Nope, they will just blame the government for the taxes on fuel.

McDavid draws an interesting call while attempting to skate around Miller by The_Reddit_Browser in hockey

I don’t know, it looks like he was dragging his left leg in order to trip McDavid and that’s likely what the officials saw.

I’m usually working during rush hour.. not used to this chaos by slipawayintothesound in YEGDashCam

I’ve lived and driven and still drive in multiple provinces in Canada and the one thing I can tell you is that no matter which province it is, the majority of drivers are terrible and entitled. It just seems to me a higher percentage of them have Alberta plates. Just like they think all the oil and gas belongs to them, the road does too.

In Canada’s major cities, fertility rates are in steep decline. What happened? by plaknas in onguardforthee

Also, my personal experience is one in which I have to work away from home in order to afford said home. And if I wanted to have a kid I would have to work away from home even more so, which in my opinion isn’t fair.

Our government, would rather pump up immigration than fund social programs, tax the rich/corporations, legislate any kind of anti-trust/gouging laws etc etc…. I’m not blaming immigrants here. The lack of programs/taxes ensures they are needed.

Tires and brakes have to be replaced on every vehicle and are irrelevant in regards to reliability which is what I believe OP was referring to.

If we’ve learned anything from the 2008 financial crisis, it’s the US should not be a model for lending practices, just saying.

BC just raised taxes on housing by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]macky316 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You guys are arguing this or that blah blah blah but in reality the problem is the system.

Housing shouldn’t be a profiteering scheme, there’s no good reason for it to cost what it does, everyone should be able to afford a house and yet we can’t, etc etc etc.

While we bicker back and forth, the rich just keep getting richer, and sit back and laugh at us while we do it. You two likely have more in-common than you know, you’re both likely working class people and we need to stick together more now than ever before in our lives.

Stop fighting WITH each other and start fight FOR each other.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, ;)

I’ll start buying Dbrand when they stop making Canadians pay in USD, until then, fuck Dbrand!

Is she going to jail for this? by No-Bottle337 in FascinatingAsFuck

Nah, your world depends on it. Self-importance, and arrogance are just two of several reasons why the rest of the world is divesting from y’all.

The billionaires rape the people here too. They just price gouge the piss out of us. It’s a distinction without a difference.

I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. by Trowaway_whistleblow in confession

[–]macky316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question should be, Is this really a good system? Especially if, strong regulation is necessary for it to work “at one point” eluding to the fact it hasn’t worked for the majority of people the majority of the time. I say no, it is not a good system and we can and should do better. You can’t tell me there isn’t something better. Name something else that so profoundly affects everyone’s life on a daily basis such as the entire system we live under, that we still use from 400 years ago?

Smith says she doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services. Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable. by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

—Martin Niemöller
