Yeah because that's what all the money is going towards. Definitely not the incredible news coverage and investigative journalism. There's also this wild thing called "cultural programming" the CBC does, like highlighting and funding Canadian media and stories.
Fuck all the people like you complaining about them taking your tax dollars. If everyone paid equally for it, their current budget totals ~$3/month for every Canadian. If you wanna bitch about wasted tax dollars, how about we talk about the tens of billions in subsidies going to oil and gas?
The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it's time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.
Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.
You can think this all you want, but they absolutely are the party of the working class. They constantly push for policies that would benefit the working class and most vulnerable people in the country, and advocate for solutions to issues that would actually change the status quo. Their proposal for electoral reform is the best any party has come up with. They've also been the only party showing up to union rallies and picket lines during strikes.
While the Cons and Liberals have been voting together on a lot of bills, the NDP has been fighting against their neolib garbage. They might not be perfect, but your "they're all the same" garbage only makes sure we stay in the hellish austerity cycle we're stuck in.
Motherfucker I am Jewish. Don't lecture me on this shit. Maybe we've been saying it's a genocide for 70 years because it actually has been. Israel has broken every agreement and treaty they've signed, murdering Palestinians and stealing their homes all with the backing of the most powerful nations in the world. If you wanna talk about supporting terrorists, maybe look into who funded Hamas for decades. Suprise, it's Israel.
If genocide isn't the right term, you should maybe tell that to the leading genocide researchers and historians telling us that's exactly what is happening. Or maybe just read what Israel itself is putting out there.
Israel doesn't represent Jews. They are Zionists and fascists. Never again means never again for anyone, anywhere.
In my entirely anecdotal experience, MacOS is significantly better at RAM management than Windows. But it's still a $1,600 USD computer, and 16GB of RAM costs nearly nothing, it's just classic Apple greed.
The main metric has been with Adobe apps. 2017 Macs with 8GB of RAM are still able to run Premiere and a few others things smoothly simultaneously. Windows machines with the same config were crashing constantly and kept going.
But I'm still not defending Apple here. It's been 6 years, and their base level MacBook still ships with the same amount of RAM.
The federal government says it will build more than 2,800 homes on its properties, putting it on track to build nearly 30,000 homes on public lands over the next six years.
"Homes on public lands" is very different from "public housing". Public housing would work towards fixing the problem, what they seem to be suggesting only makes it worse.
Not without funding they can't. Cities got all the responsibilities for transit and housing, but none of the funding they used to go with it. The feds and provinces need to pay up, and fund cities properly, or give them autonomy to find their own funding sources.
This is part of the problem, Toronto specifically has to pay for two highways that are almost entirely used by people who don't pay for them. Building that middle density housing would fix a lot, but we'd actually still be in a difficult financial position, because municipalities here are so limited in how they can generate income. The province can override any decision a municipality makes whenever they want, and that neede to change.
In an interview, CEO Mario Peloquin says the federal government should move toward a charter that would ensure train passengers receive compensation for long delays.

He was talking about the genocide going on in Gaza right now, and said that there were no Israeli civilians, because they're colonizers. Here is a link to the bit of the podcast. Really braindead, bloodthirsty, and (I don't use this lightly, because Israel loves using the term to push their propaganda) bordering on antisemitic take. Especially when Hamas themselves are saying to the press that "any civilian causalities are unintentional".
Stacked with his really bad takes on the Ukraine war, and it gets me thinking nobody should be listening to the guy.
The guy said that Hamas is fine because he doesn't think there are any Israeli civilians. Something even Hamas disagrees with. When he refers to "both sides" here, he means that he doesn't agree both sides have human beings getting hurt.
What the fuck are you talking about? This is about as correct of a statement you could have on this topic.
Maybe your anti-union bullshit needs a reminder that union workers literally died for your rights as a worker. Y'know, like having weekends and child labour laws?
Unions can't do anything for people they don't represent. Especially when there's been rampant union busting and propaganda leading to a massive drop in union memberships and solidarity actions.
They've been trying, but when people vote against unionization, there's little they can do.
Hey did you know that "as a conservative" you're a horrible person? I can't imagine willingly chaining myself to a party that sells out every public service they can to make a buck, all while trying to outlaw trans and gay people.
Killer music scene with the Horsehoe Tavern, Cameron House, Velvet Underground, Lees Palace, and tonnes of others. Amazing restaurants of all kinds in the city, largely thanks to the MASSIVE immigrant population here. Amazing architecture, including some of the best examples of Brutalism you'll find anywhere in the world. The Toronto Islands are unlike anything I've seen in any other city. The largest streetcar network in North America that creates a very different streetscape vibe to anything else. Festivals like Taste of the Danforth and other street festivals highlight some amazing culture in the city, on top of TIFF being one of the largest film festivals in the world. And Kensington Market deserves a special shoutout for being unlike any neighbourhood I've been to yet.
You can criticize Toronto for not doing enough to support local culture, which I would agree that the Tory and Ford years really did a number on it, but it's outright wrong to say there is nothing special or distinctive about Toronto.

What is going on with 'For All Mankind' Season 4? Is a massive Mars war coming? Here's the evidence for a big shakeup for Apple's alternate universe sci-fi epic.
FINALLY someone else who sees it. I thought season 1 was a good start, season 2 didn't really have the characters evolve much? Like the gay girl starts the season hiding who she is in favour of her career, and ends the season hiding who she is in favour of her.
This turned into a rant, but the first episode of season 3 killed the whole show for me. It's rare that I watch an episode and just fully stop watching a show before the end. Y'all motherfuckers telling me "oh you'll love this if you loved The Expanse", owe me for how awful the physics of that episode are.
The liberal party that has been in power is best described as neoliberal, which is a typically right leaning ideology. Their version of it is more centerist. Regardless, calling them "leftist" is factually incorrect.
Conservatives will always make things worse. They don't serve us, they serve themselves and whoever will make them the most money. Everything you're frustrated by from the liberals will get far worse with them in power.
The only party currently offering solutions is the NDP. Their housing plans involve policies that have been tried and tested in studies and in practice, they have a real plan for dealing with the climate crisis, and they're the only ones who will make electoral reform happen, which would end the liberal-conservative feedback loop we're stuck in.

Bro shut the fuck up. "Build more homes" won't do shit unless they're affordable, which they 100% will not be from the cons. Look at Doug Ford for exactly what they'll be doing. They'll blast through environmental protections and force municipalities to build costly, unsustainable sprawl that will get bought up by corporations and speculators trying to make a profit.
As for inflation, carbon taxes have 0 impact whatsoever. Inflation is being driven by corporate greed, which will get even worse with the cons.
