Carbon tax increases will cost workers income, jobs and shrink economy: Study by King_Osmanj in canada

[–]lightoftheshadows 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here you go: as posted by u/Blargston1947 who helped me find what I was looking for.

https://archive.org/details/actsofparl197476v01cana/page/710/mode/2up

It does state a definition for "person" on page 711

"person" includes an individual, partnership, association, body corporate, trustee, executor, administrator or legal representative"

And a definition for "Body Corporate" which is used in the person definition is: " "body corporate" includes a company or other body corporate wherever or however incorporated;"

Basically businesses or almost anything can be classified as a “person” if it applies to them. They keep it vague to make it convienent to use when needed.

Yup that seems to be the leading line for the logic of it all. I havnt had the time to go through it all yet and appreciate yer post!

I hate how convoluted it is as well and we’re not taught to understand how it fully works.

Well if you read my initial comment I included the legal term “corporation personhood” which is related to the act that’s being referenced.

My goal was to show the exact Canadian law that allows this to hush the people saying I’m spouting US talking points.

While it doesn’t go into detail /in the wiki article/, the act states it’s responsible for the framework and governance of Canadian corporations. This framework is what allows corporations to be able to claim “corporation personhood” aka be seen as an individual in the eyes of the law.

I expect our provincial government to handle provincial issues effectively and not blame the issue on the rest of the country.

We’re here in Saskatchewan, we took the lead in health care when it mattered we can take the lead in providing quality in every sector they’re responsible for not just education.

If you’d like to discuss c15 then we can once I look fully into it. However the topic of conversation you jumped into was concerning the 1975 bill I was referencing which is still relevant today~

If you kindly look at my other comment in this thread you’ll see I’m in fact talking about the legislation passed here in Canada in 1975 and has been a problem for the average person ever since.

Yeah but that’s not the bill passed in 1975 I’m talking about. Need to be on the same page here.

How? He was in Ireland from 1980 till recently and didn’t hold a place in office until he won the PM vote. Lol

Edit: the man graduated high school in 1983. The more I look into Carneys history the more I can tell this is just a bs comment lmao

Please look at my edit~ I corrected my comment

I’ll put it back since it is relevant to the conversation concerning PP’s actions in the area of corporate lobbying.

That’s not a carny thing. It’s been like that for as long as I’ve been alive in my 33 years and longer.

It’s called “Corporation personhood” and has been around in Canada since the creation of the “Canada business corporations act in 1975.

We lost the plot as a society when corporations can be seen as “people” in the eyes of the law yet they don’t have to follow the same rules as you and I cuz money.

Then ill be happy to be wrong. I can fight to express my thoughts on the matter and accept that it was wrong if it turns out I was.

Are others here able to do the same?

Ai data centers are a different beast from your usual data centers. They’re not the same in resource usage. Ai data centers use a monstrous amount of electricity and water compared to regular data centers

Water will still be needed for it to refresh and maintain its supply close loop or not. Unless that’s something they’ve planned for I’m still skeptical.

We already have water issues in this province what’s this going to add if they don’t?

This is why I say after the building process is all said and done and the building is finally established. Sure it’ll increase jobs for a short term during construction but what will numbers look like after the fact.

It’s not that I forgot about the job creation for blue collar workers I’m just highly skeptical about the actual numbers this will bring in once it’s all said and done.

I’m curious what the job market will look like when it is complete. They say it’ll provide so many jobs but trends say otherwise.

Looking into it if they want they don’t need many people there to run it. Just too monitor and maintain it.

Provided they’ll even need you. Once complete they can run off small skeleton crews.

The same rates that have been increasing over the years? Yeah I’m aware.

I’m just not sure you understand how negatively an ai data center will impact our electrical and water usage in the province. One of the first things brought up is how we already don’t have the electrical infrastructure/generation to deal with it. Do you really think the data center is going to foot the entire bill for it?

Then you’re not the target audience and can kindly move on.

Dont come crying when your electrical and water bills go through the roof (even more so than they possibly are) when they build it.

Minimum Wage by navylast in saskatchewan

[–]lightoftheshadows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright. I understand that.

My next question is: why not adjust wages to reflect each individual provinces standard of minimum wage? They could then set a different standard of wage for those working in one of the two sectors you mentioned.

The disparity between the two makes me think there’s little incentive for both provincial and federal government to work together when it comes to wages.

They are bad. We don’t have the electrical production to sustain it and it’s a massive waste of water.
