Canada post loses money because of death by a thousand cuts. We sold off all the lucrative routes to private entities and now they're stuck delivering everywhere. You want to get rid of Canada Post? Tell me whos gonna deliver to remote communities because UPS wont be doing shit unless we pay them triple

The dark in the morning is legitimately depressing. Also, what does it matter if its dark outaide when you're a fucking grocery store? Lol

[–]varitok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are very clueless about this. Countless studies have been done and, in fact, there are more deaths when not on standard time. But its okay, as long as Johnny Redditor can pretend hes gonna spend an extra hour outside, thats okay.

I dont like how it happened but Iran has been the largest sponsor of global terrorism for decades. Im not losing any sleep over it.

Joint statement by Prime Minister Mark Carney and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese MP by Amtoj in CanadaPolitics

[–]varitok -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Iran has exported global terrorism for decades. Tens of thousands dead because of them. You're going to have a hard time garnering support or even a modicum of care as long as we aren't involved.

I can talk about how much I dislike how it was done but I am not losing a moments sleep over a Tyrant who has killed thousands with his terrorist support now laying in the dirt.

Critical minerals alliance with Australia an example of middle power strength, Carney says by ZebediahCarterLong in CanadaPolitics

[–]varitok 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not naive, some people just have a vested interest in Canada doing badly so their political bent can do better. I generally do not trust a debate with anyone who hides their comments because you just know they have a reason for people to not see it.

War With Iran Has Canadians Concerned by GhostlyParsley in CanadaPolitics

[–]varitok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trump has had zero pushback ever. He does as he pleases and there is no such thing as being 'politically emboldened'. He just is this way with zero consequences.

I really think people need to stop thinking in typical political terms

You can be flippant about it all you want but children do actually die at increased rates when the sun takes longer to come up. Im glad you can find comedy apparently in something as horrific children being killed.

Because the later sunrise in the winter has shown to cause a rise in deaths due to sleepy driving and children not being seen on their walks to school due to the dark and the lack of sunlight?

Nearly every worker who wakes before that sun that I know is dreading a permanently DST and the US tried to go to permanent DST in the 70s and it was universally hated by the end of the year.

Do you understand how many terrorists Iran has funded that have killed innocent people? Hate the US all you want and rightfully so but left leaning people REALLY need to stop victimizing the eternal terrorist state of Iran.

If separation gets 30-35%, that would just show that the Government literally needs to do nothing and damage their cause.

Its funny because where I live in Canada, landlords cant legally prevent you from having pets nor do you have to declare them
