You’re half right, but it’s the concept of “normal” that even makes “abnormal” a thing. If you stop believing in “normal” we’re all just people and no one is abnormal cause we’re all just ourselves.
It’s actually freeing in my opinion. “Normal” is mostly used as a cudgel to exclude those deemed “abnormal”.
Yup no surprise.
There’s a lot of progressive voters who go hoodwinked by this man. True wolf in sheeps clothing.
You need to do some unlearning from the “blame Trudeau” propaganda.
This is an excellent overview of the Canadian structure of Federation: https://www.slideserve.com/maxim/democratic-government-canadian-style-powerpoint-ppt-presentation
Slide 4 will be most instructive:
The Federal gov’t supports healthcare through funding, but if you actually care about healthcare, blaming the Liberals is just ignorant.
…if the industry could get production levels back to historic levels, it could help keep forestry-dependent communities vibrant into the future.
The entire industry is in decline because of over harvesting in the past. This is just wishful thinking, lol.
If the BC gov’t wanted to save small communities that rely on logging there’s an excellent report written at the NDP’s behest on just how to do that. However those reccomendations would mean less profit for the large corporations hell bent on clearcutting every last tree and packing up their mills and killing towns.
So naturally this report and it’s reccomendations have been completely ignored.
Tarrifs have never been the problem.
Pipelines as “honourable” 🤣😂😆😝🤣
Roblox is only interested in exploiting you as cheap labour.
Carney, closing the offshore loophole? Not likely.
More than just a bit.
The article opens with:
I just finished reading the late David Graeber’s book Bullshit Jobs and it’s got me thinking about the reforms to the civil service that Prime Minister Carney has been promising.
Well you helped them errode local options, good you’re ditching them finally.
ICE isn’t “imprisoning” people, that implies some sort of due process.
Because what they want is an injunction against a law that has vague limits + goals and a clear path to violating treaty obligations. Carney didn’t run with this in the platform, no Canadians were consulted on this.
The harm of failing to consult on such a rushed piece of legislation is the harm. Just think what PP would do with these powers? Even if we believe Carney will act honouably, this legislation opens the door to all sorts of damage in the name of “projects of national interest” for all federal gov’t’s to come.
If they don’t ask for damages the implication is that there’s no damage that needs restitution so no action is necessary from the courts to address the zero harm.
“And so, we simply applied precedent. There’s no magic in the dollar amount. It’s a substantial amount because the breach in this case is substantial …”
Villify these folk however you want but they’re the only thing standing between us and Canada cranking up the climate crisis. I support them 100%>>
This is how bringing a lawsuit works. You need to quantify the “harm” and the amount here is to signify the scale of the harm to the court, not to seek this amount. The lawsuit uses this 100 million amount because of precedent, according to the article, which means similar cases specified similar amounts.
However what they’re asking for is the injunction, not damages; there’s unlikely to be any amount paid. Even there was an awarded amount this would be like a highball offer to start a haggling process, not a final selling price.
With the crisis becoming apparent, and the ever growing number of unemployed and disaffected youth with nothing to lose, you’re spot on.
But no one votes for those politicians 🤷
In the US.
Most countries wouldn’t care at all.
Ha!
If that’s what record setting oil production and a massively over budget pipeline on the federal dime feels like… Smith is a pansy knocked over by a gentle pat.
“Punched in the face”, sure 🤣
No no, it’s actually: Fiscal Responsibility™
Which is completly different from being fiscally responsible.
Welcome to BC where the Liberals are right-wing cranks, the NDP are neoliberal corporate goons, and the Conservatives are… well… Conservatives
Or maybe it has something to do with numerous countries issuing warnings about traveling to the US, on account of the gov’t sponsored kidnappings 🤷
