I hear you. I don’t go to stores often either nowadays. Just to get my weekly groceries and every 2-3 weeks, I’d go to Home Hardware or Canadian Tire.

I think this is well thought and I agree with “This position doesn’t contradict support for proportional representation - in fact, they’re complementary. PR ensures citizens’ votes translate fairly into representation, while security clearances help ensure those representatives aren’t compromised by foreign interests.”

Security clearance is required. We can still allow politicians to put their names on the ballot even if they fail security clearance, but they need to go through it because I, as a voter, want to know who has the “kompromat” for any particular politicians, whose pockets are the politicians are holing up in.

This is what I don’t understand: did felon truly believe that average magas (so not fascists tech bros and nepo babies) are going to give up gas cars and buy EVs instead?

How are they going to lord it over cyclists if they can’t even spew out black emissions as they speed by?

This may or may not help you, but what I do is: store my reusable bags with my shoes, so every time I reach for a pair of shoes before I leave the house, I could also grab a bag.

As part of enforcing Canada Elections Act, we should make sure that all prime minister candidates complete security clearance.

I wonder what pp has to hide?

I worry about this: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id but from the website, it seems that many states id/driver licenses are “REAL ID compliant” and you only need it if you fly domestically or wanting to access “certain federal facilities”.

Stay safe, friend.

I have a question for you, do you actually need REAL ID to travel domestically?

Yes I have done this too. “Don’t recommend channel” option is definitely handy.

Labours are not expensive. CEOs are expensive and frankly, not worth their pay. Let’s cap CEOs’ salary to say max 10X average salary of employees. For example: average employee in that company earns $70K a year. CEOs’ salary will then be capped at $700K a year. We should also give equal percentage raises, ie. CEOs want 10% raise? Then all employees will also have 10% raise.

How about building connections/community? Getting to know your neighbours? I know this is not easy as I am an introvert and believe me, I struggle with this but I have made it my goal to get to know my neighbours better this year. If/when the really hard times come, neighbours may become our lifeline and vice versa. I would also like to suggest we show more support for local community programs such as libraries and food banks, or perhaps consider volunteering? Perhaps through a provincial volunteer program such as Ontario Corps?

I would love to play felon a song but couldn’t find my microscopic violin.

And France (Saint Pierre) I think? Thanks CBC Gem!

Yes NIMBYISM of the rich. They want all the profit, don’t care about destroying the environment for profit, don’t care about polluting the air, the water, the soil through their fossil fuels extraction, as long as we don’t ruin their views. Tax the rich.

We need to re-learn the real cost of goods and not depending on China or other low cost third world countries. We need to re-learn the idea that “less is more” in terms of consumerism. Purchase a good quality, fairly priced item and use it for as long as possible, instead of dozens of cheaply made “stuffs” from low cost countries via Amazon platform.

Agree with you. Instead of simply exporting raw materials, we should export value added goods and services.

I bought an aluminum downspout recently from Home Hardware. Unfortunately the worker there couldn’t tell me where it was made. There was no manufacturer/brand label on it whatsoever. Just plain label showing material (aluminum) and measurements. I checked Canadian Tire, same type of product (they just didn’t have the size I need) and labelling.

Until I feel that usa can be trusted to be an ally and not an invader, I’m going to continue boycotting usa, tariff or no tariff. Unfortunately, once the trust is broken, it’s hard to repair.

I do it because usa threatens to annex Canada. I do it for Canada’s sovereignty.

tesla has been in a bubble for years. Granted, if an investor bought shares 10+ years ago, probably still make a tidy profit if they sell today. However those who bought in the past few months will probably pray for greater fools to rush in atm.
