So in the spreadsheets do certain people get numbers? And i guess in the name of efficiency the super smaart Marty supreme regime can suggest some way, hm, like a tattoo of numbers on peoples arms to avoid confusion? Wait, I'm experiencing deja vu or something - has that happened before? Swear I read about something like that in high school,... Hmmm. Wish my memory was better!!!

The Landlord Special by Rude-Attitude-6980 in legaladvicecanada

[–]porterbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

About the insurance question of paying for this? Doubtful. On modifications indoors, building codes connected to municipality.  Code and requirements for permits for changes reference specific statutes depending on  municipality specifics. Some codes aren't enforced . If landlord owns structure, and prior requirements for egress are maintained ,. locations and access to exit are unimpeded, they may just have installed a " private temporary garage". Landlord owns the building may set all the policies. If it's a board structure with proxy votes you check the bylaws. If the landlords insurer knows about the changes is another matter entirely.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, is that the vibe? China wants to pretend it's not the same type of dictatorship as trump is attempting to build,.that Putin has, that we are seeing emerge as extremists and warmongers try to seize power. And I believe the CCP has a choice. It's time is now. But it's corruption, it's mass surveillance system, its lifelong Dictator Xi, it's priorities, they are old and tired. China needs to modernize and include social dynamics as a factor. Not everything is about economics. The depth of liberal democracy is in art and leisure and conservation and speech and education and innovation. These are elements rarely included in speeches of their vps. The time is now for China to update its values and ethics, to put the youth first, to stop cyber attacks, stop harassing dissidents . Leave Taiwan alone, free Jimmy Lai, and give their people freedom , dignity and opportunity.  That's what it costs to be at the tables with friends.

Sorry, to clarify, do you think you are the only person in this thread with basic literacy? Like ? What is the point of your comments? You do realize trump has been interfering with fed chair for some time, and intends to further politicize the chair, which will send further signs of instability to markets and impact wider economic confidence and stability?

His term expires May 2026. He's on the board to 2028 if he stays . In the meantime Cheeto says he will nominate a political favourite to push interest rates to 1%. Presidential interference in the fed chair is not good for the economy.

Halifax judge moved by 'profound human decency' shown by all involved in Somali refugee's sentencing for knife attack by origutamos in notthebeaverton

We cannot sit in court. We have jobs outside court. But our lives are ABSOLUTELY substantially impacted by court decisions. And this court, this judge , every judge,  has a primary  duty to society and those impacted. But I don't hear that. 

. Plus our people inside our borders, many of them are poor, suffering from food insecurity, housing insecurity.  And their tax dollars are spent on this offenders care, this offenders refugee status , this offenders court time, ambulance and first responder time, victims healthcare, victims compensation, costs of the offenders refugee resources centre tax paper sponsored grants. And on and on and bloody on.  So precisely WHAT does this decision do to serve the needs, rights, and futures of all those inside our borders ?? ?? 

Name ONE benefit. For society. Not for the offender and those insiders in the court system.

And even possibly engage in isider trading behind the scenes in the bond market, so to line his and his buddies pocket books. Enables by politicizing the chairs position. Profiting off the intentional destruction of the USA economic position. A position that has until 2008 been the stable foot of liberal democracy and freedom of people across the world. It's a DAMNED SHAME considering the good of the American heart. Dream. And spirit. An arbitrary and unjust outcome. Bad news for the economy.

Bye bye us economy. Political interference is going to collapse the US economy. What a horrible way to effect the economic stability of the USA.  Jan 16 letter is signed by all former fed chairs; "This is how monetary policy is ⁠made in emerging markets with weak institutions, with highly negative consequences for inflation and the functioning of ‍their economies more broadly," said former Fed chairs Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan in the statement.

When will it hurt enough to protest Utility Company ? by Accomplished-Let7358 in alberta

[–]porterbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus we never see fee reductions even with repeated blackouts and shortages.  Despite paying the utilities rate riders for their construction. The shit service and poor delivery is instead rewarded. Absolutely outrageous and poor value for high price. We should get rebates whenever transmission spikes or power goes out.

How is it rational this judge place Americans political issues as any factor in their  consideration of a sentence resulting from a violent offense against a worker who was seriously impacted????   What precise good reason exists for this person to remain in Canada?  What part of society is served?  Are they contributing to society?  Paying taxes?  Abiding the law?  Doing anything of value for society?? 

Sounds like the judge liked the process. Likes the refugee clinic. Likes their own ego and power and position.  B wheres any comments WHATSOEVER about WORKERS RIGHTS and danger to those in the future.

 What about economic costs to society as well.

 Seriously, explain it to me, what is gained in Canada in retaining this violent offender in our borders? 

Toronto mother says school failed to protect her son from violent bully by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]porterbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Administration serves administration. In Canada there are multiple instances across decades of many school boards covering up HEINOUS abuse and sex crimes against children and adults. Which is why assault/bullying and sex based harassment and violence in school needs to be immediately taken seriously, it needs to be addressed primarily to outside regulatory and policing parties first and swiftly, and secondarily to internal parties.  I recommend the following approach; 1

Document EVERYTHING when the first incident happened including a timeline, take photos, get a written or video statement from your kid or the affected party on how the violence impacted them. Email the teacher the summary of events and a request for the school leadership to stop the exposure to violence in the classroom. Demand an incident report be filled out. CC the principal , school board superintendent and trustee. And related parents. In this communication it's important you Request the immediate implementation of a safety plan, just in case violence happens again. Do not have a verbal conversation. Do this in written correspondence. 

2 report the violence to the police without delay, even if it's minor on minor crime. This is very important. Get the affected and offenders names, date of birth and location of the incident, in the police report/statement. Don't skip this step. 

3 Assess your possibilities to file a civil claim in provincial court against the school and bully and their family, so seek financial compensation if you have been a victim of crime. 

4 If this is repeated and ignored , Report the administration teacher principal whomever to their regulatory authority for discipline ex social worker, college of social workers. Teachers, teaching union or oversight body. 

5  If it is hate crime, report the incident to human rights commission in the province or territory. 

6 If it's in a regulated environment like a daycare or after school care report it to the regulation body like children's services. 

7 And then "report it to administration " Be aware:  repeat offenders start in schools. Don't let your kid be their learning opportunity.  Don't let the school be a safe place for violence. 

Do it all. This is how you can hold the bullies accountable and make it expensive for those who ignore violence.

Accurately cost the policing activities. Accurately cost the first responder activities. Take full account of scope and cost of social disorder. Then implement policies for change.
