It's silly to expect owners to know what's underground, hell most don't really know how their house works, we can't be experts in everything.

This totally makes it in owners interest to do the wrong thing and ignore remains. Government (I e. All of us) should fund universities(?) to investigate should not be a cost born by individuals.

I liked Jagmeet, and the NDP platform (well what i understood of it), if i wasn't worried that PP would get in they would have gotten my vote. I did feel that he didn't stand a chance of getting in.

I did read Carney's book (values), i found it extremely difficult to read, and said a lot without saying anything. I don't think he would get my vote if not for PP.

I'd like to see a rule that any politician voted in must work in an aid camp in a warzone to be elegable for office. Or maybe spend a year as an average citizen in their country.

Decide your budget first, everything after that follows. Most likely like others have said ignore that old pc, you get get something much better second hand for very cheap.

Thank you! This is like the one thing it should have had

It seems like your ignoring that this will encourage tipping, that has tended to lower wages, as seen in USA. It doesn't seem like this is perfect or good

  1. I've exercised options from a company in canada, they were taxed distinctly (and more favourably) from income.

  2. He'd have no reason to take his payment this way otherwise. (FWIW Every CEO (both canadian and american) of a wealthy company i've seen has taken their pay in a manner similar to this: most of the comp is in stocks)

In most cases yes. However in the cases of fines poor people are more penalized than wealthy, so there should be some proportional consideration there.

Please don't attack MAID I want it there for when my time comes.

Yes the same grocery store owners who have been making record profits will pass the savings on to us.

We have 40 years of evidence that lower taxes aren't better for anyone but the most wealthy.

On top of that you want to ignore climate?

Please reconsider this vote.

I'm all for women's right to choose. How would we make money, I think we'd essentially be funding US medical treatments, which I'm ethically fine with, but would prefer to have my taxes go towards things for Canadians.

My understanding is that we can't have a private system along side the public system without "funding" the private system by WTO rules. Besides the fact that running a private system beside a public system is parasitic (i.e. we are assuming an infinite supply of doctors and nurses).

I think we should probably focus on paying our existing nurses and doctors better, and getting our hospitals back in working order.

I think it is hard. All their platforms look the same, it's difficult to find their voting records. Even their promises can't be trusted.

And since the candidates you hear the most about tend to be the leaders there's a bias to vote for a party, rather than your representative.

Beyond that issues are often things I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, so I don't know say how bad bringing in pay for healthcare would be for the public system (you've got to read studies to know that shit).

In make believe land I think that only impacted and experts would have a say. So corporate interests wouldn't get quite so much say, and distribution would be better. And farmers would get more say on ag related issues and technical people would get more say on things like DRM... But really that also probably just turn to shit.
