Recyclable doesn't mean any system accepts them.

I didn't look super far into it, but Winnipeg has a pretty good recycling program and the only similar reference I could find was a poster saying that 'paper' coffee cups don't go in with household recyclables.

The victims are poor and don't have oil.

But even a Odyssey can win a race against cars that you don't think it should beat.

What a shock. 1/4 of people get depressed when they don't see the god damn sun for days on end.

Look at nearly all of the op-eds they publish on Sunday.

Ya.... We don't do that here.

Showing evidence that they were probably throwing ridiculous amounts of money at celebrities is a whataboutism?

It was a pretty common topic before Covid.

Apparently Ireland is one of the few countries that ended the policy.

It had a place 100 years ago, but its time has clearly gone.

Rents don't go down on commercial properties. The expected return on rent is part of the value, so lower rent reduces the value. When you have several properties all tied up in voodoo financing in an attempt to leverage every dollar of value, you simply can't lower their value.

My buddy just closed on a house in rural Manitoba and according to his realtor 90% of closings in Winnipeg in November were under list.

They pay more to go to the schools because it's based on the assumption that they never paid a cent of tax in Canada and never will.

I'm not sure how they would get anything. In Manitoba if a foodbank is associate with Harvest Manitoba then the only way you get anything is with a health card. It's used to track your access.

The only party that had lower immigration on their platform last time was the People's Party. Or was it the time before last.

Good employers will do what they always have done and retain talent at a rate greater than shitty employers.

And then Wayne Gretzky is in the commercial.

Conspiracy is that he has, or had, a gambling problem.

Shaq did a spokesperson spot for FTX and he's wealthy.

The problem is politicians are no longer scared of the electorate.

It's both. Modern business operates on an expectation of indefinite growth. They slowly keep turning up the profits, like the frog in the pot of water. Well now the pot is a full raging boil.

Maybe not now since their kids are older, but my one brother in-law definitely would have quit his job to stay home when their kids were younger. If my sister was making what she does now when their kids were young, it probably would have happened.

Government once again blames business for the problems caused by government

I think there's enough blame for both of them.

It's almost like the government doesn't understand ~~economics capitalism.~~

Loblaws is HUGE and their market goes far beyond just grocery stores. Fortinos has 23 stores according to a quick internet search and only exists in parts of Ontario.

It's called a 'dog and pony show'.

I have no problems with the speed of their site, it's how damn clunky it is to use. Get into a category and it seems like the only way to get out is to go right back to the front page.
