Jesus. That Poilievre adviser couldn’t have been gift wrapped for the Libs any better if she had bows stuck to her forehead.

The regulation of retail commerce, like the construction of new housing, is entirely a provincial jurisdiction over which the federal government has no powers.

Come on, . Start doing your fucking jobs.

taco,

If you’re writing about the federal failure to control grocery prices then you are an incompetent journalist.

That’s all there is to it, .

taco, to random

You know what show I sort of miss? Win Ben Stein’s Money.

taco, to tesla

Elon thinks he’s going to move out of Delaware with only like 12% of the voting shares? Lmao

No.

It would be a failure of the directors’ fiduciary obligation to the shareholders to move to a worse jurisdiction because of a petty personal grievance that is, ultimately, a win for the company itself.

taco,

@dharrison which brings us back, full circle, to the court judgment he’s throwing a moody over.

taco,

@dharrison that’s what just happened. The legal fees to Tesla alone could very plausibly be in the billions.

Abortion care access in Newfoundland is criminal.

We have two clinics. They are both in St. John’s.

The one run by the government requires parental consent under 19.

taco, to Alberta

is about to give up what little moral high ground it could muster on the issue of personal rights when it invokes the notwithstanding.

It’ll be hard to accuse the Feds when you’ve passed legislation specifically to sidestep individual rights in a way that is permanently etched into the documentary history of the world.

taco, to Canada

That’s weird, given that it literally doesn’t mention Judaism or Jewish people at all.

It’s almost like you’re full of shit, .

(Notice they didn’t attach a screen shot of the presentation this time lmao)

“Why does everyone with an education hate our worldview?” will never not be a hilarious angle for Conservatives to take.

taco,

@kevinrns last I checked no one except conservatives have removed anyone’s freedoms in recent years.

No progressive government has ever invoked a notwithstanding or banned abortions.

taco, to Ottawa

Were there ever any charges from that incident where the convoy nutters barricaded the doors to that apartment building and started a fire in ?

taco,

Or the time the robbed a Mission soup kitchen?

taco, to Canada

That thing concerns me more isn’t a rightie blowout at the polls, it’s what they’ll do when they realize the didn’t have a fucking clue after they lose again.

The idea that people are suddenly racist antiabortionist immigrant-haters because they’re sick of Trudeau was never all that credible.

taco,

Hell… Pierre’s own backyard flipped Liberal at the provincial level.

And if you’re losing to the Ontario Liberals…

taco, to Canada

You’d think they’d be able to point to a single piece of documentation then…

taco, to Canada

Pierre Poilievre, who, again, not only defended but endorsed and met with the people pictured below, who’s party hosted Germany’s , really wants you to believe that the is an antisemitic terrorist organization. 🤦‍♂️

taco, to Canada

We should tie transfer payments to notwithstandings.

Suspend one of the 10 sections of the Charter with a notwithstanding? Lose 10% of your federal transfers.

Let’s see how many rightie provincial governments collapse after failed budget votes then.

taco,

@dharrison you can’t insist on upholding a social contract you don’t believe binds you.

taco, to Quebec

I could see a whole lot of big box companies just leaving altogether rather than redoing their signs again.

It would likely be be far more lucrative for BestBuy or Walmart to simply exit the province, where they already have to open late or close early on a regular basis because of the collapse of the labour market, to just close their stores, abandon their leases, and sell online without any of the red tape.

We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs per location.

taco,

And that’s before we get to any new labelling requirements that they wouldn’t have to deal with by selling online and shipping from… say… Cornwall, a logistics hub literally across the river and on the US border.

taco,

There’s really nothing you, or the ruling , can point to convince these companies that the economy will turn around.

Ignorance breeds poverty. Poverty is bad for business. Reducing immigration will mean continued labour shortages.

And… this can’t be repeated enough: businesses have zero legal protections against unreasonable search and seizure in . That’s simple, irrefutable fact.

I’d bet there’s more than a few McGill degrees in their local c-suite to boot

taco,

Quite literally the only thing an Gestapo can’t search, seize, and compel access to is the contents of your personal home.

Are you outside of your home and facing an OQLF agent holding an anonymous complaint (they don’t need warrants), which they could easily submit themselves?

Well… you are fucked and have no recourse to the courts. Where you may be tried off-books in secret, because, again: Quebec.

taco,

Alternatively it would be very funny to me if these companies negotiated with the Mohawks and set up a BestBuy just over the bridge on-reserve and told to eat a bag of dicks.
