To this day Carney hasn't done anything to justify why I voted for him aside from not being Pierre. This cabinet has been embarrassing.

Robertson as the Housing minister has been nothing but embarrassing sound bites on top of this stuff.

Though Robertson said he had asked the bank to reverse course on its decision, the bank’s CEO testified, “to the best of my recollection,” cancelling the loan was not discussed in their conversations.

Rather, Corey said, he explained to Robertson the logic of why the Canada Infrastructure Bank made the loan. He said its mandate is to invest in infrastructure across the country and to benefit Canadians.

What about people trying to get home. If they cut this loan off and it becomes a substantial delay for the new ferries the Liberals is going to pay for it in BC seats.

Freeland rejected that her responses were flippant, and said as minister of transport and internal trade, “I am doing everything that I can do within my jurisdiction to prioritize Canadian workers, and particularly workers in the steel, aluminum, and lumber industries.”

Also as usual even when given the opportunity to actually be helpful the Canadian's the Conservative go out of their way to shit the bed.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis (Haldimand-Norfolk, Ont.) pointed out the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s mandate also includes promoting the Canadian economy, and said it should be disbanded.

Conservative MP Dan Albas (Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna), a vice-chair of the House Transport Committee, used a maritime metaphor to describe the disconnect between Freeland’s letter and the loan.

“You’re like a ship sailing at night, seeing another one sail by, except those are our jobs, going to China, to a shipyard that’s owned and managed by the state,” he said. “Minister, why aren’t you saying, ‘No I won’t support this loan. It’s contrary to what the government’s intentions are and what Canadians are asking for.’”

Off the top of my head. Would have to admit that I'm around the fitness stuff a lot and that industry went from mostly scammers to outright nut jobs since COVID.

I just want to point out that people have been going out of their way to support the biggest Canadian Trumpers while not "buying American".

And lot of these companies ain't very shy about their support on social media.

To add the Opinion articles is extra terrible.

You can look up Best Buy bricks tablets. It happens with brick and mortar places as well.

Really the biggest problem is getting presents for people. Assuming you want them to be able to completely open it.

That was what the election dwindled down to Pierre wasn't the incumbent party and Carney wasn't Pierre. Nothing much inspiring was happening.

I'll also point out I mostly soured on Carney when he said Trudeau catered to much to the "far left".

Seems like that happened after the news got involved.

Shkel claimed the box of staples weighed the same as what the camera lens would. But, following an internal investigation by Canon Canada, she was told she would not be getting a refund.

In any case this happens enough where people should consider opening packages at the post office with cameras or maybe recording yourself opening packages at home.

It was snow shoveling, although specifically it was people who got shot antagonizing the shooter.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/3-dead-murder-suicide-over-snow-removal-dispute-prosecutors-say-n1256599

The video shows that the Goys shoveled snow from their parking spots, pushed it across the street and threw it onto Spaide’s property. After Spaide asked the couple to stop throwing snow onto his property, the neighbors got into an argument where they appear to have exchanged obscene gestures and expletives.

The discounting part isn't really true as of 2022.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/credit-card-surcharge-faq-1.6610356

The only significant revenue streams for most credit card issuers is Interchange fees, Annual fees and Interest. As only a lower flat network fee exist for Interact, merchants are the only ones that would logically offer anything for customers using them. But the difference really doesn't seem to be worth them bothering giving people 2-3 tier level pricing.

To put it into numbers at $100 transaction it's like 6 cents for a interact and $1.5-2 fee for a credit card.

Just the reminder that

A) These people don't have the numbers:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-janet-brown-may-2025-poll-separation-sentiment-1.7544074

B) The Vast majority of Alberta is treaty/crown land which they don't have rights to take with them.

The only way these people are seperating from Canada is committing treason and working with Trump. It's unbelievable after what happened to Ukraine in 2022 these people are dumb enough to give Trump a reason for a invasion.

The article is from 2023 and the source is a anti abortion site. The big red flag for me was the tweet from Pierre Pollievre saying how Conservatives are there to help people.

From what I've seen when Japanese people saw the footage and context of the conversation they do believe it was more about older generation moving on.

