The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.

@martianwyrdlord Typical service contracts that governments sign with these firms (I.e. Brookfield) are borderline treasonous.

These firms can't lose money, so many guarantees built in, they get full pay as long as the asset is open and available, even if headcount is low.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@jengerson Just to be clear Jen, these assets won't be sold to the CPP, they'll be sold off to Brookfield and alike and the CPP will buy in. Private equity wins every time.

Our plans are only tied to the US because they provide the best returns. Thousands of plans world wide to invest in.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@BagelPolling The US can't take our sovereignty because we want to just give it away all by ourselves.

@BagelPolling Denmark did a study - it's too bad statscan won't release / track the data for Canada.

@JoshSmolt @ABDanielleSmith Denmark didn’t wake up until people saw what rampant immigration was doing to their precious social services. They started studying it and identified the invading free shit army of immigrant hordes pillaging the public purse.

@SaysSimulation Liberals rely on entrenched coalitions and voting blocs to maintain power.

How much more can Canadians take before common sense finally kicks in and allows us to stop funding ridiculous initiatives like supply management.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@buperac Canadian thresholds first/second/manslaughter really should be changed and provincial governments should be holding prosecutors to account when they bump down charges.

Alas, that is what a real country would do.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

This really is the ultimate example Canadian perversion when it comes to law and order.

Canada doesn't publicize crime data in the same way other countries do, under the guise of peace. It's one of the key ways they've become a progressive nightmare.

A person was charged with failing to disclose HIV status before sex. Crown stayed. Privacy Commissioner recommended Google de-list news stories about the charge. They refused citing free expression concerns. Privacy Commissioner is taking Google to court. https://t.co/kEICol6Ql7

@buperac We really did nuke a deal over French labelling and supply management. That is why they are so flippant on the details.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@jengerson Canada killed an international trade deal over supply management.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@FortySacks LPC strategists have determined that no deal is better than a bad deal, politically speaking.

Economically? Well, that's a whole other question that us peons shouldn't bother ourselves with.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

Disgusting.

A pile of soggy deli meat between the cheese and crust completely ruins this "pizza".

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@buperac This whole citizenship thing is a red herring and logistically impossible to revoke, given the current state of Canada.

The most disappointing part is that it is being pushed by people who know better.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@Hydraxos @JeffCallaway The referendums will be done by secret ballot.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@Hydraxos @JeffCallaway Because there is no practical way to do this and you also don't have any idea who voted for what.

Would you revoke the citizenship of a 40 year resident of Newfoundland who moved to Alberta for work last year?

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@finseraste Also Coyne: "Of course infinity immigration is good for you and muh 'neutral' immigration institutions will always use that as their guiding principle."

I used to believe he was just misguided before, but it's beyond mere naivety at this point with him.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@_kruptos @CPC_HQ @TheBlackHorse65 It hasn't even been that long since they sent their henchmen (CBC marketplace) after Kellie Leitch - many cons still have PTSD from that.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@_kruptos @CPC_HQ "and cultural compatibility to help build a prosperous, cohesive, high-trust society"

This might be the most surprising rhetoric in all this from the OLP. Almost unheard of almost anywhere inside "acceptable" Canadian political discourse.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@finseraste I mean we've all seen the recent CPC caucus photos.

He likely believes that there is no probable path to victory by using this issue, because Canada is too far gone demographically.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@martianwyrdlord Here's the thing - it doesn't fill any sort of market niche and it's doubtful that it will operate anywhere close to the efficiency of private equity.

The first time this fund is forced to make a decision on if they lay off 20% of a company's workforce? We know the answer.

[Jonathan Gray @Gray__Jonathan]

@DeanTTraining Although it's an extra step, have you tried boiling them in baking soda (1/4 tsp, 10 mins) prior to the air fry?

Perfectly crisp and soft on the inside.
