@kiimi48366 @ztisdale McDonalds need to pay higher wages if they want more motivated workers. Unfortunately Canada's immigration policies ensure that there is ALWAYS a surplus of workers that companies like McDonalds can exploit.

@ztisdale Not too lazy but picky. A nephew is a manager at MacDonald’s. He says Canadian kids sign a work agreement, then refuse to work overnight or early morning . Lots of rescheduling required. He says Indians will work all hours.

Rupa Subramanya went from a hero independent journalist who helped exposed the truth about the Freedom Convoy, to saying we need even more immigrants because Canadian youth are too lazy to work.
She got brain rot from TDS. Sad!

@tleehumphrey I have no doubt government now works by the same playbook. Create the conditions that we can then campaign on “fixing” come election time. The line between legitimate governance and what are scams or corruption, have become complicated blurred, and on purpose.

Way back in 2003/4 in Chad, I had a country manager who used to half jokingly say that every time he proposed cutting security costs that an attack on our operations would happen.
The maybe joke clearly was I was paying people to attack us to ensure my own job security.
I’m now wondering if my former country manager went on to work at #SPLC 😎

@simonrowland @martianwyrdlord That’s was exactly the same reason for EVERY wasteful project. Canadian government just pretending that it is competent at doing anything.
English
@martianwyrdlord I just think Canada should screw Elon Musk out of having a Mars base by Canada doing it first.
We just trim a bit of the waste and it would be easily affordable.
English
Exactly correct. This is why I've been pushing back against the pile-on over the pad. There are real concerns that the whole thing is just a grift, because that's all the Laurentians know how to do. But people saying 'it's just a concrete pad' or 'rockets can only be launched from the equator' are making very stupid arguments. It is absolutely possible to build a Canadian space industry, and you have to start somewhere.
NoLifeJordan 🇨🇦🌌🚀@NoLifeJordan69
My opinion about the Canadian space program right now is that any growth is good as we are essentially starting from rock bottom. Is it small? Yes. Should it have happened years ago? Yes. But a foothold is important to get the industry started and growing.
English
@martianwyrdlord Fact is, Liberals are far more proficient at grift and corruption than building ANYTHING, that might benefit Canadians. You have to ask yourself, which scenario is more LIKELY.

Imagine if Americans and Canadians alike just bypassed our governments - how free and fair and actually capital trade would actually be.
It’s not like either side does a good job to actually stop illegal guns or fentanyl anyway.
Doug Ford@fordnation
Tariffs on Canada are only making life more expensive for American families. I’ll never back down from fighting for a fair trade deal that helps workers and families on both sides of the border.

@el_capetan @JohnLeePettim13 Yes. Fiat money allowed for the perception of an ever expanding economy. Asset holders reaped all the rewards while workers suffered through lower and lower wages. Declining wages also made starting and running a profitable business far easier than before.

@classicaviator2 @JohnLeePettim13 They reaped the rewards of living closer to the creation of the money. The dollar losing its value over time is a feature, not a bug.

Not true Sarah, my first house was 540 sq ft. falling down shack, spent 2 yrs working on that, sold it to buy a 480 sq ft shack, fixed it sold it, and then I moved into a spacious 780 sq ft shack, fixed it sold it. I was then offered a job in Ontario, underground mining mechanic, took the job and bought a 1800 sq ft shack that had sat empty for 3 yrs, even the real estate agent looked at me and laughed when I bought it. Worked 8-12 hour days 6/7 days a week at the mine and then came home to work on that shack for 20 years. Now I am back in Alberta working to build an orchard with a little shack. You see Sarah not all of us won the lottery, some of us had to work our asses off to get to where we are. And here's the thing Sarah, not once did I bitch and moan about how others had it easy, I always thanked the Lord for what I had.
Sarah Piers@SarahPiers5602
@yonkojohn They won a lottery but act like they earned it! $650,000? More like $1.2 mil in Ontario. Their sheer luck put them in this position and it had nothing to do with hard work or skill.

