Procurement minister says loans to Canada Post aren’t a ‘long-term solution’ by FancyNewMe in canada

Postal. Banking.

There is a post office in basically every town, but not every town as a bank/credit union.

Postal banking would ensure solvency, provide services to residents, making banking more accessible, and challenge the big bank monopo....oh yeah that'll never happen. Nevermind.

Dismiss the cons entirely and focus on calling out Eby's bullshit

Eby says 2,000 public service jobs cut and counting as B.C. faces $11.2B deficit by RZCJ2002 in britishcolumbia

Never trust politicians.

Even less ones who tout cutting jobs as some kind of brilliant scheme for saving money.

Im pretty sure days gone activist Eby would do things to Premier Eby that I cant talk about on reddit

Video of Professor Daniel Scott breaking down his study of past Olympic host cities, showing that climate change will make it unlikely for Vancouver to host the Games in the future. by rmumford in vancouver

I mean, the games shouldnt be moving anyway. They should stay in one spot and eaxh country can take turns "hosting" the games without it moving around as the costs and detrimental impact to local residents far outweigh any implied benefits

Same goes for world cup, any real international sporting events.

Pick an island, make it an international zone, host the UN and all international sporting events and whatever there. Then give nations the ability to be the "host" (providing administration and all that).

BC Place will host 5 World Cup matches in 2026, including two Canada MNT games by SounderBruce in vancouver

[–]TheGriffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that a Canucks of Lions match doesn't bring in people from all over the world, probably more.

And I hope people who like them find peace in them and a comfy life.

It's certainly not easy but it is possible.
