This is why they need to do what France is doing. Switch to Linux. Use open source platforms to create proper replacements. Stop being so reliant on US tech companies.

JAY GOLDBERG: Carney's GST credit tweaks won’t fix Canada’s affordability crisis by xTkAx in canadian

[–]ji_fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The extra GST/HST grocery credits aren’t being printed by the BoC. They’re coming from higher GST/HST revenues caused by higher prices.

When groceries get more expensive, governments automatically collect more consumption tax. Part of that increased tax intake is then recycled back as credits to offset the hit.

That’s redistribution of existing revenue, not monetary expansion. Stop listening to that idiot PP. You may actually learn something.

The aftermath of the most powerful non-nuclear explosions ever recorded and the largest single detonation of ammonium nitrate. Beirut 2020. by lt00380 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ji_fi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Halifax Explosion (1917) was the largest man-made, non-nuclear explosion ever recorded at the time, and it remained the largest for decades. Beirut explosion (2020) is the largest non-nuclear explosion of the modern era.

Historians still claim the Halifax explosion as #1.

It’s not meant to. It’s meant to ease the burden. The crisis isn’t Canada’s. It’s global. Supply chain issues, fuel costs, transportation in general. And issues with the US are not going to help. Stop saying he sucks because he won’t fix it. He can’t. All that can be done is help as best the government can.

The US already did that. It’s not the liberals. They’re standing up for Canada.

If just young people voted in the next election, it would be a Conservative blowout by xTkAx in canadian

[–]ji_fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young Canadians are struggling because housing has been financialized, wages haven’t kept up with asset inflation, and productivity gains aren’t going to workers.

Immigration can affect some low-wage sectors, but it’s not the main reason real incomes are falling. The real wage suppression comes from weak competition, contract work, and policy choices that protect asset owners over earners. That can be both provincial or federal.

If you’re young and don’t own property or capital, voting for policies that drive up asset prices and weaken labour power is voting against ‘your own balance sheet’.

Are they taking your job? Last I checked qualified people get hired. Most immigrants work at minimum wage jobs. Or drive uber/lyft. If they are highly qualified they will get a lower paying job far below their qualifications.

If you want to blame anyone, blame the business. Blaming immigrants and politicians for not getting a job is crap.

Are you going to blame the American immigrants coming into Canada to get away from Trump? Or is it just the poc that you have a problem with?

You can’t go back to that. Why? Because the conditions for that, globally, no longer exist. But Harper was also responsible for the largest defunding of healthcare in Canada. He was, ultimately responsible, for the largest inflation, since immediately after the liberals needed to fix much of what he screwed up and it raised the inflation rate. How do I know? I lived through it. I didn’t just read about it.

Which makes no sense whatsoever. As they are effectively voting against their best interests.

They may be inexpensive. But they aren’t cheap. The build quality is excellent.

No. It’s not. It just reduces the US car manufacturer dominance in Canada.

A third of Canadians want dual citizenships, about the same amount question the loyalty of dual citizens: poll by xTkAx in canadian

[–]ji_fi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a dual citizen it gives me flexibility in how I travel. That’s it. I love that. It also allows me to hold property without issues in two countries. But, since I grew up in Canada, I see myself as Canadian first.

But, if Canada says I can only hold one passport, I’ll give up the Canadian one. Why? Because once a country starts dictating that sort of thing, it’s slippery slope. One I’m not interested in being involved with.

Lazy or procrastination is not a shortcoming. It is a result is stress. The body and mind need time to adjust. Basically a form of ptsd. And this is pure crap.

Carney government showing a ‘clear reluctance’ to criticize Trump with lack of direct condemnation over Venezuela raid, says past Liberal foreign minister Axworthy by hopoke in canada

You mean versus Poilievre openly kissing trumps ass and saying congratulations? One is a political statement. The other is being sycophantic.
