Yea...UBI doesn’t work no matter how you spin it.
I’m not an economist but I know that “labour” is a pretty important variable in the equations.
There’s a small, single screen movie theatre in my town that I doubt will survive. Very sad.
It’s a really quaint family run place that still sells popcorn for $5 and drinks for $2. It’s been the only theatre in town since the 1960s, and so many memories for everyone. It’s a small town so there’s never been much to do in the first place, if the theatre is gone it will be a big hole.
I know the family that runs it and they never made much money to begin with. I really doubt they will be able to stay open.
You have no idea how bad it is.
My office building is only allowed to operate at 30% capacity. Because it’s a quite crowded building and impossible to distance everyone 6 feet.
People like me can’t work at home because my job is handling sensitive documents, and it has to be on a secure server. I can’t use a home computer or home internet and my phone calls have to be recorded so I cant use a home phone.
They have no idea when I’ll be able to go back. I’ve heard possibly SUMMER 2021. It’s absolutely insane. Who knows if I’ll even have a job by then. There’s no certainty about anything, it’s horribly depressing.
I’m more worried about my unemployment, poverty, debt, depression and mental health than COVID. I would really just take my chances.
Ugly broad, looks like a man.
When Trump is totally fine, you and the rest of Reddit will be in total agony.
Another fragile Indian crying about the trees.
MUHSAWGUNEEEE
So many Canadians are full blown NPC. They believe in any fear the government projects on them: fear of guns, fear of climate, fear of the Wuhan Flu, fear of other peoples speech, fear of their feelings getting hurt, fear of offending a minority....
It goes on and on. They are just pumped full of government fear and they lap it all up.
Think about how much other crap this government has done that the main media won’t report on.
If McKenna was a conservative this would be blasted on every news channel, website and radio station non-stop.
It’s frightening how authoritarian our media has become.
The natives blame everyone else without any proof (as is their culture).
But everyone knows it’s them. They are the ones who have no quotas on fishing and everyone knows that native greed doesn’t respect nature ever.
These are typical Trudeau voters. Justin agrees with them.
But we don’t live under capitalism, it’s not a free market.
Canada is a command and control economy under the government. Certain corporations get bailouts and subsidies. We have crown corporations and protectionism in many industries that eliminates competition, like in communications companies. We have CANCON that mandates content for television and radio.
We have business lobbies that push for more immigration and TFWs to keep wages low. We have affirmative action hiring that means labour is often not based on supply.
All the major industries in Canada - transportation, energy, media, communications, food, retail...all of them are either monopolies or oligopolies. With almost zero competition. In some cases it’s run by the government entirely and competition is illegal.
It’s The People vs. Communism
Look up the goals of the old Communist Party of Canada from the 1930s and see how many have been achieved. We are already living it.
Imagine these goons, half of whom have criminal records for all sorts of violence, lecturing us on morals and society.
This a league that literally forgives rapists and animal abusers.
Blame lies on the teachers, and the culture of single parenthood.
Fathers are usually the ones who push boys towards independence. Partly because they just get sick of paying for their kids shit and want them to support themselves.
Mothers by nature are more caregivers and protectors of their kids which encourages dependence.
So without fathers, lots of boys never learn the importance of supporting yourself. And they grow up with the mindset that other people should take care of them and provide their needs.
It won’t happen. Mathematically impossible, taxes would have to be massively raised. Like GST alone would have to be tripled.
This is another Trudeau fake promise to distract from his scandals and get NDP voters.
As soon as the Conservative government comes in they will cancel any plans for it before it even begins.
Everyone in that cabinet looks like a miserable cunt. All of them have this weak, forced smile that looks like they’re on the verge of having a nervous breakdown.
The moral fart sniffing is literally their whole identity. Every one of them probably cries themselves to sleep in loneliness every night.
Limpwristed and soypilled
We’s be like George Washington and sheeeit!
It’s a hate crime.
You’re a dumbass. He’s responsible for the building of the TransCanada Railway. This project dwarfs anything Canada has done since probably WW2. It wouldn’t even be possible in this country today.
Building the railway through the Rocky Mountains was an enormous feat in the 1800s. And without the railway, BC would have joined the US. MacDonald convinced them to join Canada instead of the US with promise of a continental railroad.
He created a country bigger than the European continent. And without any civil war or major conflict.
Oh, and he wasn’t an Englishman. He was born in Scotland.
Unless it’s a statue of his dad. Then it’s a hate crime.
How come all the best countries in the world are majority Christian and all the Muslim countries are shitholes?
Is it coincidence or is it because of the people who live there?
Was Tarzan raised by blacks in Africa?
I can’t understand why Canadians like these people. They like the condescending teacher voice talking down to them? God we’re supposed to be adults. When did Canadians become a country of little children?
