Fucking Tracy, she may have been too quick on this one... he could be retiring to join the Liberals in governing in some capacity

 

Specifically, Rule 2 needs to change.

I'm a big believer that crimes which have no victim or no property damage/conversion should not be crimes. This includes the entire Firearms Act and a good chunk of the Criminal Code Part 3 statutes which deal with firearms.

All following these types of laws accomplishes is signalling to the government that we want more of these bullshit laws.

Not only that, overly restrictive laws don't get removed/changed by people stringently following them all the time. Making a rule against posting about breaking these administrative-type laws is as intellectually dishonest as saying that people shouldn't have talked about Rosa Parks refusing to move to the back of the bus. Gay people were fucking long before homosexual acts were legal, people smoked tons of weed before it was legalized, people drank during Prohibition.

There's no reason to restrict posting safe, responsible firearm use regardless of if the firearm in question is legal or not. In fact, it'll have the opposite affect: if people see that these nothing bad comes out of safe firearm usage they won't care as much about restricting that (yes you won't change the minds of the extremists but they want all the guns gone anyways; those few are a lost cause).

Quite honestly, if this rule isn't changed then I don't see any reason to be here instead of on Reddit and I will probably won't participate here altogether because Lemmy is even more of a leftist hellhole than Reddit it.

My taxes are higher and the value of my dollar has greatly reduced under Trudeau... not sure what else there is to explain.

One thing Trudeau took away before my bank account even had a chance to be happy about it was the spousal income splitting.

I never said he made my bank account happy, I said my bank account misses him, ex. things were a lot better for me financially under Harper than they have been under Trudeau, even excluding Covid

 

Ontario Superior Court refused to certify the class action against S&W with respect to the Danforth shooting (and M&P 40 was used)

Given the logistics involved I don't think it is possible to not half-ass it.

I didn't say the federal government doesn't have a say in construction, I said that I highly doubt they are somehow only disallowing water projects

In what world do you need a second mortgage for a well or cistern? You could do it with an unsecured line of credit unless you're an idiot and destroyed your credit rating.

This is fucking stupid. I have lived around this area for my entire life and literally everyone who doesn't live on a reserve (and isn't part of an actual town) have wells or cisterns that were paid with privately.

The only thing stopping someone from getting their own well would be if the ground water isn't available (very low probability that everyone around the reserve has ground water but the reserve doesn't) or that the ground water is contaiminted (also very low probability for the same reason as before, and especially because contamination that bad would have a huge affect downstream in the Grand River).

Like shit, I have both a well and a cistern, as do all my neighbours around me... If someone could explain why wells and cisterns don't work on this particular reserve I'd really appreciate it.

Here's the big question: is the NDP willing to bring down the Government if the CPC force this topic into a confidence vote?
