I get it: the ghouls who have super-charged their prices want a government subsidy. FUCK 'EM, when I die, let my corpse rot on their front lawn. Maybe then they’ll figure out how to live with one less yacht.

Best three-way ever!!

Thoughts and prayers, lots and lots of thoughts.

And prayers.

If someone was willing to bring Galen Jerky to the party I’d be there is a heart-beat. Even if it was teriyaki or honey garlic.

Eat the rich, thinly sliced on Weston bread.

Once again, the Federal gov bears the brunt of populist, provincial bullies without a clue. Politics in this country are a train wreck and now the carrion-fed Koch organization is pecking at the dead flesh. Yeah, and while we’re at it, in pre-election mode, let’s spend $8M and counting to remind us all how good things are under the blue oaf in Ontario.

see, renewables contracts, Bill 124, this cap and trade, the greenbelt changes, the OEB override and legislation

A Florida man… if 19-April is your birthday, you just won!!

Look up the lyrics to “If I Had A Rocket Launcher” for instructions on how to deal with this kind of theft.

“LAPD officer will not face criminal charges in killing of 14-year-old girl at store during police confrontation with suspect”

Cop not held accountable for murdering innocent bystander. FTFY.

Fuck Rogers and all the corpo media hacks.

I thought The Beaverton until I realized it was real. ACAB

If they could get their share price above a dime it might make them somewhat more credible; as it stands, meh, another wingnut opinion masquerating as fact.

Dismissed.

Bullies gonna bully. There was a lot of chirping at a recent hockey game. A visiting forward who liked to run his mouth and had a tough guy rep was checked, hard, along the boards in front of our team. He was supposed to be a tough guy but he winced. Who knows why, but he showed weakness. Fast as lighting, the Coach said (loud enough for the bench but not the refs) “Why don’t you go cry home to Mommy.” For the rest of the game the guy stayed away and was nothing of a factor in the game .

The point is when Trump was facing the half billion dollar fine (and supposedly the tough guy) he went ape-shit wincing, weaseling and whinging about it and NO-ONE called him on it. He’s out of control and no-one has the ability to stop his antics.

So I guess, you get what you pay for; or vote for. And that’s not leadership on the part of the court, it’s appeasement.

The theory you describe is an endlessly increasing resource stream? Or is there a point where taxpayers run out of resources and the doctors, no longer getting what they want, withdraw their services? Does this sound like a rational and well thought out path forward?

What about the taxes not paid on income through deductions? If the business is paying out 25-30% in legitimate expenses against the Doctor’s income, it’s a push. No-one has got anything near an increase to keep up with inflation over the past time span they reference - that’s why Galen Weston is the poster-boy for corporate greed: HE makes more (as do the investor-class of land-owners and stock-players) while we plebes foot the bill.

Goddam, I’d like to get ahead, too, who wouldn’t? But the implicit message here is “Pay me more or I’m gone.” So CTV interviews one doctor who’s uncertain she’ll get sufficient ROI on her Canadian taxpayer subsidized education, who’s facing making a median $250K a year and upset that after expenses and taxes, she won’t have enough left to pay herself anything but “a pretty low rate”.

How low? Well… $250K minus 30% expenses is $175K - and if they are legit deductions, her tax bill will be around $38500, leaving her $136500 as take home. That’s $47.40 per hour.

Here’s some free advice, buttercup, we’re all in the same boat, we just don’t all work in a profession that garners 6-month probationary writers to hear us whinge.

A surplus of $14.8m versus a projected deficit of $6m. That’s a $20m swing. Someone is either sandbagging or terrible at projections. Either way, it belies dishonesty or incompetence. Neither builds trust in a municipal government.

What a crackpot, malunderstood dunce of a comment is this: “When the Hamas sees Israel’s closest allies in the West coming against Israel at a time like this, Hamas will say ‘why should we negotiate any deal?'” Ummmm, because the IDF is on an uncontrolled killing spree, a pogrom, if you will, against Palestinians?
