Would there be anything left to report if they did that?

Loyalty program. What a folksy term for a tax.

Pensions get so huge they basically have to keep investing in bigger and bigger things or else the whole thing collapses under its own weight. Don't you remember when the teachers' pension fund owned the Leafs?

Less training (nurses go through universities, medlab people go through colleges,) more specialization. So you'll have technologists who only look for and identify bacteria, ones only for fungi, ones only for parasites, ones only for abnormalities in cell tissues, etc.

Under the NDP, the only thing open would be abortion clinics. Everything else would be shut down, and they would send households packages of food that they think would be enough. Toilet paper? Non-essential.

My federal and provincial ballots are "mark an X with a pencil" and put into a ballot box. My municipal ones, on the other hand, are "complete this arrow with a marker" and THAT one is fed into a machine.

How do you think Chretien got three terms?

Term 1: I'll eliminate the GST!
Term 2: No, really, I'll eliminate the GST!
Term 3: The Conservatives have a hidden abortion agenda! (that's their standby when all else fails.)

Ask your doctor which lab they send the testing to. They should be able to tell you. Unless you're going to a hospital, in which case their testing might be in-house.

They're a private medical testing centre. Ever get bloodwork done at the doctor? Doctor sends it to LifeLabs (or another lab like Gamma-DynaCare,) they do the test and send the results back to the doctor.

From what I know about LifeLabs, they're more or less beholden to doctors. Doctor says "do this test and check for this," and LifeLabs does without asking questions. I don't see them as decision makers. Lord help them when machines can do visual analyses more effectively, because then the employees won't be needed at all.

So because it's a charity, and my taxpayer money is going toward it, do I get a tax break for my contributions?

It's apparently been moved. If you do a search for Charter, you can find it (it was like the second link down for me.) Seems to have been put in a subsection of Justice.

That was the first thing I thought of too. "Can we frame this as a race issue, saying that once again white cops can stop black people on the street for no reason and question them?"

A dictator would never hand over the reins unless he was absolutely 100% sure that the populace was completely brainwashed.

The Catholic church hasn't forced you to surrender wealth as a form of repentance for centuries. It took Martin Luther to point out the shit the Catholic church was doing, but donations are voluntary and are not in exchange for anything spiritual.

It seems that the vaccine is more efficient than they say, or is my math too far off?

Requires a time frame. If Pfizer and Moderna said 95% effective for the rest of your life? Then we may never know the true numbers. If, as they're now saying, effective for six months? Then the jury's still out but we should get something more accurate soon.

will cost more than other low-carbon energy alternatives,

Ask Ontario how low-carbon energy alternatives worked out for them. Energy prices spiked so badly Doug Ford was largely elected on a promise to GO INTO DEBT TO SUBSIDIZE THE COSTS.

Underrated and underplayed. It's on my personal playlist, and every time I mention it I get blank stares.
