plus they throw in some straight out lies about the pharmacare.
Why the fuck would anyone support this clown? If he was honest I could understand it, if he actually said anything of substance I could understand it. But it’s just “that’s bad” with no elaboration and clear as day lies.
Wake me up when Pollievre, the former god damn finance critic, actually says something worth listening to.
Oh and fuck the press for even airing the clips of Pollievre lying. They should be censured for that. Even CBC is just clips of Pierre so they look balanced.
I need to spend time on this, but this hits so many things I’ve been complaining about, now I only wish the programs didn’t game so long to start, it’s long enough the conservatives will take credit and say look how good we are.
Pagliuca explained she’s using her RRSPs to cover the rest of her rent, but said a good portion of that is getting taxed.
That is how the RRSP is designed to work. She got all those taxes refunded for decades so now she can pay a lower taxable amount than she would have earlier.
And if she’s using it for $500 a month, the taxes on that are going to be very low, not a “good portion”.
the Bank of Canada says lack of competition and mismatched job skills are hurting the economy.
I’ve been saying this for years. Canadian investors have no grit and we only invest in the oligopoly forces. Of course we’re not productive, there’s no demand from our markets to be productive.
Our wages are low and we ship all our smartest people to work in the US with our greedy shitty corporate culture. I know because I’ve been working for US companies, they pay triple domestic wages. When I apply for Canadian jobs they talk about those wages being unfair and unsustainable, but clearly they are sustainable, just not with their goals.
If I were PM I would steamroll our big corps and be fucking loud about it. I’d even let American companies in to compete for telcoms and banking so our industries would have to use their market advantage to hustle.
That’s how I feel too.
I don’t like the federal government pretending to be provincial and the provincial governments blaming them for everything.
If the premiers don’t want to run provinces, then dissolve the provinces.
This should be handled by the provinces.
Watching a whale barf and then have to swim around in a cloud of its own vomit made me never want to go there again.
A lot of attention on this and not on the fact Pollievre just said trans women shouldn’t be able to use women’s washrooms and change rooms.
How do I actually pronounce archipelago?
I see it in text but I’ve never heard a human say it out loud.
Is it soft like Archie, or hard like arch? Is “Lago” like Lago or Lego?
I just assumed it was because of the boycotts and they were sitting out for longer
