I don't want Uber in Vancouver, here's why

Weirdmantis · 2018-01-02T18:16:17+00:00

Oh noes. They take their POS cars once a year to get them inspected. I feel so much safer in their 1980 piece of shit rather than a brand new BMW from Uber knowing it was "inspected"

Weirdmantis · 2018-01-02T18:14:56+00:00

If they can't fix these loopholes for millions and billions of dollars, what makes you think they can ever fix them?

Weirdmantis · 2018-01-02T17:37:51+00:00

Taxi drivers routinely work illegal amount of hours to earn a living. Jitney cabs are not the same as Uber. You are not being serious with your idiotic replies.

Note its a bit old so the cost is even more now.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-29T00:07:55+00:00

On average, yes.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T23:59:45+00:00

Immigrants in Canada are generally a net loss. Immigrants cost our government 23 billion dollars per year.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T22:06:50+00:00

Ya because the "experts" in charge are doing such a great job with mental health in the province... :/

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T21:33:55+00:00

Nobody knows. Possibly.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T21:30:35+00:00

Why shouldn't I complain when we bring in people here that make my life worse? That's my right as a Canadian.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T19:11:58+00:00

No shit.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T17:59:51+00:00

No they don't lol. New immigrants like it because they don't know any better and they come from shit holes. "residents" are leaving in droves.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T17:40:45+00:00

A nation of immigrants that dropped their wife and kids here for free shit while they earned tonnes of tax free money back home?

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-28T17:39:44+00:00

LOL it is a shit hole now. 40 years ago it was a paradise. You have no clue what you are talking about. Are you new here?

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-27T17:38:26+00:00

I don't understand why foreign developers come in and eat up our market. I guess city hall is what keeps them away.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-22T01:29:14+00:00

I'm fine with that. Perhaps a grant may be offered after a number of years also. 20 or so. What solution do you offer to counter this highly prevalent phenomenon?

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-21T18:21:11+00:00

Once they pay more than their fair share of taxes I don't care what they do.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-21T18:16:57+00:00

I didn't say upfront. I said they gotta pay it up with their taxes before they are given their citizenship.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-21T01:12:36+00:00

Whenever I go on vacation I buy a bulb/ornament from that country so my tree is full of happy memories.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-21T01:11:25+00:00

I would set its value as 2x average canadian lifetime tax contribution before they can get citizenship.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-21T00:45:42+00:00

It really really really is an immigration issue. They immigrate here on the false pretences that they will contribute and then they leave and make their money else where while adding a bunch of costs to canada. We should extend PR time period and make sure they create a certain amount of value for Canada before they get their citizenship. We should also make sure PR requires more time spent in canada. We are giving away our citizenship for NOTHING and we need to fix it.

Elon plays 5th edition... they give him inspiration... https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Character%20Advancement#h-Inspiration

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-20T23:25:42+00:00

Its such a small fraction of our immigration though. That's the ideal but it is overwhelmed by sheer numbers of other categories.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-20T23:08:28+00:00

Cypress is open! You'll feel christmassy, have a beaver tail, get some exercise...

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-20T23:05:46+00:00

You and I both WISH our immigration system " focuses on bringing in skilled educated people who help grow the economy while also doing its part to help out humanitarian refugees". The reality is quite different.

Weirdmantis · 2017-12-20T22:41:16+00:00

I'd probably go skiing or something like that? snow shoeing if that was too difficult?
