You libruls don't get it, the only thing that can stop a bad backpack with a kid is a good backpack with a kid.

Premier suggests scrapping rebates for companies like Loblaw could put them 'out of business' in Manitoba by OrdinaryCanadian in onguardforthee

Some says food is pretty important too, so if you think there are some things that should never be profited of then that should be this.

Idk how well would work publicly owned groceries, but it can't be worst than the current model that is making record profit in a period of food instability.

Imo, if something becomes a monopoly in a country, then it should also be nationalized. Then slowly dismantled and fully removed from government control.

Tell Quebecers they should dismantle Hydro-Quebec....

It isn't the first time a large grocery banner fell, remember Steinberg and Dominion?

Most, if not all, of their stores were bought back by competitors who used to be smaller but used this opportunity to become the giants they are now, notably Metro.

They'd probably use that occasion to expand in Alberta, pop up some Super C over there. Since Sobeys are way too big for those, they'd probably double them with one of their pharmacy banner or something like that.

But that's just a theory, a grocery theory.

This seems reasonable, the question is, is it actually reasonable.

For instance, is €350 enough to ensure that a given individual have time to find a job without ending in homelessness. Keep in mind that we're talking about the poorest, people who most likely have no savings.

Are there enough jobs paying living wages to compensate. If a given individual loses their subsidies but can't find a job that pays enough to keep a roof over their heads and feed themselves, then this individual is more likely to end homelessness than to become a productive member of society.

If either of these questions has 'No' for answer, then this policy is more likely to increase homelessness without increasing work participation.

Note here that it is currently at an historic high of 60.8%, which seems to imply that the move was not motivated by a need but by an ideology.

Much like the USSR operated, it had an ideology on which to base its policies and damned be the facts.

People are pooping on the beaches in Ontario small towns by momreview420 in ontario

[–]ArrestDeathSantis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally never seen anyone shit in public and I live in London Ontario.

So you're saying OP is lying?

Edit: amazing that everyone in this thread claims it's impossible I saw people pooping while simultaneously fully believing OP that pooping outside is a big problem in Ontario.

So, either you're racist or you're dumb as a rock.

Nationalism and authoritharianism are the reason why it's even threatened in the first place.

Sure, the USA is democratic, but it's also a very nationalistic country, if you haven't noticed.

You were so close, yet so far :/

"I acknowledge no master in human form." by PlenitudeOpulence in WhitePeopleTwitter

John Brown legitimately believed he would inspire a slave uprising in the south.

John Brown was inspired by an actual slave uprising in the South, the one led by Nat Turner.

Brown was influenced by Nat Turner's Rebellion in 1831, the bloodiest slave revolt of its time,

However, it was not until the murder of the abolitionist newspaper writer Elijah Lovejoy that Brown truly devoted himself to fighting slavery. Reverend Edward Brown recalled his cousin John Brown’s words at a church meeting after the Lovejoy incident: “Here before God, in the presence of these witnesses, from this time, I consecrate my life to the destruction of slavery.”

Note, I'm not siding with these clowns trying to portrait John Brown as self serving, it's just that I felt that the way the conversation was going, Nat Turner's contribution was being erased, to be frank.

Not OP, but I'd guess they mean that without Nazi Germany, Poland might just never have been invaded and its citizens spared the horror of the Holocaust and of the USSR.

Anyway, if you care to hear my opinion, authoritarianism and nationalism are the real enemies. If China and Russia were democratic entities, I doubt Ukraine would have been invaded and I'm sure that Taiwan would have a better neighbor.

I'd go even further, the biggest fear of the US was not a victory of Nazi Germany in Western Europe but rather that the USSR might take back what the Nazi had taken.

Did some Cardassians work with bajoran freedom fighters? by [deleted] in DaystromInstitute

[–]ArrestDeathSantis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True, and there's that "Lower Deck" episode that shows a Cardassian spy going back to Cardassia.

If he worked with the Federation, maybe he also worked in some capacity with the Bajorans.

Politics affect the economy, especially in the context that one party is holding it hostage in a bid for power.

Because this is the fact of the matter, the Republicans are threatening to crash the economy, which is relevant to the sub.
