  • My taxes are higher and the value of my dollar has greatly reduced under Trudeau... not sure what else there is to explain.

    One thing Trudeau took away before my bank account even had a chance to be happy about it was the spousal income splitting.

  • I never said he made my bank account happy, I said my bank account misses him, ex. things were a lot better for me financially under Harper than they have been under Trudeau, even excluding Covid

  • There is a community outside Toronto where most people can’t drink their tap water. Patience is running out.

  • I didn't say the federal government doesn't have a say in construction, I said that I highly doubt they are somehow only disallowing water projects

  • In what world do you need a second mortgage for a well or cistern? You could do it with an unsecured line of credit unless you're an idiot and destroyed your credit rating.

  • This is fucking stupid. I have lived around this area for my entire life and literally everyone who doesn't live on a reserve (and isn't part of an actual town) have wells or cisterns that were paid with privately.

    The only thing stopping someone from getting their own well would be if the ground water isn't available (very low probability that everyone around the reserve has ground water but the reserve doesn't) or that the ground water is contaiminted (also very low probability for the same reason as before, and especially because contamination that bad would have a huge affect downstream in the Grand River).

    Like shit, I have both a well and a cistern, as do all my neighbours around me... If someone could explain why wells and cisterns don't work on this particular reserve I'd really appreciate it.

  • Air Canada says government should be ready to prevent pilots from striking

  • Here's the big question: is the NDP willing to bring down the Government if the CPC force this topic into a confidence vote?

  • No, you can quit though, which would have a similar effect if the labour market wasn't being fucked with low-cost labour.

  • Proposed Canada Post price hike could make sending mail more expensive

  • Yeah, and look at how China treats their citizens to be able to do that.

  • Free expression bud, it's my right to be a judgemental asshole. Take that up with Pierre Trudeau.

  • Nearly two-thirds of Canadians support tariff on Chinese-made EVs, poll finds

    Jump

  • The first two (labour and quality control) aren't really what affect the MSRP. Labour makes a difference, but it' materials cost that really drives price, and QA isn't really the differentiator you might think.

    Uh, what, both of these have a massive affect on final price.

    The fact that labour is so expensive in Canada, the US and Western Europe is a big reason we farm stuff out to cheaper places (like Mexico and China) that don't have pesky things like high safety standards or employee benefits. I mean, shit, the fact the huge disparity in labour costs between the two countries is reason the TFW program even works. Not to mention that cost of labour is the main reason companies push for automation... it costs a lot less to have a couple guys maintianing robots than 20 guys on an assembly line.

    You are correct in that QA itself is basically nothing on the MRSP but failures can cause the end user a lot of time and money to deal with... not a hassle I personally want and nobody else should either. QA is one of the biggest reasons I never buy any big ticket items made in China.

    Plus there is the fact that buying literally anything Chinese is supporting an oppressive authoritarian regime.

  • I'd be willing to bet that the number proportion of motorcycle owners with health problems caused by riding is a hell of a lot lower than the proportion of people who don't eat right and don't exercise enough and have health problems linked to that.

    And no, it's not just overweight people I don't like, it's also people that are sick all the time (like, weak immune coughs and colds type of stuff).

  • Buying a motorcycle or classic car doesn't necessarily lead to injury in the same way that overeating and being lazy to the point of becoming a land whale does.

  • I never said "Don't engage in any risky behaviour". Stuff like cardiovascular and lung diseases and Type 2 Diabetes doesn't happen over the course of days, weeks, or months, you have to be chronically treating yourself like crap for years to get to those points.
