Soon as I read the title I thought: someone must've slept throught years of price fixing scandal... I always buy bread from Vancouver suppliers for $1 or more less than the Dumpsters brand.

True. We used to do that, had codes for delivered to/serviced on reserve. We even had an Internet service where the POP (where you connect to Telco's service) was in a Band building, so customers weren't taxed. My kid worked at a mill on the local reservation, he had income tax & benefits deducted but his friends did not. AFAIK they still got CPP & EI deducted.

Dictatorship my ass! What a gaggle of political ignoroids. In one sentence you recognize he's scrambling to save his own ass, the next claim that makes him a dictator. Grow up!

It means you're a registered member of a specific band. Like your SIN. You need it to vote for Band Councils etc. If you shop at a store on the rez, you write your number on a form and it gets rung up with no tax. If you walk into any off rez, you pay tax like anyone else. It used to be (maybe still is) if you were a Band member and worked at the mill on the rez, income tax wasn't deducted. Check the box on an income tax program that you're a registered Indian and see what comes up.

If you read the issue it does not say anywhere that the guy was 'castrated as a child'. Only if you're so seriously reactionary you'd believe a doctor would perform sex altering surgery only on an underage person's request. Or even hormone therapy without parental consent on a "child". Of course living in a backward country where one can't even have a beer until you're 21. your definition oi 'child' is bizarrely skewed. Like banning 16&18 yr olds from seeing pics of Michaelangelos David at school. Or restricting high school girls access to birth control from a Doctor. Some of yo are so disgusted and so fixated on trannies that you are the ones that should seek help from a mental health professional. You act like fascist incels scared shitless of anything sexual.

Weaponized DOJ Convicts Hunter Biden

Plea deal already? Jeez, I thought it took fifty years or more to investigate someone's taxes down there. -
A stupid and seemingly obligatory process to let malcontents blow off steam. Useless and ineffective in practice.

No shit. I stated that unlike the Negative anything Cdn Nellies that among aficionados of banknote design our bills are considered one of the best. And off everyone went denying that such people don't exist or that I was lying and they really hate them. About what was expected from people who object to any change in anything at all. Just gotta keep the old white guy with the big snout on there cuz he's always been there. Who the hell are Terry Fox and Chris Hadfield and Bill Reid and Wayne Gretzky anyway... nobody ever heard of them! We gotta have dead PMs because the US has dead Presidents! Like I said it's the number on the bill that matters not the picture. Just because it spends like Monopoly money it doesn't have to look as boring as Monopoly money.

More accurately they are ceremonially appointed. The GG names the leader of the party that wins the most seats as PM, or the leader chosen by a coalition that holds the majority of seats. The PM and his advisors pick the Cabinet, and they are ceremonially sworn in by the GG. Rare is the time things work out like in BC where the BC Liberals won just one more seat, but the NDP & Greens immediately formed a coalition that would've instantly voted no confidence and forced another election, the Lt Gov. picked NDP's Horgan to appoint as Premier. So the PM is appointed, but not chosen by the GG as John Turner and Kim Campbell were. And NO, contrary to what you think from all the whining I'd safely bet that nobody on this board voted for Trudeau or ever could, because they don't live in his damn riding.

Scientific Method vs Engineering Method

Toy train sets with 370 degrees of track in each kit Kitchen utensils that break if you squeeze the handle Cars that explode in flames if rear ended by a shopping cart. Toy tanks with 5 1.5V motors and lights in them and only 4 batteries Glues you can't use because they stick your fingers together before anything else. We are, we are, we are the Engineers We can, we can, we can drink 40 beers (UBC chant) ... and then go to work. I forgot - fuel cells that can take men to the Moon but 55 years later are still a decade away from taking you down to the 7-11 -

Some of us vote for 'balance of power'. The ones that keep the Libs from turning into Tories and the Tories from turning into what people on this forum want them to be. Christian Falangists. -

Every day PP gives me another reason not to vote Conservative. -
Oh FFS lots of people collect and follow money from all over the world. I've never held an Aussie or NZ bill, but I know what they look like. You American? Where the Mint was like TV networks & took forever to realize they already knew about colour? Never got your Stamp or Coin badge in Cub Scouts?

No you ignorant gasbag, look at numismatic papers/mags or even YouTube. Why are you even here when you hate everything about Canada?

Did you know people from other countries have nothing but praise for Cdn bills? They rank them among the best designs
