I just want to point out that "speak no ill of the dead" is a fucking stupid idea, and nobody should ever say that phrase.

People should be remembered for what they did and who they were, even if (or maybe especially) they were bad.

Why are people so obsessed with getting new doctors from immigration? Where's the call to increase schooling capacity?

Our capacity for training doctors and nurses hasn't increased in decades. Every year hundreds of potential health care workers get turned away from schooling because we don't have the capacity. And everyone big idea is to ... not fix the root problem.

Any way you spin it this problem will take years to solve. Whether through immigration or through increased training capacity, it's going to take years. So we might as well let Canadians get trained for these jobs. We clearly want to, as evidenced by the greater number of applicants than seats.

You wrote all that out and it doesn't even answer his question.

I started noticing after I stopped drinking alcohol. Especially with sweeteners that are literally an alcohol, like maltitol. It tastes like they put rubbing alcohol in it.

I was surprised to learn just now that Pit Viper isn't actually owned by Luxottica.

However they have many models that made in China and Italy, which means they are manufactured by Luxottica. Apparently some of them are still made in the US, but I wasn't able to find which ones.

Normally when a company is manufacturing something domestically they proudly announce it, because it's a good selling point. But I didn't see pit viper doing that in my brief searches, so it's safe to assume they're all made by Luxottica.

Which means these knockoffs probably came out of the same factory, if not the exact same product line.

It's not the tax write off that benefits the executives. It's the fact that they appoint themselves as executives of the charity too, and as such they can legally pay themselves a salary out of the donations they receive.

Got $10m in charity donations? Whoops looks like our executives’ salaries cost $9.9m, guess we can only donate $100k

I really don't know how to be any more clear with this question.
