In most cases yes. However in the cases of fines poor people are more penalized than wealthy, so there should be some proportional consideration there.
I'm in a situation where I'm looking for jobs local to me with decent pay and benefits. I did searches on all the major job sites with my criteria, sorted how I want, striped out the session ids and saved the links in an auto hotkey script so I can quickly check each site every day....
I’m very lazy so I’d probably start by looking at filters on those sites, if i really wanted to tackle this with programming, i’d:
see if there’s an api, or rss feed for these sites, if so i’d pull that down with a cron job and do filtering locally with probably regex.
if not i’d scrape the html and pull out the relevant links with whatever the latest html parser is for the language i use (i.e. it used to be beautiful soup for python, but there’s i think a new better one).
but as i said i’m rather lazy, and haven’t been on the prowl for jobs for some time.
I know halifax has some shit history that i didn’t learn in school – i think i mostly learned about black history from american sources, and my own reading.
If you took this logic and turned it around, i could see an argument saying the moment you stop helping society why should we let you exist
I agree that in the best interests of having a pleasant place to live, or elected officials should force them to sell at not so great a profit. I feel like “they shouldn’t be allowed to exist” is a poor way to put it.
besides the example i gave actually harming people, and them not being in prison, to go from “people who don’t help society” to murder is kind of a stretch isn’t it?
you realize it’s possible to neither help nor harm society.
i am canadian, are we limited to examples only of canadian’s who harm societies, C suite of loblaws isn’t in jail are they?
I haven’t read the article…yet (after a skim I agree with the article). I really don’t know how to feel about the gay/trans issue as I’m fine with my kids being gay or trans, but I don’t want anyone dictating to me what religion or philosophy I raise my kids with, so I feel like I shouldn’t get to say what the nut jobs believe it what they tell their children (to a point)… This is tough
You aren’t a parent are you? Cause children will actually hurt themselves badly, and really do need active care at an early age.
For older children setting boundaries for your children so they aren’t assholes is “determining best interests”.
I don’t want people telling me what religion or philosophy to raise my kids in, I kind of think of this as parents rights. Of course as kids get to be adults those go away.
As a parent, this is a parenting/personal issue, fuck off and please spend my money doing useful things (like supporting health care, or housing) not attempting to protect my children.
There's "no consistent association" between police funding and crime rates across the country, according to a published study by University of Toronto researchers.
It seems like you maybe thinking this is saying police do nothing, it isn’t.
No consistent association means the data doesn’t back up higher or lower funding having an impact on crime. It doesn’t say anything about rates when the funding is zero or when funding is very high.
I think it means can’t pay to reduce crime, or not pay and expect crime to go up.
Testing for zero would be extremely difficult, because we only have one Toronto sized city in Canada.
I’m guessing here but I suspect that there’s a significant number of places with zero police presence that have very little crime. And this article suggests that there are very well funded police presences where crime still happens.
I can’t imagine it’s actually like this, im guessing their just surrounded by pro oil propaganda. So they rationalize making gobs of money by believing that they aren’t doing harm.
It’s probably really easy when everything in their life rewards them being pro oil.
If you bought your house for $600k you should hopefully be prepared to pay that $600k over time, whether or not interest rates go up.
Unfortunate reality is sometimes rates jump, predicting 10 years out what your income will be, and how interest rates change is sort of impossible. IMO a lot of this uncertainty on the part of the buyer is mitigated by history, while the banks only have to take that risk in 5 year chunks (idk if there are longer renewal periods).
faster by kicking people out and foreclosing
short googling seems like people tend to declare bankruptcy first in canada. It all around seems like a terrible situation – and not one we’d want to encourage, hence: we probably shouldn’t actively lower existing housing prices to pandemic or 2010 prices.
