Actually, according to Stats Canada this figure has averaged 10.5% since 2015 (11.8% if excluding the outliers of 2020 and 2021), and was consistently above 13% in prior years. Frankly, the old do deserve to get what they were promised. They worked hard and did their part. What would you do...

Would you rather pay a user fee for all the infrastructure and services that support you earning that income? For instance, every road being a toll road to the point you need to pay a toll just to leave your driveway. Is that what you want? If the answer is no, shut up and pay your taxes instead...

So you repeat what I stated, then restate your point that price and value are not the same while ignoring my point that price is merely a derivative of value, and you call that an argument? No, an argument would be refuting the point that price is derived from value. You have not only failed to...

No, my intent was to respond to you. There was an error with the copying and pasting of the quote tags. I'm responding from my phone, and I guess a quote tag that I had saved to my clipboard from a response to appleomac got pasted instead of the tag from your post, and I failed to notice it...

All transactions are trades in value. The seller sets the price at $9 because that is what the value is to them. You will only buy the coffee if you value it more than your $9. Price is a derivative of value. Therefore, price is irrelevant in the long-run. If your income is $50k one year and...

This is the closest I've ever seen someone on the right come to the reality. Usually I see the old "inflation is always caused by government printing money" line. You actually show an understanding that is more in line with the equation of exchange. Need I remind you that since 1926...

Precisely. I am not ignoring this. It is simply not relevant. If I were to save up and buy it in 2024, it would cost me $23,670 in 2024 dollars. If I borrow to buy it in 2020, I am repaying the borrowed funds with dollars worth less than what I borrowed. The real value of the thing bought is...

Sure... This right here is why I love capitalism. Myself and my clients get richer while you lot complain about rising cost of living and degrading quality of life. Most people have a very backwards and toxic relationship with debt.

Just getting a chance to respond to you now. I don't have the time to get into everything, but on this point, read up on real vs nominal value. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. If I took out a $20,000 debt in 2020 and didn't pay off any principal, as of today the nominal...

The CPC's need to pander to the base is a problem of the party's own creation. The reality of politics is that the bulk of the votes are closer to the centre, but the CPC's insistence on "big tent", "unite the right" politics means that their base is well off centre. So they end up having to...

3 surpluses since 1926. That's the fiscal record of the various iterations of the Conservative Party. That's about 10% of the budgets they've passed in that period, or, to flip that around, a roughly 90% rate of delivering deficits. In the same window, only 75% of Liberal budgets have been...

You would assume correctly. In fact, MPs in Canada do not write Bills whatsoever. The DoJ drafts government Bills and House legislative counsel drafts private members' Bills with direction from the private member in terms of content. One instance is sufficient to establish a convention in...

You forget that the people writing these Bills are all trained in legal writing to some extent. They know, or ought to know, better than to use multiple words to convey the same meaning. When they deviate from this convention, it is almost invariably with some ulterior motive. In this case, as...

First off, the phrase is "distinction without a difference." Second, you clearly have little to no legal background yourself, despite having used that claim of lack of legal background as an argument against LLLurkJ2. Every single word matters in law. I have no personal preference of...

It is loaded terminology in the sense that it is a politically charged term used exclusively by anti-abortion advocates. Law should be politically neutral. There is nothing within the scope of the Bill that can be said through the use of the term "preborn" that can't be said with the use of the...

C311 is not exactly a reintroduction of C225. It doesn't touch on the problem of introducing loaded terminology into legislation, nor does it impact the same section of the Criminal Code, though it does have the same stated intent — to protect pregnant women and their unborn children — and it...

I know I'm a few days late stepping in here, but this is just flat out incorrect. You are conflating legislation and regulations with laws. Case law is law. In fact, the majority of law in Canada is case law. So your assertion that there are zero laws on abortion in Canada is proven wrong by the...

Chanel 4322 is probably fake. Images are Montreal-based Erotic, formerly known as Kiki when she used to come out to BC. She'd bumped her verified ad in Montreal only about 2 hours before the Chanel ad popped up.

Forgot to respond to this. Honestly, she doesn't really offer much. CBJ, a few positions, and that's about it... I was actually surprised to see the review in here saying that she does DATY.

Yeah, absolute time waster. I drove half an hour to White Rock only for her to ignore me and post a fresh ad AFTER I messaged to tell her I'd arrived...
