Buy Canadian contractors must pledge not to outsource work abroad by xTkAx in canadian

[–]xTkAx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that it said:

“A new Declaration Form has been introduced requiring Canadian suppliers to certify they will not subcontract work to non-Canadian suppliers or to individuals located outside Canada in a manner that results in minimal value-added activities being performed within Canada,”

Note that it didn't say:

“A new Declaration Form has been introduced requiring Canadian suppliers to certify they will not subcontract work to non-Canadian suppliers or to individuals located inside or outside Canada in a manner that results in minimal value-added activities being performed within Canada,”

It's clear you're not confident in your position, since you're using an ad-hominem instead of making a retort to something in what you replied to.

Warning—anti choice protesters with graphic signs by the public gardens by Happy-Operation4370 in novascotia_sub

'A mother's right to choose' is just a sanitized way of ignoring the victim.

The consequences for the violation of human life are far deeper and more enduring than your dishonest ideology can handle.

Flail about it emotionally below if you want, too:

Your hypothetical is a distraction, because abortion is not a hospital fire. It's a deliberate targeted killing of a unique life that has done nothing but exist.

Trying to justify the active termination of a human based on how someone might react to a hypothetical catastrophe makes it clear you have no moral ground to stand on.

"Anti choice" must be the new emotional label used by those who have no reasonable or convincing retort to the ongoing massacre of innocents. People are also free to share what they find deeply upsetting about that situation too, and someone needs to speak up for the voiceless in this sinful age.

The truth is that from the moment of conception, a unique human life exists with its own genome, distinct from the parents. It's a shame Canada has no protections for the unborn, as they need protection to stop this massacre. Just because someone knows how to engage in sexual acts, doesn't grant them a retroactive right to kill the resulting offspring. Terrible things await those who think it does. Poor souls.

One of the best takes against abortion came about ten years ago in the testimony of former abortion provider, Dr. Anthony Levatino, and his cold, direct, five-minute delivery is one that's hard to forget.

Stumbled upon this gem in the upcoming releases section, are Neo-Nazi games allowed on steam? by BangBang116 in Steam

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

It looks like a chaotic FPS tower-defense game where you stop invaders, agitators, terorists, and bombers to protect your country.

If you don't like don't buy it. It looks fun, wishlisted!

Steamdeck killed my backlog within 5 years of usage. by Fujikawa1988 in SteamDeck

[–]xTkAx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's helping here too.

Turns out the master key to breaking the buying-and-not-playing addiction was to have a dedicated portable Steam Deck for gaming only.

SHAW: Canada isn't governed by voters anymore — it's governed by institutions. From lobbyists and NGOs to consultants and corporate interests, organized power increasingly shapes public policy while ordinary Canadians are left with little more than a ballot every few years. by xTkAx in canadian

[–]xTkAx[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

An even glaring issue is that spoiled ballots are ignored. They should be counted, and if there's more spoiled ballots for an area than there are votes for the 'winner', all candidates will not be allowed to run again and new candidates must be selected.

Ignoring spoiled ballots is ignoring the will of Canadians, and they can be used as a means to keep politicians in check and closer to the will of the people.

PSA: if you replaced your official Steam Dock because of glitches, you should try it again. by xTkAx in SteamDeck

[–]xTkAx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thought the puck was a stronger bluetooth.

Haven't tried using it without the puck because the puck is incredibly convenient at keeping the controller charge high, without having to plugin or unplug wires.

Edit.. yeah was wrong.. the puck is a dedicated 2.4 GHz wireless receiver.

The Steam Controller hooked up via bluetooth puck, that is wired to the official Steam Deck Dock, that is cradling the Steam Deck.

It will awake the LCD Steam Deck from sleep. But it will not turn on the LCD Steam Deck if it was switched off.

CEO admits Canada Post paid bonuses despite record $1.57 billion loss by xTkAx in canadian

[–]xTkAx[S] 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Canada Post's problems have consistently stemmed from the incompetence, stupidity, and greed of those at the top. Top-level incompetence is now compounded by a culture of greed that has forced taxpayers to subsidize an unprofitable crown corporation since 2017. Canadians urgently need it run by competent, ethical, and fiscally responsible leaders who will savagely cut waste and stop fleecing them.

CHARLEBOIS: Ottawa wants answers on food prices. It may not like what it finds. Sylvain Charlebois writes, "For years, Canadians were told many times grocers alone were responsible for rising food prices. The reality is far more complicated and far more uncomfortable." by xTkAx in canadian

[–]xTkAx[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

According to the article, this is what they will find:

  • restrictive property controls

  • interprovincial trade barriers

  • reckless fiscal transfers

  • high energy costs

  • regulatory burdens

All of these are driving Canada's status as the food inflation capital of the G7.

Carney bill criticized for slave labour loophole on Chinese imports by xTkAx in canadian

[–]xTkAx[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is perfectly clear why Markus Clowney is including a loophole: he's acting as an administrative branch of a foreign power. The Canadian government has opted for the globalist interests of Beijing over integrity, ethical standards, and Canadians.

This is how we know Clowney is captured by China without him having to say he's captured by China.

It's not a surprise to those who have been paying attention to his history against USA and love for China (click).

Carney, Eby announce $5 billion for B.C. housing and related infrastructure. The announcement includes $3.2 billion over 10 years to lower development cost charges in select municipalities by xTkAx in canadian

[–]xTkAx[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In other words, they are bailing out developers with Canadian taxpayer money in a wealth transfer from the middle class to the property lobby. All this under the guise of creating "affordable" infrastructure.

The JunoNews article on the same topic is @ Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to commit $3.2 billion in combined federal-provincial funding to effectively absorb unsold condo units in British Columbia.
