Fb was successful because it targeted small groups to start. I think 8 universities, one was western. They got to be ubiquitous there then slowly expanded. So people could see why it was desirable.
Picking up random people from around the internet hasn't worked on the multiple attempts starting with diaspora.
I've been noticing more ads posted up in the neighborhood recently, I feel like people who are off Facebook are looking for new ways to contact those outside their social circles.
Isn't bylaw responsible for that?
The fact they were able to do this just shows the impunity of drivers at flouting the rules.
You have to bring your own gun?
well glad we settled that. :)
Let me know if Carney ever does anything about this after any amount of time... Other than offer them a contract, give them a business grant, or adopt some international policies that assist them in their evil deeds. Somehow I don't think time is the limiting factor.
PS I did a websearch to check it hasn't happened yet lest I be forced to immediately eat my hat. top hit is some job posting ala "GardaWorld From $18.50 per hour Carney, 08069, United States Full time" lol
thanks for posting the actual info from the article. For clarity the question was:
Have you changed your alcohol-buying habits since the tariffs came into effect?
I am amused by "I've been drinking less" because it is not at all mutually exclusive with the 2 "Yes" answer. And some scenarios are not even possible
I also highly doubt 12% of people are drinking less. I wonder what the baseline self reported rate of "drinking less" is at any given time. I imagine there is seasonal variation.
Hasn't the LCBO made an organizational decision to boycott US products?
That's not a consumer-level decision and I imagine accounts for a lot of it (assuming the self report is accurate).
kids never even pretending to wear helmets on these things
someone i know was going for a walk and chanced upon a mangled child waiting for EMS to show up
52 per cent of all e-scooter injuries we’re seeing involve riders below the legal age
Do they at least give these people and their kids some sort of traffic rules class or something?
I don't know what the answer here is, it seems like a job for Public Health.
Give away free bicycles? What was wrong with bicycles?
I scrolled all the way up 10 levels of comments, where admittedly people are kind of riffing. You should do the same. The top comment is this:
Another beautiful canadian value that carney is talking about
And I don't see anyone saying anything subsequent about shutting down of anything.
What I am saying is that this company is facially evil. They are not even putting on much of a show otherwise. They are likely violating all kinds of laws at different levels.
Any government can place laws, regulation and boundaries on the actions of companies which are housed within it. If you scroll up I linked to a federal department which does just that. Theymake decisions about enforcement. I think it would have been possible at any time over the history of this company for the federal government to make use of the tools at its disposal to prevent some horrors from taking place. Not doing so was and is a choice. This is a giant company and even if you or I just learns of it this week, the federal government has been aware of it for the whole time.
The other person was making a joke about Carney's euphemisms. I think the government as a whole institution is to blame and PM is a component of it.
obviously they got this job because it's the kind of thing they do, which has been public information for a long time, they even post it to their website.
think of the range of what "private CIA empire" describes
And especially with no prior information available suggesting a vast crime network!!

In late 2024, with the support of a group of sophisticated investors, he led the largest private buyout in Canadian history, and one of the biggest private equity deals globally, valuing GardaWorld at $14 billion with Stephan Crétier now owning 70% of the company alongside selected management.
no need to be so nasty
