The USA isn’t the only country in the world so you take care of your shit in your own country and seeing the number of omnibus bills that pass Congress, I’m sure it could very easily pass without anyone noticing, just like most stupid laws do in your country.
Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.
King of the Hill started in 1997, Hank is 41, that means he would have been born in 1956 of the series is taking place at the same time it started (there’s a millennium episode so that pretty much confirms it), it’s just an issue of characters not aging in animated series.
it takes A LOT of driving to make up the difference
I was just correcting this part.
Ontario and Quebec have clean energy, that’s more than 50% of Canada’s population right there having access to clean energy to compensate in less than 20k km and even in the other provinces it’s not as bad as the worst examples in the article. You just made an uninformed assumption, it’s ok, it happens.
Oh fuck no, you should see the difference between me and my girlfriend when the other is asleep, I used to work night shift and she wouldn’t wake up when I came back at 4am even if we lived in a 500sq ft apartment, but she sure as hell would wake me up at 7 am by making breakfast and coffee!
Worst snowstorm I had ever seen (and I lived in a place where getting over a foot of snow overnight was nothing unusual), worked in a casino, 90+ years old lady that looks like she last ate 20 years ago arrives in her car and tells us “Wow, the roads are very dangerous, if I had known I would have stayed home!” Fucking hell! I told her “You realise you could have just turned around and go back home instead of driving half an hour, right?” She just didn’t know what to answer to that…
The only reason it “requires” a referendum is because Quebec went for that option in 1980, there’s nothing anywhere setting the separation process in stone, so technically a referendum isn’t necessary.
Alberta has the record for the longest time with the same party in power, it was a conservative party from 1971 to 2015 and they beat the previous record that they previously held that was another conservative party from 1935 to 1971.
Alberta’s NDP is conservative compared to the NDP everywhere else!
That’s a lot more than 1300 votes. Maybe your province leans towards the far right more than you want to admit, 52.63% of the popular vote going to a COVID denier that called those who got vaccinated Nazis and lied about having first Nation ancestry, that doesn’t look good to me…
No, French is my first language and I just assumed that since we use the same title for both positions at the provincial and federal level in French it was the same in English.
I’m sure you would never ever make a mistake when speaking your second language and would hope that people would just consider your have no credibility on any subject if you ever did, I mean, that sounds completely fair, right?
What’s funny is that while you’re arguing about me making a mistake about her title you’re ignoring the fact that I pointed out, Smith got more than 50% of the popular vote in a very recent election and she’s much closer to the current Republicans than from the historic progressive conservatives of both Canada’s and Alberta’s past.
No, I absolutely meant funny, you’re trying to derail the discussion by insulting me for something that is simply an honest mistake. What’s funny to me is that the only person that looks like a Smith supporter here is you because it seems like you don’t want to talk about the situation of politics in Alberta so you would rather try to discredit me instead.
At work in my department they told us we can put decorations in our (at home!) office but to try and stay religiously neutral. Meanwhile in my friend’s department (same employer) they got an email to wish employees a happy Easter back in April, happy Mawlid (celebration of Muhammad’s birth) back in September and happy Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah in October…
I’m an atheist so I don’t celebrate any of these things and to me holidays should just be spread equally to give people long weekends, but I can’t help but laugh at the hypocrisy when it comes to Christmas compared to all other holidays through the year…
To me anything religious should be treated as such, something private that has nothing to do with your workplace and only secular holidays should exist considering holidays are imposed by the government and there’s supposed to be a separation of religion and State (in my country anyway), but I know my opinion on this subject is pretty extreme.
Then people should have no issue with them being moved around so the holidays are equally divided throughout the year, right? There’s no importance to them happening on the specific dates they do at the moment, right?
There’s only five true public holidays applied throughout the whole of Canada
Quebec has their National holiday but no civic holiday. Only four provinces out of ten (two of those only for government employees), the territories and jobs under federal jurisdiction have the truth and remembrance day.
Even counting all of them there’s a big hole after the new year and the next one is… Good Friday which is 100% religious…
But at the federal level that’s 12 holidays that could be separated to get rid of religious holidays and to give everyone one long weekend every month!
There was a member of the National Assembly on radio the other day that was asked questions about the situation and she was saying that it’s something like their twelfth hunger strike and even people in the community are starting to find them a bit ridiculous…
Well, if you don’t mind losing all online content that’s more than a couple mb in size then sure, what you’re saying makes sense… Safely hosting over 1 billion videos costs money and people don’t want to pay for it directly so…
80m premium subscribers, 2.7b monthly users… Do you really think that’s sustainable without having a secondary source of revenue? Because I don’t know that many businesses that survive from 3% paying customers…
That’s just for YouTube, but there are other websites that host content that wouldn’t be sustainable without ads and that would need to switch to a paid subscription format.
Is it so hard to admit that there’s something unusual about expecting websites to run out of the pocket of the owners/employees when we don’t expect real world businesses to do so?
The US government spends more per capita on healthcare than any nation does even though it doesn’t cover their whole population, people pay for private coverage over that. Get rid of the inability for the government to negotiate prices with service/medication providers, make the government the sole provider of healthcare (meaning they can dictate how much they pay for medications because they have a monopoly) and ta-fucking-da, you just saved trillions every year.
Even if they had to buy all private hospitals, the US government is ready to spend tens of trillions on wars to find two guys hiding somewhere in the middle East, I’m pretty sure they could find the billions required to help them save trillions every year.
So you’re saying that what the Jews were victim of during WW2 wasn’t racism? Because they certainly were white!
How about the Irish? The deportation of Acadians? French Canadians seeing their language becoming illegal to teach in Manitoba? The Yugoslav wars?
By your logic it’s also impossible to be racist towards Chinese and Japanese because man, let me tell you, they can be racist as fuck towards everyone else and they were the ones in power on their side of the world for centuries!
Racism has a definition and it’s a bad thing no matter who the victim is.
It’s funny how it’s always the same whenever you’re confronted to arguments. You just insult the other party and leave the scene like you were a hero.
Also very funny you should call me a cracker when you don’t know what’s my origin, you just assume I’m white because you would be unable to accept that someone not white could realize that racism goes all ways.
If you’re looking forward then what do you need the year on year number for? What you want is future predictions, if you want to know how the price has varied in the last year you can “just go to the store” right?
