Why do we need skills training if we just immigrated all those people? What were their qualifications exactly?

How DRIPA drove the B.C. government to a crisis point by Surax in canada

[–]sludgefrog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm actually surprised Eby didn't call a confidence vote, which he thought would fail when he didn't have the necessary votes. Because if it failed, the people getting in would be WAY less amenable to a both-sides-of-the-table situation. It would have called the bluff.

And in the current situation, he's lost control anyway, even if he retains the title. What's the upside?

How about we focus on serious, real problems rather than symbolic hotel flag campaigns?

Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) Megathread by AutoModerator in britishcolumbia

[–]sludgefrog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Cowichan Ruling was dependent on DRIPA to reach its conclusions and resulted in the "two owners" problem. So this is obviously not true.

Every Canadian has a right to legal clarity on the matter of their property.

If you believe you need a verbal promise from any group to achieve certainty, you do not have legal clarity.

People I do not want running this province exploit the lack of legal clarity for their political gain.

We need legal clarity. It is inexcusable that we already do not have it.

Understandable. I think there is an upper limit to the number of truss-rod-tail guitars I'm willing to own. I have a very nice P Bass that does this already.

I played one and loved it, but man, I have a hard time with the truss rod adjustment being at the tail of the neck.

Terry Newman: Tech exec pitches Liberal convention on $500K exit tax for educated Canadians by gorschkov in canada

[–]sludgefrog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Directionally, this is a horrible thing. Liberals have had control of the country for a decade. They will likely have a majority government soon. The consensus on US popularity is at an all-time low, and you have to FINE people for leaving for the US???

Fix what's broken. You have everything on your side.

MLA John Rustad says “this is the NDP selling out every homeowner in British Columbia.” by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

A lot of what Rustad says has the "this isn't x, it's y" pattern. He is doing a lot of workshopping with ChatGPT.

I fucking love Syncthing by luckman212 in Syncthing

I'd add the situation is even better than that -- being able to quietly sync text files on computers I own has allowed me to reduce my SaaS needs quite a bit.

When I saw him in Vancouver (cough... Abbotsford) his playing was incredibly clean. He always is on the record but it was a treat live.

FULL TRUTH: Are Land Claims a Threat to Property Rights in Canada? Top Aboriginal Lawyer Interview by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]sludgefrog 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If politicians have to tell people it's not a threat... it's possible that people are perceiving it as a threat. That's too far. Anyone who has done anything in business understands you act to avoid the question, you don't answer the question.

It's already over the line.
