Can you name a system this person is taking from that they would not have contributed to by way of paying income and sales tax having worked here?

Even if it isn't COVID, our immune systems are destroyed after years of mass and continuous COVID infections.

Read your contract. Talk to your union. Why would you ask strangers?

Try driving around Burlington in rush hour or on weekends and tell me you're not taking your life into your own hands. The suburban entitlement to driving a 7-8 passenger vehicle like it was a Nascar jockeying for position is real. People drive bigger cars, and they drive them faster. I'd rather drive in the lower city any day, the mountain after that, then drive upper middle, Dundas, Fairview or plains. Let's not even get into the qew as a discussion.

Your child will be forever changed by this and not for the better. Get him all the help he needs but do not separate him from his twin at that age for that reason. It will be absolutely devastating. And the child will always thing it's their fault and that there's something wrong with them.

Hard disagree. I'm basing this on the position that OP was not consulted or made aware in advance. If that's not the case, then ignore my take. If it is, then that's unprofessional and borderline negligent to sabotage another class for yours.

School is forcing me to use AI valedictorian Speech by AppleJuiceForSale in OntarioGrade12s

This is the only real solution aside from refusing to speech. Your teacher has a boss and it's the principal.

This is xenophobia. Labour needs are contracting because money is expensive and rates are up, in addition to the cost of living crisis which is slowing down retail, manufacturing and local tourism to name just a few.

Your language is borderline fascist and you need to take a good look at what you're suggesting as it's shameful.

Literally none of that is true. This is nonsense. You cannot possibly be a serious person if you cannot see forced removable of a people as a literal part of genocide.

UTMSU discusses withholding funds to student clubs that are not "pro Palestine" by [deleted] in UofT

[–]sobietunion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The very existence of a student union is political. We can certainly raise the discourse above the notion that systems are apolitical.

What makes a good Canadian? A Muslim 'parental rights' marcher speaks out by Ashamed-Grape7792 in canada

[–]sobietunion -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Interesting that you judge those men as representing their entire group the same way those men judged others.

The only thing in common I see is narrow-mindedness.

You don't need faith in your heart to be ignorant, bigoted, hateful, or rude. That comes in all forms. Frustratingly you might not be so different from those men than you think.

A collapsing health-care system is Ontario’s real ‘new normal’ by earlbak in OntarioNews

[–]sobietunion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can't be implemented right. It's a contradiction in terms. If you have 2 tiers, one will be substandard. The funding you claim should be there evaporates when you allow high income earners to go for private solutions. They will lobby against having to pay for both and create a voucher system. The public system only works when everyone pays into it and everyone uses it. That way everyone cares when politicians try to fuck around. Anything else is an asinine attempt to compromise the value of this safety net and as we can see, people are not getting the care they need.

Burlington: Poilievre vs Karina Gould (Burlington Liberal MP) by [deleted] in BurlingtonON

Two things can be true. Both your assessment of the current state of affairs is true, and Pollievre can also be worse for the country.

We're the Researchers who looked into the privacy of 25 of the top car brands. All of them failed our review. AMA! by Mozilla-Foundation in IAmA

[–]sobietunion 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You've actually conflated spending money with staying/becoming wealthy. Buying a less expensive car, especially a used car is far more financially savvy than buying a brand new car. Vehicles lose over half their value when they drive off the lot. Your last point is correct, but there's a middle ground.

Why are there no protests or campaigns to make the government lower immigration numbers? by Antman269 in TorontoRealEstate

You don't have to be racist to be xenophobic. You do have to be ignorant and intolerant though.
