thebureau.news is not a worthwhile source of information. It was founded by Sam Cooper after he was fired from Global News for his shoddy “journalism”.

‘China’s fault!’, says Canadian reporter caught using movie footage as ‘casino security footage’

Lives ruined, no ‘traitors’ found: the cost of baseless reporting on Chinese interference

The Dangers of Speculative Journalism: A Case Study on Sam Cooper’s Misreporting

It’s fine to be critical and wary of China. But when you sink to using The Bureau as a source it’s hard not to think you’re agenda posting.

Anyone with any experience with addiction understands that the desire to beat it has to come from within the addicted or it won’t stick.

Canada sends its regards.

Who brought up Poilievre?

And then he makes carbon capture a central plank of what he’s planning to do. Deceitful snake.

Don’t forget that the reliant nature of our economy has been a work in progress policy of the US for decades. Trump wouldn’t have the leverage on us that he does if NAFTA were never signed, for example. Trump is especially virulent and too stupid to keep his mouth shut, but the US has never been a friend, they’ve always been trying to get us into a submissive position. Previous administrations were just wise enough to keep it quiet and friendly-seeming on the surface.

Why wouldn’t she talk about a report that recommends doing everything she put it in place to recommend? Despite the unpopularity of each recommendation?

Hell, even the URL.

Interestingly, if someone links you to one of the files directly, there is no wait or redirect to the wait page.

My only point is flooding the market with cheap labor has a ripple effect that brings down wages as a whole, not just for those being exploited. Nothing I said suggests that immigrants are to blame by “taking our jobs”.

Please. People who use Marxist language to justify their xenophobia are the fakest “leftists”.

This is a short sighted view. Immigrants don’t just “take a job”. They also require food, shelter, transportation, entertainment, etc, all the things that create demand, the actual job creator. To the extent that our immigration suppresses wages, it’s because we bring many of them in as TFWs. If we just made it easy for them to get citizenship rather than forcing them into an easily exploitable position wage suppression would be much less of an issue.

I wonder if people realize that if we were to (as a thought experiment) get rid of all immigration but replace that entirely with homegrown birth rates, it would exacerbate the “problems” with population growth far more than doing it with immigration. Instead of bringing in working people who can start contributing to the economy essentially immediately, we would be bringing in children who would be drains on our resources for the next 18 years until we can educate them and get them into productive roles. The benefit of immigration is that some other country pours the resources into turning a child into a productive adult and then we reap the rewards.

If the funds couldn’t be raised then clearly there is little public demand for this monument. Why is the government backstopping funds for it?

You are right that the way you laid it out in your previous comment is the way it is in practice. Almost all votes are whipped. Local representation (federally) is mostly in name only.

The way whipped votes are standard in Canada means that in practice you are voting for a party.

Pizza isn’t “bad” for you. Eating it excessively might be bad for certain health related goals, losing weight for example. But having a couple slices of pizza isn’t unhealthy the way smoking a cigarette or consuming alcohol is unhealthy. You can absolutely design a balanced meal plan that includes eating pizza occasionally.

Wow, how did this condescending dumbass manage to lose an election to Donald fucking Trump? I guess we will never know. It was her turn!

You have to get a peach that was allowed to ripen on the tree and eat it as fresh as possible to get that experience consistently. I never knew how good a peach could be until I visited the Okanagan for the first time.

I feel like this is burying the lede. Grok would kill 4.1 billion people before killing Elon Musk?

Mark Carney promised that the federal government’s forthcoming Climate Competitiveness Strategy—his government’s first emission reduction plan—will focus on “results over objectives”

Then makes carbon capture a central part of the strategy. Give me a break.

Anyone pushing carbon capture is a shill pushing bullshit.
