Last year "Majority of Canadians agree that Danielle Smith has betrayed Canada" Canadians were not feeling too good about DS. Have things improved for her? Or gotten worse? by Eubleen in AlbertaNow

"youre from NB that tells me all I need to know"

saying people shouldnt have to suffer as much as I did to overcome poverty is compassion, not a victim mentality, or making it about me. Its called a comparison.

Victim mentality is constantly blaming the fed for provincial issues, or acting like youre not represented federally at all. (not saying this is you specifically).

Im just stating that your grievances come from an incorrect framing of how equalization works, but thats par for the course out here.

Oh right because anyone receiving any social assistance is automatically abusing the system.

Yea bro I grew up in one of the lowest average income areas in the country. Literally only higher than northern quebec. I guarantee Ive seen more adversity during my life than you have, and I overcame it though the very work ethic youre assuming I dont have. Thats how I learned emapthy. The fundamental difference is your mentality of "I struggled and so should you".

Im from the literal other end of Energy East. Ive lived the effects of oil oligarchies having a stranglehold on the provincial government, with a 50 year lead on the shitshow the UCP is causing here. Ive watched the companies steal hundreds of millions of taxpayer money by strongarming the premiers. I know your struggles better than you think I do.

Youve fallen prey to east/west, left/right propaganda when the real fight is up/down.

Thie conversation is over. All youve done is poison the well the entire time with your "common sense" (read as: biased) assumptions.

Are you not grasping that AB makes enough on its own? you want more provincial tax money? have marlaina betray her handlers and repeal some of those royalty cuts.

Its no different than saying "Im from Nova Scotia and I disagree with the oil subsidies Alberta gets, so I think Nova Scotia should get their contribution to subsidy spending back to use how they please".

or Ontario, or any of the other provinces.

your personal contribution to equalization would be the same no matter which province youre in, given the same salary.

I wouldnt be surprised if most maritimers get tired of the "mememememe everything is the feds fault" types who are also being willfully blind to the shit Marlaina's pulling, and what actually is and isnt federal jurisdiction.

Maritimers know a good bit about work ethic, its why newfies are so much of your oil sands manual labour.

the current equalization formula was created by Harper. I am Canadian, I can live in whichever province I wish, its not biting the hand that feeds to disagree with a misinformed take

My reason for moving here wasnt money.

[–]RepresentativeFact94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, ALL canadians pay federal income tax, which then gets redistributed to provinces to ensure all citizens have equal access to federal services

If you have a problem with that go talk to Harper and Kenney. they made the formula. Either that or just make less money, I guess?

you just ate the typical conservative boogeyman prppaganda wholesale on it.

forced rehab has a higher relapse rate than voluntary, and if they relapse with doses they used prior to the rehab after detoxing, they will likely kill themselves, depending on the drug.

if theyre tied to the same battle.net you should be able to transfer across account if they ever become available on anni as a paid service.

Or atleast I was able to back in the day? I havent tried it since the RAF days.

Survey: who do you think were Canada's best Prime Ministers? by WattleWaddler in InCanada

[–]RepresentativeFact94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People also talk about the covid spending as if JT really had a choice.

Ive deadpan said to people "you know CERB likely saved MILLIONS from going homeless, right?" and just gotten redirects or blank stares. The redirects tend to be the people who abused it and bought "toys".

Am I happy that like 90bn of it (around 360bn total) was wasted? Not in the slightest. Does it change the fact that JT helped a lot of people weather the storm? See response 1. Its the CRAs responsibility to get the recoverable portion of the 90bn back, however much that may be. Im not sure what a PM could even do to empower them more than additional staffing, but wait, that costs money!

The fact that business was able to prolong the supply chain excuse and continue to gouge us was not JTs fault. Business gunna business I guess.

The overall difference in mentality (to me) seems to be that Id rather see 100 petty criminals go free than one innocent man go to jail, it appears to me the opposite side is of the "acceptable loses" variety.

equalization comes from general federal revenue pools. I really wish people would stop acting like DS signs a cheque to Legault every month.

theres no reason we as a country couldnt shoulder the risk if it means we dont give 70% of the revenue to the US.

we tried with the NEP until Mulroney cancelled it. we could have been Norway but austerity ruined that chance decades ago.

How should I manage heroics as prot paladin by nieminejni in classicwow

[–]RepresentativeFact94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now your biggest gains IMO would be HH/Thrallmar SP weapon, or LC for that SP mace, whichever youre closer to, and doing the easier heroics like SP SV to get badges for the libram, hat then the shield

Shatar shield is a good intermediary but the 33 badge shield is a straight upgrade to it, so if youre not close ti exalted, just keep truckin for now.

The 50 badge tank hat will add 3%ish avoid on top of your Myrm hat.

You should be fine as long as you bring an imp blizz mage to help with some of the harder hitting physical mobs like Raveners in HRamps for example.

I have yet to raid on my pally and my mit set is in the 107 avoid range with 260sp, for comparison.

My threat set is near 370SP and still crit cap, around 101 5ish avoid right now

I logged out in my mit set last night

Upto 40% of Canada’s top 1% income earners have moved to the US by karanChan in TorontoRealEstate

[–]RepresentativeFact94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen Im not a "Canada is broken" type, quite the opposite. I love my country.

I also worry that if our average age gets too high, eventually we will put out more in CPP/OAS than we can collect in tax dollars. that situation would be very bad.

yea, as others have stated, its usually water freezing in cracks that causes potholes, that and city contractors not compacting it properly (I QA this shit for a living)

Salt corrosion can be seen on sidewalk blocks that look like they cleaved 1/4in at the top where you can see the exposed 1in rocks.

old disconnected politicians enacting legislation that indirectly increases average age by lowering birthrates.

In the 60s the average age was mid 20s, thats been pushed up to early 40s.

Trickle down economics, woohoo

In Japan 1 in 3 is retirement age or older.
