@TheGatorsAbba @rshak8 @GretchenPSmith You say “providing jobs” as if that is some kind of charitable act. Servers are in fact providing service as a paying job, upon which the owner relies in order to operate. Staff wages is just one of the many costs which need to be factored into the product price.

@TheGatorsAbba @GretchenPSmith It’s not my obligation to pay the server … it is the obligation of the restaurant owner to do that. TIPS are “gratuities” … look up the root meaning of that word.

[Steven Blake @beemrider]

@Liza137823 You provided a 20% tip on the after tax amount. That’s actually 22.8% on the value of the meal. That is entirely appropriate for a tip. And no it’s not your job to pay the server for providing service … it is the responsibility of the employer to do that.

@Vincentt1987 Well I know who Natalie Portman is (but I admit I didn’t recognize her). Have never heard of the group.

Sorry ,Pierre, but I was there during the Harper years in Ottawa, and you were not part of the inner circle of power. You had little incidence on what Harper and his close team decided. You were, however, always in search of the media spotlight and you were asking journalists-myself included- to be quoted in their report.

You spoke French very well and I, working for French TV (TVA Nouvelles), was always happy to find bilingual politicians. I would have used a clip of you in my reports but what you said always stopped me. Even then, you were all about personal attacks and superficial comments. You never discussed /analyzed THE POLICY, always the party.
Ad Hominem rather than Ad Rem.
And those politicians ( from all parties ) I tended to exclude in favour of those who examined the substance.

" No fighting with the other party " in my reports was my motto. Explaining factually why you are against x or y decision, yes. But otherwise, it's just empty political attacks and the citizens of Canada deserve better.
You haven't changed, Pierre, despite the responsibilities that are now upon your shoulders. @PierrePoilievre #cdnpoli @PolQC
