As said by other users, percent is the same as per cent. per 1000 is per mille as in per one thousand(mille) see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_mille

Nice. Finally some action. But I bet the provinces would still complain and continue to under fund education.

Honestly, I agree with this.

Companies pay me to work. If they want to control my speech, i.e. tell me what I can and can't say when I'm OUT OF WORKING HOURS, then I want a part of the company.

I watched the debate from 1979. I wish Broadbend could have presented his vision better. He was a too aggressive and I can see why people voted for Joe Clark. Just on behaviour and delivery alone.

The biggest issue at the time was oil production. The NDP proposed nationization while the PCs privatization. The PCs presented the choice between Canadian ownership vs government ownership and Clark stressed that. While Braodbend focused on domestic vs foreign interference. The PCs promising "direct ownership" as opposed to "nebulus government" ownership was delivered better.

I wish the NDP embrace more demsoc principles. This will lead to focusing on distribution of power. Instead of setting up crown corporations with the board of directors being responsible to parliament, they should have proposed elected boards of directors of crown corporations be directly elected by the people on election day (maybe even sit/replace the senate) and also pitch it as alternative public revenue source.

The PCs used the NDP talking point, about domestic ownership/control and direction and flipped it against them by tying it and subverting it into direct private shareholders.

The NDP should do the same but reverse. Tie patriotism/civic duty of one vote per person to the concept of voting and controlling of natural resources through giving votes to each citizen to crown corporations and charging the PCs of removing the concept of one person one, vote. Also use fiscal conservatism against itself. Crown corporations diversify revenues. Charge the PCs of raising taxes due to reduced "income streams" for government. Lastly, tie charity to social welfare as it is the same thing.

I think voting for ministers directly would have to a part of electoral reform. A lot of people who don't vote for the only party that safeguards and advances public health care, the NDP, would vote for Health Ministers that are for universal health care.

I don't why people are down voting. U'm pretty sure OP is making fun of the conspiracy theory.

Got mine in October, along with the regular flu shot. I haven't gotten anything yet.

Well even though rumors aren't as good as the real thing. There's been no such discussion in Ottawa

I think it's both?
