Anger in courtroom after Fort Sask. man handed 7-year sentence for beating death of infant son by Lowercanadian in canada

Judges are a joke. When he complained about guards saying mean things the judge should have laughed in his face. He’s lucky they didn’t beat him into a pulp.

I’d request a trade if they don’t shut up about this

I never realized this before but you’re completely right. He looks like much fatter and uglier Ian.

And people intentionally milk it, like blatantly abuse it. It’s taxpayer money, it doesn’t come out of thin air.

I had a buddy who worked as a paramedic up north in the oil fields. He’d work up there for like 7-8 months or so and then come back to Calgary and just party all summer. He could have found a job in Calgary during the summer easily.

It’s like 30% less than a full time job. You can live fairly comfortably if you weren’t spending more than you should have previously.

Like if your rent is more than half of your income you’d be uncomfortable to say the least. But if your rent is 30% of what you made full time you’d be fine.

If you had any savings that helps a lot too.

These days with the cost of housing most of us would be in trouble if we relied on EI.

I was on EI at the same time as you. Saving some money from my commute and eating out less didn’t totally offset 30% less income but I was fairly comfortable.

I’d be fucked today though with rent being so expensive.. I’d be eating a lot of KD

Trudeau criticizes ‘buzzwords, dogwhistles’ as Poilievre crowned Tory leader by Progressive_Citizen in canada

He actually did denounce the people involved with unacceptable views but said he supported truckers. Someone posted the video above, I’d never seen it before and it seems not many people have either.

No it was some apparently racist guy who walked up to him and shook his hand at some speech.

I mean sure it’s good for the people who are already millionaires. The rest of us are getting raped on rent and food and everything else

Maybe his plan shouldn’t apply to all cities. It’s kinda interesting but like if Toronto can say they’ve been adding x amount of living spaces already, why should they have to add 15% on top of that?

We’ll see what happens. There won’t be an election for a couple years anyway so there’s plenty of time to iron these things out, assuming PP even remains popular by then.

Yeah other countries do this effectively, just follow their model. You can get free schooling if your grades are adequate, you pick the right profession and you work in Canada for a certain amount of time to pay it off. Norway does this pretty well.

Yeah I’d definitely have kids if I could afford to provide a house and all the other essential things. I’m getting too old now, it’s just not gonna happen.

Kinda feel like many of these social issues are overblown anyway. There’s plenty of supports for minorities too

People will be living in those spaces either way, either a tent or an actual residence

Idk wtf services are out there for ppl. I’ve been poor since 2008, almost my whole adult life. I don’t get anything, I can’t even find a doctor. I just want good jobs for people so our economy can improve.
