Luvin the fact since they took power: Lost my tuition rebate which was going to pay off the last bit of my debt Have to pay more for the bus because they just decided they didn't want to anymore Watched as my field was cut down by the government telling the WRHA to cut their budget. Watched as my own place of work was cut down by the above. Currently watching the unions fight themselves for the honor of being the one union the government laughs at, ignores so the union can shrug and go "eh whattya gunna do?" Like even/if we get rid of Pallister there is no way in hell they are going to rebuild the gutted healthcare industry. This is just our future now. But hey now I get to save literal cents on purchases! WOW

What will happen is he'll withdraw it from the floor at the end of his term and the court case will get dragged on about whether it was interference in collective bargaining to introduce a bill and then withdraw it. I know management would have had to agree to it, but imo the contract should have read 5 DO 5 IT 5 YOU 8 COWARD  (dukedog sic)

I think you'll find that our fine Mayor (who is very humble about mentioning he is Metis) got rid of racism a year after we were voted the most racist city in canada. Racism. It's just gone.

What I mean is that the government needs to tax in a way that isn't just taking money from people buying groceries or school supplies. Also why the hell hasn't anyone passed a bill that makes stores include all tax+deposits in the price tag.

Arivia posted:is this jian ghomeshi or another motherfucker Nah, we had this rear end in a top hat named Wheeler that was just a fat gently caress playing old man white rock on the radio and for some reason decided he was suddenly an investigative reporter ("interviewed" the author of the "winnipeg is racist" article) while also having a history of saying sexist, transphobic and racist things. Finally got canned last year and now makes a podcast with his wife (maybe it's still going on, who knows, no one cares about him anymore). I'm forgetting here, but wasn't there a mayoral candidate that had a wife/gf or something that had her facebook dragged during the election showing her being racist? Don't know why that popped in my head. IN summation elect Wab.

PST at least in Manitoba as well is an expense that corporations have to pay and don't get rebated unlike GST. The bad part is that it's only applicable on finished goods sold by corps. it could be much worse and i dont think theres a lot of political will right now to make the necessary changes elsewhere to eliminate completely tbh half the reason the federal budget is so hosed half the time is harper took like 50 billion of revenue out alone with his gst cut CrcleSqreSanchz posted:Nah, we had this rear end in a top hat named Wheeler that was just a fat gently caress playing old man white rock on the radio and for some reason decided he was suddenly an investigative reporter ("interviewed" the author of the "winnipeg is racist" article) while also having a history of saying sexist, transphobic and racist things.

yeah, there's a paranoid part of me that thinks that just as all the billionaires are setting up their mansions and hideaways in advance of all the hell of climate change in new zealand, there's a horrific attack and then immediate legislature to ban weapons. i'm not saying that the attacker is not a terrorist, because he is, but it's awful convenient for all those billionaires and their security teams. i should look up and see if there are any allowances for them to be better armed, or it is truly a blanket ban for everyone, including police. false flags are real, and i fully acknowledge that these thoughts are truly paranoid. i like to imagine all possibilities.

OF course he has a patreon. It's not even so much the money he makes, just that he has been downgraded from "that guy on the side of a bus" to "he's still around? huh" type of irrelevancy which is nice. I mean, except to the idiots still trying to prop up his podcast.DariusLikewise posted:

Dave Wheeler then tried suing Rogers over lost wages and that opened up a can of worms to see how much this shitstain was making on goddamn local radio I do not think anyone here supports him anymore after learning he was set to make $355,000/ year!!! I don't recall any of the popular radio personalities coming out to defend him. quote:Rogers signed Wheeler to a five-year contract on Sept. 15, 2012. He was to get a $7,500 signing bonus and start with an annual salary of $255,000 that would increase by $5,000 each year over the term of the contract, plus semi-annual $10,000 ratings bonuses. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/dave-wheeler-sues-rogers-92-citi-fm-winnipeg-1.4831614

Really, that he hosed up a deal like that tells you all there is to know about Wheeler. The fact that you can get paid nearly a half mil to spout half baked scripted smalltalk is amazing. Dude thought he was gonna be like Howard Stern and move to satellite radio but turns out he's a talentless, boring hack.

I spent two years of my life riding shotgun in a work van apprenticing under a guy who had the radio dialed in to some Howard Stern offshoot, the dude did motocross or some poo poo at some point. It was incredibly, mind numbingly dumb but it still beat out Wheeler by an incredible margin.
