https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/here-s-why-it-s-so-hard-to-get-a-campsite-in-ontario-parks-1.5366507 The government said the reselling of permits is out of their hands. “These operators and individuals are not associated with Ontario Parks. The reassignment of reservations by outside operators or individuals is permitted under provincial park legislation," its spokesperson said. "The park permit must be modified to reflect the new reservation holder." It seems trivially simple to enforce that the buyer of a park reservation must be the one checking in and to criminalize reselling but I guess that's too complex for this government.

Beelzebufo posted:Is this a new phenomenon for people? The NDP was in charge of Manitoba until 2016. The consistent patterns across all of Canada is that the one sort of left-of-centre party rules for a time until they wear out their welcome, then the cons take over until they poison the well, rinse and repeat. The PCs weren't going to be in charge forever, but it ultimately doesn't matter because the same stupid system that keeps eventually returning them to power persists. I just assume canadian swing voters are like dogs and sort of do things arbitrarily

Is there any kind of vaccine certificate implemented yet for proof of being fully vaccinated? My buddy from Australia got one, shiny official letterhead and everything. Bit concerned I get stuck in bureaucratic limbo in case these things become mandatory for travel or whatever because I got one dose in Canada and one in the USA.

From my experience its kept clean for the most part and the encampments were nothing like they're making it up to be, yet the most upvoted post on the reddit thread on it making it sound like it's like a third world slum with gun violence, etc. Other people who live nearby and sharing their stories of not really having problems getting downvoted.

EvilJoven posted:Someone can be opposed to one thing while also wanting better things for everyone but that's lost on a lot of people. I've seen people literally miss work because some shithead stole the wheels off their bike and they can't afford the cost to replace them or lament that they don't feel safe to go to the only park they can afford to take their kids to because they aren't privileged enough to be able to be able to get to the good parks in the nicer (aka more affluent) parts of town but hey guess if you aren't OK with tent cities popping up wherever you're just a chud. The particular encampments that triggered this discussed are like right next to me, I walk past it frequently and people are just loving making bullshit up about it out of some reflexive need to do vice signalling. The only argument I'd allow is that the park was too small to be usable as a park with people living there, but that'd bring up uncomfortable questions about the government's housing policy that enough people have been driven to homelessness that they're starting to clog up public spaces on a large enough scale. And in this specific case there's no shortage of other (larger even!) parks to go to, and lakeshore is very close by (with beaches, bike trails, and even more parks).

"complicated history" https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/edmonton-vandals-target-a-ukrainian-wwii-memorial-with-a-complicated-history-1.6139297 The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton called the graffiti "disturbing" and reported it to police. "This vandalism is part of the decades-long Russian disinformation campaign against Ukraine and Ukrainians to create a false Nazi image of Ukrainian freedom fighters," it said in an emailed statement. "The translation of the Ukrainian message on our vandalized monument is 'For those who fought for Ukraine's Freedom.'" The Ukrainian Youth Unity Council said in a statement that recent accusations against its community have been "riddled with disinformation." "As for those who presume a right to dictate to us about whom we should honour, we invite them to reflect upon whom they are serving when publishing divisive 'fake news,'" the statement read. Jars Balan, the director of the Ukrainian Canadian Studies Centre at the University of Alberta, said the history of the monuments is complicated. The memorial in St. Michael's Cemetery was put up to honour the people who fought against both the Soviet army and the Nazis for the independence of Ukraine during the Second World War. "There's all this history behind this. And in history, context is everything. Horrible things happened in the Second World War," he said. "Difficult decisions, and decisions that may be regrettable in retrospect, were made. But it's hard to put yourself in the shoes of those people who had to make them then." He said it's easy to refer to them as Nazis, but as a historian, he needs to be objective.

EngineerJoe posted:People who say this should at least identify which party their planning on voting for so we can know in which way its biased. Elections are about mass politics and appeal, and the responsibility of having enough of it to win a riding is the job of the political party, not the individual voter. The shifting of the responsibility onto individuals is broken brain liberal poo poo that substitutes moral blackmail for actually and credibly offering people anything. You will not decide the election with your single ballot, the only way to have a meaningful impact is to volunteer your time and energy to convince a statistically significant number of other people to do something specific with theirs. Your individual vote should absolutely be for whoever you want, and "strategic" voting is for morons.

