The hypocrisy is what gets me... Yeah, axe the tax... But let the forests keep burning, the rain keep flooding, the heat keep broiling people and droughts starving us...
It's not rocket surgery... Make the thing that is bad for us more expensive, and use that money to make things that are good for us LESS expensive. I still don't know why there isn't a tax on gasoline and diesel and natural gas that doesn't DIRECTLY fund public transit...
Just wait until you find out his brother wrote a one-page memo on mayoral letterhead, cancelling a transit project that had been years in the making, and with the stroke of a pen costing the city nearly $100 million dollars in wasted effort and cancellation penalties. Oh, and the beneficiaries are the same construction-and-development types that Drug Fraud is courting with changing zoning laws and paving over agricultural land for an expressway that nobody asked for.
Trudeau underestimates how many people will vote against their own best interests because of a grudge.
And when their social services are cut, and they're made homeless, or sick / dead / disabled because they couldn't get the healthcare they needed, they'll still find a way to blame anyone other than the people responsible for extending their misery.
Yeah, Ford wants Singh to know that, in no uncertain terms, he should be grifting his way to a fabulously wealthy retirement by lending political favours to developers and private healthcare companies, just like Mike Harris did.
Dude is seriously mentally ill.
So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold
It's a crown corp. "We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing." is the order of the day.
If you can't negotiate and come to an agreement with your union, and ask the government to intervene, the government should impose conditions that are better than what the union is asking for.
I mean, they won't do it... Even though CN made $5B last year, and $4B the year before that, then turned around and spent most of it on stock buy-backs to inflate their share price, making insiders an insane amount of money...
Yeah, my buddy was under microFIT - he missed the deadline for 80c/kWh, but got into the program that pays him 40c/kWh.
Works in Ontario. A friend of mine generates 2x to 4x more power than he uses. He had a 10k kW solar roof put in, it faces south, and the pitch of his roof was actually optimized for power output in the winter. His heat is propane, which isn't optimal from an environmental aspect, but it's modern and otherwise power-efficient.
Yeah, I wonder if they considered at all the consequence of potentially having BOTH CN and CPKS in the position to strike. Or, if they did, and this is what they came up with... Wow. What a fuckup.
Hard to make a comment when your mouth is full with the dicks from the C-suite at CN and CPKS.
Essentially, you outsource the blocking to your VPN server in that scenario. You can have a blocklist of advertisers, trackers, or bad-behaviour like SSH/HTTPS scans, etc. You would generally download a list of misbehaving netblocks and block them on your firewall, then download a list of known-bad domain names, and block them from being resolved by DNS (i.e. just return 127.0.0.1, which is your local device, which always fails)
