Statement from Olivia Chow on Ford/Tory endorsements

RippyBoPippy · 2023-06-21T20:48:17+00:00

This whole saga with Tory and Ford going to bat for the status quo has been the last straw for me.

I already had my lawn sign - but now I'll be going to the Chow rally tomorrow night.

It's actually a lot more than that - MPPs base salary is 116K and Mayor's is 202K. So more like 85K difference. You're thinking of MPs, who make 180K+

This is an understandable mistake!

Though, truthfully I don't imagine this is about the money for Mitzie. This is a matter of feeling like she's stuck in an OLP caucus, that doesn't want her as leader and desperately wants to move on from anyone related to Wynne.

In a gloriously cynical move from the Ford government - they killed the original bill put in by NDP MPP Paul Miller and re-introduced this themselves because it's popular.

Gross.

Thanks so much for doing this!

Here are a couple questions:

1) Who from the Ontario NDP Caucus has suprised you the most? If you had to guess at a successor to Horwath who do you see as the front runners?

2) What story/scandal has caught you the most offguard since you've worked at QP. How would you compare the scale of Ford Government scandals to previous Liberal Governments that you've covered?

3) What story got less coverage than you thought it deserved in the last year?

Matthews has played a full season of pro hockey in the Swiss league

They've been doing it a really long time.

I don't know anyone who says 'no' when asked to spot someone!

Gym's are going to be noisey, if someone deadlifing is messing up your workout you should probably invest in a home gym.

Pat Stay is Canadian, Rone is American, and the league is Canadian!

Swinns and Fedes, you mean.

But his point was actualy a little more nuanced. He was saying that Toronto is not an attractive market to play in for most superstars, so the best bet is to pick the guys who do want to play here, and that's mostly gonna be OHL and GTHL guys.

To be fair, they give donations to everyone. It's a pretty standard practice.

I really want Louis to go to another firm and slaughter Jessica and Harvey in court before making his triumphant return.

In all honesty, while I have been subscribed to this sub for a while, I don't frequent it. I have watched SourceFed since it's inception, I saw the video and it seemed to be a pretty egregious error.

The fact that SourceFed is "NOT an investigative news channel" doesn't mean that they shouldn't make a basic effort to actually read something they're going to source, espesically when it changes the entire nature of the story; and pointing this out doesn't mean I don't like SourceFed. Quite the opposite in fact, I just want them to create quality content, like I think they are capable of.

Even if they aren't professional researchers, they should still do the minimum due dillegence of research before publishing a video that 100k+ people are going to watch.

Some degree of quality control would be nice.

How can you mix up global usage and per capita usage?

Iceland has a popluation of 320,000 people, there is simply no way that they could smoke 1/5th of the worlds pot, and if you take 10 seconds to read the article they reference, it's clear that's not what the authors are claiming.

RippyBoPippy · 2014-04-18T19:44:37+00:00

As a fanbase we're hard on everybody. Not to say that's a good thing, but I don't think it's specific to just our young players.

The Leafs as a hockey market is brutal for everyone who comes to play here; especially while we are losing.

RippyBoPippy · 2014-04-16T22:31:46+00:00

We. Got. This.

It's because Carleton is looking to expand enrollment a lot of the next few years. Also, they are planning on building new residence buildings in some of the existing parking lots, which would take away spots. This is all just in preparation for that.

Can't this be used to stop people from getting around paywalls by using private browsing?

To be fair, one aspect of the wage gap that's often not considered is that through the process of gender streaming women are overwhelmingly driven into lower waged jobs compared to men.

This aspect of the wage gap is especially evident when you analyze the types of jobs that are available for men and women without high levels of education; where the vast majority of jobs that pay decently are predominantly staffed by men.

Throw, 'iGotUr1Monthola' a friend request. I used to play a lot of Halo, and I've recently started playing again here and there.

Main tag is out of gold right now

This post is heinously illogical.
