I knew that when I got my first job as a teen and heard grown adults saying they didn't want to work overtime because it would push them into a higher tax bracket and would result in them taking home LESS money. lolI weep for my generation and the next. It turns out our political and financial education is just as bad as the states!

Worse, because we just follow their lead with a lag of a few years, while ignoring all of the takeaways we could learn from their fumbles.I weep for my generation and the next. It turns out our political and financial education is just as bad as the states!
This is so rampant in construction that I go back and forth between educating people and just hoping for my head to explode.I knew that when I got my first job as a teen and heard grown adults saying they didn't want to work overtime because it would push them into a higher tax bracket and would result in them taking home LESS money. lol
I'm pretty sure I heard some spokeswoman for some doctor's association in an interview saying that physicians are highly educated and skilled individuals who can just stop practicing and do something else. Like… sure, Jan. Just give them higher fees and stop trying to make corporations people, it's fucking ridiculous.The argument is that already-short doctors will leave, businesses owned by the wealthy affected will raise their prices to make up for extra tax and of course inheritance will be affected. Not to mention Canadians who are relying on real estate as income lol. At least that's what I gathered from our conservative media that would explain that particular poll result. High taxes "always bad" lol

Most of these people in construction hear "progressive" in "progressive taxation" and assume you're feeding them a wheelbarrow of "libtard bullshit".Ppl still say that and don't understand what I'm saying when I explain how taxes work, ugh

Honestly I love freaks like this. It's what makes any electoral system great
It's an odd situation. Americans who are upset with rising inflation tend to blame President Joe, not Trader Joe. But here in Canada, it's Weston who has become the object of scorn and derision, rather than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau — a man who touts his inflationary policies as a feature, rather than a bug.
The scapegoating of Galen Weston was made possible by a concerted campaign on the part of left-wing politicians and activists to harness public anger over rising inflation and economic uncertainty during the pandemic.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has spent years trying to pin the blame for inflation on captains of industry like Weston, who he accuses of "ripping people off." And Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has channelled Singh's anti-capitalist campaign to divert attention from his own policy failures.
Our political leaders have been spurred on by the liberal press, and fuelled by youngsters on social media, who revel at any opportunity they get to flip the bird at Weston and other supermarket CEOs. Quite literally, in fact.
Sigh. Do any of you know much about Local Coin? It's a bitcoin ATM thing… I don't know a thing about bitcoin lol.
Can you remove money from bitcoin or is it like, you have to cash it back out?
What do you mean exactly?
You wanna use the atm to withdraw money from a wallet you have?
The "coins" he bought would be in his crypto wallet and he could sell them on an online exchange or just use the ATM to cash them out at a later time. I think that company even offers their own online exchange to cash in or out on their website.
There may or may not be transactions fees, haven't used one in years but they definitely had them the last time I did.
Apart from the transaction fees, he could easily cash out if he wants to.
Unions/corporations can also donate to municipal parties outside of campaigns, in this new legislation's current form.
In case anyone wondered if the UPC wasnt' the reigning champion of dipshit useless provincial governments.
Ottawa doesn't know Alberta, so shouldn't meddle when Albertans know what they need more than Ottawa does, but a legislature in Edmonton knows what municipalities should do better than the municipalities do.
The UCP doesn't have any issue with vote tabulators, but some Albertans do, so more people involved in the process manually doing shit is important to make Albertans feel like their elections are safe, because people don't make mistakes but computers do. Also, spending money thoughtfully and being efficient are important. Sometimes.
Oh, and also corporations can donate directly to candidates in elections now. Because they're people, of course! Also, unions can, so that's okay, because there isn't any imbalance in the numbers of corporations vs unions, no sir, that's just fair and them's the breaks.
In case you wondered where this shit is stemming from, it's the far right running the province and they A) hate Edmonton because it votes NDP, and had a mask mandate when the province didn't, B) are conspiracy theorists who think dead people are voting for the NDP or some shit, and C) are corporate boot lickers and temporarily embarrassed millionaire stooges.
UCP longing for the days of company towns. Work for the company. Rent your home from the company. Buy your PPE and groceries and supplies from the company store. The "Good Ol' Days".Unions/corporations can also donate to municipal parties outside of campaigns, in this new legislation's current form.
I live in a small town and some friends are UCP supporters. I asked them if they'd be ok if the NDP or LIberals won power, then used this bill to remove conservative-leaning people from council. Turns out that's 'different'UCP longing for the days of company towns. Work for the company. Rent your home from the company. Buy your PPE and groceries and supplies from the company store.

Also, funny hearing Ric McIver's defense of some of this municipal fuckery being "we already had this power, and we don't anticipate having to use it, but we'd hate to have to come back in the middle of summer holidays to do something". Get fucked, Ric.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he would use "whatever tools the constitution allows" to pass criminal justice laws if his party forms the next government.
Speaking to the Canadian Police Association on Monday, Poilievre promised to implement more stringent requirements for bail and make it harder for convicted murderers to transfer out of maximum security prisons.
"All of my proposals are constitutional," Poilievre said.
"We will make them constitutional using whatever tools the constitution allows me to use to make them constitutional. I think you know exactly what I mean."
No I'm not a mind reader PP, of the party of PP, and don't know exactly what you mean... why don't you just go ahead and say the quiet part out loud... you know you want to.
We are so fucked if this crypto goblin becomes PM
Poilievre's day-long removal from the House of Commons came after he called Trudeau a "wacko" for supporting B.C.'s policy of decriminalizing some hard drugs in an attempt to reduce the number of overdose-related deaths.
Poilievre said it was a "wacko policy" backed by "this wacko prime minister." Fergus asked him to withdraw the "unparliamentary language."
Poilievre refused, saying only that he agreed to replace "wacko" with "extremist" or "radical." Poilievre's refusal prompted Fergus to remove him.
That would require him to actually have a plan. All he has is promises and soundbites.No I'm not a mind reader PP, of the party of PP, and don't know exactly what you mean... why don't you just go ahead and say the quiet part out loud... you know you want to.
He was removed for refusing to withdraw the comment. They gave him multiple chances and he refused them all.
I am so tired of all the times these representatives - from all sides - behave like children. The speaker is standing and talking, shut up.
