You can't completely avoid it because of people who shit on it. Due to things like economies of scale, every new person buying local quite literally makes a difference.

For example, if I'm a Canadian shoe manufacturer and I have one customer, I have to build all my costs, such as the truck that delivers leather for the shoes, into the one pair of shoes I sell. As soon as I get one more customer, I still only need one delivery truck for leather so that cost is the same, but I can split that cost into two pairs of shoes which brings unit cost down. Cost coming down expands my customer base, my expanded customer base brings my cost down, which further expands my customer base and so on and so on.

Now add to that, let's say someone wants to open a leather built and wallet company but they can't turn a profit after deducting their expenses, such as a $500 delivery charge for leather. Well since I have a company that gets a truck a week of leather deliveries for $500, if that company opens up, instead of having my company get a delivery that costs $500 and that other company doing the same, we can place a combined delivery order that costs $700 and pay $350 each. Now they can turn a profit with that reduced expense allowing them to stay in business and I can lower my prices. Win win. And now because someone cared about buying shoes made locally, someone else now has the option to buy a locally made belt, whereas that option wouldn't have been available otherwise.

This is just one example and shows why people who say "I'm just one person, I can't make a difference" are just dickwads making excuses and using shitty logic to absolve themselves of responsibility.

Dude, quitting isn't fighting back. Using their bullshit ideology against them to go into their pockets is.

And after launching a lawsuit against them for their transphobia, good luck to them trying to fire you without paying up again for wrongful dismissal. Until then, sit in every meeting and say "that's a microagression" to everything anyone does and write long winded emails cc'ing the entire company talking about how they don't take trans issues seriously anytime someone misgenders you.

Be a problem they can't get rid of until they start to get sick of this woke shit and clean house of it. Quitting just allows this shit to spread and soon it'll be at whatever new company you end up at next.

If it's a woke HR, they're almost certainly not an old white man. Guaranteed to be a 30 something who graduated with some major that makes them completely unemployable elsewhere.

Don't forget our government fully happy to play along. That way, they can play make believe that people tapping into home equity, which increases their debt but allows them to consume, is the same as having a strong economy.

Oh the country we import the most immigrants from, India, is number one on that list. How wonderful. I'm sure that when we import them here by the millions, their "look out for our kind" mentally magically disappears and they become ideal Canadians.

Makes sense why on that other article that was posted about farmers in India, all the Indians commenting kept referring to India as home even though they were Canadian citizens and shouldn't Canada be their home if they love this country?

Can't stand these retards who exaggerate for no damn reason when the truth is bad enough in and of itself.

Lol you're a retard. The fact you said that with so much confidence is hilarious. Go learn some Bernoulli before you pretend to know wtf you're talking about start spouting off nonsense.

That's not true at all. The hard-hitting interview between Chris and Andrew Cuomo on such critical issues as Andrew Cuomo's nose size shows there is a full spectrum range of debate.

But seriously, lots of gun owners here I assume? Who's the best shot? Please put one right in my fucking head.

Everyone bitching about ham but not a single fucking one of them will get off their ass and go start their own forum. They are exactly why Canada is as fucked as it is. Tons will sit around bitching but almost none will actually do anything.

You don't even see the fucking irony of how you're exactly like the immigrants who come to Canada and bitch about how awful it is. If it's as bad as you say it is, then why did you come here, why do you stay here and why won't you leave? Simple. You're too fucking lazy and stupid to go start your own shit, so you just want to bitch that someone won't create exactly what you want for you.

Downvote away, retards.

Nope. That's a huge waste of time to start that low and it actually hurts the government by doing so and here's why.

I'd guess (don't have the actual stat in front of me) that a significant majority of expropriations are completed through a negotiated agreement and not the full 15 month arbitrated process. However, in the cases where an agreement can't be reached on price and the disagreement goes to arbitration, you really want to be viewed by the board as having been fair and credible in all prior negotiations. If the land owner shows an initial offer from the government of $1, that is going to blow them out of the water right out of the gate and the board will lean much more favourably to the other side which will result in receiving a higher amount of compensation.

Just FYI, this rule applies to all courts, boards, tribunals, etc. So if you're ever negotiating something that may end up there, try to negotiate in your best interest, but steer clear of being overly contentious, unreasonable, combative, etc. When you walk into court/arbitration/etc. room infront of whomever will be ruling on the outcome, you really want to be the person saying with the evidence to back it up "I've tried to be fair and reasonable so we can reach an equitable agreement and they've just been completely unwilling to be fair or reasonable, such as giving completely unrealistic low-ball offers and that's why we're here now". Judges and such don't like having to spend their time on presiding over rudimentary proceedings with a backlog of other cases waiting and they really don't look favourably on the party who's forced the matter to come before them due to that party wanting to be a dick. So don't ever be that dick, it will bite you in the ass.

This is hilarious. Anyone who knows fuck all about expropriation or property rights knows this article is a joke.

I've put together many contracts for property rights and anytime you see $1 listed as compensation, it means there is another form of compensation being offered. A contract, of which expropriation is one (can be full or partial takings), requires consideration, something of value exchanged, to be binding. So when other forms are compensation are offered, $1 is always added so the consideration element of the contract cannot be argued against by a party wishing to nullify the contract at a later date.

Nobody has ever been forced to sell a property for $1. Not unless the value of that property was $1.

Sorry, I committed the same foul that always irks me when others do it. I omitted my source like a dumbass. Here you go. Straight from the government and feel free to check my math.

And then when the surgeons fix this problem caused by a retarded decision that a 5 year old would have known not to make, she thanks the surgeons profusely. Just kidding. She doesn't even say thank you and just complains about not having a pony tail and that she'll have to wait 6 weeks for a weave.

It's 2.578% but only because, surprise surprise, people past the age of life expectancy in Canada aren't having good outcomes.

If you deduct the people who were past the age of life expectancy in Canada, the mortality rate drops to 0.837%. For people younger than 70, it's 0.332%. Younger than 60, it's 0.121%.

Thank you. Just came back to say this. If someone thinks China isn't going to build 138,428 backdoors and keep 100% centralized control over the thing, I want to come live in their fantasy land lol.

So here's the thing. All safes are ass. They just can't be designed to hold up against a circular saw and a quality Diablo blade.

https://youtu.be/t_2NG2nZe0k

There are numerous videos of people cutting into top of the line safes in minutes.

A well concealed lockable cabinet is the way to go imo. I cut out the drywall between the studs and mounted a cabinet inside and placed a sliding magnetically locked mirror in front.

How are they stupid? They're getting everything they want, including getting people to cheer and advocate for their own oppression and attack those who would try to liberate them. Pretty fucking smart if you ask me.

Also everyone who works for the media:

What can I do to get in shape?

Exercise and eat healthy.

No, besides that. I don't want to stop eating donuts and sitting on my fat ass.

Ugggh... That's not really an option if you want be in shape. Those two things and being in shape are 100% mutually exclusive.

For fucks sake, just tell me the answer without telling me to exercise or eat better. Is that so hard?

Then fight against those people, dumbass. Instead you'll sit here and go "boo hoo, the country is lost" just so you can justify sitting on your ass.
