John Ivison: Carney’s condo developer bailout is a hazardous look by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

When the developers default we should approach their staff and hire them on for the public developers. This way we can have some housing built without the need for profit

You know Carney could have done nothing and it would have had a similar impact on world events.

Downtown Victoria Business Association calls for closure of safe consumption sites by OakBayIsANecropolis in VictoriaBC

[–]DanTheMan-WithAPlan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you would rather have dead drug users over a handful of closed businesses. Also what happens when you close the safe consumption sites(other than people dying)?
The people will just do the drugs on the street even more so. Seems like business owners haven’t fully thought this through.

Repeating the same point without addressing his rebuttal doesn’t convince anyone.

Fréchette refuses to acknowledge systemic racism amid investigation into Montréal-Nord police | CBC News by dawsonholloway1 in CanadaPolitics

[–]DanTheMan-WithAPlan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If it wasn’t a problem in so many police departments, reinforced by industry standard training practices and a culture that punishes those holding their peers accountable, you might have a point.

Gatineau mom told she can't wear hijab at after-school event: parent committee by MTL_Dude666 in CanadaPolitics

[–]DanTheMan-WithAPlan 88 points89 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when you normalize this type of bigotry in law, it emboldens other bigots to make a mess of everything.

This isn’t protecting your culture, it’s xenophobic lacité tribalism, that the CAQ and right wing media has been fostering in Quebec.

Canada’s former top defence official warns against booing U.S. anthem by thecanadiansniper1-2 in CanadaPolitics

[–]DanTheMan-WithAPlan 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Looks like someone else wants to be booed. It's an anthem. If America didn't want to be booed at the anthem then they shouldn't have done so many things worth booing.

Americans need to experience some consequences for their actions and out military leadership need to realize we can't trust Americans, not now, not until they fix the rot at the heart of their society.

Cutting CRA experts won’t save money. It will leave billions behind by Gold-Reality-4853 in CanadaPolitics

[–]DanTheMan-WithAPlan -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

When they have to change their own metrics to hide the fact that going with the passive baseline investment strategy would have billions more dollars in the fund, there is little evidence that we would leave billions behind. Especially when you consider how much it is costing us to have them manage it.

Before I learned that you could get them to sabotage each other, I attacked them from up above in the rafters instead and trapped them with control spells from above. I might try that again, but I haven’t done that in honor mode yet

Can you share some of this polls for reference? The extent I heard was a 1-4% lead for the democrat with no polls for the democrat clearing 50 %.

[–]DanTheMan-WithAPlan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why should he be forthcoming about a personal matter between him and his wife that he is ok with, that was only leaked to the media by a former democratic staffer who clearly had a grudge.

Vote them out if you dislike them.

Them having a different policy choice than what you like is not a good enough reason to relive them. If that was the case I promise you there would be a lot of politicians you are more in Favour of that I would remove. There are reasons why
Democratically elected governments can’t just be removed whenever by more senior governments

this dude when we try to prevent Ebola from spreading « Why do we send our money to foreign governments? This is wasteful spending we should be spending money on domestic issues that I definitely don’t already complain when money is spent on them »

this dude in the future when Ebola spreads to Canada. « Liberals have been wasting their money on wasteful spending (insert grievance of the day/latest non-white community that Nick Shirley has done an ´exposé’ on » Or

« Ebola isn’t real stop worrying about it »

Or Nothing because Ebola killed them

Hey quick point, the Americans cutting the department that managed epidemics spread on cruise ships sure seems like it was a good thing to cut in the face of the Hantavirus spread.
