A 2019 study on the Victoria-Westshore ferry found the transit option would provide few potential revenue benefits.

And that’s the problem with privatization.

A study was conducted that concluded no immediate profit was to be made, when that should never have been the question asked.

Would a rail line boost affordability, both of goods and services in Victoria and for people attempting to commute?

The service could possibly pay for itself in ways other than direct revenue to the rail line operator. But the study didn’t address that.

Yes, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s Princess Diana or Marilyn Monroe.

They’re probably right — historically, Japan has had a defense-only army and no nuclear arsenal, and depended on the US to defend it through treaties.

The current US administration has demonstrated that those treaties are likely worthless today; Japan can’t depend on the US to come to its aid if another country attacks them.

To the Canadian constitution, or the US one? It’s pretty much enshrined in the Canadian constitution.

Ah; adjusted for legal garnishment.

Are you certain it isn’t hereditary?

Trump will LOVE that! People think he’s more responsible than Biden!

Good/bad doesn’t have to do with age. Are you going to Harvard or a local college with subsidized night school classes? Are you wanting to learn a specific skill, get a degree, upskill for a career path, retrain for new work?

I had a grandfather who ended up deployed in the army when he was planning to go off to college. When he got back, he took the jobs he could and continually took night school classes.

My father got his masters degree when he was 46, which resulted in 20 years of increased pay at work.

Me? I’m constantly learning, using free online courses. I don’t care about the degrees or certifications; anyone who knows me knows what I’m capable of.

I knew a woman who got her PhD in Law at the age of 97.

My workplace pays for appropriate certifications for its employees.

There’s all sorts of ways to go to school.

Denialists will disagree.

It’s projection. Paxton doesn’t like who’s benefiting.

And there are Canadians with those predatory timeshares in Florida that are damned either way….

Yes, that’s kind of the point of my question.
