SSM police have clamped up to “protect the identity of the victim(s)”. I’d say its a criminal matter.

Canada•Carney announces launch of new housing agency, earmarks funding for new projects
22·4 months agoHousing is Canada’s biggest problem and this announcement is half what the oil industry gets every year, not counting the $100B+ in recently announced subsidies.
this has been happening for decades in Canadian and other western countries. Canada’s financial sector firms are a c-suite, reserve accounts at the BoC, and a giant pile of services purchased from the US, India, Colombia etc.
The cancelled digital services tax was the lightest of scratches at the fixing the problems of trade in services.
All the noise about resources and goods tarrifs? Trade in services is larger, and services are a vastly larger share of the non-trade economy.

Doesn’t sound great but I could make it work.
I’d be less disappointed if the companies building cars in Canada were Canadian and building cars for the Canadian or global market. They aren’t. They are US companies building cars for export to the US. Why should every Canadian be paying to protect them while the US tarrifs its own companies?

Ontario•'Like a permanent barrier': Ontario needs to change hiring rules for people with criminal records, report says
6·5 months agopeople can apply and receive pardons after a while, which seals their official records.
A problem mentioned here is that employers are using unofficial private records and using them despite the pardons. Private sector hiring practices need lots of reforms, from fake postings, to compensation transparency to data & records.
they should’ve gone to The Jolly Taxpayer for a jollyness check
there’s a big strategic hole in this article.
The federal govt. spends first, taxes later. So spending isn’t constrained by taxes collected.
The debt/deficit argument is ONLY used against social spending. When it comes to pro-capital spending, the argument vanishes. $40B for pipelines? $150B in military spending? $80B in annual subsidies to give big investors risk-free bonds to buy? These are also all deficit spending.
Progessives should avoid reinforcing the debt/deficit spending myth, since it’s only used against progressive spending.
Haven’t been back since the coop was deliberately bankrupted. No plans to.
Is there more context for this?
