For Love Not Fear, The Light Does Not -baby Yoda I'm finding it a bit hard to put my faith in the Corridor of Prosperity knowing that it leads to the Ring of Fire but surely dungeon master Doug wouldn't lead us astray to the Ponds of Tailings? e: out of curiosity I looked up if anyone is planning to build a railway to the Ring of Fire since surely that would be cheaper to transport ore than with trucks and apparently one company has (expensive) plans, but another says it's not worth it, for whatever reason. Also there are some choice quotes in that article about how the roads are vital but also primarily for the benefit of First Nations and there's no reason for concern over environmental issues because it's to boggy to build much up there and there are strong new federal assessment regulations. e e: Also, it's unfortunate that the name is forever tainted because raptors are cool, but maybe don't name your projects Eagle's Nest just in case?

Doug Ford campaigned heavily on building the Ring of Fire highway 4 years ago and I can't believe he's doing it again after doing nothing about it in his first term.

Just vote for the party that's gonna fix everything of course Jeez what are you, dumb? In other news, ACAB. Wait, that isn't news either, jeez I'm not doing very well at this one bit quote:"When the lawyer had the impression that Mr. Dussault did not understand, he offered to come to the station and continue the conversation in person," the SCC states in its ruling. "Mr. Dussault agreed and the police approved the lawyer's visit."

Have you tried simply relaxing and never being sick? https://mobile.twitter.com/Bubbly82111400/status/1519155198593142784 CBC had a video on nurse burnout in Quebec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgQd8nuKlE4 I gather that the government promised to do something about mandatory overtime, didn't, and nurses had a one-day strike in protest three years ago. But that apparently accomplished nothing since COVID is now a permanent emergency (but also basically over), and the union caved in to a bad deal last year that continued mandatory overtime and gave a whopping 2 percent pay raise (lol that inflation was a mere 3.5 percent at the time). It sure seems like nearly all of the provinces are responding to COVID by rapidly dismantling their healthcare systems. I wonder if that will backfire on some unforeseeable way.

I’m set very well for healthcare, it’s because I have money and pay for it. It’s not a moral way to run things, but it’s not factually incorrect. What they want is for people to see my situation as normal instead of a symptom of a hosed system.

Can they just make this permanent? Or how about free entirely? Is $1 close enough to free? Is there any chance the Liberals could actually win in this election? I read that Victoria is considering making transit entirely free and think it's a great idea. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/liberals-transit-fares-ontario-election-2022-1.6437982 quote:The Ontario Liberals say that if they form government after the June 2 election they would make all public transit fares $1 until 2024.

The only thing that concerns me about making transit free is that governments will most likely open up the systems to corporate branding, more private partnerships, etc. instead of increasing funding.

Dang if only there was a department that cities and provinces could easily slash the budget of without seeing any actual degradation in the services provided. Racking my brain here but I just can't think of a single type of organisation with a massive bloated budget that doesn't deserve it. Edit: oh I know healthcare! Or maybe addiction services? Family support? Yeah gotta be one of those.

Slotducks posted:money isnt real lol Unfortunately, the Government of Ontario doesn't directly control the Canadian dollar. Transit has actual costs for labour and materiel that people expect to be paid in actual dollars. Right now, those costs are primarily being paid from the fare box (TTC is over 70% fare box recovery). If you cut the fares to $1 that shortfall has to be made up somewhere, or services have to be cut. The province can subsidize the fares, for sure, but they can't just print dollars to do it. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 17:34 on May 2, 2022 |

Call me a pessimist but 1$ fares sounds exactly like the kind of promise where they get elected and go “actually we looked at the books and it’s just not possible, the last government hosed up the budget. But we are reducing the fare to 3.20. Promises made promises kept!”

Old: Buck-a-beer New: Buck-a-bus An Ottawa city councillor looked into it, and apparently free transit citywide would increase the average tax bill (q.v.) by something like $1100 a year, which is about a quarter of our annual tax burden, and just shy of the cost of an annual transit pass.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:I know you're talking about cops, but defunding the police doesn't help balance books. What it's supposed to do is better direct that money to people better at the things the police supposedly deals with, like homeless shelters, social workers, addiction services, etc. That money still gets spent for the purposes it is now, just in a way that helps deal with the problem proactively and humanely. Police are almost certainly more expensive than effective social services, though (and also useless or counterproductive). Peaceful Anarchy posted:It doesn't suddenly free up money for unrelated expenditures like free transit. The actual solution to that one is increasing taxes. That, and/or stop spending so much money on new roads, and demolish old garbage like the Gardiner.

Every city is inherently bankrupt as long as they keep supporting the giant miserable leeches in suburbia. Rural density with urban services means you will never be in the black, or even close enough to properly fund the programs people need. "Sorry City Hospital but we need to provide all the mcmansions and their loving cars with sewer systems and paved roads and highways and power (which they refuse to subsidise with higher tax rates by constantly voting for the Tories or Blue Liberals) so you're gonna have to lay off some nurses. By the way we're tearing down three blocks of pre-war mixed-use commercial and residential space for an office tower and a luxury condo. Also gently caress you."

eXXon posted:Police are almost certainly more expensive than effective social services, though (and also useless or counterproductive). Do you remember how the "defund the police" movement went in Toronto? We had all of three or four councillors (I'm pretty sure it was three) support it, it was of course presented as "somewhat reduce funding to the police" when it came before council, that was rejected and we then found that even "don't increase police funding this year" was a bridge too far. TPS for their part threw a fit, stopped enforcing the highway traffic act pretty much at all, and have continually demanded more officers. Their token attempts at modernization amounted to wanting to spend millions on hokum automated anti-crime technologies that were already disproven before they'd even finished the proposal. flakeloaf posted:I have no idea how the province could compel a municipality to balance its budgets in a way that a suburb carries its own tax burden, but I'd love to watch the attempt The city absolutely will not significantly raise property taxes on single family dwellings, and that's the only tool they have thanks to the way the province controls municipalities. Presumably anyone savvy enough to get elected to form a government in Ontario knows that being the ones to force municipalities to raise taxes on homeowners is electoral poison, and if they do it, they will not be forming a government again. Possibly for quite some time. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 18:55 on May 2, 2022 |
