Except women who want to have abortions can’t say that quiet part out loud.
Or transgender care oopsie no bodily autonomy there either.
She’s such a fucking ghoul.
I don’t believe for a second that a) this won’t be used to invest in oil and gas b) she won’t kick the management of this to her buddies’ private companies so she can benefit personally.
Remember, the conservatives always want to privatize public services and assets to benefit their friends. Reference: GREENBELT.
I agree, but the path forward to get everyone else on board with socialized housing is pretty bleak. We can walk and chew gum at the same time, but we’re having issues hanging onto our socialized healthcare.
I think we also need to re-think how we work and good work opportunities for people. We’re supposedly in a housing crisis but there is more than enough land in Canada. We need to disperse more people away from huge cities (and the green belt) in my opinion. There needs to be good opportunity elsewhere. I have no clue how we can do that outside of UBI or something.
The extreme concentration of wealth is just accelerating and hurting everyone except the fantastically wealthy.
When it pops most people still won’t have money (because recession) and corporations will scoop in and buy up all the assets oh boy!
I’ve been in this industry for 10+ years under both Liberal and Conservative governments - the contracts are not dependent on what government is in power.
In fact, the IBM Phoenix contract - the poster boy for one of the most wasteful IT contracts ever - was awarded in 2011 when Harper was in power.
What is wrong with people? Who taught them to believe that this behaviour is acceptable?
There are lots of politicians I don’t like. I see many out at events in Ottawa. And I… go about my day and leave them alone.
If you want to break free of an ecosystem / format you can go to a brand like Boox or Pocketbook. I have a pocketbook and like it, but some people think they are klunky/laggy (I wanted a smaller, water resistant reader).
I moved away from Amazon because I didn’t like the idea that they could delete or change a book I had paid for and I hated the ads for books/store on my e-reader.
If you go this route you will likely need to get Calibre free software to load books on your reader, so it does depend on how technical you are prepared to be. Not a steep learning curve but there are some recommended plugins, especially if you want to move books that you have bought on the Kindle Ecosystem. You can also go deeper and do things like have the software auto-estimate page # and reading difficulty, as well as implement tagging/organization systems, change/optimize covers, etc.
Why should the Competition Bureau allow this?
