That's great! I think more communities (of all nations) need to have that de-escalation buffer between them and the police/RCMP.
"Fail" or "Succeed" is based on your perspective.
Capitalism won't fail. It's a great success to the rich who get richer by manipulating it.
Capitalism is a success, just not for us or anyone we know.
The 1% don't give a shit about that. If they did it wouldn't be an issue in the first place.
Such a shame.
Worked for them from 2004 to 2009, first as a member of the renovations team and later as a front store manager.
Was a great job and a great company (especially for managers pay back then) I truly enjoyed my time there for the most part, especially the reno team, which would see me and my crew traveling around Western Canada renovating and/or setting up new stores before moving on to the next.
But this was long before friggin' Loblaw's bought them up and turned it into just another mega-corp treating their people like line items on a spreadsheet.
It just feels like the older I get, the more everything I remember fondly ends up getting fucked by corporate greed.
Simply put, they can get away with it.
Public sector payrolls are available to the voters if they're interested in seeing them.
Private companies will pay as little, and cut as much as, they can get away with since no one is looking except their accountants.
Plain old greed. It's the companies themselves that have been known to reach out to poorer countries and make deals, bringing those immigrants in at lesser pay.
Because they can. Because no one stops them. They've done a great job convincing us to blame the immigrant for coming and taking our job, and not the corporation for treating labour like line items on a spreadsheet.
How about we go a step further and say that I don't want to have to sign into ANY online account to access my computer.
If I disconnect my Ethernet cable, I can still log in and get work done. That should be the absolute MINIMUM that is expected of any operating system.
Linux is sometimes a royal pain in the ass, but it's for precisely that reason that it's important that it and Foss options like it are supported.
The phone calls have ALWAYS been coming from inside the house. Because they invited them in...and asked them to bring their friends...
As someone who worked in the cellular space for many many years with both Sasktel and Telus, I can say confidently that we HAVE NO competition watchdog. The CRTC just rubber stamps everything put in front of them by the big telcos after a quick sham so-called "investigation".
I'm struggling to think of a single time when the CRTC has NOT ruled int he Telcos favour. If there is, someone can enlighten me.
It's most definitely the difference in circumcision. You've effectively developed calluses on the head of your penis while mine and others stay nice and sheathed until ready for use.
Oh man, that just gave me one HELL of a nostalgia hit.
i was actually amazed at how Stewart was able to step back in and almost immediately it felt like he'd never been away. It's HIS show. Always will be. Watching that first episode on Monday just felt right again.
It sounds "Terrorist-y"
Is, I presume, what the original commenter means.

Buddy, you don't even have to look that close. The hat of the dude in the background draws your eye immediately, quickly followed by the fries and all the shit going on on that table.
