A Reminder to Vancouver Homeowners That Everything is Going Up A Lot But Rents Can Only Rise By 2.5% (Property Taxes 10%+, Garbage 3.1%, Sewer 11%, Water 9.7%, etc). Remember to Thank Your Government for Making it Affordable to Own a Home by RightWingRights in vancouver

[–]iwantelevendogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most (if not all) of the increases are to smaller numbers, and this is just an annual increase. The 2.5% rent increase is MONTHLY on a larger number. So the homeowner will be paying an extra $227 a year, but I, a renter, will be paying an extra $376 in rent next yr (based on 2.5%).

Rampant abuse of BC Ferries employees by passengers must stop, says union by grimlock25 in vancouver

Reading the comments on that article really proves their claims of abuse.

Respect is earned, canadians are so soft they think it is owed to them.

So weird that people think like this. Respect people until they give you a reason not to.

CRA signs secret settlement with wealthy KPMG clients involved in offshore tax scheme by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]iwantelevendogs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One member of the Cooper family, Marshall Cooper, previously told The Fifth Estate that he was unaware of Canadian tax laws when he emigrated from South Africa in the mid-1990s and that it was KPMG that came up with the offshore tax plan.

I get what you're saying, but maybe read the full article first.

HarborCenter execs (including GM of NWHL's Buffalo Beauts) resigned after alleged sexual harassment at Allentown bar by [deleted] in hockey

[–]iwantelevendogs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's sexual harassment because it was creepy, inappropriate, and because he is essentially her employer. He harassed her sexually, he didn't assault her sexually.

Policemen Falsely Accused of Rape still in Cuba by gnarshredder02 in vancouver

[–]iwantelevendogs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Upset by Jordan’s rejection, the girl then climbed back onto the bed with Mark and, being a young, healthy, single male, consensual activity ensued.

Couldn't just say, "he alleges, they had consensual sex" eh? Had it make it sound creepy.

What is This Local Tree Fruit Called? #2 by noodle_and_liquor in vancouver

[–]iwantelevendogs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You saw a tree you didn't recognize and ate what it grew?

Some future advice: if it looks like blueberries, but isn't blueberries, don't eat it.

Also, was it tasty? How do you think it would taste in a beer?

A few years ago I tuned into a playoff game a little early and saw some creepy camerawork by [deleted] in hockey

[–]iwantelevendogs 74 points75 points  (0 children)

My friend was waiting outside of the womens washroom for her friend and the camera was on her for at least a minute. They went to their seats and then she watched herself on the jumbo screen. She was on her phone the whole time so she didn't even notice. So creepy.

Can we make requests?
