Sure, but is people making over $14m/year paying more taxes really a bad thing?

I mean you do have options. We have the labour board here in Canada.

You don’t tell your employer you’re talking to them. You let them contact the employer. They can’t fire you while an investigation is ongoing.

This is why you don’t ask.

Also, you don’t really need a whole day. I’m also Canadian. Employers are required to allow you time to do it, not an entire day.

I would phrase the question like this: “I need to take time to go vote. Would you prefer I take the morning or afternoon off?”

If they so no to both, you say “you know it’s illegal not to allow me time off to vote, right?”

I’ve changed careers since the last election, but as a driver I’d just say “I’m going to swing by the polling place in my way to or back from wherever” and it was never a problem.

I agree.

Thanks for the weed, Trudeau. You were an ok PM but it’s time to move on.

Maybe the next guy will fulfill your promise of election reform.

I agree. Cargo pants are out though.

If it’s hot enough I need shorts, I don’t need a jacket either, but I still need pockets!

If it’s cold enough to need pants, I’m at least bringing a jacket anyway.

I hope we get Eyes of Latveria after they introduce Dr. Doom

Interesting. Sounds nice.

It actually sounds delicious, just calling it a sundae feels so wrong.

Yeah apartments don’t usually pay for water or heat where I live. It’s also a huge waste of water

I agree with the comic, but your statement is so off base. Fuck Trump, quit being an idiot.

Not really an answer to your question, but if you live somewhere that freezes think about where your pipes are.

You gotta heat the bathroom and kitchen and any other rooms that may have pipes running through them, or you’re going to freeze and probably burst some pipes.

Or, you could leave your taps trickling, but that expensive too.
