I agree with the general vibe of police are bad, in Winnipeg they recently killed a woman because they were driving off-road in a park at night, but the idea behind “sin taxes” are generally as a deterrent, as well as a way to try to mitigate damage to others.

I’ve been to places that are “cop bars” unknowingly, so the porcine populace may have have a DV-juice problem.

It’s taxed the way it is, because the only drug that kills more than booze are cigarettes.

Those taxes also go to help innocent people who are harmed in crimes that are often related to alcohol, like domestic violence, assault, and auto-incidents, also things like uttering threats and mischief.

Some places have Jr and Sr Kindergarten, so kids go a year earlier in those places.

In places with a 2-year kindergarten that is the case, most places in Canada don’t do “jr. Kindergarten” so kids start a year later. Just like how Ontario used to do Grade 13, and nowhere else in Canada did.

Anyone can make an account on a new instance with that name and claim to be the original person, so “same name, difference instance” isn’t a way to tell who someone is. When you spin up a new account, it’s a new account.

That being said, I don’t think your post history is highly questionable.

Have you never heard a non-American comment on the politics in the USA, saying to not vote for Trump?

just a couple of months worth of your fiat expenses at any one time in fiat.

That isn’t really a solve for people who are stealing food to eat. They don’t have one month’s expenses on hand.

That way, most of your net worth is in something that is not losing value constantly.

Over shorter time periods, the inflation-adjusted price of gold fluctuates dramatically, making it a poor near-term hedge for inflation.

From 1980 to 1984, annual inflation as measured by the consumer price index averaged 6.5%, but gold prices fell by an annual average of 10% over the same period. Gold’s returns not only fell short of inflation, but also underperformed real estate, commodities and the S&P 500.

The fact that some many people require people like Kenn to be awesome is a problem.

The title from Natpo is purposefully trying to read the leader to wrong conclusions. The title displayed on your browser tab is far more accurate and neutral:

Also, most people who want to use the TFW program need to show a certain bare minimum effort to hire people who live in Canada, but not for agriculture!

employers won’t be required to meet TFW Program minimum advertising requirements or submit proof with their LMIA application.

Then again, what the bare minimum effort to hire Canadians often looks like is job postings, and maybe even interviews, for jobs that they will never actually hire a Canadian for because that costs more than a TFW.
The difference between “required to look” and “required to find” is very large.

And also Tim Horton died because he was driving dangerously on top of being drunk and high at the time.

Commercial displays often still have buttons, at least on units that are designed to go inside.

It also doesn’t say that this was stolen. It could have been a unit replaced during a remodel.

What the premier of Saskatchewan would look like?

Yes.

There will either be a remote or just buttons on the display itself. You can select the source of what’s being displayed from a USB drive or SD card, that’s how it’s displaying the current image. Some of them have built-in casting options like chromecast.

If it doesn’t have something built it, it will have HDMI in, which makes a chromecast, roku, firestick, or even just a PC a quick option.

This displays often are not static, often displaying short video ads for seasonal items which take up the whole monitor.

Probably less than the burn-in of a taskbar or window header

Some of them are more like a giant, non-touch-screen tablets than monitors.

This probably just has this image saved into memory, and they can easily make it display something else.

I mean, he seems like an unwell person who is tweeting death threats at a politician, so being detained and placed on a psych hold isn’t completely out of the question.

The issue is that he wasn’t charged with anything. If they charged him with uttering threats during this process, there likely wouldn’t be an issue with how he was detained.

if house prices go up faster than wage growth housing will never become affordable. It’s literally the definition of a pyramid scheme

It’s not. A pyramid scheme is a business model where you get the most of your money by getting other people to join the business, instead of providing a product or service. Think MLMs

It has the chart that OP posted, but also has a picture of the bottles.

ACAB, but also, fuck people who rev their engines.

Also fuck people who do 90 in-city, run reds, or weave through traffic.

