It's all licensing. Netflix not being subject to CanCon (because how the gently caress would that even work) is one of the things the Canadian cable companies constantly complain about.

http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/montre...tors_picks=truequote:Canada’s aging cab drivers fear the rise of ride-hailing apps like Uber will render their pricey government-issued operating permits worthless. Many are counting on selling them at a profit to provide a nest egg for retirement. The thing i repeatedly voted to restrict to artificially inflate it's value at the cost of customer service is now worthless because people got sick of my lovely customer service

Can't wait until we get CanCon at the user-level due to improved technological tracking and everyone has to watch their quota of Canadian content before watching the shows they are actually interested in.

Powershift posted:“Nobody is buying,” he told CTV News. “There is no price. You can’t find anybody to buy a permit.” This is also bullshit. There is always a price. You just don't like it. Keep holding on for a few more years though while it continues to depreciate until you are forced to sell for even less. gently caress the cab biz. Reap what you sow, etc.

City council finally told the taxi companies to gently caress off, allowing uber back in and releasing 222 new plates. It took 15 minutes to reach a cab company by phone, and then 60 minutes for the cab to actually arrive, when I called one for my friend last night. It was well before last call when I phoned, too, and I was looking for a cab to go from one end of downtown into the Beltline, not in some far-flung suburb, and the cab would've been able to get another fare 10 minutes later. The cab companies have made their bed and now they have to lie in it. If they're going to bitch about it now, I'll play the world's tiniest violin for them (when they finally loving show up).

Looks like they may have rescinded on this because they were initially not showing any desire to pounce on this. http://globalnews.ca/news/2386933/vancouver-taxi-association-applies-to-have-more-cabs-on-the-road/ But the article is unclear about whether or not it is specifically about the ongoing battle to get 200+ more taxis on the road or the temporary increase that the CoV put in. However, taxis are running the show: https://www.biv.com/article/2016/11/dark-money-pouring-party-pockets-bc/ quote:The Vancouver Taxi Association has given $52,850 to the Liberals and $43,600 to the NDP.

What a bizarre scandal, the PM talks politics with people at parties. You expect him to just fall down the stairs all night? I like this other one from today better because heavens forbid a successful business person has a relative(s) run their businesses/foundations while they're in office.  http://news.nationalpost.com/news/c...-analysis-shows

Kevin O'Leary assembles a campaign team that isn't a campaign team but may as well be because he's telling everyone else to get the gently caress out otherwise he won't run?quote:"I simply want to wait til the natural Darwinian forces of finance roll through their lines," O'Leary said Monday. "We can't have 15, 16, 17 people in a debate. It makes no sense. You get 20-second soundbites."

All I'm saying is that he's a blindly self interested, demonstrably unreasonable idiot and that if he's going to try to insert himself into a position where he'll be able to directly make or affect policies that negatively impact tons of people, then death would likely the only thing in his life he's actually worked to earn I mean yes it's more specific than the kind of casual disregard for human life that people like him foster but I like to think my hatred is earned since it comes from a warm, fuzzy place
