you take one five figure grant from the westons and all of a sudden no one wants to listen to your entirely genuine opinions about how the weston family of brands is actually great anyway, look, they're very well diversified in retail. there's no way to be certain these record profits are being made on the backs of grocery consumers, specifically. maybe they're bleeding the provincial health systems instead. we just don't know. infernal machines has issued a correction as of 19:17 on May 5, 2024 |

Epic mountie chillin with some convoy retards. Doesn't care about their imitation cop car https://x.com/sisuvanhell/status/1786953663769989510 Cool. Cool. Lots of lessons learned from Portapique and also all those Coutts guys the cops were friendly with and were later arrested with ten thousand guns they wanted to kill cops with. Oh well don't think about it

I'm sure you could take the time to find tweets from the ONDP MLAs around the time she was thrown out that show they actually had no problem with it and also, love Israel. Not me, because I might be wrong, but someone else could do it

Saalkin posted:Didn't she get kicked out of the NDP by the leadship though? Like the other MPP's didn't have any say in the matter? It was originally presented as a decision reached through caucus consensus, then the only black MPP left in the caucus chimed in and said she actually didn't know anything about it and would have objected to firing Jama. Stiles then clarified she had made the decision entirely by herself without consulting anyone (or meeting with Jama). Joel Harden never said anything, still hasn't, when people contacted his office they were given the party line about Jama being difficult to work with.

One of Wong-Tam's staffers sent a constituent a rather uncompelling email about how it wasn't about Jama's opinions per se but that she expressed them without consulting with colleagues which is dangerous or something: https://twitter.com/AhmarSKhan/status/1718384009728672023 I don't remember seeing any public statements after that, but I wasn't following very closely.

On another note, I present excerpts from the most bitchmade article about capital gains inclusion (so far):quote:Joe, Sandra and Cam are real estate investors in their 60s. Just like 4.4 million other Canadians, they invested in a real estate property to save for a retirement. All live in Toronto, all are married, employed full-time, and earn $100,000 a year. The three couples are comfortable financially, but it’s hard to call them “rich,” given Toronto’s high cost of living. Hey those 4.4 million Canadians can quote:Joint owner Joe is married to Jill and both earn a salary of $100,000 a year. Both Joe and Jill are the owners of the townhouse. They listed the townhouse for sale and found a buyer, who is asking for a June 25 closing date. Sounds like they should have maxed out their TFSAs and RRSPs first instead of becoming landlords. quote:Corporate owner Cameron: Tax increases from $132,000 to $183,000 Cool, Corporate Cameron can definitely eat poo poo. quote:Early Earl and Late Liam: Tax increase from $226,000 to $316,000 Concern trolling for an imaginary dead 120 year old. quote:Emigrant Emmett: tax increase from $760,000 to $1,002,000 I hope "rich" Emmett arrives safely on a reliable Boeing aircraft.

it might just be the stilted tone apparently required of all finance articles but it sounds like the author is baffled and/or outraged at the concept of a thing taking effect at a point in time if you do it JUNE TWENTY FOURTH you pay $x BUT if you do it JUNE TWENTY FIFTH you pay $y !!! like the idea of taxes changing during your lifetime is simply absurd
