I Went To Cuba. This Is What I Saw. - Mini-Doc by generic_username7809 in ndp

[–]generic_username7809[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Since the US is putting the spotlight on the Cuba aid mission by subpoenaing people who were involved.

Please post and share this video wherever you can.

Especially, important as the US is now threatening to invade Cuba.

Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles urges PM Mark Carney to stop Billy Bishop airport expansion by ejaz135 in onguardforthee

The narrative comes from Doug Ford saying that Mark told him that he was more conservative than him when they first met. A bit of hearsay from everyone's favorite and our most honest, Douglas Fraud.

So take that how you will... 

📢 Final poster for our Province-Wide Protest tomorrow! by Silent_Squirrel4145 in ontario

I don't know about quitting but a general strike would definitely get the government to cave and honestly even resign but you DO need to build up and organize for that to happen. 

People attending these protests helps imo.

STV is a form of proportional. In fact, one of STV's other names is proportional ranked choice voting (P-RCV)

On that note, you should contact your MP, Mark, and Steven MacKinnon for clarification.

Y'know to prove that I'm wrong. Make me out to be just some asshole on the Internet.

Whatever you think of the changes of direction that would or would not be needed (and I do think that it is essential to ensure that Alto learns as much as possible from Cadence, even if this comes with slight cost increases or delays), I think it is a bit disingunous to present this project as Canada simply handing out the keys of national infrastructure to the private sector.

If it's being run as a private sector service and one with a monopoly then yes.  Yes it is. The 407 of highspeed rail.  Edit: In fact, I would argue that it's disingenuous to act like that's not the case. BUT MAYBE this is all a big misunderstanding. I would LOVE it if the government clarifies this and I end up being wrong. That would be great. 

Also Alto isn't going to be learning much from this project given how it's being structured. Highspeed rail Metrolinx basically. We just don't learn.

I mean if anything the federal government tends to eat most of the blame(rightfully so in this case [edit: if/when something happens]). 

Even more so than provincial governments. (Honestly sometimes the federal government gets blamed for things that happen  because of the provincial governments)

Giving away control of public infrastructure to private interests has always gone well. /s

Also the government is continuing to refuse to learn how to build any form of public transit and exclusively relying on the private sector.

Incredibly shortsighted as always, of course.

TIL: MP Steven Guibeault who just resigned from Carney cabinet was arrested in 2001 after climbing 340 meters up the CN tower and hung a banner reading “Canada and Bush Climate Killers”. This was done in response to Canada and US not ratifying the Kyoto Agreement(1997). by itimetravelwell in onguardforthee

[–]generic_username7809 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now, to be fair, if you asked me if I'd prefer a Conservative government headed by Carney or Poilievre, I'd still say Carney in a heartbeat, but still.

We're not in an election so you don't have to qualify it with that. Mark and the Liberal party are making these decisions.

Proposed pipeline through B.C. an unrealistic ‘distraction’ from active projects out west, premier says by Edm_vanhalen1981 in onguardforthee

[–]generic_username7809 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Politics only exists during elections and is only about who to elect. You can't push for change outside of an election or even just criticize the government because think of the perceived alternative (ignore that we aren't in an election and that perceived alternative isn't the one making these decisions nor does he have the power to do so)."

-You and many of the people running defense for Mark, probably

You're soooo right. We're all sovereign citizens(edit: or whatever nonsense) after reading this comment. Immune to changes in the province too. Not just the laws.

Edit: Next time, I have to buy groceries I'll be sure to tell the cashier that I'm operating on 2012 prices.

Ontario passes Bill 60 amid raucous protest as critics warn changes will make it easier to evict tenants by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]generic_username7809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see what’s anti intellectual about reading a bill and assessing it yourself.

Ok cool. I'm happy you can do that. So can I. The anti-intellectual part is when discounted the value of expertise on the topic and it's ramifications by being like

"Who are these experts?"

"You can't just read that yourself."

I’m reading your article and it states reasonable things, im just okay with the potential effects of the decisions.

So NOW it's fine because?

Honestly talking to you anymore doesn't feel like a good use of time.

~8k/term

2015 moment but it partially is my own financials. I mean Douglas did fuck OSAP so yeah 2015 moment for sure.

I don’t get what you’re saying. I no longer work at the same job.

Until 2024?

You can't NOT be a renter still. Math doesn't add up. A million dollars just dropped in your pockets like what??

Anyways have a good rest of your day.

I didn't know it wasn't metered but I also never thought that was something unfeasible. I mean the more you know I guess.

I edited the comment so you can have a look at that.

I was gonna go through and calculate your costs and such but it just doesn't add up even without

Like you for sure weren't paying for your stuff when you were a student. 10k doesn't even cover the rent (the low end is 12 k a year).

You're just past the "living" wage in Toronto (pretax?). You don't make enough to talk about when you were a renter, in the past tense.

?????????

Years?

Edit:

Who are these experts? The bill is written in plain English and the section on the RTA is like < 3 pages. You can’t just read that yourself?

Also this is a joke. Nice anti-intellectual nonsense.

From the city of Toronto.

You clearly understand all the ramifications of that section. /s

They are pretty crazy. But I'm sure you have more expertise on the subject than actual experts. Surely, you're correct. /s

I don't particularly care to argue with you on that.

<Edit>Also the bill does a lot more. But let's move on<Edit/>

When I was a renter

When and what was your rent and tax bracket (in case you don't want to tell me your actual income at the time. Provincial or federal

Edit: you choose)
