So, if I said "I'd like a burger, but not too much ketchup or mustard," would you put a little mustard on it, or no mustard at all? When I see "no excessive capitalization or grammatical errors", I assume they don't want excessive amounts of either, while you're saying they don't want excessive capitalization and no grammatical errors at all. Seems an odd interpretation, linguistically.

Trudeau having a mandated doesn't mean he has carte blanche to violate the constitution. Unconstitutional laws have been passed, and struck down, before, and doubtless will be again. I'm not saying this particular situation is violating the constitution, but saying someone is elected prime minister means they can do whatever they want, or that it's legal to do so, is demonstrably false.
You are correct. That was a hypothetical comment that is absurd now as the ones about not making a Dyson shell sometime in the future if civilization doesn't collapse first.
Well, given that the earth only utilizes about 1 billionth of the sun's energy, so I think we could have both with just a little effort.
So Chris Columbus gets back to Spain and says, "And the whole point of this is to build a city on the west coast that will be populated by over 12 million people," at which point he is laughed out of court.
LA would have been a ridiculous idea to the Europeans when America was first discovered, and no one would have said it was feasible at the time, yet there it is, just another achievement built on the successes of thousands of years of civilization. I don't see why a Dyson swarm or other megasteuctures would be any different.
They aren't in orbit, and they aren't in orbit around a star, so not really part of a Dyson swarm (and also technically don't add to the energy available to our civilization), but I still approve of your solar panels. You could argue that the ISS or the few solar orbit satellites we have are the start of a Dyson swarm even if they don't add to our energy pool.
Once again, misleading to the point of being intentional. A implies B is not the same as B implies A. Having UBI be guaranteed regardless of income is not the same as income being guaranteed regardless of UBI. So why do you keep insisting that it must? At this point I have to assume intent rather than ignorance.
That has no bearing on what your income from your job is. Pretending this won't have any impact on the value of jobs to both employers and workers can only be intentionally obtuse. That's like saying that raising minimum wage will have an equal impact on the hourly wage of all employees.
This assumes that people wouldn't take the same job for less pay if they were guaranteed a fixed amount that more or less made up the difference. If I work a job where I make $50,000/year, and I went to a world where I made $20,000/year UBI and $30,000/ year from my job, I could end up ahead under this scheme with the only additional cost to the economy being my possibly lowered taxes. Under this plan, raising taxes and lowering minimum wage/wage expectations means there would be at most a slight change to corporate taxes (and some jobs would have to pay more when you factor in UBI because desperation would be less of a factor for what people are willing to put up with).
So, realistically, the only cost would be whatever is required to get whoever is below the set line up to the set line, for individuals, corporations, and the government. This would also depend on people who are already making more than UBI to take a "pay cut", and for corporations to not resist paying more taxes to balance the lower payroll costs. So it's never really going to happen.
Best reason, and a legitimate reason to not listen to anything. What exactly is the point of consuming art you don't enjoy?
Well, there's nothing stopping Poilievre and his wife from selling the rental properties they own, which should help remove some conflict of interest they may have in this issue which is so important to many Canadians, and he doesn't even have to get the approval of anyone but his wife to make it happen (and that only for one of them).
Apparently it's surprisingly hard to not vote for Asian Jim.
