“Stay Free” seems like a bad motto for them to use.

Are they admitting that they are already free right now?

I thought the whole point was to “Be Free” of the tyranny of Canada.

Do you just give up reading a comment once you find a point that semi-supports a smartass comment that pops into your head?

Combined with Alberta and a few other locations you could easily never get a liberal or NDP government again and everyone slides to the right.

Was the other half

Doesn’t have to be a majority with our idiotic first past the post voting system.

You can get a party with majority of the seats with as little as 30-40 % of the votes

Combined with Alberta and a few other locations you could easily never get a liberal or NDP government again and everyone slides to the right.

Any US state joining Canada would not be feasible for Canada, as it would simply be a peaceful American take over.

Even if just Washington joined l, they population of the state is 8 million.

That would mean 16% of the voters in Canada’s next election would be former Americans and basically decide the direction the whole country goes via peaceful democratic votes. Do you think Canada would remain Canada over the long term or do you think it would change and become closer to what America currently is?

Are we the first to have our invitation revoked? I would see that as a badge of honour

That’s interesting, the language bit. I’ve never really thought much about Irish.

The word itself changes based on the adjective you want to apply? Or is that uncommon?

Does that apply for any adjective or only a few? Like would Red rose be a different word? Little Red rose?

Absolutely, I have driven with my boss enough to know that he absolutely does not know what a safe speed is.

Especially when a safe speed for you when you were 40 is probably not the same speed when you are 60 but you are used to driving that way.

Enforcement is the issue. If you see everyday on your drive to work dozens of vehicles using the HOV lane when they aren’t allowed to, and only ever see a cop pulling someone over once every 4-6 months, how often before you also start using the HOV lane when you aren’t supposed to?

Could you go 50% and then use the free time to create some sort of side business?

There’s a “chain” in BC that’s owned and run by first Nations, only three locations that I’m aware of but it’s in three different cities…

It’s pretty decent, almost like a cross between Starbucks and Tim Hortons, but with a first Nations theme to it.

Instead of doughnuts they serve bannock with flavours like Saskatoon berry frosting or apple cinnamon. It’s very good.

They also have great coffee.

For food they have stuff like bannock with bowls of salad with various meats like salom or venison. I usually try to eat there at least once for lunch when I’m passing through one of those cities.

One thing I’ve never understood, is why the fuck do people care about stuff like “white solidarity”…

Why does someone care if their great-great-great-great-grandchild wont be white anymore because someone along the way married and had a kid with someone who wasn’t white when they are long dead?

It’s doesn’t matter at all if 1000 years from now wether or not 100% of humans are white, black, or somewhere in between.

Let alone one that looks so young.

I’m all for getting rid of 60+ year old politicians but someone who looks 30 has no chance.

Voluntary… What a waste of tax dollars developing something people won’t pay any attention to.

That’s also how rich people are rich, by being assholes.

If everyone gets to keep the cash to we then send equivalent cash to everyone else who didn’t apply at the time because they knew they didn’t qualify? Or do we just reward the people who made a mistake / lied and screw over the people who were smart enough / honest to not apply?

My parents are in a kerfuffle with some agency over COVID funds.

My dad got laid off around the time of COVID for unrelated reasons, not because of COVID or shutdowns in anyway.

He then applied for employment insurance since he qualified.

Without anyone asking, he somehow was instead put him on some sort of COVID EI thing instead of regular EI

Then later on someone decided the COVID EI thing needs to be reimbursed or something so they are asking for all the money back despite the fact he would have gotten more money from regular EI and never asked for the COVID stuff.

It’s been like 4 years now and they are still trying to get the money back and won’t even talk to them to try and fix the situation, just keep sending letters.

I’m not Arctic expert but I imagine icebreakers aren’t chipping away at glaciers.

They are probably only breaking ice that forms each winter and melts each summer so have no effect on the permanent Arctic ice.

If anyone know more correct me if I’m wrong.

Do the current laws not apply?

The companies have their standard “AI isn’t perfect take the information with grain of salt” bullshit disclaimer but I don’t see how that makes the current laws of libel, slander, and defamation any less relevant.

I just don’t think anyone had bothered sueing anyone yet for these companies to figure out the risk they are actually taking.

Why isn’t it a requirement that all sub-companies don’t have to have the parent company name somewhere on their store and advertisements?

Like, instead of just “No Frills” on the store it should be required to say “Loblaw’s No Frills” or soemthing so it’s more obvious where your money is going.