We (mostly) agree that All Cops Are Bastards because the ones that don’t do shit like this often don’t speak up, or outright defend those that do.

So, can we start saying “All Hockey Players are Bastards”? AHPAB isn’t as clean to say, but the hockey player culture is just as full of rapists and violence.

I don’t have any idea why are you posting on reddit.

Doesn’t our financial system require population growth?
Corporations are judged on how much they have increased their profits year over year, and not just that they were profitable. Once you get to a certain size, the main hurtle is the size of the market and not your ability to extract more from it.

Also, when you look at the chart, it’s basically at 2017 unemployment levels. So, the income generated through income tax should be proportionate, which means that we should be able to beef up social systems to help those without work.

Being bilingual is a metric for hiring, so some people who can say “Jim apple George” or “monet es George” will call themselves bilingual. So knowing enough to be hired, and knowing enough to actually do the job are two different things.

So, if I work at the CRA, and I go into a meeting where we’re discussing some finer points about the tax code, and how it interacts with a s85(1) rollover or eligible vs non-eligible dividends, am I going to speak a language that I am confident that everyone in the room actually knows, or the one that I might need to repeat myself 15 times or make a mistake in front of everyone at work and look stupid?

Another (better) article that this article sites:

In short, francophone public servants feel uncomfortable expressing themselves in French because their anglophone colleagues are not sufficiently fluent in the language.

More than 39 per cent of anglophones surveyed said they do not feel comfortable expressing themselves in French. Around 70 per cent cited a lack of practice speaking French while 61 per cent feared having their accent and mistakes judged and corrected. Forty two per cent also reported feeling embarrassed when their francophone colleagues reply in English after they have tried to express themselves in French.

That is part of the burden I previously mentioned. If you are being paid by anything other than cash, it is less expensive to just have a bank account.

Some credit unions will allow you to cash cheques issued from their accounts in person without a fee, some institutions will cash their own cheques with a fee, and your final option is the predatory loan places.

That will depend on the laws where you live.

Where I live, the employer needs to get permission to pay you electronically, and they can pay by cash, cheque, or direct deposit.

If you don’t consent to electronic means, they are likely going to pay you by cheque. You don’t need an account to cash cheques, it is just much more of a burden.

You are not required to put money into an account with a financial institution, but it does make basically everything in life easier if you do.

The hurtles are generally:

• lack of an ID
• lack of a Phone number
• no Address
• the need to buy a share in the credit union to open the account in the first place

The feds should not be supporting private business by harming the worker.

It might have been part of the divorce, selling the house and splitting the profits.

Generally through lack of funding, especially in areas like healthcare.

Wow… Is there any org that doesn’t protect its pedos

One that have people outside their walls that check-up on them.

Public schools often do what they can to prevent/remove sex criminals. Being alone with a child in an area out of view may get you in trouble.
Law firms, and least in Canada, remove people very quickly. The Law societies will get you.

And once again, I have heard of police and military trying to protect pedos/rapists in their ranks, but not firefighters.

Our power in Sask is dirty enough that burning gas in the home is better for the environment than using electricity for water tanks. 500% heat pumps would be better in theory, but they’re not good enough for our winters yet, and the financial costs still aren’t in their favour.

29% of the power being generated is coal as I type this comment.

Some games/software expected/relied on a certain CPU speed to run correctly. If your computer was faster than that, the software would run too fast. The turbo button let you toggle between the maximum speed your computer could go, and the speed that the software needed/expected in order to run normally.

Basically, there was an actual reason for the turbo button, it wasn’t just marketing on computers.

That’s about as far as you need to read before losing any empathy for them.

It is illegal, but kids get most content online now. So, although many countries have laws on the books against ads targeting children, it doesn’t mean that they don’t.

Juul got in trouble for doing this, using ads that were definitely not specifically targeting tweens/teens on websites for Seventeen magazine, cartoon network, and Nick jr.
