It owns that like everytime I check the NS section of the CBC there's some Ontario yuppie couple whining about something. Half the time they're landlords or property developers or in marketing. Go home then fuckos!!

Speaking of private entities Tim Houston's latest method to... "solve".... the NS housing crisis is partnering with some kind of AirBNB-but-Shittier techbro service to let people rent out their spare bedrooms. Epic. A billion to twin highways, zero to build new public housing. But the Uber of Guest Rooms gets its cut. gently caress yeah

I think I read an article about some Timmies franchisee in PEI opening up company housing for his workers that he ever so graciously charges them rent for. Might be mixing up the companies though

Oh I think it was this, but apparently the tenants managed to win a case against eviction (presumably by accident)

is this the 103 where the crashes are TOTALLY not because of drunk driving being a thing honest

it’s wild how NS has old school NY machine politics where the condition of your roads are tied to whether you got the right party in or not

They're twinning three. That one between New Glasgow and Antigonish which is almost done iirc, one from the city to Lunenberg, and the one in Windsor which they can't start until figure out how to deal with the most vital piece of infrastructure in the entire province: an artificial lake used by a local snow resort and property developers who want to build lakeside suburbs.

Don't drive so I don't know their numbers but also I'm sure that applies to all of them lol. Of course we could just rebuild the train network to reduce the amount of drivers and lower the speed limits inst- *user was blackbagged by the NSDOT*

There's no need to open new land in the greenbelt when you can just let a herd of wild bulldozers loose in the suburbs and build better stuff after they're done. Also nationalise AirBnB

The train thing is such an out of nowhere inclusion lol. I can only assume some Tory uppity up has family on the board of CN or something since VIA doesn't own any track iirc and can only run on CN or Canada Pacific or whoever' lines. Only way it makes sense

Coincidentally the privatised track through New Brunswick is so poorly maintained that there are sections VIA won't let trains go faster than 30km/h lol. Takes 22 hours to go Hali - Montreal, which is only like 14 by car

there was a poster in canpol, back when the information about freeland's grandfather came out (years back), who insisted that no one in the thread would have made a different choice, and that he was coerced into owning and running the formerly jewish printing press, and naturally had to print nazi propaganda

i don't remember who it was, but it was certainly something to watch

Based on no evidence I'm going to say it was exxon and start some goon telephone to that effect

On the one hand, Holocaust expert says "nuance" is inappropriate (I would have liked to seen the direct quote, but I suppose the author ran out of room). On the other, guy with no ulterior motives whatsoever claims that it's literally impossible for any Ukrainian to have been a "Nazi", held antisemitic feelings, or supported the Third Reich.

what are the actual NDP leaders stance on this?

quote:

[...]The terrorist attacks by Hamas on thousands of innocent Israeli civilians are unjustifiable. We are shocked by the brutality, missile attacks, kidnappings, and targeting of civilians including the elderly and children. These are war crimes and must be prosecuted. We call for the immediate safe return of all hostages and call on the government of Canada to do everything in its power to ensure the release of Canadians among the captives.

This morning, Israel’s ground operation into Gaza commenced. Civilians in Gaza are caught in a horrific cycle of violence; like the Israeli civilians killed over the past few days, Gazans are victims of Hamas’ brutality.[...]
