the party is taking a stand against a policy that disproportionately affects wealthy people and big corporations.
What about every single other policy that's even tangentially related to affordability that disproportionately affects everyone who isn't wealthy and small businesses?
There's no need to water a lawn even if you "need" one. There's nothing wrong with brown grass, it'll change back once it rains.
The most insane part to me is that the minimum threshold to start cutting back OAS is $80,000 when it's only $35,000 for the CCB. This should be flipped, a fundamental requirement of the CCB is that you have a whole extra person (or more) to take care of. How does it make any sense that a senior needs more than double to live on than a whole family?
This has to be one of the weakest ~~bunch of whining~~ arguments from any of the bankers, executives, etc. He's not even saying it will do any damage, just that things won't improve. How does an increase in foreign investment improve our standard of living? By sucking all the profits offshore?
Jokes on him, I'd pay nothing because that's my only hope (very much for lack of a better word) at owning my own home.
I grew up in a small community on Vancouver Island, my parents still live in the same house. When I was growing up there used to be dozens of kids on our street/neighbourhood. Over the last few years the only people who could afford to move in were people near or past retirement. Now there's only 1 out of 30 houses with kids, and I don't think a single other person is young enough to have kids if they wanted (maybe someone from my generation who couldn't afford to move out). It's really killed the vibe of the neighbourhood.
Yeah, as much as I think this is a stupid idea I don't think it's as bad as Walmart trying to implement Costco style receipt checkers. The less human involvement the more I'm likely to screw up and miss scanning something. Definitely by accident obviously, I wouldn't want to steal from a faceless corporation that only reluctantly employs anyone.
I recently went to a mall where the baby change room was separate from the washrooms, except you had to walk through the women's washroom to get to it. And the actual location meant there was no reason they couldn't have had a separate door directly out into the hall.
This is awesome, II was probably my most played game of that generation. It's too bad they didn't add 4 player splitscreen from the Xbox version as that's how I spent most of my time with this, but I'm not going to complain about a good thing and it's great they didn't remove splitscreen entirely like way too many new or remastered games.
Realistically though I can't see many situations I'd be able to get 3 other friends in the same room to play splitscreen and on the off chance I do I still have my original Xbox and disc with 4 working controllers.
They might have different laws in Ontario but in BC that's also the way to do it.
If they're on the bike they're considered a vehicle and have to cross the road in the same way a car would*.
If they're walking the bike they're treated as a pedestrian and must walk across the crosswalk
*( There are exceptions, such as multi use trails, but they are either clearly marked to both the road and trail users or they have a stop sign for cyclists)
Exactly, you can throw all the incentives you want at me and I'd be happy to switch today, but my landlords don't care because they're not the ones paying the carbon tax.
Imposed arbitration is bullshit.
