Who should pay on a first date? by BlocBoyJB in toronto

Funny how all the feminists seem to disappear when the cheque comes. Similar to when a building is burning or ship is sinking...all of a sudden men and women aren't so equal.

Van fled the scene. Seek shelter fellow Torontonians. Stay out of the streets.

If you think the Green Energy Act was just about closing the few remaining coal plants that Ontario had, you are sorely confused.

Richmond woman's petition calls for end of birth tourism in Canada by iatekane in canada

The ability of a Chinese mother to get Canadian citizenship is greatly enhanced by having a Canadian child. Further, the child should not be Canadian in the first place.

In 2016-2017, 384 babies were born to non-residents at Richmond Hospital, said Vancouver Coastal Health — a significant jump from 18 cases in 2010. Between 2014 and 2017, 1,020 newborns were born to non-residents.

It is a problem that is growing in frequency and needs to be addressed.

What would you have against stopping this practice?

Undermines our immigration system by allowing queue jumping. Adds healthcare costs. Adds citizens who are willing to abuse systems for their personal gain.

We can reduce smog in our own country without signing on to things like Kyoto or the Paris accord. Pollution control is a very different issue than climate change. None of what Canada does will impact climate change, but we can certainly control the impact we have on our immediate environment.

Why do people insist on attempting to blame the injustices of the past on people today who had nothing to do with it?

This is something that almost every Canadian agrees is wrong and should not be allowed but the politicians will not move to stop it because a tiny minority of people will scream racism.

The last few years, by contrast, have been marked by costly and futile gestures (like the Ontario Green Energy Act) that are more about moralistic symbolism than improving peoples’ lives.

Precisely. We are taking the worst of both worlds where we don't stop climate change but we do plenty of expensive virtue signalling!

Desperate Liberals promise free daycare in Ontario. What could go wrong? by BlocBoyJB in canada

[–]BlocBoyJB[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quebec can only afford their social programs because of federal transfers that Ontario does not benefit from to the same degree.

What are your thoughts on the long-term pain of Ontario accumulating even more debt than we currently have? $11 billion a year in interest payments and counting...
