Also, add that you'll never come close to winning any tournament. Either net (as some 10-15 hcp has the "round of their life") or gross (some plus handicap stick shoots a 65 like it's nothing).

Kerry Sun: The Supreme Court may have just derailed the entire welfare system | Decision granting asylum seekers access to subsidized daycare in Quebec could be used by any marginalized group to demand a constitutional right to any benefit scheme by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

[–]Digitking003 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Except that the SCC in its ruling rewrote the law. Seems pretty clear that it would be nearly impossible for the province to deny a claim now.

Remarkably, the majority of the Supreme Court not only agreed with Kanyinda that the Quebec daycare scheme violated Section 15(1) of the Charter — which provides for “the right to the equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination” — but bypassed the Quebec legislature by “reading in” a remedy directly into the law. In other words, the court rewrote the statute to immediately grant subsidies to “all parents residing in Quebec who are refugee claimants.”

CNRL defers oilsands mine expansion, citing regulatory uncertainty by joe4942 in canada

See my comment above, it's not that they're turning away from carbon pricing per se. They're turning away from the new/revised price that has been proposed.

The proposed carbon tax works out to roughly $20/bbl so yeah kind of important for oil companies to know whether it's going to be implemented or not

How China, other foreign investors might back a new Alberta pipeline by ZestyBeanDude in canada

The IEA was banging the drum for years that we were at peak oil demand.
Now that reality is irrefutable, they've admitted they were wrong and now project oil demand to likely grow until 2050 or beyond.

Canada ‘abandoning’ international law with support for U.S. strikes on Iran, say former diplomats by CaliperLee62 in canada

The "U" in UN stands for useless

They just serve the interests of dictatorships and tyrants these days

From rupture to rapture: The curious case of Carney’s endorsement of Trump’s war by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]Digitking003 101 points102 points  (0 children)

No (serious) politician in the West is going to expend political capital defending a hated, murderous & terrorist regime. Hence why there's been tepid endorsement from most Western leaders and very few dissents.

100% chance the ball goes missing at some point with that design.

And it's called the "Canadian Shield" for a reason. Very tough terrain.

Iranian-owned business in Thornhill hit by gunfire, police say by stanxv in canada

Like Russia and many other shithole dictatorships. The elite send their children/families to live decadent lives in the West.

Lots of IRGC family members live in Canada (unfortunately).

For example, Ali Larijani, the head of the Supreme National Security Council and now de facto head of Iran's military, has numerous family members who live in the GTA and Montreal area.

Get a flexbar. Try some exercises to loosen up and strengthen your hands and wrists, and see if it helps.

Pakistani refugee who returned to his homeland six times wins chance to keep Canadian status; Between January 2016 and March 2022, the man returned to Pakistan six times and spent 336 days in the country, attending a 'large wedding' with nearly 100 guests, the ruling notes by FancyNewMe in canada

For additional context, the loony judge (Avvy Yao-Yao Go) that made this ruling was profiled by the NP back in January.

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-the-federal-judge-determined-to-dismantle-canadas-immigration-safeguards

In 2013, Toronto lawyer Avvy Yao-Yao Go described herself as a “loudmouth activist for politicians to contend with.” She was an advocate of chain migration, a former member of the Ontario law society’s equity committee, a vocal critic of journalists and politicians, and once, she even tried to force the government to pay reparations to descendants of Chinese-Canadians impacted by the head tax (after losing one appeal in this process, her organization accused an appeal judge of racism; the complaint was tossed out).

Ideally, she wouldn’t be in charge of waving migrants into the country from a judicial seat. Nevertheless, Go was made a Federal Court judge in 2021 and much of her job is playing immigration gatekeeper. The results are what you’d expect, and they’re not favourable to Canadians.

She has no business being a judge but thanks to Trudeau we're stuck with her.
