I completely forgot about that whole incident. I guess in that context it does make sense, I agree. A political tit-for-tat between the 2 parties.

“I know that if I had chosen to end it, it would have started with a call to him. I would have said, ‘You know what, Jagmeet? It’s not going to work.’ You make those tough calls.”

I honestly get why Singh chose to distance himself from Trudeau but I kind of see where Trudeau is coming from to say he should have at least talked to him first. You don’t just quit your job without telling anyone and disappear. Not unless something really bad happened where you feel unsafe to do so or its just such a shitty workplace. I’m not aware of anything like that to have happened between the two. It seemed to be just a split in political priorities.

EDIT: Completely forgot about Trudeau’s forced arbitration of the rail workers strike. I take back what I said above.

Technically true. I would argue that the fact that considering home ownership and affordability is a top concern for voters and little to no meaningful legislation has been proposed to fix it on any level of government that our government is intentionally ignoring the problem for their own interests.

It’ll persist as long as a significant amount of MPs are landlords and would never vote against their self-interests despite it being the best thing for their constituents.

All good lol. Happens to all of us.

I wouldn’t. Weaponized incompetence to this extent isn’t something I give the benefit of the doubt for.

Where did you get that?

The Grassy Narrows River Run march last week was held to pressure the government to address decades-long mercury contamination in Grassy Narrows First Nation since a paper mill in Dryden, Ont., dumped 9,000 kilograms of the substance into the river systems in the 1960s.

Videos on social media showed some march participants chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, which prompted Ford earlier this week to call it a “Palestinian rally” and complain that teachers were trying to indoctrinate children.

Sounds to me more like they went to the correct protest. There were just other protestors there who were chanting Pro-Palestine messages. Doesn’t mean they went to a different or incorrect protest.

He can connect them just fine. He just doesn’t care. He’s a cruel man, not a stupid one.

Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday he had asked Education Minister Jill Dunlop to investigate, saying kids shouldn’t be at protests and should instead be in school learning math, spelling, geography and history.

Field trips are voluntary and are done with the consent of the parents. If these kids went to the protests it’s likely their parents and teachers saw this is a good opportunity to educate these students on our rights as well as how and why to protest. Our high schools have a civics class for a reason (I know it’s only a half credit but I think you get my point).

That’s the point?

Meta’s revenue is in the tens of billions. This fine isn’t even a rounding error for them. This isn’t something that should be taken so lightly.

You know for a political party that likes to brag about being able to find efficiencies and ensuring our tax dollars are not wasted they sure do find good ways to waste it without any efficiency.

Fair enough, maybe more information will come out as time goes by. Thanks for sharing the article though, sucks to see our school systems used for political theatre.

My question was more along the lines of why did they decide to push this rule (out of all the possible rules you can come up with) through? Was it just randomly decided to score political points? Was it to silence certain voices?

Maybe its just me but I’m not understanding what the ban is about? It touched on Aboriginals and the residential school systems. Are they trying to exclude Aboriginal flags from being displayed at schools? Is that what this is about?

Ontario not only fails in it’s numbers for homes built but also it’s quality as well. We’re so screwed.

Definitely agreed. Then again, Reddit has stopped being user or privacy friendly for a long time now.

Google has a function to limit or remove third party connections/accounts from your google account. You should be able to change that if you wanted to.

No comments on what this would do to Alberta’s already failing health are system as people refuse vaccinations for deadly diseases om the basis that a random internet stranger said they should? No?

It covers whatever you don’t actually need. I’m sorry your family went through that. It sucks to find yourself in that kind of position.
