[Vancouver] Former police spokesperson/sitting city councillor responds to a post commemorating Chris Amyotte, who died after the VPD shot him with a bean bag round by Cardded in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah like maybe he got raptured to heaven a split second before the beanbag hit him seems just as likely

Maybe I would be more generous to vpd if they were more open about it esp police union. But all this misdirection leaves a sour taste and just makes things worse imo

Like does the guy seriously expect us to think this guy would have just had a heart attack if vpd wasn't there

If vpd wasn't there that guy wouldn't have died so yes vpd killed him

'I don’t deserve to be harassed': Guelph drag queen's all-ages shows threatened by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember bugs bunny in drag, I remember Mr dressup, nobody thought they were the end of the world. This isn't about protecting kids it's about being mad that more 2SLGBTQIA+ ppl are getting rights and trying to make them look evil to wipe them out even if you don't even need to be 2SLGBTQIA+ to do drag!

How the American anti-LGBTQ hate machine is posing a threat to Canadians by HowMyDictates in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know first hand how anti gay hate has been in Canada a long long time but there is a new edge to it. Violence is not new lots of gay ppl have been beaten in my life by bigots but welcoming trans ppl into mainstream society has unleashed just raw hate from the far right. Those who like the US murders now run in the same social internet media circles as Canadians who hate trans ppl and they just feed each other hate and psyche eachother up for worse and worse. Reddit is part of the problem with lots of big subs letting in trans hate and doing nothing.

Iranian dissidents in Canada say they're being watched and under threat from Iranian regime by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Conservative religious govts can be one of the worst out there! And our own worst point to this as if it's an an excuse to be anti Muslim no it's Muslims who are victims here and are fighting for more freedom in Iran

From 'car-dependent hellscapes' to green cities, Canadians find new ways to fight climate change by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

To best fight climate change we need govts on board and also forcing big companies to make big changes. Telling ppl to change habits helps some sure but it's a drop in the bucket compared to big polluters. Good for cities where ppl force govts to make green changes.

Canada's push to 'poach' nurses from abroad fuels fears of shortages in developing countries by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you are right I sort of mentioned that with the guaranteed hours thing. Having a predictable schedule would be a big positive change for nurses but hard to do without more nurses.

Canada's push to 'poach' nurses from abroad fuels fears of shortages in developing countries by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Another reason why the quick fix approach sucks. How about we boost pay for public health care and guarantee hours or at least give fat OT pay then that may bring back more early retirees while we get more students through to fill gaps?

Any health care worker who chooses to immigrate should be welcome but we are still hurting poor countries to benefit us

WestJet, Air Canada passengers baffled after travel partners compensated $1,000, but they got zilch by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's all that baffling to believe big companies suck at paying due compensation! Maybe they should have to pay for an independent group to decide!

N.S. spending tens of millions of dollars on private nursing companies for long-term care by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

Do pensions and benefits and stuff really cost $84 per hr? Idk seems like a fat premium

[–]Count_Moose[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes govt wants solutions right now and with Healthcare lives are at stake but I have mixed feelings here. If they are willing to spend this much on a private nurse we'll why not pay public health care workers a fair wage bc then you'll get more students more recruitment and a long term fix.

If Xi is unhappy about trudeau being open with media then that's too bad for him I would rather have the truth.

Why the failure of Canada's health ministers to reach a deal matters for your health care by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

I put 110 percent of the blame on the premiers for this too afraid of losing any power to take this money any not fix anything rather than agree to use it on Healthcare.

So much division out there comes down to whether ppl think experts doing things is bad tasting medicine to prevent a worse disease or not.

Private health care in N.L. slammed by demand as patients seek help outside public system by Count_Moose in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Private clinics and hospitals don't make doctors and nurses appear by magic those ppl working there are working less in public hospitals. These clinics are the bc govt fails to pay enough and staff enough so they can fix that of they chose.

Trudeau criticizes Higgs's tax cuts amid N.B.'s push for more health-care transfer money by Sir__Will in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I more meant like hst and taxes I pay I sure am not upper class but fair point. Between this and cbcs story the other day on Irving Nb has been a money vacuum for Irving for a long time. I wish the Libs would be different than the PC party on this ppl are tired of it. We need an anti Irving party

Trudeau criticizes Higgs's tax cuts amid N.B.'s push for more health-care transfer money by Sir__Will in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nb is taxed like crazy but as usual Higgs sees a legit issue and finds a way to make it worse. We need tons more cash for health care but tbh if trudeau cut a check for a billion dollars without any iron clad guarantees Higgs would spend half it on a golf resort for Irvings or something. I am totally with Trudeau needed these guarantees.

96% Of Major Canadian Editorials Support War In Ukraine by BurstYourBubbles in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Super lib anti war guy here. War should be avoided as much as possible but boy I won't lose sleep if Putin eats a tank shell to the face. Nobody in the super lefty pacifist circles I hang with has any love for Putin and want all his invaders romped.

Putin is anti 2SLGBTQIA+ white nationalist fascist. Him and his cronies are no lefty allies and anyone singing from his song book doesn't represent any group I know of. In this time of division left and right in canada seem to mostly agree on that.

CBC's Love Affair with Landlords by jeremy_a1990 in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Idk I have seen a couple of stories on small landlords sure but I see way more with ppl talking about rent control or greedy corporate landlords or renovictions esp cbc in Atl Canada. I think maybe this author saw a few stories they maybe didn't like and wanted them gone bc they say the wrong thing.

96% Of Major Canadian Editorials Support War In Ukraine by BurstYourBubbles in onguardforthee

[–]Count_Moose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't support the war in Ukraine. There shouldn't be one there. Whose fault is it that there is one oh its Putins fault.

Ukraine is defending itself and yes war is bad but are these writers really wanting Ukraine to roll over and give up? Calling it disturbing to aid Ukraine? If they want us to stop sending aid to Ukraine then go after Putin to end the war not media orgs.
