LE looks interesting, no SteamLinux support though, so I guess I'll stick with PoE.

That's exactly what I took from reading the original article. You'd have to want to see something else in order to see it some other way, or be an incompetent reader.
Time to boycott poutine then.
Everyone always asks why is American cheese, but never how is American cheese.
On spec, on time, on budget. Failure to meet those goals is a result of piss poor planning.
She probably thinks the Native Americans are thankful that they now have all those nice reservations to live on as well, compared to the conditions they had before the Europeans came.
I'm well aware of that, I'm referring to the original poster's thought thread.
the Government of Canada should consider introducing a windfall profits tax on large, price-setting corporations to disincentivize excess hikes in their profit margins for these items
Right, but it's broader than just targeting 3 large grocery chains. AFAIK there's no current law that allows the Government to tax an individual at a rate that isn't on the books, and something like this is still years away (it's just a recommendation after a year of study for starters).
It doesn't help anyone struggling to put food on the table in the short term sadly, but hey let's all just blast off into stupid land and suggest taxing them is the easy answer that will solve all of our problems. This isn't Facebook, and the original poster's suggestion was fucking retarded.
And we see what happens with every other law that tries something similar. The law spends months or years in deliberation, and eventually when it passes it's not clear enough of what a 'grocer' is, or whether individually owned franchises count, etc.
That's why none of this shit ever amounts to anything but noise.
The gov’t can request info from the CRA on profits the big grocers make, compare them to pre-pandemic numbers and adjust their tax rate.
You can't adjust the tax rates of INDIVIDUAL companies.
He should tax the fuck out of them
Ok, but realistically now, how would you even do that. What would be the law you'd implement to allow you to do that? That's not how taxes work at all.
And they would be wrong.
