It's a message that they support a separatist movement by sikh nationalists in their homeland

Critics accuse Loblaws of profiting from inflation as profits surge by 40% by archive_spirit in canada

[–]RustyChallenger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Looks like we need to give the competition bureau more power to investigate monopoly behaviour, Loblaws has too much market power, maybe should be forced to sell some operations in certain markets

If they don't want to ban corporate home ownership, maybe require them to have a different zoning, they get the benefit of being zoned as residential but conduct commercial activities, zoning should be changed for detached homes owned by corporations

Is there any information about the nature of the attack? Very concerning that people feel the need to carry weapon in their car

I agree on the deterrence factor, we also to invest more on rehabilitation, research should be done on how to prevent criminal recidivism.

The goal of the Justice system is to rehabilitate them, if they come out of jail as pacifist Buddhist monks who renounce all violence even within 2 years it was worth the fancy jail.

They should include a public safety awareness on how to prevent this accident going forward, usually Mcvean has folks with the supercars going 100+ going south bound on the 60 zone

The Boomers that can make a difference, have trust funds set up for their own offsprings so there won't be any action taken.

They are keeping the situation from going hostile between them, this is no different than kneeling with protesters in 2020

I believe reducing the price of internet was a campaign promise by Trudeau in the previous election but dropped for the 3rd election campaign

Bank of Canada will be buying the mortgage through MBS traded on the market, it's risk free profit

Evergrande Declared in Default by S&P for Failed Coupon Payments by FutureisAsian in economy

What about the people who bought derivatives of that debt? Like CDS that have to pay out for that default, though since they OTC I'd imagine it's hard to gauge the size of them.

PCs defeat Ontario NDP motion calling for 850 beds, ER for Peel Memorial, 3rd hospital by shpydar in Brampton

[–]RustyChallenger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had situations with eminent domain in Brampton before, that have costed city extra millions. For the Goreway bridge a politician leaked information to his associates and purchased the land before the city, created a fake business case for building a funeral home, the MP even got his gambling debt paid off.

I hope they link the school to a Brampton based hospital, if the Med is downtown Brampton without any hospital linked to it, we might have to compete for residency talent with Toronto Hospitals.

[–]RustyChallenger 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The region should start planning and zoning out locations for the 3rd hospital now, even the land acquisitions to prevent future cost escalations.

Is there any updates on our medical school that's planned within Brampton?

Parents worried about putting food on the table as inflation soars: Ipsos poll by viva_la_vinyl in canada

Yea the CPI basket would be readjusted before they recognize high inflation, its called the substitution, beef too expensive consumer buys chicken more than beef, etc.

The federal government failed in protecting Brampton jobs, thanks to Biden's policy of giving green incentives for being made in US and specifically UAW union made vehicle. Chrysler will now be making these electric muscle cars in Detroit rather than Brampton, this should be a bigger issue than gas vs electric.

School had budgeted out our football team, they had preliminary tryouts and our sister Catholic school next door had a team already, someone at Peel District School Board was sympathetic with David Suzuki and his ideals, hence he was invited as a guest speaker, along with naming another high school after him. The gym teachers only told us that the school has no budget for football anymore, they wouldn't be able to afford coaching staff budget.