Dr Narita has now told The New York Times his comments were “taken out of context”, and the paper reported that he added “they related to demands for older people in leadership positions to make way for the younger generation”.

 

Who and how much:

Consider an annual tax on the net wealth of families with rates of one per cent above $10 million, two per cent above $50 million and three per cent above $100 million.

This means the first $10 million of any family’s wealth is entirely unaffected by the wealth tax. Based on modelling of the first year of this wealth tax, the bottom 99.4 per cent of Canadians would pay nothing, while only the richest 0.6 per cent would pay any amount. This means that only about 100,000 families across the country would pay any amount under the wealth tax, with 10,000 wealthy enough to fall into the second-highest bracket and 3,700 in the highest bracket.

This narrow tax on the wealthiest few would raise an estimated $39 billion in its first year, $62 billion by its 10th year and $495 billion cumulatively over a 10-year window.

How:

an effective wealth tax must make use of extensive third-party reporting of assets, particularly from financial institutions, rather than relying too heavily on self-reporting as in the case of some older wealth taxes.

The long story short is that in nine years, over the lifetime of the Trudeau government, federal subsidies to business more than doubled through the introduction of over 100 new programs. Every Canadian went from paying just over $310 to businesses large and small to over $800 per year in 2023/24.

Report key findings: https://infopost.ca/wp-c/u/2025/05/f1-iic-key-findings.pdf

  1. Amend the Postal Charter. It cannot continue to require impossible-to-meet delivery standards. Daily door-to-door letter mail delivery for individual addresses should be phased out and community mailboxes established wherever practicable. Daily delivery to businesses should be maintained.

  2. The moratoriums on rural post office closures and community mailbox conversions should be lifted. There is no persuasive case for a moratorium on closure of once rural, now urban, post offices. Canada Post already has the Delivery Accommodation Program in place for Canadians who cannot access community mailboxes. It should be reviewed and, if need be, enhanced, and it should continue.

  3. Include in the two collective agreements all items agreed to in collective bargaining prior to the labour dispute. Parties should attempt to narrow differences in all partially agreed-upon items. New collective agreements should include and reflect tentative agreements (subject to agreement as a whole) reached in Commission-facilitated mediation (RSMC and STDP).

  4. Negotiate changes to the collective agreements. Canada Post must have the flexibility to hire part-time employees working part-time hours to deliver parcels on the weekend and to assist with volume during the week. These employees should be paid the same rates and be subject to the same terms and conditions as regular employees, including access to pro rata benefits, or payments in lieu, and pension. Priority for these positions should be given to existing employees.

  5. Negotiate changes to the Urban collective agreement. There is no justification for collective agreement provisions that preclude an employer from assigning work for hours already paid (except by voluntary overtime).

  6. Negotiate changes to the collective agreements. Pilot and then introduce dynamic routing. Canada Post must also be able to change routes daily to reflect volumes to avoid trapped time and overtime.

  7. Amend the time-consuming approval process for postage increases

Summary that brought us to the amazing quotes above.

http://archive.today/2025.03.29-204249/https://nationalpost.com/news/mark-carney-plagiarism-accusations

  • Mar 28th National Post broke a exclusive story where Mark Carney apparently plagiarized his 1995 Oxford doctoral thesis
  • There's only a single person of significance providing anything worth discussing which is some overlapping phrases in the 300 page thesis but does not substantiate the plagiarism.
  • Mark Carney's doctoral supervisor responds:

Margaret Meyer, Official Fellow of Economics at Nuffield College, in the provided statement. “Mark’s thesis was evaluated and approved by a faculty committee that saw his work for what it is: an impressive and thoroughly researched analysis that set him apart from his peers,” added Meyer.

Which bring us to this from CTV (infamous for far right pandering as well last week) on Apr 1st: https://files.catbox.moe/h2ze4b.mp4

Reporter asking if Carney will continue to attack them when he doesn't like their work.

NP ends up squeezing like 4 articles out of this crap. Only to have this gem of a quote drop.

Professor A: Carney straight up copy pasta'd his Thesis

Professor B: This is the "most sophisticated plagiarism" he's seen.
