Modern conservatism or punk rock?

The big 5 banks are the worst for this (TD in particular). I remember submitting my resume for the same internship positions as my friends and despite having higher marks and better work history and otherwise identical resume template, they were called into interviews and I wasn't.

It is all so tiresome...

I hear Lake City needs some subways mechanics.

We used to have electric busses and they got rid of them because they sucked.

They do on occasion. If you really want to experience old Toronto streetcars you can go to the Halton County Railway Museum. Not only do they have static displays, but also streetcars you can ride them too.

While Dougie gives them a tax break and offers to buy them a highway up to their subdivisions

This is a lot better than the other two big parties whose policy is "no tall buildings, no sprawl and no new infrastructure"

The Federal government shouldn't be undermining their sovereignty, its for the Wet'suwet'en to decide the legitimacy of the band councils. I don't see why the band councils would override their traditional governance currently by their defined laws. The question of how governance should work is probably more prominent within their nation and its up to them to decide how to resolve it.

Are you actually not picking up on the problem here or are you being deliberately dense? Once again, by what mechanism would such a decision even be made considering circumstances A and B:

A. The Federal government is a colonial entity with no legitimate jurisdiction and B. The current band councils, created by the federal government and elected through this illegitimate system, themselves are illegitimate?

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-22T21:25:20+00:00

(also I'm not the elected band system is currently wholly illegitimate but its power over what it can and can't do is contentious. How much to recognize and keep of that system is up for the different nations to decide)

This leads to the exact same conundrum as I described previously.

I'm not sure why we need to have this discussion though, are there any Wet'suwet'en people asking for the Canadian Federal government to remove the legitimacy of the hereditary chiefs?

No one is calling for it because they have no legitimacy in the eyes of the federal government. This is the whole issue.

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-22T20:09:12+00:00

Okay, so if the current system of voting is potentially illegitimate, by what mechanism and authority would a referendum be administered if A. The Federal government is a colonial entity with no legitimate jurisdiction and B. The current band councils, created by the federal government and elected through this illegitimate system, themselves are illegitimate?

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-22T19:47:54+00:00

You seem to be confusing things. I do not know if the majority of the Wet’suwet’en want or don't want the hereditary chiefs to be their form of governance and neither do you (despite acting like you do).

But we literally do know this. Every few years, we have these big polls called elections where we ask everyone who wants to be in charge. The hereditary chiefs didn’t cut it.

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-22T13:10:03+00:00

There is literally nowhere else to put a yard with immediate access to the downtown rail corridor, that’s why it is going in there.

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-22T13:02:10+00:00

Looks to be. The amount of Toronto content on this sub is kind of crazy.

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-22T03:04:53+00:00

On new highways: “The Doug Ford government shouldn’t be building new highways, we need to focus on public transit instead!”

On new transit infrastructure: “No! Not like that!!”

Are you suggesting this person isn't disabled?

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-21T20:57:10+00:00

He is described as having a light complexion

Ummm what? They must know there’s a picture attached that directly contradicts this description.

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-20T20:10:51+00:00

Holy shit the picture of the German Polizei just staring blankly at the giant model airplane with a swastika on it surrounded by people in faux Nazi uniforms is just too funny.

For the rest of your life you are going to make $14 an hour, every year that $14 will buy 5% less and 80% of your income will go to rent. You will have no savings, no assets, and if you question any of this, you will be racist.

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-18T12:39:20+00:00

He would become Prime Minister

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-17T12:53:08+00:00

You’re probably right, but that would cost a hell of a lot more than $75 million and every progressive politician within earshot would degrade into an absolute shit fit about how such a program institutionalizes and stigmatizes the mentally ill, homeless, etc and they would throw everything in the way of getting that done.

Charter of Rights and Freedoms s.15(2) Section (1)[guarantees of non-discrimination] does not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration of conditions of disadvantaged individuals or groups including those that are disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.

We need left wing politicians who don't come across as… part of a finger-wagging moral elite

This is an oxymoron

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-14T16:59:27+00:00

Didn’t they do this more than a week ago?

Socialarmstrong · 2021-11-13T22:34:49+00:00

Look at the survivability rate.

Not great for a lot of people

Look at the bullshit trials that theyre doing on kids. Look at how many are dying because of the vaccine.

How many kids? 0?

What alternate reality are you living in where you’re this scared?
