The hypocrisy is what gets me... Yeah, axe the tax... But let the forests keep burning, the rain keep flooding, the heat keep broiling people and droughts starving us...

It's not rocket surgery... Make the thing that is bad for us more expensive, and use that money to make things that are good for us LESS expensive. I still don't know why there isn't a tax on gasoline and diesel and natural gas that doesn't DIRECTLY fund public transit...

And when making hundreds of billions of dollars off of the 'woke' crowd that subscribes to the 'building a better tomorrow' ideal, turning into an ignorant and unrepentant fascist piece of shit is a good way to erode market share for free, if you exclude the $46 Billion USD social media site purchase, which is now worth essentially nothing.

It worked for the orange ape down south, so why not give it a try?

Just be happy you don't know... because it's undoubtedly dumb shit, and move along. :)

I know more than one of these men that women would rather not take a chance with... The JR/AT/JP/TradWife/dudebro types. When I asked my girlfriend about the choices, she chose 'bear' immediately, and specifically called out someone we knew, saying, "Would YOU want me to encounter in the forest if I didn't know him?" And she was right -- I'd prefer she choose the bear...

And that's tragically fucking sad that someone I know is so far down the 'dudebro' rabbit hole that I wouldn't leave my GF alone with him in a compromised position.

Duh. I'm very much in the top 5% of annual wage earners in the country, and there's no way I could afford a decent cottage (i.e., where I can't see or hear my neighbours).

If you have so much money that this makes a substantial difference in your lifestyle, then you are the person this was meant to target.

Keep voting against your own interests, and keep reaping the rewards, Alberta!

Then their margins must be razor thin... Executive compensation really low...

Annnnnnd a quick check of their annual reports demonstrates that they are quite literally full of shit.

I'd argue that Russia harms more Ukrainians. And that failing to humble Russia will hurt more Europeans.

You don't have to increase it 10 fold, that just creates an overnight black market.

Banning sales to people born after a specific date is just as good a solution as any. If you want go full retar-, er, libertarian on it, let people grow their own, but forbid sales/distribution.

There is no upside to cigarettes -- it's the leading cause of lung cancer and a dozen other diseases that cost our health care system billions in each province, every year. The only people who will complain will be the companies who make billions in profit from human addiction, misery, and death.

You missed an opportunity to find out who they are, and who pays for fake reviews.
