No. they work for themsevles. Like all people. And if you make them less efficient or try to impose conditions on them which make work harder then either the good ones quit and work for someone else leaving only the crap ones, or they just don't give a crap and do as little as necessary and we...

So you figure making the gov't employee less efficient and work in worse conditions is good for the taxpayer? Wow. Never run a business.

THey're talking about all home units which includes apartments, and as you can clearly see the number is shrinking. The number was growing for a little while there leading up to about 2019, but now its beginning to go down. It only works when theres a long term radical increase in property...

Well this is it. 90 percent or more of cops are great people doing a good job in really tough conditions. Then you get the odd douceball like this one who is terrible and deserves to be severely punished. But - when that happens the radical left starts making comments about how NO police...

Oh look yet more people saying they're "considering" charges after thinking about things for months. Yawn. That's all they do. They've been 'considering charges" since he was first elected. Russian collusion, obstructing justice, stolen documents, abuse of power, inciting rebellion now i...

He had crappy engineers. :) You raise a valid point. "i hear you traveled here from the past. Take my advice - go back. The future isn't what it used to be." -Babylon 5

They're definitely a factor. But It's far more complex. How units being built are taxed is a big issue, there's issues with how they're financed, there's provincial regulation and other factors, and now of course there's an unstable interest rate which discourages development in a big way, so...

If they can find a way to do it that works, sure. Why not. I can't immediately see how but as i very clearly said - "It should be left up to the departments to figure out what works for them." If it works for them then great. If showing up at the job works for them then great . How is this...

Tbere's little evidence to support that. Surveys have been done to determine the number of vacant homes in several markets and it always turns out to be a pretty low number. And that includes reasons other than investment groups choosing to do so. Consider vancouver, one of the most expensive...

Good luck. The gov't and the CCP are intertwined into every element of life, you'd never dig it out

I'm sure they would. The question is which country would do it? :)

Fourth reason is really the only one that matters. If we dealt with that, the other reasons would pretty much go away. Except Toronto would still think it's the center of the universe. There's no fix for that. We don't build enough houses. And we haven't for a few decades now so the problem...

Could we consider some sort of wall or the like? It worked for the chinese and for hadrian, for a while at least. IF we give it a french name they might even think it was their idea - like Mur de Poutine or Les Anglais sont de la merde Barrière

Ahhhhh - the story you tagged in your reply was the carbon tax one. ;) Sorry for the confusion. I do agreee that Virtually all of the studies for the 'gender wage gap' have been disproven, there's craptonnes of info on that.

Are we talking about the same thing? I thought you were referencing the article that quebec pays lower carbon tax than the other provinces - did i screw that up?

Are you sure? I find dozens of similar articles saying they'll pay less but i can't find any refuting that. I haven't really been following it so i'm definitely not saying you're wrong but it SOUNDS like quebec will be paying less. Where did you see that it was disinformation?

It's still a thing, and the gov't isn't going to win any votes going down that route. It should be left up to the departments to figure out what works for them. In many ways making people go in 2 days a week is kind of the worst of all worlds as far as productivity goes. But for some jobs it...

But it isn't removed, it just becomes less apperent. But you would still have ontario and quebec deciding who was in power and therefore what the priorities were. Except now you can't even get your local rep to listen to you because he doesn't care, he just cares about what canada as a whole...

Meh - he can just merge 'em later. Basically they're the same these days anyway

That works too :) Dishonorable discharge so to speak
