  • climate disaster protection agency

    Doing what, like controlled burns of forests?

    I think we have something like that already if I'm not mistaken, its likely just lost all its funding since the Federal government began taking a larger chunk of peoples disposable income.

  • We did mass immigration from low emission countries to boost consumption, BC just chose China to produce their new ferries which derives 60% of its energy from coal and has no industrial carbon tax, our largest city is still overwhelmingly zoned for urban sprawl as we subsidize EV for the rich instead of building high speed rail.

    I'd say Canada overall doesnt care about emissions. There are countless examples of that.

  • They are going to see a 2 million dollar price tag on a home or 6 months of miserable weather and they are going to leave. This is why we can only import people to perform capital shallowing, and not any educated people.

  • They don't want housing prices to fall, which affects every poor person regardless of disability or not. We simply fell for it again as Trudeau said the same thing, the Liberals will lie every time to get elected.

  • Well it's six right now, you think inmates are good stewards of the honor system?

    Was I somehow banned for saying this? That's a pretty wild bar for being labeled a transphobe. I've got nothing against trans people, I have something against abusers of the system.

  • There are currently six trans people incarcerated in Quebec provincial prisons. Six. That’s 0.1 percent of the incarcerated population. There’s no data indicating how many of those people have or haven’t had bottom surgery, mind you. Regardless, it’s clear that we’re talking about a tiny fraction of people. This is a tactic from the anti-trans playbook that we’ve seen used over and over: taking an issue that affects a minuscule segment of the population, blowing it out of proportion and using it to roll back human rights protections.

    If anyone can say they are a women and get moved to a women's prison then who wouldn't, I know I absolutely would, what percentage of men want to be locked up with men rather than women?

    You're the top of the pecking order in a women's prison, you get to see things you don't in a men's prison, and theres perhaps opportunity for some action.

  • "When we said make housing affordable what we meant was make a tiny handful of affordable rentals thats well below population growth. Meanwhile we are paying half of developer taxes in order to keep property taxes low for the ownership class."

  • The ring of fire is mining, which is required for EV, which is the "green" industry of the future they are always talking about. We build lithium batteries for EV and renewable usage; which displaces oil usage, which removes smog, and hopefully should be more efficient in the long term.

    Indigenous have their hands out for free cash as they always do, and that kills this industry like it does everything else in Canada. Hence why we are second to last in per capita GDP growth in the entire OECD. How poor do we need to be before some cynicism kicks in and we stop cosplaying, this is peoples livelihoods we're wrecking.

  • The economic troubles are immigration. What happens is you have QE and 0% interest rates, to deal with Covid, then you have a labor shortage and "quiet quitting"; as per the phillips curve in economics where inflation and employment are inversely coorelated. Then you have mass immigration to fill the temporary QE induced labor shortage. Then you have the BoC raising interest rates, even more so than expected given Trumps tariffs. Then you have a reversion to the mean for employment, and a lot more workers that can no longer be absorbed.

    So its all excess immigration. We arent meant to drastically distort the market like this to fill temporary lulls or highs in the economy, to hide falling GDP growth and then losing the election. I'm not a mustached villain, I simply have a single mom sister who can barely get by as an education assistant and think what we did is despicable.
