@KeithBoag@AuntieWokeness@Pagmenzies@acoyne It’s funded by taxpayers. The fact that it’s not 100% funded by taxpayers is irrelevant. If they don’t want the taxpayers to have a say in how it’s run, they should forego all government money.
@ottbrocj@solcryptodegen@BenMulroney Calling it terrorism is simply stating the facts. Do you get upset when they say Canada won the soccer game against Qatar? Or did you demand they merely repeat the 6-0 score and you “think for yourself” to determine who won?
@ehbsea@LecoursBouffard@DimitrisSoudas They referenced the Geordie Howe bridge because Carney still lied about the terms of the deal after it was agreed to.
@AyrshiresTakes@JeremyGi6son@TristinHopper When the police stop the mob from running an extortion racket, we don’t buy out the mobsters for lost revenue. And the government already paid off the farmers for past trade deals, then never implemented the terms of the trade deals.
@JeremyGi6son@TristinHopper Suggesting they just eliminate the quota. Why would the government buy it back. The government isn’t harming them, just preventing them from unfairly overcharging people going forward.

@SpencerFernando MPs have already surrendered any semblance of independence and act only as trained seals acting at the best of the PM’s office. Floor crossing should be banned because you’re not electing a MP you’re electing a party.
@TransLink on the 240, there’s a sketchy crackhead acting erratically. Transit cops get on at Denman, so I assume it’s to deal with him. Instead they check our tickets, of which the guy doesn’t have one and then they leave him alone? What’s the point of paying ourselves then?
