@MI6_4freedom@LichTamara Yup, I just watched a bunch of Mexicans terrorizing the Ecuador football team...it was sooo scary, all that noise and honking was terrifying, all over a stupid game.
Imagine if they were doing it to protest some inane or illegal government policy! That would truly be criminal.
@Reil76 And a little research would show that the vast majority of the exported material was in fact oil from Alberta!
Given the current supply chain issues through the Straits of Hormuz, not surprising. And likely to continue.
@FoxNews No one should ever be forced to eat green beans! It's the actual definition of cruel & unusual punishment.
I'm quite sure the U.N. has outlawed this barbaric practice.
@Brian339031768@brianlilley And they'd still pay nothing, because they'd simply pass costs on to the Canadian consumer, which just makes it one more tax we'd end up paying.
@RealDonBradshaw Combined the annual costs of these programs total $35B+ a year, while we're also paying close to $55B a year to service the debt, going up to $75B in 5 years.
Eventually you you have to put away the credit card because you really can't afford to pay for everything you want.
@guyfelicella Pre 1980's we never had a homeless problem & those with mental health issues were housed, clothed, fed & received treatment. Was it perfect, no. Was it better than what we have today, absolutely.
Closing those facilities was an atrocious way to save money!
@LauraBabcock Well, if it doesn't meet the criminal code definition of treason, then by law, it is lawful and therefore not treasonous.
Your further comment of needing new laws is reminiscent of Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin's police chief, who said "show me the man & I'll show you the crime."
@CheriDiNovo But you can; get sick in Canada and die waiting for treatment; spend months waiting for diagnostic tests; wait days on a stretcher in the hallway because they don't have room for new patients.
And for that, we pay more than the vast majority of similar public health systems.
@DarrigoMelanie A better idea might be to forget about income tax altogether, along with the myriad of write offs exemptions & loopholes, and replace it with a proper consumption tax.
@guyfelicella Thanks, I appreciate that telling your story is much more effective in helping to teach our young students than most other efforts, most of which are feeble and useless.
Your story is inspiring and you are a fine role model.
@joeydhansen I remember when the country was led by serious Liberals who developed policies that didn't drive us into deficit & who believed that balancing a budget was necessary for the health of our economy!
Now we have π€‘'s who believe it's okay to spend $Billions on interest payments.
@TonyYoung1729@GigglingGanon Wrong, in π¨π¦ "reasonable suspicion" is the standard for a warrantless search like a drug detection dog.
"Probable cause" is πΊπΈ, the π¨π¦ equivalent is "reasonable & probable grounds" or "RPG".
There's enough evidence for reasonable suspicion to detain the driver.
@guyfelicella The liquor industry in the US is valued at about $570B about 1.75% of GDP.
Canadian imports of liquor, wine & beer pre tariffs amount to $744M, which is little more than 1%.
While not nothing, it's essentially a drop in the bucket.
@CheriDiNovo@MarkJCarney You do realize that all of Canada's impact on the US spirits, wine & beer represents less than 1% of their entire industry.
@RodAVanier Many of us have blamed the Liberals. All Trump did was highlight how weak our economy is & how unserious the Libs were in trying to fix it. PM Carney hasn't lived up to the advertisements & buyer's remorse is starting to set in.
My advice, we need less talk.
Just do it!
@raghu_venugopal 50 years ago, most jurisdictions had facilities to house people with mental health issues. In the 80's most were closed & the patients were cast out with little supports.
While that model wasn't perfect we did not have a homeless issue. Perhaps we need to revisit it.
