we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
they also stopped doing proper gutter clearing at the end of fall, because vacuum trucks cost money or something, so all the leaves that didn't get cleared obstruct the drains, cause flooding with every thaw and also massive ice rinks to form around the curbs as it re-freezes.

come spring there will again be a week where all the low lying areas closer to the lake go underwater because of the runoff and thousands of basement apartments get completely flooded. somehow, despite the clockwork predictability of this issue which has only occurred since we started slashing services, nothing will be done to address it.

under Pallister, Manitoba is now a republican have-not hellstate with its race to privatize everything and reduce taxes to zero so no government, NDP or otherwise, can ever function there again

but thank god canadians are smarter than americans and would prevent something like this from ever happening! :downs:

if you want to know how the next few months are going to go

1) pallister and the pcs are going to set a date of may 1st, 2020 to lower the pst 1% in the next budget
2) pallister and the pcs are going to call an early april 2020 election
3) throughout the entire election we are going to hear about how the NDP is going to cancel the pst cut and RAISE YOUR TAXES and RUN MORE DEFICITS
4) FIVE MORE YEARS, FIVE MORE YEARS, FIVE MORE YEARS

NEW NDP PLATFORM:

Economic Justice: audit the Fraser Institute, audit everyone with a net worth of over $1 million, audit all churches, audit all private clubs and newspapers
Climate Justice: leave the tar in the ground, turn Alberta/Sask/Manitoba into a national park and prohibit people from residing within
Infrastructure Spending: use eminent domain to build highways-to-nowhere on all postmedia properties and through all rich people neighbourhoods
Putting Consumers First: nationalize the spectrum and all phone providers
Military Spending: you get what you can take from the westons' homes

I don't know, isn't there something more we could do to the people of Alberta/Sask/Manitoba ?

Already today Pallister personally intervened to prevent 6 RMs from getting the payments they were promised for the big power line project. He must have done the calculus to determine that those RMs either already will be voting for Kinew, or that they hate Kinew so much that it won't affect their votes.

all those RMs are heavy conservative country and probably have no chance of flipping in the next election

the problem isn't so much where people live, it's that they're constantly being hosed over by both the center and the right and will cling to anyone who promises some kind of change, unfortunately that's mostly only the right because the center hates different and the ndp currently has decorum cancer

Wilson-Raybould running as a Liberal in the federal election

Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould, whose testimony about the SNC-Lavalin scandal before a parliamentary justice committee last week led to calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation, said she still plans to run as a Liberal in October’s general election.

“Ms. Wilson-Raybould was elected and continues to serve as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Vancouver Granville,” her office said in an email. “She was confirmed as the Liberal Party of Canada candidate for Vancouver Granville last year.”

snow clearance needs to go back under the auspices of the city instead of being privatized

but an idiot says: its good because someones making money!

but you can immediately see the problem when private companies control road repair in the summer AND road clearance in the winter; they completely loving destroy the road so someone's ALWAYS making money. so instead of paying workers to make the streets usable and having an incentive to do it properly and keep costs down, taxpayers are paying people out the rear end for the sake of paying people out the rear end. hooray for capitalism! :homebrew:

I don't disagree with a lot of this, but just LOL at thinking that municipal snow clearing was any easier on the roads than private. I think for snow clearing the sides of the plow need a rubber bumper or some poo poo, something that won't bang up the concrete and tear it apart. But yeah, there's no incentive to do that when you're the one getting paid to fix the concrete come spring time.

The amount of people in this idiot city that keep moving juuust out of town to avoid the "high taxes" is nuts. It would take some getting used to, but I think I could handle it if they shut this idiot province down and moved me to a mega city.
