Coyne is a Gen Xer

False accusers? Of what? Name them. Name something we made a false accusations about . Be careful, you have laid yourself and your biases out on these forums.

This is expected from our resident bible thumpin, scripture quoting christian, He/She is anti FN, anti Palestinian , anti Pakistani, anti immigrant, anti non white. and anti religion other than his version of Christianity. A hypocrite of monumental proportion. He/She is the worst kind of discriminatory christian that you can imagine. He/She has even resorted to the conspiracy theorist rantings that if you do not agree with him/her that you are a leftists. Seems only he/she can dictate what we think or believe. Yup, hypocritical is the word LOL BTW, I am very torn about the amount we spend and give the FN peoples. I m not anti FN, just concerned that the welfare society we have created will never be off the government teat. I don't know how to change or resolve the issue. Perhaps give them 5 years waning that they will be cut off the government teat and they will be like all other Canadians, paying taxes etc.

What a waste of time....another useless with no consequences house of commons investigation LOL

"acting like an ignorant twat"? like you are in this thread?? What happened to you? You used to be a reasonable poster. Did they take you off your meds??

For sure they will not be built in Ottawa LOL Because they are basically a Colorado pickup. I am quite sure they will be built in the Truck plant in Oshawa. But hey, who knows.

Being cynical, it has nothing to do with Latvia or even the Army but everything to do with making work in Oshawa. "Canada has finalized a contract with GM Defense Canada Company of Oshawa, Ontario". Truck sales are down and they would be laying off workers but, lets do a deal with GM.

Hmmmm, topic has long ago run it's course. I still stand by my comment.

Yup, as you are. When you say things like the above you presume you are better than anyone else and we all know you are not. You are the same. Rapists?? WTF?? You just proved you are the same if not worse. Clearly not practising what you are preaching. A very poor analogy. I doubt you are a reasonable person....I have read your conspiracy theories LOL Bottom line, in your glass house, you should not throw stones. As I said to Groundskeeperwille, he needs to look at what precipitated those comments. A chain of insults starts somewhere and never gets better. You should know that as you start many LOL

Ummm ", one of the remaining true newspapers in Canada"??? LOL "didn’t know who had left the newspaper at his Kitchener home. That bothered him. It was called “Druthers” and it was full of anti-vaccine views and conspiracy theories, with some commentary that was anti-Asian, anti-Muslim and antisemitic. One of the articles said the 9/11 attack “no doubt involves shadowy elements recruited from among militant Zionists and Saudi fundamentalists.”" https://www.therecord.com/news/waterloo-region/when-hateful-words-arrive-at-the-door/article_468c1c90-2979-5a55-ab32-978c8ef1114d.html

Welcome to repolitics. I think before you besmirch me, you should look at the root cause and what others post and what led up to that post.

Strikes...in an orderly fashion??? That's a laugh. Cost to the public?? an inconvenience perhaps but really, no cost. The cost ito the Ontario public s the increase in pay, making more full time employees when they don't need them and keeping all a\almost 700 LCBO stores open. when grocery and convenience stores will sell same products. Now that is a cost. So, the strike is over and this thread. is now moot

Why investigate? Anyone in a war zone takes the chance of getting killed.....no matter their race, religion or occupation or political beliefs.

Clearly "everyone" that you seem to include has not read the paper. Clearly, the paper and it's data and facts were analyzed and they presented the paper with them. Just because it does not fit your narrative does not make you right or, let alone the IMF wrong. As I have said numerous times, you are far, very far from an economist or statistician and most importantly, you have no data or facts to prove your point. I know it is difficult for you ot realize you ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer LOL So, it actually is smart to "not going to waste time arguing with a guy ". It will save you a lot of embarrassment. I do not brag about proficiency in anything but I can say, I can outwit you and yes, they will, but laugh at you LOL

Firstly, you linked a year and a half old story. As of last Thursday (18 July) all that is now available in convenience stores and grocery stores that applied for a licence. https://windsor.ctvnews.ca/convenience-stores-gearing-up-to-enter-alcohol-market-1.6967389 The SAQ is a monopoly in Quebec. "Québec Liquor Corporation) is a provincial Crown corporation and monopoly in Quebec responsible for the trade of alcoholic beverages within the province." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Société_des_alcools_du_Québec So before you try and accuse someone of just arguing, you should get your shit together, and gather your facts LOL "Do you have anything else to do?" LOL

groot, you presented diddily squt LOL. IMF produced a document with proof. Come up with something, anything that refutes that with real data and facts. Oh, you cannot. What a surprise that is LOL Read it and be slayed with actual facts LOL https://financialpost.com/news/imf-forecasts-canada-fastest-growing-economy-g7-2025 Please demonstrate your superior intelligence and knowledge and list all things in the report that are false, lies and incorrect. I suspect we will be waiting a long time LOL Your only claim is that I support trudeau which is also false so, like a few others, you are an outright liar LOL I support facts...not rhetoric or assumptions or BS from you. LOL If you wish to start something, be prepared for a loooong and embarrassing for you debate.,

