RBC posted:The case is peculiar because the defense showed all their evidence to the prosecution before the trial and he used the information to act as a judge and throw out the case - based on the defenses evidence. I didn't see an answer to this, so I'll just drop it in because no, the crown has prosecutorial discretion to bring charges. If the crown finds on the evidence that there is no reasonable prospect of a conviction, the crown can drop the case. The defense would have really solid evidence for this to work because the bar to bring charges is really really low.

Nocturtle posted:The Liberal party establishment pushed Trudeau as leader in lieu of reforms following their crushing loss in 2011. It was a cynical move that assumed enough Canadians would be won over by an attractive young leader instead of the party revising their platform or dealing with corruption. The results prove a low opinion of Canadian voters is a good working assumption. and you all loving fell for it stop voting you loving morons

St. Dogbert posted:Just goes to show you the mentality of the Tories' true believers. You check out their usual haunts (comments sections, Facebook, Twitter, anything in the Sun), and they're banging on about how Trudeau had undone each and every thing Harper's government did in less than a year, how he's an evil Godless socialist, how we need to force an election or bring back Western separation before we're standing in bread lines and being sent to the gulag, and on and on. Then, you look at the actual facts, which bear out that Trudeau's government has barely changed a thing from the way Harper did things. Stephen Harper was also a mostly ineffectual placeholder pm yet many here thought that he was leading Canada down the road to fascism. Chrétien and Martin did more to shift the country to the right than harper ever did.

Sorry for your self loathing and crippling cynicism Yeah it's a good thing you voted for him otherwise weed would still be illegal and we wouldn't have electoral reform. Meanwhile, check out this great microfinance scheme: a rich shithead offers predatory loans at the maximum legal interest rate of 60% mostly to Filipina maids, charges them obscene late fees if they don't pay on time (bringing the effective interest rate to 200% in some cases), then sues them in small claims court if they don't pay back. Maybe the NDP should have talked more about destroying the predatory payday loan industry and offering an ethical alternative instead of loving ATM fees that only morons still pay.

Other teachers shouldn't be teaching but get to stay and collect the same salary as the good teacher. Overall business may be okay as poor employees will be released and good employees will be paid more. Sadly unemployment will rise again. Well done Rachael (sarc) quote:There is a lot of misunderstanding about what mimum wages are for. These for entry level workers who have NO SKILLS ... they learn and move on up. Those are usually students or new immigrants. These low pay jobs are good for them because the vast majority live with others or at home, it's pocket money for most. The idea is that minimum wage jobs are NOT career jobs nor should they be considered such. We have UPWARD MOBILITY IN OUR FREE CAPITALIST SOCIETY AND IT WORKS WELL UNTIL SOCIALISTS TRY TO IMPROVE ON IT BY KILLING ENTRY LEVEL JOBS. quote:The idea of a minimum wage should be abolished in a market society. If you are worth $50 an hour then you get paid $50 an hour. If you are only worth $2 an hour then maybe you should look in the mirror and figure out what you are doing wrong. quote:For some yes.. for others not so much. You can't paint all businesses with the same brush. The wealthiest person I know is a business owner and this will go unnoticed to him.

gently caress anyone who whines about having to pay minimum wage. When I worked at Subway part-time in high school I was making $1.50 over minimum wage to start and the owner of the place didn't get his panties all twisted about it either (I even got a raise after a few months). If your employees aren't "worth" minimum wage, then you're either extremely bad at running a business overall, or you're specifically very bad at hiring and getting poo poo people as a result.

Subjunctive posted:Even "poo poo people" deserve a living wage. So what, business owners should employ people that cost them money out of the goodness of their heart? 100% employment is not a reasonable goal, and that's why we should have a guaranteed minimum income that allows people to live even if they can't work for whatever reason. That way, the burden of supporting the unemployable (whether that's because of disability, or just because they aren't worth more than the minimum wage) is shared across society, instead of being visited on one single, unlucky business (and their co-workers, who are probably fed up with their nonsense anyway).

Care to explain why employers should individually support workers who are a net loss for them, instead of allowing all taxpayers to shoulder the burden equally? It would seem like a much fairer system, and further, it empowers workers being the coercion of "you must do this job or you will starve and/or be homeless" goes away.
