Clearly not dispensable since you continue to own it.

In this case, the context was that there was a threat being made, that voters could be materially harmed by the Chinese government if they did not vote a particular way. This is something that China has a history of actually following through on, so it's obvious that people took it seriously. I don't really have a problem with someone voicing their own individual opinion.

To keep things simple though, probably all social media comments made by someone who is not in Canada related to Canadian politics should not be visible while in Canada. Canadians should be allowed to talk to each other freely. If Canadians want to see how Americans are feeling about our election, they should have to seek that information out from News Outlets, Pollsters, or even just directly talking to someone rather than it just showing up in some random feed on Facebook.

We regulate social media content all the time. Why would this be any different?

This data is just useless... It's only surveying people who HAVE cars. The percentage of people in a country who actually HAVE a car would be a better indicator of where they're most dispensable.

I mean, there is actual data on this... it's easy enough to google.

28.2 Billion spent by 22.1 million international tourists in 2019 is $1276 per tourist for each trip. https://www.latmultilingual.com/blog/who-are-canadas-tourists-an-overview-of-the-top-tourism-markets-for-canada/

Having foreign countries or foreign people pressure Canadian citizens in any way to vote a particular way.

Sounds like we need a new law then.

They do pay taxes in the province though...

Hotel taxes, sales taxes, income taxes on the wages of the people providing services to tourist, etc.

Tourism is one of the easiest injections of money possible into a local economy

A couple visiting for a week can easily spend $2,000+ on lodging, food, and activities.

Not sure why tourists should fund this, it's mostly locals that would benefit, but if that's what you want just tack a couple bucks onto the hotel fees to make it easy to handle.

That nominal charge seems useless to prevent that specific issue, a daily bus pass is $5 and you can literally just get one from someone who no longer needs it for the day. I've given mine away. Even just begging will get you bus fare very quickly.

I'd rather they do something like "everyone off" when they hit the end of their line, which I believe mostly already happens. That means that people can't setup on a single bus for multiple hours, but still allows homeless to warm up if they need it for a bit.

Also, I don't really care if something "feels'" less safe, I care if it is less safe. I haven't heard that busses are particularly dangerous for anyone other than the bus drivers lately, the cameras are all installed now, and police do respond pretty quickly when something goes wrong.

State government. This isn't a federal matter since the supreme court was hijacked.

He may have a large value on paper, but I don't think he actually has access to most of it anymore. He's been removed from every single important role in any of the companies he owns.

and is currently a visiting professor living in Japan at the moment if I recall correctly.

Tell that to Jack Ma

Laws don't apply to the ultra rich in the US.

"I do my own thinking" -Conservatives

Because most of the Hamas leadership isn't in gaza. They're protected in other countries that are funding and arming Hamas.

The Republicans have been caught entirely funding the green party in multiple swing states.

They absolutely use their money to sabotage the democrats

Capitalism is fine, we just need to tweak regulations for it to better incentivize the result we (humanity) are looking for.

It really doesn't hurt to keep asking. Nobody that matters is going to be offended by it. Eventually someone will tell you, but just be aware that different people may have different reasons so don't assume feedback from one employer applies to all employers.

Effectively yes. Unless a city can prove it has enough shelter spots for everyone public camping in parks is legal. This was according to the supreme court of Canada.

The city has some control over which parks, but if they try to block them all or make the restrictions unreasonable then they will challenged in court.