I don't defend, I deal with facts and you have none. Oh, I forgot...you are an economist and statistician and hacked the IMF database. I should have known. LOL Your political whining is getting real old LOL

The government did not make the statement. It came from the IMF. The liberals can take the blame for many things but they cannot take blame or credit for an IMF statement that comes from the data and facts they have gathered. The royal bank statement is based on their singular point of view with prejudiced and profit to their business. The IMF could not care less about the royal bank. Please, you are smarter than that LOL

I don't defend the liberal government at all. Thos is not left vs right. This is IMF professionals using all available date to come to a conclusion. The IMF made the statement and I am defending them and you are in no way smarter than they are. I think you believe you are intelligent and smarter than the IMF professionals and we know you are not, not even close. Just a zero with a political agenda LOL

As I have told you before, there is no revenue loss. The government in Ontario is the only wholesaler in the province. All retailers have to buy form them. If they close stores, they save money. There is no loss of revenue. It is win win for the government. Are you speaking of BC or Ontario? You said you have not been to Ontario. Also, as I told you already, every LCBO has to stock it's own selection of products. The manager is responsible for sales and sticks what sells. If you did not get your favourite brand , maybe it is not available in Ontario or, the manager did not stock it. Again, not a government issue but the local store choices.

it is always your way or the highway. Your opinion is as valid as anyone elses. Once again Perspective: Some facts for actions Between 2010 and 2022: the population of Canada grew from approximately 33.9 million to 39.3 million (an increase of 15.9%)Footnote 5; and the number of federal public servants increased from 282,980 to 335,957 (an increase of 18.7%).Footnote 6 The federal public service comprised 0.86% of the Canadian population in 2022. Over the last 10 years, the size of the federal public service in relation to the Canadian population fluctuated but it now represents a greater proportion of the Canadian population than in 2010 when it represented 0.84%. Indeterminate hiring has been on the rise since the 2012 to 2013 fiscal year. There was a decline in indeterminate hires between the 2019 to 2020 fiscal year and the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year, however it has since risen. New indeterminate hiring in the core public administration increased by 32.7%, from 16,528 in the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year to 21,925 in the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year. Retirements accounted for 71.3% of departures while resignations accounted for 15.2% in the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year. Additionally, as shown in Figure 10, in the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, the federal public service departure rates for retirements, resignations and all other specified reasons were 3.2%, 0.7%, and 0.6%, respectively. Since the 2012 to 2013 and the 2013 to 2014 period, where the number of departures from the federal public service increased in response to budget reductions, there has been a steady decrease of departures from the federal public service workforce up until the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year. Between the 2020 to 2021 fiscal year and the 2021 to 2022 fiscal year, the number of departures increased by 30.6%. This jump is mostly likely due to employees delaying their retirement until after the pandemic.

You are aware that LCBO Ontario is the only wholesaler in the Province?? Just like the SAQ is the only wholesaler in Quebec. In Ontario, the brewers own the Beer Stores.l Everybody pays the same.

I do not know what they are named in Ontario, I used 7-11 as an example. (Circle K, On The Run a nd all the independent ones) . Fact is, as i said, some are independently owned franchises and others are just "corner" stores. They are small business. BC is BC and Ontario has never done it because, well, it is Ontario. In Ontario, the stores are against it and so it is what it is. You do not have to like it. Continually preaching what another province does is absolutely immaterial. Carbon tax??? So, you came to Ontario in 1969? 55years ago??? I really do not know what to say about that. We miss you?? All 14.5 million of us. NOT LOL So, you do what you do there and the rest of Canada does what it dies. Oh and I am from BC. Lastly, I just saw on the news the LCBO strike is still on. Seems the union added some things (money issue) after they left the bargaining table so the LCBO pulled the agreement.. Tentative deal to end LCBO strike on hold as province accuses union of introducing new demands https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/union-says-lcbo-strike-will-continue-until-ford-government-signs-return-to-work-protocol-1.6970420

Yes, they have to convince the stores to take n=back the empties and th estores (grocery and otherwise) have balked at it. It has to do with "unclean" empties piling up in a place that sells food and also the space requirement. The pushback by the stores is why it never went forward. Yes we do have "small" stores. Every little strip mall has a 7-11 or equivalent (we have different brands). They are "small "stores as they are franchised to the owner. Convenience is the entire goal. I and no one ever expected cheaper booze as the Province controls the wholesale price and maybe even the retail prices. That is yet to be seen.

Need the days for workers to get back to work and the union needs to ratify the deal and, the workers have to vote. The r4 days are for the workers to get their shit together. LOL Plus to sort out and make up the shifts, to get the stock and to stock the shelves. LCBO is, after all, sending stock to all other the stores that signed up. The LCBO stores are now just another store. LOL Yup, thank you OPSEU but hey, the union gets to collect its union dues again LOL
