Canada has an ignoramus problem and if we don't deal with it we will end up like the US.

I’m saying this without any actual proof

You probably could have saved yourself and everyone else some time by simply not commenting.

Arguing for centralization on a platform that has a selling point of decentralization is incredibly funny to me.

If they could read you would be in real trouble.

Fact is he and his family, regardless of their daughter, do not qualify to live in that house with all of the tax payed amenities and shouldn't be allowed to stay. It may cost the same, but it matters who receives the benefits of living there because the person living their is supposed to hold a very specific role in parliament.

Fact of the matter is that he is currently receiving benefits paid for by tax dollars that he is not qualified for, which is an issue.

I would go so far to say ALL plastics need to be banned … with exceptions made for medical, military and space applications.

This is why hyperbole is meaningless.

Its not the lack of sleep that kills you, it is the stress on your body from not sleeping for long periods of time causing things like heart failure and aneurysms.

To properly quote the Minister.

“No, I think that we need to deliver more supply , make sure the market is stable.”

Getting the government back into the business of directly building affordable housing is one effective way to accomplish that.

Is this not the plan?

It’s centrally important and means that they are still in denial. Real prices must come down — as you say, due to basic principles of supply and demand — if the problem is going to be solved. But they cannot be allowed to come down, because that’s another financial crisis waiting to happen. It’s quite a dilemma.

Can you elaborate?

 

The article itself is important because it is fucked up that BCUP kept taking donations long after they dropped out and the election was over, but it had a very interesting piece of information about the election overall that is buried in it.

Between Aug. 29 and Dec. 31, the B.C. Conservatives took in just under $3.93 million from 4,534 contributions, while the NDP received just over $3.93 million from 7,439 contributions.

Provincial political contributions in B.C. are capped at about $1,484 in 2025, up from just over $1,450 last year.

It is interesting that with the same limits, and about the same dollar amount donated, the BC conservatives hit $3.93 million with about 3,000 less donors.

Speaks volumes.

 

The question that I have not seen asked is why are these guns being destroyed?

I may be ignorant to some reason why it is not possible, but wouldn't the best idea be to buy back all of these weapons for use in the military?

I hear our military could use millions of guns and parts, and it would actually justify the cost of the program. It would also be a massive increase on military spending our allies have been asking for and that we are in serious need of.
