Opposition to bike lanes and traffic control is about nothing other than class. If there's one thing the rich won't stand for, it's being mildly inconvenienced for the sake of making life better for a bunch of dirty poors and their dirty neighbourhoods.

I know poli-sci 100 was great, and libertarianism can be very titillating for an adolescent boy... but, seriously: grow up. Suggesting that guns are a human right is perhaps the most juvenile and vapid idea I've come across on here.

Repeating talking points written by American lobbyists? Is Doug also lobbying the EU for them? Telling us American politicians are "furious" like that should matter to us? Why should we care what the politicians of a corrupt, failing state care about our laws?

Interac and the credit card companies forbid retailers from directly passing their fees to customers in the form of a service charge, so retailer has to bake these fees into their retail price. So, even if you pay cash, you are still paying for Interac fees. Nice little scam for Canada's banks.

burningfrancis.bsky.social @burningfrancis.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

Or, how they use that monopoly to make us pay twice for their service. First we pay our bank fees for the privilege of having their card. Then, Interac charges the retailer transaction fees when you use the card. Those fees are around 2% and up, which make up part of the price you pay.

I wonder if the article mentions that Interac, a partnership between the big banks,has an effective monopoly on payment processing in Canada?

Things people are hopeful for when meeting PP: 1. Tax breaks for corporations and the rich, paid for by... 2. Social Service Cuts 3. More pandering (Dani Smith-style)to the 20% of Canadians who are anti-vaxx, flat-earth believing separatists and MAGA lunatics - PP's base.

So, the Walrus is now spewing corporate propaganda for banks and the credit card industry disguised as news? Yeesh. Sleazy on so many levels. I would expect this from Postmedia but you guys too? I know you have bills to pay, but how about a little dignity?

I suppose you had a nice chat about strike-busting with this overpaid CEO? When was the last time you sat down to hear from the workers? Or should they just shut up and take it until it's time to legislate away their right to strike again?

Of course. This is what Trumpers do. Gotta give red meat to the whacko right every now and then to keep their loyalty. This is just early stages - their appetite increases with time, as we have all witnessed in the American news.

History and its reference is important. Dr Gabor Mate talks about #Canadian #Indigenous, #Israeli history, and #Palestinians genocide. It matter to know what’s #history has happened and not just a snapshot. This explanation is profoundly important to consider. #cdnpoli #WarOnGaza #AidToGaza

"Move on. If the Canadians want to keep talking about it — that's their business. I'm not talking about it; Donald Trump is not talking about it." Sounds just like what an abusive partner would say. We will move on when the U.S. stops being a radioactive shithole.

This is what mainstream conservatism is now: Trumpism. It works. It gets them power. It creates a radicalized fanbase. They won't be putting the genie back into the bottle voluntarily.

You mean *conservative* premiers bucked the plan, after seeing what a political opportunity they had in all this tragedy.

1) Provinces are responsible for delivering healthcare. 2) The PM is not there to protect you from the shitty provincial government you elected. If you want to nurse outrage, at least direct it where it belongs, or you sound like a whining Albertan.

... and if the Supreme Court does miraculously come down against Trump, how would you enforce it anymore than you've enforced your recent token legal wins... or for that matter, any matter related to Trump. It's over already, and nothing is going to change until you're on the streets.

burningfrancis.bsky.social @burningfrancis.bsky.social · 24/05/2025

Americans, while their country burns: "sure, sure, Trump has systematically bull-dozed every other check and balance, but this last one might work!" The Supreme Court has given you a positive verdict or two precisely so they can point to their independence when they inevitably side with Trump.

Sam Mraiche should learn some things from Loblaw's: they know how to profiteer off a pandemic without causing such a stir amongst the plebs. I hope the rest of Canada is paying attention: this is the Conservative plan for healthcare.
