@Polysesouvient @WinnipegNews Quoting someone who admits they know nothing on the subject is right on par with your organization, wouldn’t expect anything less from you

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR @WinnipegNews] Firearms protest puzzling Re: Gun owners rally at city hall (July 14)
"I am puzzled by the comments offered by attendees at the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights rally. One person suggests the gun policy will 'take away freedom' and that gun ownership is an 'essential right.' Raquel Dancho, MP for Kildonan–St. Paul, said that the policy targets 'family artifacts and heirlooms' and that owning guns is part of the 'Canadian identity.' Admittedly, I don’t have a clear understanding of #BillC21 and the gun #buyback policy, but I am at a loss to understand how military-style assault weapons could be family heirlooms, or an essential right, or even be necessary to hunt for food. My idea of Canadian identity and freedom is being able to live without the fear of being killed by the gunfire of a criminal or paranoid person. This seems to happen daily in the United States, with their professed 'right to bear arms.'" -Annette Lowe

@Serenity5018 @btaplatt @josh_wingrove Based on what? His complete transparency? His knack for telling the ”truth” as he sees it? What has he done to earn your blind faith?
English

@btaplatt @josh_wingrove That's how misinformation gets spread because Bloomberg said it it's fact I think I'd rather believe Carney thanks.
English

Bloomberg has the text of the bridge deal. It confirms our earlier reporting: there's no clause about money going to Canada's debt before revenues are split with the US. Only operational expenses like snowclearing are deducted. Story by @josh_wingrove bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@NightCityTimes while were at it changing the way the air moves, we'll make sure to stop all fresh water at the border as well
English

@nut_history This is what these kids see when they watch every game. It’s up to the coaches and parents to make them realize that they look like idiots.

What is Canada gonna do about 800+ wildfires polluting our air?
I think President Trump should do something because this is the worst air quality I've seen in northwest Ohio in my lifetime.
what do you think should be done? maybe it's because my brain is low on oxygen...
#wildfires #airquality #ohio #canada #trump

@Smil3yAngel You should care more that Carney hired an American to work as his COO in our government then you do that people go visit family in the states
English

@MarkJCarney The fact that more than 12M Canadians need this should be enough to force you out of a job
English

@jameszad @MarkJCarney My oil bill was 1000/month my electricity bill was 170-200 on top of that. Now with my forced air heat pump my power bill at its highest was 550 house at the same temp and I get whole home AC in the summer
English

@covelifer @MarkJCarney Furnaces work and cost much less. If there are rebates then it’s taxpayer $. Good old Brookfield.
What a corrupt country.
English

@MarkJCarney Heat pumps don’t work below 0 degrees Celsius.
You still need a gas furnace.
However - Brookfield is an investor in the useless, expensive equipment so @MarkJCarney will use you to benefit his firm.

English

@MarkJCarney Oh is that why after paying tens of thousands in taxes we still get a bill?
English

@CheriDiNovo Yeah, we're safer than Columbia too so I guess our rising crime is fine
English

Poilievre and Ford talk about "out of control crime" in Canada.
From a high of Kansas City with 28 murders for 100,000 and comparing all FIFA cities in North America, Vancouver 1.9 and Toronto 3.1 have minuscule numbers and are way at the bottom
Tell Poilievre and Ford to stop bad-mouthing Canada
English

Respectfully @MarkJCarney, praise from the #GunLobby for your answer on whether you’ll ban the #SKS - in the wake of the #CôteDesNeiges shooting - is a terrible look for a leader who campaigned on strong #GunControl. Most Canadians want #AssaultWeapons prohibited and expect your promises to be kept. (PS: tougher penalties don't deter suicidal mass shooters)
Tracey Wilson@TWilsonOttawa
Carney pivots from the question about whether or not he’ll ban the SKS to talk about bail reform and making punishments for violent crime stricter. As it should be
English

@TWilsonOttawa He says make it permanent by ending the gun grab if the gun grab is ended we have our guns back
English

Making the amnesty permanent isn’t good enough. We bought these guns in good faith and we’ve used them safely and without issue for decades.
A permanent amnesty means they’ll spend eternity in my gun room.
We’ll beat it in court instead 🇨🇦
Pierre Poilievre@PierrePoilievre
Liberals are wasting $750 million on another failed boondoggle that targets law-abiding hunters, farmers, and sport shooters, instead of going after the real gun smugglers and gangsters. Make the amnesty permanent by ending the wasteful gun grab now. Sign to send that money to secure our border and fight the real problem: conservative.ca/cpc/stopthegun…

hey @Sportsnet whose genius idea was it to update the app to show the score beside the replay of the baseball games? no need to bother watching if you post the score. change that

@Cryptoboyy_Aji pretty sure he paid for his social security all those years he worked
English

my dad retired at 59.
I’ll still be working at 59.
He had a pension.
I have a 401k I fund when I can afford to.
He bought his house at 28.
I’m 31 staring at a down payment I can’t touch.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance.
I pay $430 for a plan that still left me with a $3,200 bill last year.
Last Sunday he looked across the dinner table and said:
“You just need to be smarter with money son.”
I smiled.
Didn’t mention the economy he thrived in doesn’t exist anymore.
Didn’t mention I’m funding his Social Security while mine gets gutted.
Didn’t mention the ladder he climbed got pulled up the second he reached the top.
Didn’t mention I followed his exact blueprint and ended up somewhere completely different.
Just said “I know dad.”
Cut my chicken.
And stared at a plate I was grateful for while quietly doing math in my head about next month’s rent.
English

@TX_Duck_810 I don’t necessarily think that’s the answer. But the idea that property tax is based on the “valu of your home/property is insane a 2000sqft 2 bath house uses the same services as a 1000sqft 2 bath house.
English

I think, regardless of age, once you pay off your house you shouldn’t pay anymore property tax, why do I need to perpetually “rent” my own property from the government that I paid for 30 years to own.
Nancy Mace@NancyMace
Our seniors should not pay property taxes.

@nytimes @oldcanadaseries Too bad there is no LNG terminal or pipeline to the East Coast in Canada.
