Good article. Document, document, document.

You’re white, right? An immigrant?

What sport

Didn’t realize you psychopaths were on here already

Controversial opinion but yes, the stochastic violence he invokes has provoked a direct and proportionate response that is morally justified.

Furthermore, people who identify with the dumper are disincentivized from pulling similar stunts. It’s a good thing for society when those willing to commit actual violence with hate, trashing the words mmiwg, such as this man, it’s a good thing that they now know there is physical danger or danger to their property that comes with their hate acts.

Very competitive and fun 😀 much more entertaining than a Moose game!

Another expert I saw mentioned that their predictions of the worst-case stuff for the future is that it will be twice as bad compared to now. A lot of lives and houses, infrastructure, etc. can be lost when live in a reality where our fire fighting has to pick and choose which cities and livelihoods we save.

Excellent, keep it up government. Thank you to the Senate and to the house of Commons 👏👏 great job following Australia!

Link taxes are a great thing for democracy and to combat the largest corporations in history. They’re really effective and they’ve been used before. See Australia. Facebook/Meta paid and is paying.

Common term. It means dollars of tax per 1,000 dollars of assessed value.

Yes this is true everywhere in Canada. Property owners have very few obligations beyond mowing the lawn and paying property taxes which have shrunk by 70% since the late 90s relative to the sale price of a home. It’s dirt cheap to own a property once you’ve acquired it.

Winnipegs mill rate is 12.9 today. In 2002 it was 29! Before that it was even higher.

I left Toronto because I couldn’t afford to buy a somewhat cheap condo or a reasonable house. My household income was $160k at the time. It’s a nice city with great services, great people, but the housing is unbelievable - it forced me and my family out with our two kids.

I have also visited Copenhagen and it’s the same there - extremely high housing costs means that you’re poor by default unless you bought in 20-30 years ago. Great, I can buy a beer for 5 kroner, but housing is an apartment for $300k

Calgary, Sydney, Auckland, Vancouver… yes, all of these also apply.

There are drones this year at the forks 👍

As well, I do not understand what the caretaker is doing… they should be able to maintain the sidewalk and paths to cars to be snow and ice-free. Surely?

The article is bereft of details and, admittedly, I did not go to the anti-camp’s website etc. to learn more.

How many jobs are going to be created? How much profit will be extracted from the land? Is there a tariff they’ll pay per tonne? What happens in the worst-case scenario wrt to ecological impact, and jobs? Is there a well-cleanup provision in place as well?

Something tells me that this is actually a very risky 20+ year project where this very valuable resource (pure sand, right?) ends up profiting a the owners and we get very little in return and actually incur the most risk and worst rewards of the deal.

I do agree with the council though. Their decision being overridden by an unelected board is undemocratic at best and at worst ignores the ecological impact that has not been considered by the land use board from what I can tell? Again, article lacks many details here as to how this undemocratic provincial board is now arriving at decisions that used to fall to local councils.

Can we appeal the appeal with *another * 50 person delegation (I think those are the rules for this unelected board to hear a case) 😏

15 now. This is rivaling the Humboldt tragedy 😔

32 bike parking spaces instead of 64,

Minimums suck, but at least we’re getting some bike parking spots. I’m looking at you, St. James Costco and your 0 spots.

What software do you use

Tuesday and Thursday all summer, 330 to 630 💪
