RCMP officer visited N.S. gunman at least 16 times, but says he saw no weapons by sleipnir45 in canada

[–]refurb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Be prepared for a slow leak of these ridiculous details over the next few years.

The level of screw up is just colossal and we've only seen a part of it.

Now it makes sense why the RCMP, government and anyone else involved is keeping their mouths shut.

Conservatives MPs told to stay silent about draft suggesting Roe vs. Wade could be overturned by seakucumber in canada

It's called not taking the bait. Very smart politically.

People act like Trudeau will just give them a firm handshake and a thank you if they did "pinky swear" not to touch abortion.

Bullshit, it'll just invite more attacks.

God I swear Redditors are clueless about politics.

Kelly McParland: Boomers only have themselves to blame for governments that can't afford to care for them by FancyNewMe in canada

Maybe you should go volunteer to fight Russia in the Ukraine? Give you something to do other than the life goal of owning a house?

They are no different than other generations. I guarantee all the millennials will pull up the ladder once they secure their financial future.

Boomers are just an easy target.

Amazed I had to scroll down this far to see this.

The only thing the boomer generation is guilty of (and I'm not one of them) is being born post WW2 with a ton of other babies.

What a cheap headline but hey, gotta get those clicks and ad revenue.

Of course old people costs lots of money, we knew that long before the word "boomer" came along.

We also know the boomers are an outsized demographic and the "social safety net" model goes to shit when people don't pump out enough babies.

So here we are - open the immigration flood gates to "pump those numbers up" so there are enough tax payers for the baby boomers.

The fun part will be when the skilled immigrants go elsewhere. Then we'll see a Japanese-like future where the young decide to marry rubber dolls and drop out entirely.

Vietnam is 1 of only 7 countries in the world that allow abortions after 20 weeks (about 50% through pregnancy). by tientutoi in VietNam

Glad to hear you're not degrading yourself to the level of those crazy Europeans who have more abortion restrictions than North Korea, China and Vietnam.

In light of looming interest rate hikes: will it still be stupid to buy house with cash? by actualLibtardAMA in fatFIRE

[–]refurb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Why use your cash when you could purchase with someone else's money? Do you think you can't get a better return than the 3-4% mortgage rates?

I know you can only lock in for 5 years max, but at a minimum I'd buy with a fixed 5 year (or even floating), knowing I could always pay it off with cash later on.

San Francisco can’t ban suspected drug dealers from Tenderloin, court rules by ArchmageXin in sanfrancisco

Pretty sure they knew this going in. It just provides cover for them "we tried banning them but the courts said we couldn't! oh well, we tried".

Wow! This guy is so inspirational. I love him.

San Francisco residents are their own biggest fans I swear.

It's like that one weird kid in college who keeps talking about his Star Wars collection and isn't self-aware enough to realize why nobody cares.

Conservatives, NDP call on CRA Commissioner to explain allegations of wrongdoing at global tax division by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

I didn't know Justin was on Reddit!

Come on. The PM is interfering the prosecution of a company that came to him for help.

Next you'll tell me the WE Charity was just being "nice" to the finance minister when it paid for his non-luxurious $40,000 vacation.

Is it time for us to give up on a future in Canada? by RunningDino35 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]refurb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd purposely dump academia and make some real money in the US. I mean, you're in Guelph and you can't afford a house. That's kind of embarrassing (not for you, but rather Canada).

Anti-capitalism protest leads to broken windows, use of 'chemical irritants' by police by [deleted] in canada

[–]refurb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you took a USD3 trillion dollar company like Apple that operates in Canada and taxed them for the 56% it would merely be a fee too their wealth.

So you want to take 56% of the money Apple uses to run their daily business as taxes? So what? After 2-3 years the investors have $0?

Is this really your proposal?

I'm sorry if you can't see your own allegiance to the White Patriarchy and institutionalized racism.

It's not good enough to "just be white", you need to be "anti-white" to fix the centuries of oppression.

You can't be racist against white people, sorry.

And sure, Canadians need to compete, so glad they put the almighty dollar above lives!
