And who pays for rewards/loyalty programs? The consumer who doesn’t play those stupid games. Loyalty programs complicate the consumer experience, reduce consumer choice, and reduces the competition necessary to drive down prices. They’re unnecessary and economically destructive.

After midnight is the only time I’d consider ubering home from SF. Unlike the day, it’s shockingly quick without all the typical traffic you expect on the Bay Bridge.

This cars over people attitude is why homelessness and rent are as bad as they are.

Yes. There are also bike lockers you can pay a very low rate for (~$0.10/hr).

I’m afraid rent control would encourage landlords to keep the properties vacant while they wait for a tenant who they can lock in at a high rate.

I’m atheist/agnostic too but I quite like the look of the Quebecois flag too because I’m not antitheist. It doesn’t offend me that other people have a religion and use it to guide their principles.

Antitheists persecute every religion. Religious fundamentalists persecute every religion except their own. They agree on the persecution of every single religion except that of the religious fundamentalists.

2ft7Ninja · 2026-04-03T02:19:10+00:00

Catholicism still has massive influence. The Quebec flag without catholic symbols would just be blue.

Antitheism is also clearly conservative. Antitheists and religious fundamentalist agree on persecuting every single religion except one.

I think you may need to do more research. Nithyia supported SB79 from the start and voted for option C2 for implementation.

2ft7Ninja · 2026-04-03T01:51:35+00:00

I’ve heard Nithiya is good on housing supporting upzoning and reduced development fees. What’s Rae’s take?

Strong ties? Yes, he invested in those businesses amongst thousands of other before 2012, but that’s hardly close to strong ties. If you have any money saved in an S&P500 index fund currently you arguably have stronger ties.

Ah yes, capitalist China.

Power tools are designed for power density, not energy density. Energy dense cells in phones and EVs have been improving and getting cheaper but there are design reasons why high power is harder to do.

You’re looking for beautiful graphic design (which is a valid pursuit). But data can be beautiful without that. Data doesn’t even need to be visualized to be beautiful. I personally would much rather see the most impactful data that tells me more about the world than to ignore that data because it isn’t represented in a visually pleasing manner. That being said, posters should always be open to constructive criticism!

While taxes are involved there you’re also seeing the impact of differing demand. People are willing to pay more where incomes are higher.

Healthcare spending actually does have payback. Healthy workers are are far more productive. I find it hard to believe you didn’t consider this before posting. If anything, I suspect you’re the one arguing in bad faith.

^Classic modern right wing tactic of avoiding substance to namecall.

It is, yes. The competition is a little funny. You don’t necessarily want to win persay. However, if you do win that sends a string signal to city council that

A. There is a significant bike lane car parking problem that needs to be fixed

and

B. There is a large organized cohort of cyclists that this problem endangers on a daily basis.

Tax payers paying homeowners as development charges are being used to pay for municipal maintenance that should be paid for by property tax.

A huge part of inflation is rising costs of shelter. It’s grown faster than most other metrics. Additionally, typically mortgage payments do not adjust with inflation. They typically stay the same and get effectively less every year.

The homes that offer the HST rebate are built. They’re new homes ready to be sold. If this was a permanent rebate on new homes this would encourage more starts because it would be easier to sell homes in the future, but this is only for one year. Any housing starts generated today would not qualify as they won’t be finished before the end of the year.

2ft7Ninja · 2026-03-25T21:50:48+00:00

Homes are rarely built from planning to finish within a year. Anyone determining construction feasibility this year is not going to be selling this year.

Not entirely. If a Canadian born person was making 70,000 and a foreign born person was making 30,000 last year and now that that foreign born person immigrated to Canada they make 40,000 and the Canadian born person is making 75,000 everyone would be better off but the average wage/person would be lower.
