It seems to be a faceoff between smug atheist "religion is a mental illness" types and "criticizing Islam is now a capital offence" types.

Is there really data from the CPC leadership race describing/proving how "fiscal conservatives" flew to Scheer after the first vote?...

Scheer is going to race to the center along with Trudeau once the campaign kicks off in 2019. Bank on it, I can't say for sure that they won't pass some Social Conservative bullshit if they win, but they will probably push the same messaging as the Liberals except instead of spending it will be targeted tax breaks and deficit reduction.

Some people just have to be poor, that's just the way this glorious system works, don't question it and never change. Now excuse me while I head to my job as Assistant Manager at Tim Horton's with my 60k a year degree.

Meant to be that the degree cost 60k! What happens if they pay the front-line workers as much as the assistant manager

Tim Hortons is one pf the most abusive companies in terms of labor exploitation. Most workers are TFWs being forced to rent a room from a store's owner and everyone else is given only enough hours to remain part time and avoid all benefits.

I'm still waiting for the editorial that explains how raising the minimum wage increases consumer demand by putting more money in workers pockets. I'm sure it's coming right?

McDonalds USA has advocated to employees that face economic hardship to apply for food stamps rather than increase their wage or shifts. Stop caring about business owners.

It's going to be hilarious when the NDP run to the center as well, and the Liberals outflank them on the left because the careerists who run the NDP are terrified of looking 'room' leftist'

I know the old fish and chip shop in Mission, whose demographic was primarily old people going in to get the lunch special, had to sell after the HST was introduced because their sales dropped pretty much overnight by 35%.

I feel sorry for the people working our current minimum wage jobs that simply do not understand economics. You will not have more money after the wage increase, you will not have 'breathing room', you will also not be further ahead than you are now.... It's a little thing called inflation. ( which will be hyperinflation in this case), which actually further weakens the dollar and costs us even more money. Ayup, that's the one my Facebook feed has been flooded with.

I remember when the indoor smoking ban hit Ontario and a coffee shop in downtown Sudbury closed down because it subsided on giving angsty teen nerds a place to hang out drink 80c coffee and smoke until their lungs were the consistency of an old scrap heap tire. Rip Darkroom. That doesn't mean that in the end the smoking ban wasn't necessary and a good thing. So is what's happening now. Most businesses will adapt and society will be better for it. Sorry about your fish and chip stand.

If you run a fish and chips shop, and your primary market isn't drunk people, you deserve to go out of business. Also applies to donair/shawarma shops.

Development lots in False Creek Flats offered in untendered deal that needs provincial approvalquote:The last two open lots on a prime False Creek Flats development site owned by four B.C. universities have been offered in a confidential untendered sale to several Vancouver developers, in a deal that must be approved by the B.C. government. If this goes ahead that's a pretty incredible return on a small investment in the liberal party.
