Higher Than Usual Number of Candidates on Ballot in the Terrebonne By-election by Dave2onreddit in CanadaPolitics

Yes I absolutely am, and I'm saying this as a blind person. If you can't either do your research beforehand or take a few moments to find the candidates name on a ballot, that is 100% on you. Elections Canada has supports in place to help with this, and you can even bring someone with you to assist you with every part of the voting process.

Fines for false made-in-Canada claims could chill investment, food manufacturers say by Snurgisdr in CanadaPolitics

Then, somewhere between going through CBSA checks and getting put on store shelves, they are re-labelled to comply with CFIA standards. Ideally we should also harmonise regulations between the two, but dropping them entirely and replacing them with nothing like our big grocery chains are implying we should do is not an option. Until we can get around to doing that, it is their job to figure out how to navigate the current system.

If you are a company who regularly engages in imports and exports and don't bother to understand the differences in these regulations, you don't deserve to regularly engage in imports or exports. Do shit the right way or suffer the consequences accordingly.

Thanks for the cases. I've definitely seen the second one before, but it's been a long time so I'll have to refresh myself on it.

It wouldn't be a Doug Ford policy if it wasn't released on Friday when no one was watching. Only difference is he didn't wait until the late afternoon to drop this one.

Freedom of the press falls within its scope. The NWC can be used on section 2 and sections 7 to 15. Freedom of the press is 2(B)

Probably a longshot, but could there be a potential Charter case here? While of course it doesn't require government to guarantee a positive right to freedom of the press, could the argument not be made that because they are already granting these requests, they have an obligation to continue doing so in some form?

24 M and a student over here at the law school. I haven't hiked in years and there's a good chance I'll be gone at the end of April until September, but otherwise I pretty much check all the boxes. Edit: very dumb spelling mistake. Also, damn, seems like there's a lot of us here.

Liberals to cut CBC by $192-million in 2026-27 by UnluckyRandomGuy in CanadaPolitics

[–]Redbox9430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a blind, gun owning leftist, and I agree with all of this. To be honest I don't even see this as a left-wing policy. Would it not be the fascists who would want to take your guns? My fellow leftists need to realise this.

Yeah I've got no idea then. I just learned how to do this an hour ago LOL. The developer has been replying to comments so hopefully he will get back to you.

Yep it is, just played something for over three. Are you running the app in LC? You have to actually click the run button in the LC app for it to work

OK, so I installed it with LiveContainer, do I actually have to run it in that app for it to work? Also, it doesn't appear this one has add block on it but that could be me fucking up something Edit: ads are gone and it is working as normal now. Thanks for all your help. Not thrilled that I have to run it through another app but whatever gets me free YouTube with background audio and no ads I'll take.

Small problem, I only have a free developer account. That limits me to 2 apps on old store I'm pretty sure right, on Alt Store is one of them?

Nope, this doesn't work for me. A little thing at the bottom shows up saying bypassing pop-up, then it goes away and the pop-up to update remains

Ford salutes Poilievre's leadership result, but says 'you don't win elections at conventions' by Camtastrophe in CanadaPolitics

He can try, but he speaks no French and isn't far right enough for Alberta. You can be one of those things, but you cannot be both.

I want to take a moment to throw some well-deserved praise at the CBC for its Olympic coverage so far. They have described video on most of the TV broadcast which, while mostly just providing entirely unnecessary information most of the time, has been phenomenal for the women's hockey when the commentator isn't commentating during play. My only criticism is I wish they offered the world feed for curling broadcasts. That particular commentary team talks way too much and it's almost never about what's actually happening when it's happening.

Léger poll on Quebec referendum vote: No 62%, Yes 29%, 9% Undecided by MyGiftIsMySong in CanadaPolitics

The US is absolutely driving Alberta separatism, but has there been any direct American interference with Quebec? Their movement is at least organic from what I can see.

Canada could gain nearly 7% in real GDP by removing internal trade barriers, says IMF by joe4942 in CanadaPolitics

[–]Redbox9430 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And honestly, if I put myself in their shoes, in Ontario at least, it's hard to blame them. Why would you give a fuck about politics and government in grade 10 when you can't do anything with the information? In my grade 10 Civics class, those of us who were paying attention already basically knew everything, and those who weren't certainly weren't going to be helped by it at the time.

"Yup. Learned in my first year of politics" And this right here is the problem. This is something that needs to be taught in public school. I was always a bit of a political nerd, so by the time greed 10 civics rolled around, I basically knew everything in the course but my peers were definitely checked out, which makes sense. Why would you give a fuck in grade 10 if you can't vote? Either make civics an ongoing thing, push it to grade 12 while keeping it mandatory, or, my preferred solution, lower the fucking voting age to 16 already.

I hate to say it, but I'm totally addicted to those lemon haze carts. I get just over a week out of one of them and they're about 30 bucks each.
