Re polarize the power coupling!

My hypothesis is they deputized a bunch of random who answered internet ads and offered them a fixed amount per person they bring in. They get paid the same, so why bother checking?

So the vaccine is the government implanting a tracker into me, but watches that track my vitals and send them God knows where is hunky dory?

These anti government types always have such a hard time when they become the government.

Should it be on the Indigenous nations to validate the claims of any random person who claims ancestry? That's an unfair onus on them IMO, especially since they're usually not the ones operating whatever program depends on it.

Also, we have plenty of cases of people being separated from their families so maybe they can't directly claim a relationship to a particular modern group bit still suffered from residential schools. Putting it on the nation's would exclude them.

It's the exclamation point at the end that does it for me.

Not "Thanks for your attention in this matter." but instead "Thank you for your attention in this matter!"

That and the signature seem to be a relatively new thing?

Right? The surprise would be if they weren't doing that.

100% they should do this. If you're buying GO fares for more than 2 people it's often cheaper to buy parking.

And all the major stadiums are steps from Union station.

No, it's not. It's a crown corporation and is expected to pay for itself. You could aruge it shouldn't be that way, but that's the state of things right now.

What did you think was going to happen?

That the rest of the world would be NPCs just blithely accepting whatever you want?

I actually like that he's ragging the puck on this. The longer it goes the more eager Trump is going to be for a deal.

Why? He didn't seem to want the job when he had it. His one and only "achievement" was keeping property tax increases low and that was at the expense of the quality of life in the city.

Give your balls a tug. Buying an air fryer that requires an internet connection makes you an idiot, not a victim of capitalism.
