If by taxes you mean spending them on bullshit sure.

He spent a quarter billion dollars so a select few retailers can make a bit of profit a year early.

There is nothing the liberals can do to alter the next election. They have 10 years of baggage and a different face isn’t going to change how the electorate feels about that. First past the post will ensure the liberals don’t form a government after the next election.

Part of the problem is that every party wants a different form of electoral reform. This means either one rams it through with a majority and the others spend forever calling foul or they just bicker amongst themselves forever.

Yeah their argument here seems to be “they have alternative vote and look at their polarization” and it isn’t clear at all how voting system is at all related to polarization.

So one thing to understand is that the mint makes more than just Canadian currency. Usually things like this are sorta like advertising their abilities to any perspective customers. Of course they sell to the collectors market as well

It was a singular event that was broadcast all over North America. Following that police departments in the states started getting surplus AR-15s.

North Hollywood shoot out mostly.

The Americans decided they needed them and of course we were not far behind for reasons.

I’ve been trying fin Droid which works well but it’s definitely a work in progress.

The CBC really needs to work on its technical commentary.

I feel like it was much stronger in the early 2000s and 2010s but I also suspect that was because they broadcast fewer events. Now with streaming they need more commentators and the field isn’t that deep in a lot of the summer sports.

It won’t matter what he does, we will swap to the cons on the next election because it’s been 10 years.

FPTP always trends towards a 2 party System.

It’s why I laugh when people think the Republican party will be non electable in the US. Give it a couple terms and people will want the Dems out.

He also provided color commentary on people eating bugs.

I mean that is true but there is some nuance.

At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.

They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.

The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.

Usually they decriminalize because that is easy and then they don’t follow up with the increased support services.

Then it’s all shocked Pikachu when nothing changes or it gets worse.

This looks like more of that.

Luxury needs some heavy sneer quotes. They are all made of low quality materials and then they put a stainless steel fridge in there and some quartz counters and call it luxury.

You might say he was very svelte

The word cancelled has lost all meaning.

Given the fact that other book stores have been going under left right and center for a decade I would expect that the niknak section is one of the few things keeping them a float.

Hard to compete with Amazon when you have to pay for retail locations and staff and still sell at the same price.

Funny you say that ah

For real though I use a down stream arch distro.

Installing arch manually is a good learning experience but I’ve got other things to do.

I understand it’s not for everyone but I jumped ship to Linux 10 years ago or so. The defining moment was me disabling Cortana only to have her reappear after an update.

At least with Linux when I’m fighting the OS it doesn’t feel like the OS developers are fighting back.

Except when it comes to SSDs.

Under some work loads they just get chewed to bits long before they are obsolete.

I use Koodo and get 80GB for $50

I don’t understand at all what value add the flag ship brands have. Telus, Rogers, and Bell all seem to just be the same offer that is more expensive than their “discount” brands.

They are referring to the people in this thread are debating about her spending habits without looking at the bigger picture.

We are the crabs.

That’s by design.

Dougie promised me a buck a beer rabble rabble rabble

I mean that is a pretty sizeable qualifier considering most people don’t get MDMA directly from the source.

Like many other drugs it should be regulated and sold legally so that is less of a concern.

Yeah but stories like this tend to make people ask the question “What is required to be ‘native’?” and then you start to get into the various systems required to determine band membership.

They should set up a mastodon instance like the BBC if they have not already.

It feels like most of these rules tend to lack any sort of enforcement mechanism which means a couple people will get made an example of but by and large the problem will remain.

It is gonna be the second one and you know it.

I mean if you wander around Toronto enough you’ll see some pretty bat shit stuff put on posts around town. Usually it’s about “the Jews” or slightly more coded “Canada for Canadians” type stuff though.

aha the internet as you know it was not born in 1983 unless you are mostly interacting on lemmy with email and ftp

I mean this deal is basically corporate welfare for Canadian industry but I guess the political ramifications are nice as well.

The government has been trying to make Canada a go to country for nuclear power expertise. I guess we will see if it pays dividends.

Even the heaviest electric car has nothing on a tractor trailer.

Most of the damage to road infrastructure comes from big rigs.

Transunion doesnt need to do a survey to find that out, they leak info all the time (just like equifax)

Credit Rating agencies suck.

The ground does not freeze that deep until you get to very northern latitudes but yea you do need the space for horizontal loops which not everyone is going to have.

Ground loops just have to be a bit under the frost line, more like 3 meters deep than 30

Yeah, and people are apparently not super pumped about being warehouse pickers either because online ordering is only going up.

I don’t even need to do any recycling or composting. Just open my fridge, it is all plastic with a few glass bottles.

Dougie probably has a “friend” selling the only cursive writing curriculum still in existence.

Ground loops are a great choice if it is an option since the ground loop is often on the right side of the equation, cooler than air in the summer and warmer than air in the winter.
