I used to buy noname brands like "Peasant's Choice", "Welfare Family" products in the past. (those are my kid's names for them) Now I find they're not overruns of brand names, but merely defective brand name surplus. Over toasted breakfast cereals hard a rock. Their "Ritz" or Graham crackers where every single one is broken in the box. Worse, knowing that, I sure as hell won't buy the Staples House brand to save a mere dime over the Avery stuff or on a 2L bottle of pop that's sometimes even more than Coke or Pepsi.

Which has what to do with promoting their use? Does that mean F150s are 'the best' vehicles on the planet because they're the #1 sellers? Quit the circular path of repeating the same statements as if the sheer volume of repetition makes them true.

Funny how some people's view of 'free speech' is solely their belief they have the right to be offensive. Read the ruling. You can make all the hate speech you want, the Court's not going to defend you from consequences.

The entire thread has gone as off topic as you can get, but manages to show how many people, as I pointed out. will turn things absolutely ass backwards trying to make a point. Lacking evidence of an invisible man in the sky that runs everything isn't a belief, belief in one is. Usually described as faith.

That's called sarcasm. The same logic that anything pushing inclusion is discrimination against something else. - Like "Black Lives Matter" doesn't mean black lives matter too, it means only black lives matter. - Like claiming rainbow flags discriminate against someone. I wonder how many of the kids that didn't show were told not to go by their parents. Or how many, many more just thought 'convenient excuse' and skipped like we would've?

Michael Hardner si not judging. Perspective pretty much told us all his convenience is more important than anything else. The circular arguments are pretty clear indications he's made up his mind and that's all there is too it. A good conservative. Kind of reminds me of how we're sitting at a park table munching burgers in a little hick town and watching them set up a charger at the gas station across the street. My friends turns and tells me he'd never buy an RV because there's nowhere to charge them up. Made up his mind from old information and that's all there was to it, even though he's looking right at one under construction in Butthole, BC. Wanna go 5 hours nonstop? You've been able to do that since the Chevy Volts and Prius almost 15 years ago.

Don't wear a poppy because that's discrimination against all the civilians that died in wars.

Maybe they should stick to ruling on things that matter to consumers! A month after the Shaw/Rogers merger I see channels disappearing off my Shawdirect package. New decoder needed, so I call them. I have 4 decoder boxes, they will replace ONE, and they want me to pay $10 a month each to 'rent' the others. The new ones have wifi so I can buy movies easier but if I don't rent the new boxes old stations I already pay for will no longer be viewable. So how quickly we see the merger will 'benefit' consumers.

It's NOT medical, it's abhorred by legitimate psychologists and psychiatrists. Homosexuality is not a medical condition. I know my statement could be countered with an actual example of gov't medical interference, go pick one.

Oh Jeez, don't start with some globalist conspiracy shit. You just undermined your own argument. I won't be dumping my ICE vehicles either unless they both break down so bad neither's worth fixing. If they do and an EV makes financial sense, I'd go for one.

You know damn well 'conversion therapy' not a medical procedure, it's simply a method of forcing someone to believe they're not gay. Pick a better example to make your point, they're out there.

And you're going to convince anyone that's a medical procedure? Well there are a few Bible thumping rednecks on this site that'll believe you.

If you live in the inner city, you certainly don't need to think about range. If you rent, new apartments will have to provide a charging and if it's a home condo or townhouse, the landlord sure as hell won't object if YOU put one in. Some new cars have installation of a 2nd level charger included. Add on top that's where most car chargers are today - downtown. You can still buy what you want, no one is being 'forced' to buy an EV. Yet.

I'd say thank f***ing God we have doctors, patients and parents making health decisions and not some elected Bozo trying to boost his popularity by deciding for others,

Oh yes make 'supply you own clothing from dress tuxedo to every climate on Earth & supply your own bag lunch' a condition of employment for staffers. Let's invent more "scandals".

Well the aftereffects sure aren't. From native issues, African disputes to a bloody war that's rooted in colonialism disguised as Russification, you can see that everywhere.

So you're going to rewrite history and claim that the Conservatives were the ones all for a Constitution and Charter of Rights now are you? Kid. You obviously either weren't even there, or you've gone senile.

Who is gaslighting? The ones pushing the idea you need to drive 300km a day, that's who. That paying $3.50/L is better than having to plug in. That filling up in 5 minutes is more convenient than sticking a plug in your garage wall when you get home and go to bed. The manufacturers who are pushing the idea on people that EVs are more expensive to build than EVs, 30 years after they crushed the EVs that could serve 90% of people's transportation using dirt cheap lead-acid batteries.

Yes many Cdn conservatives didn't want a Charter of Rights, too hard to impose your will on others with one. And far too much gum flapping from Joe Average who thinks their knowledge of law is better than any Judge. The 'teachers are stoopid, Doctors are stoopid' peanut gallery. Changing the onus on bail for violent offenders as is being done is about all that can be done. PP's loud mouth has just shown us he's merely another Harper Era backbencher hoisting ill thought Crime Bills every day.

Go ahead, double down and broadcast your utter ignorance, We know about it already.

Maybe you should have two nickels to rub together before you try to dispense real estate advice.

duh

Funny. A multipage discussion on what socialism is by ultra-rightists who've convinced themselves they are conservatives. Who fooled themselves into believing political right means 'correct' rather than what side of Parliament you sat on.

Let's elect a GG from among candidates who are only old stuffed shirt white men. That would make the Monarchy even less relevant much faster.

For those dinosaurs who won't find out themselves its called the four pillars model: Prevention, Harm Reduction, Enforcement, and Treatment
