I voted Trudeau, Notley, voted for Nenshi twice, and so did my wife shocking to you I know because most on this sub forum only hang around with their online friends, or if they do have real life ones they all only share the same opinions as you but if you go out into the real world and actually meet people you'll see that you can disagree with a politician but still overall agree with them and that doesn't make you crazy notley is just doing the same failed thing that the PCs did which is she's banking on oil prices going back up, that's the only logical explanation for how their budget will eventually get balanced and it will be the NDP downfall when it doesn't happen, i'm fully expecting them to leave office with Alberta in debt problems after seeing this budget

PittTheElder posted:Because Alberta is a lovely place. I don't think PT6A is technically a professional in the sense that he belongs to one of the independent professional societies, but I know loads of Engineers who are self-incorporated "independent contractors", and then employed by a single company. That way the employee is on the hook for figuring out their benefit packages. Of course there's lots of case law that says that those people aren't really independent contractors, they're employees and should be treated as such, but I don't think there's any labour body to enforce those rules. federal government has been cracking down on that for a number of years now some people I know through work got told they owed tens of thousands in back taxes now as the government said if the only reason you're not an employee is because you have a shell company to go through we're considering you a personal services business for the past X years, re-evaluate your taxes, and also become an employee of the company. Also, companies would force new hires to do this route so they wouldn't have to pay benefits, CPP, and depending on the contract overtime/holiday pay etc so i do have some sympathy for certain people

I see that Calgary is getting almost 2,500 Syrian refugees in the next two months, possibly the single largest influx of refugees in Calgary ever. Cool, we have lots of jobs available here, I'm also sure that the $695 a month for a family of 4 will buy them the best squalor our city has to offer. But I'm sure with their English skills and professional degrees they'll bounce back extremely quickly and won't be fighting the Somalian gang refugees that plague Calgary already.

The biggest gang problem in Calgary is Somalian refugees who refuse to integrate into society, shootings, killings, drug deals, it's a real problem, I personally don't see anything wrong with having a xenophobic country model, we don't even have a plan for when we bring in these refugees, it's all just for political points, let's take care of our own country first.

All you people do on here when given a differing opinion is use fallacious rhetoric instead of trying to explain why you disagree, explain to me why with so many problems, and huge deficits all over the country we should be taking on even more refugees on top of what we already do, I for one do not think it's fair to the actual citizens of Canada.

you use a false dichotomy and ask me if I think shutting it down would decrease terrorism, I give a reply. You then say prove that this place is radicalizing Canadians, I provide the information. You then move the goal post and say how is this place responsible, all you're doing is straw manning me and moving the goal posts till you find an argument you can actually defend. That being said is a drinking establishment liable for over serving a customer, would not a place abetting and promoting criminal activities be at the very least partially responsible both legally and morally, I certainly think so.

You shouldn't need to be rich to have kids but it should be mandatory to have an education and be able to pass some basic competency tests. It's really too bad that you need a license and testing to drive a car, or own a firearm, but people can have as many kids as they want regardless of how well they can raise them.

It's ok to say that your favourite person broke a campaign promise and looks silly, it happens. Everyone and their dog knew that it was a bad promise. At least now they can also bring in single men instead of discriminating based on something that they have literally no control over. Oh wait nevermind I just saw a new article that says only gay men can come over, what's the test for that again? http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/liberals-to-resettle-10000-syrian-refugees-by-year-end-15000-fewer-than-election-promise Do it ironically fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Nov 24, 2015 |

cowofwar posted:If they are still bringing in 25k people but they need two months more to clear the logistical hurdles then who gives a poo poo? It was a campaign promise to make him look good compared to the numbers and timeline that the other political leaders were throwing out. He was elected in, to a non zero degree because of this policy along with his other promises. A lot of people saw this as borderline ridiculous and logistically/security wise impossible but were rebuked for reasons. To try to actually meet his deadline he then said, no single males allowed, which is stupid in its own right. The original number thrown out was 100 million dollars, or just over, the actual amount is now 687 million dollars plus, that's a huge difference. Also with that it now seems that the government is only sponsoring 15,000 people for that 687 million, and the rest will be privately sponsored. It's not the biggest thing in the world but still makes him look bad.

I'm just saying literally the only reason I work is because I don't want to be homeless, the reality that I could be living on the streets gets me up at 5am. If i didn't have to work, I wouldn't, plain and simple, what are you going to force me to work? That's what I don't get because I'm definitely not the only one who thinks this way, are you going to point a gun in my face and force me to?
