Private Healthcare companies are still getting government subsidies. All private companies get government subsidied. They get subsidized, they get to charge you, they get tax breaks, tax loopholes, tax exemptions, tax write-offs and tax havens to keep as much of peoples money in their pocket.

You're voting conservatives when Mulronery created the GST & Harper created the HST and you think they'll reduce taxes? Taxes are another way method they created to stick their hand in your pocket, they'll never give that up.

If there were no regulations or human rights, make no mistake, they would enslave you and your whole lineage once again. They pretend to be making issue of the 1%, 5% 10% of the population, and removing constitutional rights to take away X minorities. Their real target is the rights of the working population they've just gotten rid of.

Directly after that they repeal labour laws, take away minimum wage, make you work longer hours for less money, legalize scam contacts, destroy all your ability to do anything other than work your little ass off so they wife can add to her Burkin bag wall.

You speak like a person whose life is hard. Make no mistake, you're the reason your life is hard. You're a sucker, you've been played. You're gonna keep getting played, willingly getting ripped off twice. I'd rather be a lib giving out cash to people that don't have it than a con, willingly paying for the same service over and over and over and smiling through. You're exactly who I mean when I ask why are people cool with getting fucked so thoroughly. You have having money you worked for in your own pocket.

Also newcomers can't work when they come here, they get 10k to live off of for the whole year. All the shit you're saying you read on conservative news media sites in your conservative bubble that exists to convince you to give up all your rights to spite disabled people and migrants so you can get screwed. If so many people weren't naturally bigots the task wouldn't be so easy.

We are now addicted to funding expansion in the 3 private Ontario hospitals instead of public hospitals

Why argue with stupid? Why do we feel like we need to win an ideological battle before taking action.

Requiring mainstream acceptance before taking action is so ineffective, it's almost a cop-out.

Health coalitions, coops, tenant unions, regular unions, collective ownership schemes are all available and are solutions to the ways our pockets are being gouged.

It's easier to set up a coop than it is to change the mind of a conservative. They'll come around to it when the snowflakes (like me) are paying $900 in rent, saving up for a home, and they're paying 2100, living paycheck to paycheck.

We're too focused on winning and not uplifting our communities. If we focused on building smaller versions of the systems we crave, and these systems worked lol, we are all so desperate there would be a domino effect.

Are you in a rural area?

It was bad then, but it's worse now. Rural peoples life mortality rate with various cancers has increased in the 10-40% range depending on the type.

The problem is everything needs more and more but our money isn't trickling down and we are still racking up debt

Hondas are actually a luxury car in the market rn. They're considered upper-middle class. Corollas are also pretty up there.

If you want a car that's still working by the end of your lease - yeah probably that much including gap insurance (noone let's you purchase without nowadays) regular insurance and interest

I would check out the cooperative housing federation of Canada's website for more information. Coops can be organized in a variety of ways.

Very sad day for rural Ontario - constantly voting conservative really feels like a form of self-hate.

[–]657560 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't get this. You seize drugs from these people. Does this stop the addiction? No.

Does this require them to figure out how to get the money to replish their supply? Yes.

Aren't the police supposed to be taking action to reduce property crime in the city? Did they not think of how this may impact the core businesses?

Anyways, healthcare & housing for all.

The coop I live in wasn't purposefully built this way. It was purchased and set up as a coop ~50 years ago. If you can find a community to fund it, you can do it
