  1. The daily up and down of gasoline prices has been a bone stuck in the throats of Canadians for decade upon decade. This is not a one party political issue but a Canadian problem endured and validated by every party in power and absorbed by the Canadian public.
  2. There are others that agree with you. Joe Oliver: Shh! Was that the Liberal leadership race getting underway? https://ca.yahoo.com/finance/news/joe-oliver-shh-liberal-leadership-100054296.html
  3. We (Canada) have not fixed, repaired, built or anything on the PM's house for over half a century. Nothing to do with a housing issue. A pure bureaucratic issue.
  4. It was not an American source. I am sorry for not linking it but, It was a Canadian source.
  5. Every PM, liberal and conservative since 1950 has done some sort of renovations to 24 Sussex. Some more, some less but they are all culpable for the state of the house. Yes, Trudeau Sr did lots but Mulroneys wife was the biggest spender for her luxurious lifestyle. "Mulroney came under fire for “Gucci-gate,” revelations that the Progressive Conservative party spent $308,000 on 24 Sussex and Harrington Lake, the prime minister’s country home. The details—12 m of closets for 100 pairs of shoes, leopard-print carpet, $100-a-role wallpaper —summoned very Canadian “Who do you think you are?” clucking. Liberal MP Don Boudria spoke of “Imelda Marcos-like closets” So, no party is guilt free. Trudeau Jr just refused to move it. By the way, just to sort of put things in perspective, we are not talking about a Little House on the Rideau, it is a 24 room, 12,000 sq ft mansion, not including pools and grounds etc. Been in it once....looked nice but I was not checking out the condition. https://macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/how-the-pms-residence-became-a-nightmare-at-24-sussex/
  6. Sounds like a BC specific problem yet, the inflation rate is Canada wide. Arguing with me is fruitless and moot. I am not an economist and did not write the reports. I am sure that you are also not an economist and do not have access or the information the reports authors have. But hey, your politics make you right LOL
  7. Sorry, not all up on the new pronouns, or more precisely, cannot keep up with the new pronouns LOL
  8. Bottom line is whistle blowers have protection in Canada dude, (or dudette). "Section 425.1 of the Criminal Code, for example, states that employers may not threaten or take disciplinary action against, demote or terminate an employee in order to deter him or her from reporting information regarding an offence he or she believes has or is being committed by his or her employer to the relevant law enforcement authorities. In short, an employer cannot threaten an employee with negative repercussions to deter them from contacting law enforcement with information about their employer’s offence. Punishment for employers who make such threats or reprisals can include up to five years imprisonment and/or fines."
  9. COVID protocols were over in November 2021. It is now close to 2 years later. I said, as you linked, "COVID is over (well, sort of) and lets get on with it and stop living in and blaming the past." not "distant bygone past".
  10. You should heed your own advice LOL I can read, it is you that cannot write LOL
  11. Is english your second language?? Two suggestions, one, read and re-read before you post and second, learn a lot more english before you post. 95% of what you post makes no sense.
  12. COVID caught the world by surprise. Canada was not alone in it's shortfalls. Much of Canada's issues were ones we caused by selling off capabilities to foreign countries. We have been selling off our capabilities for decades, by all political parties. We have a;lowed ourselves to be consumers and not manufacturers. We offer services, not products. Yes, the PM and his ministers really f*cked up and reacted too slowly and by the time they figured some of it out, we were last in line for almost everything we needed. But, COVID is over (well, sort of) and lets get on with it and stop living in and blaming the past.
  13. Yes it is. The quote is from a Canadian law firm https://www.kcyatlaw.ca/what-is-whistleblowing-guide-whistleblowing-in-canada/
  14. None of the links ever said carbon taxes were not contributors to inflation. The point of the links was to indicate that carbon taxes were not the primary and not the greatest part or reason of inflation as some claim.
  15. "Based on 18 carbon taxes from Europe and Canada enacted over the last three decades, they find, on average, that carbon taxes did not lead to increasing inflation." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01673-w "Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem made it clear in May 2022 in a reply to the House of Commons finance committee, that federal carbon taxes that were $50 per tonne added 0.4 percentage points to Canada's realized inflation rate." https://financialpost.com/opinion/carbon-taxes-bank-of-canada-job-harder "The researchers found no significant impact of carbon taxes on inflation in Europe, and a slight deflationary impact in Canada" https://centreforfuturework.ca/2023/05/08/no-correlation-between-inflation-and-carbon-pricing/ "find that carbon taxes do not have to be inflationary, and may even be deflationary. Our evidence suggests that the increase in energy prices was more than offset by a fall in the prices of services and other non-tradables. Our results are consistent across Canadian provinces and European countries, and survive various robustness checks. At least in case of British Columbia, a contraction in household incomes and expenditures, in particular among the richer households, could explain the deflationary effect.

  16. No, the fact is if they want to dig, the can. There are no marked graves so they are just open fields and can do what they wish but, they don't because their bubble will be burst. And the schools are not on band property. Listen, just because something is repeated often does not make it true. The truth is backed up by evidence and proof ans so far, there is none. Calling me or anyone you don't agree with racist is a poor excuse for lack of evidence or proof. Shut me and others up by proving evidence.... if you can. Otherwise suck it up buttercup, you are full of the bullshit, not us.
  17. An employer cannot retaliate against you for exercising your rights under the Department of Labor's whistleblower protection laws.
  18. Is it really a "well known fact"? If so, please share with the documents and evidence. The fact is, it there have been no places and no bodies found anywhere. If you think only one school yard as been checked, you are very misinformed.
  19. The choice of living conditions is theirs. They do get almost everything for free, meaning in most "reservations" or places they choose to live, there is no work so they have no income except what the provinces and feds give them, including housing and mobility. If they take care of their property, perhaps her condition would be better? As for life expectancy. What is the cause of short life? Is it environment or lifestyle or what else? All peoples have access to medical assistance, everywhere in the country. The fact is, they , as you, have choices to make to enhance you life and living or let it deteriorate , as you wish. Having been to many remote villages I have seen nice housing and seen dilapidated ones, all on the same street. it is very much a personal problem
  20. Fact is there are many accusations and claims but nothing documented as you claim. There has not been one piece of evidence. No paper no nothing. All conjecture and claims. the real issue is this lives on as no one will speak against the claims hence they are chastised. Yes, how can you make claims of buried children is there none are actually found.It is an accusation without merit or what? The bodies are not there but they still are buried there? How can you blame someone or something without proof or evidence? As you know, it would all be thrown out in any court in the world except the court of indigenous public opinion. But hey, if you have some proof to offer, please do so, you can change my mind if I see some evidence.
  21. $hit!!! Does this mean they are going to tax the sunshine...and snowfalls??
  22. Go back to sleep Rumpelstiltskin LOL
  23. Same goes for the Missing indigenous women issue. When the report was throttled because it leaned to their own men as being the root cause...
  24. I am far from callous. I am totally realistic. Am not callous about housing, health care, food costs, fuel costs, taxes, car prices, cost of living, weather and on and on and on. I am realistic about them all though. I am not callous about climate change either. I am realistic about that too. What is beneath contempt is whiners like you that try to deny the obvious and disregard true science and facts;.
  25. As much as I think Black has little credibility, he has a point when hersays "on no authority whatsoever, he used the presence of possible but unverified burials of unidentified people to portray Canada as having once been a charnel house of murdered and secretly interred Indigenous children. Again, there was no evidence to sustain any part of that allegation.". There has yet to be one bone actually uncovered or found.
