I feel Conservative generally means small government and limited government control with more of a free market approach, would a conservative support authoritarianism?

He meant it, he’s just rolling it back for optics. The average conservative voter in Ontario is likely to agree with his initial comment.

Carney is already removing their ability to block projects if you haven’t read the news.

Then may as well just remove segregated prisons, because it makes zero sense to trust prisoners to not game an easily gamed system. You’re insanely naive if you think that they won’t.

Our standard of living depends on US proximity, we don’t have the business environment to do anything except resource extraction.

They don’t want housing prices to fall, which affects every poor person regardless of disability or not. We simply fell for it again as Trudeau said the same thing, the Liberals will lie every time to get elected.

From the party that kept trying to push censorship laws, is anyone surprised?

Michael Geist will keep making articles until Canadians learn.

Well it’s six right now, you think inmates are good stewards of the honor system?

Was I somehow banned for saying this? That’s a pretty wild bar for being labeled a transphobe. I’ve got nothing against trans people, I have something against abusers of the system.

https://thundermail.com/ is coming soon and should have a private VPN bundled.

There are currently six trans people incarcerated in Quebec provincial prisons. Six. That’s 0.1 percent of the incarcerated population. There’s no data indicating how many of those people have or haven’t had bottom surgery, mind you. Regardless, it’s clear that we’re talking about a tiny fraction of people. This is a tactic from the anti-trans playbook that we’ve seen used over and over: taking an issue that affects a minuscule segment of the population, blowing it out of proportion and using it to roll back human rights protections.

If anyone can say they are a women and get moved to a women’s prison then who wouldn’t, I know I absolutely would, what percentage of men want to be locked up with men rather than women?

You’re the top of the pecking order in a women’s prison, you get to see things you don’t in a men’s prison, and theres perhaps opportunity for some action.

“When we said make housing affordable what we meant was make a tiny handful of affordable rentals thats well below population growth. Meanwhile we are paying half of developer taxes in order to keep property taxes low for the ownership class.”

They’ve definitely rebranded affordable housing as crappy government rentals and not actually affordable housing. But they got the youth vote already, what do they care.

Seems to just be a low watt APU.

Intel’s drivers are always very Linux friendly I’ve found.

The ring of fire is mining, which is required for EV, which is the “green” industry of the future they are always talking about. We build lithium batteries for EV and renewable usage; which displaces oil usage, which removes smog, and hopefully should be more efficient in the long term.

Indigenous have their hands out for free cash as they always do, and that kills this industry like it does everything else in Canada. Hence why we are second to last in per capita GDP growth in the entire OECD. How poor do we need to be before some cynicism kicks in and we stop cosplaying, this is peoples livelihoods we’re wrecking.

The economic troubles are immigration. What happens is you have QE and 0% interest rates, to deal with Covid, then you have a labor shortage and “quiet quitting”; as per the phillips curve in economics where inflation and employment are inversely coorelated. Then you have mass immigration to fill the temporary QE induced labor shortage. Then you have the BoC raising interest rates, even more so than expected given Trumps tariffs. Then you have a reversion to the mean for employment, and a lot more workers that can no longer be absorbed.

So its all excess immigration. We arent meant to drastically distort the market like this to fill temporary lulls or highs in the economy, to hide falling GDP growth and then losing the election. I’m not a mustached villain, I simply have a single mom sister who can barely get by as an education assistant and think what we did is despicable.

are more likely to fall into the lower income groups and less likely to be among employees making over $100,000 a year.

I’d like actual statistics presented in a sane way. Obviously if white people are predominant then it is more likely they would be one of the people making 100k or more, just as they will be more likely to be depressed with their job or suffer a fatal car accident from exhaustion.

China is stockpiling coal. Because it has an advantage of storability and is non-volatile. They also keep opening coal plants.

If we assume China will be producing our goods for the next 30 years then its safe to say coal will be in demand. If we do ban their imports because we decided to actually do something about climate change, besides importing people from low carbon areas and pushing urban sprawl via regressive zoning laws, then our entire economy will collapse due to rising interest rates.

The CBC said it was based on a fake story, that there was no discovery of mass indigenous graves.

Meanwhile the housing minister says prices shouldn’t fall. Which of course means they dont want supply of multifamily homes to increase enough for prices to fall.

Immigration is also still well above housing completions so why would prices fall?