InfiniteZero posted:Sometimes that self-serving reason is that the NDP candidate is floating around 15% in the polls and not voting Liberal ends up putting some Conservative fuckhead in power instead. poo poo on people who do this all you want: the problem is that the very thought of letting many CPC members into power feels emergent. I know it's popular around here to say "oh the Liberals are the same thing as the CPCs" but are you not old enough to remember I don't know Stephen loving Harper? Sure, lesser of two evils is absolutely true and everything but the gap in evil (sometimes moreso in specific ridings) is pretty large. I don't think so. I've seen my quality of life degrade massively under the liberals. Rents being jacked up to the point where I've had to move 4 times in 5 years, one of which was a renoviction. Being able to buy and not have to deal with landlords completely out of reach despite holding down a steady job. They don't give a gently caress about anyone not already on the property ladder, as shown by how much they've funneled towards keeping asset prices up, and I will never vote for them. Luckily they don't need my vote, since the majority of canadians aren't renters.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-housing-plan-1.6151154 If the Liberals are re-elected on Sept. 20, Trudeau said, he would introduce a first home savings account which would allow Canadians up to age 40 to save $40,000 toward their first home and withdraw it tax-free when it comes time to buy. Money added to the account would go in tax-free and could be withdrawn without any taxes owing on possible investment gains. He said a Liberal government would double the first-time home buyers tax credit from $5,000 to $10,000 — an incentive that would help with the many closing costs that come with buying property. nothing about reducing house prices, just starving the government of revenue so its easier for you to get into massive levels of debt i love liberalism

3 centre parties and not a single left wing socialist one is going to approach PPC numbers. This is not a problem that you can solve via facebook arguments lol. There's ongoing problems in society that our leaders have no interest in addressing, this is going to lead to people being radicalized, and since this country is full of small-c conservatives that radicalization is going to be to the right. There's also billions of dollars being poured into right radicalization by oligarchs across the world (but primarily america), the left doesn't have that kind of money or any institutions remaining to make their case.

Looks like the NDP got locked out in the GTA again looking at some sample ridings Scarboough Centre: 14% this election (so far), down from 30% in 2011 Toronto Centre: 25% (so far), down from 36% in 2013 Beaches-East York: 23% so far, down from 41% (!!) in 2011 I know the NDP is going to try to hide behind the "Trudeau called a pointless election" narrative but this is loving sad Not sure what the point of this party is if they can't even win anything in dense urban cores full of renters and skyrocketing costs of housing that should be their bread and butter electorate

Shocking news https://ottawacitizen.com/news/nati...-forces-report/ Far-right extremists in Ukraine brag they have received training from the Canadian Forces: report The study from an institute at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., tracked social media accounts of the far-right group Centuria, documenting its Ukrainian military members giving Nazi salutes, promoting white nationalism and praising members of Nazi SS units. Centuria members acknowledged on social media they have received training from the Canadian military and have participated in military exercises with Canada. In May, Centuria organizers boasted to their followers that its members currently served as officers in Ukraine’s military and “have succeeded in establishing cooperation with foreign colleagues from such countries as France, the United Kingdom, Canada, the USA, German and Poland,” according to the institute’s report. [...] “The Ukrainian military’s failure to check Centuria activities suggests a level of tolerance on its part for the apparent proliferation of far-right ideology and influence within the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the study warned. One member of the group has received officer training in the United Kingdom’s Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, graduating in late 2020. Another attended the German Army Officer’s Academy in Dresden in 2019. In the summer of 2019, Centuria came out in support of a rally held by Ukrainian far-right groups to counter the LGBTQ “Kyiv Pride” event. Centuria released a statement that it supported “right patriots, nationalists, conservatives and Christians currently defending the streets of Kyiv from perverts from the LGBT movement and their left-liberal sympathizers.”

It's all bullshit anyway. Here's a good resource on the Nazi economy: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-supermanagerial-reich/ After some initial token gestures towards full employment and social spending, the Nazis went all in on privatizing the economy and massively cratering worker wages, working conditions and living standards. Their economy was unsustainable, except by imperial conquest and slavery, military arms buildups and war. Which is what they proceeded to do.
