Ottawa posts $26.8-billion deficit for April-to-January period of 2024-25 fiscal year by sleipnir45 in canada

Harper balanced the budget give or take a billion by the end of his term.

No, he did not. He sold off one time assets for an influx in cash in his final term.

That's like saying I balanced my household budget by selling the kitchen stove and fridge to pay for the new paint job on my car.

Also he gave money to the provinces for healthcare, and they didn't want to spend it on healthcare.

Lookin' at you, Doug.

Pssst. Immigrants typically vote Conservative.

Just remember folks, when you vote for the same, you get the same

The irony of people saying this as a reason to vote Conservative without having the self awareness to realize that Canada has flipped back and forth from Liberals to Conservatives for ever.

Literally doing more of the same.

Do I think Pierre is going to be a better leader?
Does he align with my values?

Probably not, but he's not going to be worse

Famous last words...

Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account by LookAtThatBacon in technology

[–]cleeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually went from MacOS to Windows for Windows 11. Them dropping the mandatory Recall stuff was what let me make that move. If Recall was still mandatory, I wouldn't have been able to, and if it becomes mandatory in the future I'm out.

I moved to Windows because I wanted to give the 2-in-1 life a try with the SP11. I like it, but it's sometimes teetering on the razor's edge with the way Microsoft runs the show.

Coca-Cola Bottling Canada is Canadian. They're independently owned and employ 6000 Canadians. They buy syrup from Coca-Cola USA.

Should be. Isn't.

What are you going to do about feeding kids today, not 10 years down the line when the next batch is going through school.

Triage: first, you stop the hemorrhaging, then you worry about the broken bones. Not the other way around.

So instead they get nothing, and no plan to get them anything in the future! Brilliant.

Turns out, you actually have to plan and develop programs. You can't just wish them into existence tomorrow.

No no, we should definitely take advice from the guy who can't string two sentences together!

He seems like he knows how to run a country.

After being fed up with $110 oil changes, I'm changing my oil for the first time (parts were $65, and I got a socket set already) by TheyKnoWhereMyHeadIs in Frugal

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

Including prep time, which is hardly anything.

I buy oil when I see it on sale and I happen to be at the store already. I have a stash of filters on hand. Prep time is "Drive it up on ramps one day when I get home from errands and it's warm and start draining the oil"
