That’s not even ROI… because the oil would have been transported using rail or another more expressive transport. So the pipeline only returns the savings from rail transport plus the net profit of the additional oil that couldn’t be transported. That would only be a fraction of the net revenue.
Then you have to consider that the government gets its returns only on tax, which is only on gross profit… So it’s another fraction of that number again.
Great another conservative petition about hating foreigners and “why are we spending money on poor countries and Ukraine”.
Get out of here with that shit.
Amazing to see police held to any standard at all. Good job thunder Bay.
What percentage of that increase is due to Ontario gutting the student loan and grant program leaving most university applicants with no other option but the army for a degree?
Just get down to the plastering shop and give the manager a firm handshake, that’s always gotten me a job! Ass busting and firm handshakes is my policy!
THIS WAS ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE A JOB!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING??? I FEEL LIKE ICE TAKEN CRAZY PILLS!!!
The solution to not finding a job is easy, just find a job that supports you with 40 hours, but also pays you for unlimited overtime so you can do this crazy become a welder diy scheme I came up with.
Wow it’s so easy! I also realised you can cure depression by just not being so damn sad anymore!
How do you think an average person has 10k and 6 months of living expenses just laying about. People who need jobs aren’t sitting on cash buying avocado toast.
There is a difference between not willing and not able.
For the low low price of 10k and 6 months of free time you too can get a job!
I’m so glad First Nations groups are saving our ass on this one because it seems no one is willing to do anything about this foreign influenced anti Canada treason happening in Alberta right now.
A flat tax+consumption tax is very regressive. Poor people would be taxed almost 20% and rich people would be taxed almost 0%. Most of their income is capital gains, against which they occasionally take out loans for consumption. Their consumption is much less than their wealth increase. Their wealth increase is much higher than their income.
Conservatives will have shame when pigs fly!
That’s where you’re wrong, because every flight ON the jet costs the same in fuel and aircrew as 50 first class tickets! So you literally can NEVER repay the costs it INCREASES with every flight!
It’s not a bunch of loudmouths, it’s enough loudmouths and enablers to enact discriminating legislation. Montreal is a wonderful city, I used to visit frequently and lived there for years, but it’s hard to call it tolerant when you’re banned from half the jobs for your religion. I can tell you even in professional work, in Montreal, the majority of my co-workers supported these types of laws such as the initial bill 21 and it’s a big part of why I left.
“This is sending a very clear message to minority communities and faith communities in Quebec, but also around the country: your rights don’t mean anything."
I believe all the data we have shows that harsher punishments don’t effectively deter crimes, unfortunately. I’m just finding it hard to justify spending 116k/yr on someone who stole 70k when we can stop her from committing more crimes for far less
Sorry for not linking studies directly but the article has a better overview than any individual narrow study.
So I get the desire to punish and get revenge, but each inmate costs us $319/day (2024). So jailing her would be spending 116k/yr on this degenerate, with no benefit to society.
We don’t need to lock her up for our safety, we just need to heavily monitor her actions and prohibit telecommunications, which is way cheaper. I hope she has a no telecommunications order for at least a couple decades so she can never pull this scam again.
I think once you factor in how much public money we spend on these losers it’s a lot easier to see the benefit of house arrest or other, cheaper punitive measures that create the same level of protection for the rest of us and our parents/grandparents.

Of course it’s Quebec. You have no personal freedoms there. No freedom of religion, and now they’re attacking freedom of gender expression. Soon you’ll have to be a white Catholic Quebecois “de souche” or go to jail!
Only place more regressive is Alberta.
It’s like you read the first sentence and go “wow this guy sucks” but then the rest of it is GREAT. I’d like to be grateful for the effort that went into this, but that first impression is hard to overcome. In the end I figure my upvote and downvote instincts cancel out lol
“100k of them” very humanizing language. “Most of the apps were fraudulent” I guess innocent until proven guilty doesn’t apply to “them”
God Lemmy.ca is turning into a neo-fascist shithole like /r/canada. What a shame
My perennial fear is that Lemmy.ca becomes a right wing shithole like /r/canada was.
