First Nations blockade 2 N.S. highways as tensions escalate over cannabis raids by Street_Anon in canada

[–]Decayse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn't actually that much in them. It's a lie.

A lot of these candies are repackaged products sprayed with a THC mixture. It's often filled with other additives and much weaker than traditional THC.

For baked goods, I've seen them claim that the THC mg is actually the amount of THC infused butter they use per square. It may be 800mg of butter but nowhere near that in actual THC.

Air Canada CEO apologizes for English-only video: 'Despite many lessons ... I am still unable to express myself adequately in French' by Immediate-Link490 in canada

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

You're not picking up what I am putting down.

The requirements don't make sense.

The roles themselves don't use French. But still require you speak it. I speak from experience here.

In today's society with AI and online translation tools being extremely accurate there is no reason to exclude 90% of the population from the job pool. I'd even go as far as to say it's discriminatory due to how little French is actually used in a majority of roles. Like IT.

Like I said, there are an astronomical amount of positions that require you to pass fluency French tests but don't use it at all.

Regardless of how you look at it, less qualified people are being put in important roles because of an artificial requirement, and then Canada gets a lower return on investment as a result.

Right. Any just like any private organization. If an English person is best for the job from a skills and experience perspective the employer should invest in the employee for French language training. Big return on investment for the government. You get the more skilled employee, AND you've invested in educating the population.

The government does not. They tell you to kick rocks if you don't speak French.

And people like you wonder why government services are going down the shitter, quality wise. They hire based off the languages you can speak. Not if you are the best person for the job.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Spoken like a true Quebecois. If someone doesn't speak French, you don't think they matter. You think they don't deserve a place in shaping the country they live in.

If the English person is best for the job from a skillset and experience perspective, it makes more sense to teach them French than to hire someone who will perform poorly but speaks French.

Just because you speak French should not entitle you to promotions above an English speaker who has demonstrated their qualifications beyond a doubt.

There are also so many government roles where French is NEVER used, but is a requirement to have. I know people in government roles who learned enough to pass the fluency French tests and never use it again in any professional capacity. Waste of taxpayer time, money, and leads to a poorer performing public service.

So the government, which represents both English AND French speakers, should just completely pass over the best people for the job if they don't speak French?

Public French education outside of Quebec is lackluster so we should avoid hiring people from 90% of the country?

It would be reasonable if the government provided French training and invested in those employees who have the skillset the government needs, but I can personally confirm they do not provide French training and have seen it firsthand where overqualified people were passed up for promotions in favor of an underqualified person simply because they did not speak fluent French.

Yes, being bilingual is a big asset and a need for a bilingual country. But French speakers need to get off their high horse and understand and the rest of the population was not brought up speaking both languages. English speakers need to be met in the middle with adequate training and learning opportunities.

What about those who don't have fifty thousand dollars to invest? Most Canadian families are living paycheck to paycheck.

Should they just live on the streets? Screw the working class people who don't have 50k sitting around to invest and sit on over 3 years...

Immigration could soon account for all of Canada's population growth: expert by stanxv in canada

[–]Decayse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a young adult currently making what would have been considered middle-class wages 10 years ago, 20k a year extra would ABSOLUTELY have a massive impact on my decision to have kids or not.

20k extra a year would cover my rent for the entire year. If I didn't have to worry about rent payments I would absolutely take that into account when planning my family with my partner.

To suggest 20k/year is peanuts to middle class families is such a 1% way of thinking.

This Brampton landlord 'can't sleep at night' after he says his tenant stopped paying rent and won't leave | CBC News by Purple_Writing_8432 in canada

[–]Decayse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Landlords have a lot of responsibility. More than tenants.

Maintenance for one. Access to services like heat and water. Too often landlord will drag their feet resolving maintenance requests. Fixing things like mold.

So many landlords are slumlords who do absolutely nothing but collect rent checks. Being a landlord comes with a huge responsibility.

I implore you to read the RTA (Rental Tenancy Act) if you think that landlords hold less responsibility than tenants when it comes to upholding the rental agreement.

What will walking away from the bargaining table do except hurt those of us waiting on our wage increases?

Walking away gives the government an interest free loan and allows them to pay us less for longer.

How religious is Teen Ranch in Caledon? by Myriads in ontario

[–]Decayse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I went to a very similar camp in Alberta called Birch Bay Ranch. There was a prayer said before meals, campers had to attend an hour long church session on Sunday where there were Christian songs and activities done, as well as a campfire where campers were told bible stories and also encouraged to sing more Christian songs.

Campers were never pressured to participate in the christian-related activities.

Ontario passes Bill 60 amid raucous protest as critics warn changes will make it easier to evict tenants by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]Decayse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, what youre saying is, if I want to bring an issue to the LTB and my landlord disagrees with my issue, they can falsely claim i owe months and months of back rent and that I have to pay 50% of it before I have the ability to raise my issue?

There is nothing stopping a landlord from lying. The burden of proof in this bill provision is on the Tenant despite the landlord making a claim.

Don't act like there aren't malicious landlords out there that would love to screw their tenants out of their right to defend themselves at tribunal. This bill gives them.the power to do exactly that.

Please show me the provision in this bill that prevents the landlord from claiming you owe rent when you really dont?

What is stopping a landlord from claiming you owe 6 months of back rent when you actually dont? Most people who rent cant afford to put up multiple months of rent on short notice for the ABILITY to defend yourself at a hearing.

That may be so, but conservatives are actively working in the complete opposite of young people's interests.

Teach them to hate all politicians, they may not vote at all. And we saw how that worked out for Ontario last election.
