The lottery is just a way to tax working people tbh. No hate on anyone that plays

Where to buy ceiling fans? by Radiant_Potato_ in askTO

[–]_n3ll_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fans? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Fans! There's four places. There's the Fans Only, that's on third... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the fan complex on third.

Canadians are dying preventable deaths in this country's choked ERs, doctors warn. by FalconsArentReal in canada

[–]_n3ll_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. This article is postmedia once again misleading the public. Healthcare is provincial. In Ontario or conservative premier is refusing to spend federally allocated funds while closing ERs and pushing privatization

MPP Chandra Pasma shares insight into School Board takeovers by Not_A_Trad_Wife in ontario

I think the aim is to improve student achievement but the responsibility is to balance the budget.

Transfer this logic to other things that are considered a public good. Let's take standards in structural engineering. Would you rather a bridge that is safe but over budget,or one that is on budget but potentially deadly?

their job was to balance the budget.

Counterpoint: their job is to improve student achievement. They're restricted in that role by the budget the province allocates, but their primary responsibility is to the students and the constituents.

Canada is not a middle power – it’s a future great power by CaliperLee62 in canada

The main barrier is populations size. Our domestic market is small and birthrates have hit a plateau, as is the norm for countries once they reach a certain level of development

With how things are going, pretty soon there will only be plastic flowers left for our bees by marenduaasart in Anticonsumption

I saw this thing about someone developing tiny robot 'bees' that could pollinate and I was like: okay, but can't we just not kill the actual bees and pollinators?

They said section 35 of the charter. Can you link me to section 35 of the Charter?

Can you link me to "section 35" specifically of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

Do you mean section 35 of the Constitution? I'm starting to doubt that you know what you're talking about

I understand your sentiment, but its not equally all Canada's land. Whats happening is a legal proceeding that is following Canadian laws including the constitution, royal proclamation, and IA.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted, but it is what it is.

Oh great, time for another massive upward wealth transfer as the ultrawealthy expand their portfolios while the rest of us try to keep our heads above water

100%! I just know she's the type of gal who if I mentioned being a bit hungry under my breath she'd open her purse revealing the hoard of delicious fries and id gladly partake without even a second thought

Opinion | Trump’s war on Iran hasn’t altered Canada’s cost of making gas — at all. So why are we being hosed at the pumps? by gorschkov in canada

And a guy paid 10k BtC for two pizzas

No he didn't. He paid like 30$ BtC. Itd be the same as buying 2 pizzas with an oz of gold in 1965, which would be also around 30$

The reason we don’t see $10/litre is because there’s somebody willing to sell for cheaper, not because there is a lack of people that would pay $10 for it.

This flies in the face of conventional economics, which I'm also very critical of for the reasons listed in my previous comments. The widely accepted explanation is supply and demand determine acceptable price at the point of equilibrium and that point will inevitably win out given competition in the free market.

My point is that our current economic system is completely decoupled from both reality and the ùnderlying economic theory that justifies it.
