No you see the semantics are important. Discussing is not negotiating. Negotiating is apparently the thing you do once you've discussed and reached an agreement. There are no negotiations, only possible discussions. PS: ne·go·ti·ate nəˈɡōSHēˌāt/ verb verb: negotiate; 3rd person present: negotiates; past tense: negotiated; past participle: negotiated; gerund or present participle: negotiating 1. try to reach an agreement or compromise by discussion with others. "his government's willingness to negotiate" Precambrian Video Games fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Sep 24, 2016 |

Cops twittered that they've installed temporary cameras in the legislature area. They also re-stated that drones are illegal in the harbour. I appreciated the reminder to stay the gently caress away from downtown.

First there was their reversal on hydro rates, now they're trying to back off selling profit-generating government assets. I call dibbs on the LCBO. Only company in the world next to drug routes where one can make a 490% gross profit. And pay 0% tax.

JVNO posted:Is there a situation where privatizing a profitable crown corporation is ever a good move? Is it a difficult process to do, and are there any regulations preventing such moves? Toronto's fool mayor is going to try and sell off parts of Toronto Hydro but there is a 10% tax on it that he wants the Premier to waive or remove so that's one hurdle that could prevent the move.

This means that my kinda ex-gf has nowhere to stay when she gets there in a couple days, because between the entourage, journalists and so forth there's not a rental bed to be had in the whole town. Which might give me the opportunity to swoop in and save the day via connections I have up there. So the royals are annoying as is any attention paid to them (gently caress CBC is devoting a whole day to them apparently) but it might help me get laid again so I guess I won't complain too much.

There's really not that many people downtown for them. Transit is completely normal, crowds around the convention centre are barely above a normal weekend. I'm glad it's a non event, the royals are boring and useless. Source: just walked through there

The queen is old and nobody really wants Charles or William on their money, so it would be nice to get rid of the monarchy when she dies. Unfortunately there's no chance of Trudeau doing that as long as he has the opportunity to get free publicity and photo ops with THE ROYAL BABY.

Jordan7hm posted:When they shouldn't be running a monopoly at all (ie alcohol sales). It's not good financially though. But yes and no. Any legislation preventing it could just be overturned. Manitoba has a "balanced budget" law that the PCs passed years ago that required a refurendum for any tax increases and required MLAs to take a pay cut when running a deficit. The NDP managed to get around the law through some legal loopholes and raise the PST and it ended up being fairly disastrous for them among centerist and right leaning folks. I think a similar law requiring a referendum before selling a Crown Corporation would have the same effect if the NDP had the balls to write up something before being booted this past summer. Never underestimate the simplicity of the public.

I'm certain he's trying some ~~*massive pwnge*~~ by suggesting our system (a not tricameral, not the US system) would somehow result in the pretty loving powerless and neutered position of Governor General having a *gasp* person we don't like in it. Woo boy. Pull the scepter out of your mouth already. And aside, yes, yes it is. Go gently caress yourself sucking up to the poo poo that is monarchy.
