Damn I missed the notification for this, and now the comment is deleted. Even though mine was a rhetorical question I was still morbidly curious what sort of garbage this troll was consuming.

What news websites would you recommend for Canadian news that have not received government funding?

To the great surprise of no one.

Remember this is the man who, during the Covid pandemic, was handed a softball question from a reporter “What do you say to Americans who are scared… millions who are scared right now?” Basically set him up to provide a reassuring, caring response, to sound presidential for once in his life.

Except his response was: “I say that you’re a terrible reporter,” Trump snapped aggressively. “That’s what I say. I think that’s a very nasty question. You’re doing sensationalism.”

He’s a hateful, divisive, incompetent person who consistently reminds us how terrible humans being can be.

Exactly. Does anyone remember how our healthcare system was falling apart during and after COVID? One would think that it would be an election priority, and yet during the 2022 campaign it was all about language issues.

The sad thing is that it was extremely effective, and people like the poster I replied to are exactly the reason. Distract people with inflammatory divisive politics, and let the real problems fester and rot.

I do not care a bit if my doctor or my kids doctor speaks French. I just want to see a doctor.

Don't other jurisdictions like EU and USA already have passenger rights rules? Are the ones being pushed for in Canada any more stringent than theirs?

I doubt it. I think the passenger rights rules we are asking for in Canada are more or less in line with other parts of the world. So it begs the question - how are those pilots able to ensure safety without this supposed financial pressure?

Yes this is true. But what do you think is the reason? Like is it because there's heavy metals in the dye, so the plate is kinda toxic? Or maybe because it's just too fragile, chips easily, etc?

As the consumer I don't know what regulatory loopholes they are exploiting when they state "decorative use". I doubt the average consumer has the time to do this research. Because a plate is a plate and people will use it to put food on when it's sold in that way, the intended usage is obvious regardless of the tiny disclaimer.

Laughing at "God's Pocket Provincial Park". Never heard of this place before, what a name. I'm sure it's beautiful - gotta respect that BC license plate telling it like it is.

Not an industry, not fraudulent. It's socialized health care. They must be responsible stewards of public funds to ensure that everyone has access to reasonable standard of care - this includes what care is covered and how much service providers are allowed to charge. Sadly things will fall through the cracks, like rare cancers for which highly specialized care is required. But if it covered everyone to go outside of the province for medical care the system would fall apart. Thankfully a solution was found for this person.

I mean it shouldn't be that hard to understand. Housing prices skyrocketed when interest rates dropped during the pandemic. Add the effects of inflation, increases municipal evaluations leading to higher taxes, and you get more costs passed on to renters. This started before all the news of "HuGe SuRgE ImMiGrAnTs".

That being said there is still plenty of truth to the argument that if we do indeed want to welcome more people here, we better make sure there are affordable places to live. So the article addresses that better regulations are needed to ensure an adequate supply of affordable housing. BUT, if people already in Canada are really struggling to get affordable housing, and the number of people who need affordable housing is increasing, you can see why this might be a problem.

A healthy city needs socioeconomic diversity. Not that long ago Montreal was known for cheap CoL allowing people of all walks of life to thrive. Putting aside the artists, students, and general eccentrics that contribute to the vibrant life of the city, we have to consider where the hell are our minimum wage workers going to live. I seriously don't understand how places like Vancouver do it. Does every coffee shop, fast food, retail etc worker commute 3hrs each way? What about the teachers, nurses, garbage collectors? Or do they all get paid way more and everything just costs a lot more?

There's a compromise possible and despite being a major city without lots of undeveloped land, there is still plenty of space reasonably close to the city where high density affordable housing could be. Doesn't have to be prime real estate right downtown. There just needs to be social will and courage to stand by the conviction that this is something good for the city. The truth is that like someone else said, the fine is too low and developers just see it as the cost of doing business.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet had both rejected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s offer to see the documents, arguing it was an attempt to trap them into agreeing not to speak about allegations in public.

Am I right to feel like absolutely nothing of consequence will come of this? The two biggest critics of the ruling party won't know the true extent or evidence. The two sidekicks can see the whole story but will be gagged. So we ultimately won't know the truth and it'll all just devolve to posturing.
