the increases they're asking for probably don't make up for the high inflation in the recent past. Particularly if inflation, as measured for consumers at that income level, doesn't stay at 2% or less for the next 4 years.

looks right side up to me

Candyman...candyman...cand-....nah

Grandpa! I still have his pantaloons.

now do US and Chinese oil companies...

this poll was way off... 10% high for NDP.. 6% low for SP...

Good to keep in mind whenever you see polls. They're garbage.

The NSA has many kinks. Watching people watch porn, precious bodily fluids/anti-flouride porn, that kind of thing. Good for them.

the NSA or other intelligence org invented it and provides ongoing funding to collect an enormous library of SHA256 hashes to aid in reducing the decryption space of SHA256 so they can watch people watching porn.

part of the idea is that clicking every ad presented destroys the ad system's ability to do meaningful targetting. I'm happy about that. Without the data collection and analysis performed by Google, Amazon, and Meta, advertising through them is less attractive to advertisors.

Most of the advertisors are lying garbage too. I have no sympathy for them.

AdNauseum. Built on uBlock Origin.

Block all the ads so you never seem them, but click them all so the advertisor pays.

China, India have tiny attempts and smaller successes at influence compared to the thousands of corporate lobbyists that meet with Canadian politicians every year.

What about the influence of the construction industry? Property developers outright own provincial and municipal politics in Ontario. Big tech?

Oil?!?

How about all the huge military and consulting companies that place 50% of the labour in govt workplaces and suck a 25% margin off each one?

Most of those aren't domestically owned either.

enjoy the recessions that come with balanced budgets and surpluses... everyone will be sending in extra taxes to balance that budget.
