I think naming an airport after Harper would be a great idea. How about this one? We'll also exile Harper, his family and any Suncor execs to the area where they can spend the rest of their lives sustaining themselves on what I'm sure is plenty of healthy local wildlife and fresh water sources.

If voting reform ends up being put to a referendum the CPC will run a year worth of the most blatant race baiting fear mongering ads Canada has ever seen. "Voting for election reform is a vote to encourage Natives to be lazier, blacks to be more thieving and Muslims to join ISIS. Do the right thing, do the white thing, keep first past the post."

Consumption taxes are regressive as gently caress but unless you're going to boost the upper personal tax brackets or corporate taxes significantly then making even relatively small cuts to consumption taxes is going to gently caress our public service even more. Unfortunately neither the LPC or NDP have the balls to cut consumption taxes and claim that revenue from sources on the top end.

Improved mental health, better work life balance and shorter commutes will go a long way towards better health among the populace. It's way easy to let yourself go when you're always loving mentally exhausted and want nothing more than to curl up on the couch watch a movie trying to escape the reality of your bullshit existence for the few precious hours you have to yourself.

Also job security for sure. I'd be willing to put down a good chunk of money betting that the decline of long term job security is a major contributing factor to the increase in mental and physical health issues in our population.

Considering our entire species loving knows better but cant help themselves when it comes to most of these things I don't see having a fat person as health minister as being in any way hypocritical as long as that fat person isn't one of those fat acceptance nutcases that sees nothing wrong with their physical state. You're just mad because no matter how progressive you may seem to have gotten at the core your soul has FYGM written on it and you get cranky as gently caress and try to find fault in anyone who tries to get between you and what you want for yourself.

So if this thread has people who actually have to directly deal with poo water, how would you suggest they deal with 8 billion litres of the stuff. I'd rather it not hit the St Lawrence but unless the only alternative involves a time machine then welp.

Also a good solution to keeping this from happening again would be to round up those responsible for neglecting something as basic yet vital as waste water treatment for so long that dumping 8 billion litres of poo water seems like the least worst option and make them empty out the line with buckets. Of course if its like every other municipality the fault ultimately lies with the public who voted for politicians that vowed to not raise property taxes while ignoring systemic deficiencies in basic infrastructure funding.

I'm p sure one of the biggest issues with this giant pipeload of poo is if it isn't dumped relatively soon critical maintenance can't be performed on the sewer system and its going to end up being released when the system fails. If its simply a case of 'we let this problem fester and now its too much money to fix  ' then ya gently caress whoever wants to dump it.

To be honest a lot of the adverse reactions to Remembrance Day probably have more to do with the giant hard on our society has for ARE TROOPS at every sporting event, country fair and most other prominent events people go to the other 354 days of the year.

PT6A posted:In a sense, yes. I think there's something wrong with entrapping someone into committing a fundamentally non-violent action, like soliciting prostitution or buying/selling drugs, but I don't have nearly as much of a problem when people are convinced into doing a violent or terroristic crime. If you can be talked into that, as an adult human being, we're probably better off as a society for not having you on the street. You obviously know gently caress all about just how easily manipulated people can be, especially the mentally ill. It's way too loving easy to talk people into following through on bad ideas. This is the whole reason why we have so many rules regarding entrapment.

Most government agencies are staffed by people who want to put in an honest effort. In the case of the CRA, and the US version the IRS, unless you're actively trying to avoid paying your taxes its surprising just how downright fair they can be.

If we had mincome I'd definitely never step foot in my cubicle again. I can think of a ton of other things I'd like to try that currently would be stupid to do in our wonderful race to the bottom in both income and job security and if they didn't work out yes I'd opt to stay home and play games rather than going back to some bullshit office tower full of cubes.

Mincome does include paying people to not work at all and if you don't think that our society will need to literally pay people to stay at home then you've been completely ignoring the progression of modern society in our lifetimes. There will soon be (and some say were already at the point) not enough living wage jobs to keep the entire population employed.

Gonna need to do some digging but I read an article a few months ago outlining some psychological studies that indicate that while no we don't want to try to treat traumatic experiences by strapping them in to a chair and forcing them to watch similar events like Clockwork Orange, the level of sheltering being demanded by people these days is showing evidence of being counterintuitive and serves to make people overly sensitive to mental stress.

You literally can't comprehend how two innocent mentally unsound people being goaded into trying to commit a terrorist act by an organization dedicating millions of dollars and thousands of man hours, an organization tasked with protecting citizens including mentally ill ones, would be considered by some to be a piece of poo poo scheme. You bet I'm calling you a sociopath. On several occasions you have shown a complete inability to empathise with others on almost any level.

It's election time in Manitoba! The Liberal candidate in my riding and leader of the provincial party was super nice and also had the most wonderful deer in the headlights look when I told her I was primarily going to base my vote on who vows to privatize the least amount of public assets and that I was fully aware that P3s are a garbage idea that only serve to enrich the wealthy.

Toronto is a wonderful city full of events you don't ever go to because getting there is a nightmare and the crowds once inside are just as bad. Also LOL at how wonderful it was living on the subway. I was waiting 3 or 4 trains on the University line for one that had space for passengers and my day ended at 530 not 430 like most people.

Ikantski posted:Hudak wanted to make the business environment slightly better for all businesses You know what, any time a politician says 'Ill make it easier to do business' I pretty much automatically dismiss them. gently caress business. Business has been far too easy to conduct for far too long. It's why so much poo poo got concentrated at the top and so much of the benefits of increased per capita productivity was allowed to remain in the hands of the few. It's so loving easy to do business now that other businesses can't compete in this market because the free market has reached the end game of taking so much of the pie that unless you were winning the game fourty years ago every time you lap the big Monopoly board you're getting less. Now even loving Ikea is having to revamp their business because they've admitted that people just aren't buying stuff at the rate we used to.

I'm sorry PT6A but we live in a society where once a situation has gone from being a danger to others to just dangerous to the person causing it, we aren't allowed to loving murder them because its more convenient and less costly than trying to resolve the situation without killing them. The fact that you don't understand this is highly disturbing.
