In other news, water is wet!
We used to have laws and regulations in place for stuff like this, same with the USA. As years passed they lost their teeth
Canada’s regulatory agencies feel so incredibly spineless. So many industries here are unchecked oligopolies with skyrocketing prices.
My American friends are jawdropped when I tell them how much food, internet, and cell plans cost here.
The people in charge… They’re all bought and paid for. That’s why.
Regulatory capture is a common theme regardless of industry here
Right???
You don’t get to have teeth when you’re sucking at the teets.
You lose all your teeth if all you’re eating is cookies, candy and Coca Cola everyday. Our economy is basically a toothless overweight diabetic
Except it’s not even as diverse as cookies, candy and cola. It’s just real estate all the way down.
This was very snappily phrased and made me snort my drink, well done my friend.