@PolymathPaul @JohnLeePettim13 2/ Also, black and white TV's were modern luxuries previous generations didn't have. As for avg size house, google "nail plate". An 1970's invention that allowed much bigger homes to be built much cheaper. Since 1960, everyday necessities have become MUCH MORE unaffordable.
English
@classicaviator2 @JohnLeePettim13 Families had one car, a party line, a black & white TV with rabbit ears, rarely ate at restaurants and didn't travel to far off places. The average size of a house in the 1960s was about 1,000 sq. ft. They did not have it easier. They had it different.
English
@PolymathPaul @JohnLeePettim13 1/You're conflating a few "luxuries" that have become much cheaper due to technology, with the rising costs of "necessities" like housing. 1960's families could be raised on one income. Second cars were unnecessary. Air travel is now FAR cheaper than 1960.

A complete inventory of just how manipulated and clued out the average Canadian really is. Any one of these litramy of scandals would have shown the Liberals the door.
But we are dealing with a generation of infinite ignorance and the eclipse of social awareness

Canada is not a democracy. It's not even a free nation anymore. How could it be when Parliament is sidelined for eight months, allowing the executive branch to reign unchecked? Or when foreign interference is ignored and elections are gamed? Or when courts rule that the government broke the law and nothing changes? Or when the state controls your speech, your property, your energy, your news, your guns, your healthcare—and offers you assisted suicide when the wait times get too long? Canada has become something else: a managed oligarchy with democratic trappings, where the individual exists to serve the state. Look how far Canada has fallen. Because this could be America's future overnight.

@terrynewman Nova Scotia is what happens when you keep voting for more Government “solutions”.
English
All eyes on Nova Scotia. Will the Liberals allow it to propser, or will they stall energy development, keeping it in poverty?
I grew up pretty poor in Cape Breton and remember going without expensive oil and electric heat.
Nova Scotia is consistently at the top of provinces for poverty. I often think about how much cheaper heating would've been if there'd been an Energy East when I was young, when myself and my friends went cold.

Fuck you Joe Rogan. You want to talk about all that shit Canada did during covid?
Fact: 1.23 million Americans died from Covid during the pandemic.
Fact: 60,000 Canadians died from Covid during the pandemic.
Americans were about 140% more likely to die from COVID than Canadians during the pandemic.🖕

@yonkojohn 50 yrs ago "hard work" paid off in rewards that are simply no longer available to today's working young. Boomers climbed the ladder to a better life, as did every generation before them, only this time we pulled the ladder up behind us.

Canadians are trained to point at seniors who have a $650,000 home today that they paid $19,000 for in 1964! They bought that home not knowing if it would someday be worth $30,000! No one knew the future!

BREAKING: the land where the “spaceport” is, in Nova Scotia, the company leases the land from the province for $13,500 per year.
They’re then turning around and leasing it to the federal government for $20 million a year.
For 10 years.
In addition, shortly after when the $200 million contract was announced, the chairman of the board sold 3 million shares in the company.
And in the past three months insiders have only sold shares.
The stock is up over 2295%, in 1 year.l and one of the Board of Directors, is the former Liberal Premier of Nova Scotia.
For context, a similar spaceport was built in Norway, where the government maintained 90% ownership, and the project was done for tens of millions of dollars cheaper.
Our government, on the other hand, is renting their own land for significantly more.
With zero ownership.

For anyone wondering if the Canadian Anti-Hate Network was pulling the same hate hoax stunts as their affiliates and funders at Southern Poverty Law Centre - the director once “discovered” an anti-Semitic flyer during the Ottawa protests.
Only problem is - it was from Miami.

The Chair of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is former CBC director Sue Gardner.
Whoever could have imagined that an ex-CBC employee would be involved in an organization that received funds from a foreign entity (SPLC) caught dispersing cash fuelling hate crime hoaxes?
