Do.. NA.. tons.. And grants. I literally just said that and it's not the first time i have. It's website says that. Seriously Petros - you don't even take the time to read the stuff you're quoting from OR the replies and then you're startled when nobody takes you seriously or thinks much of...

Sadly with the NDP abdicating their role as an opposition party and propping up the Libs, this is really the only option available right now. And no, it's not rosy. A recession on the back of a year and change of stagflation. Probably followed by a little more stagflation and a slow, flat...

Trudeau is going to get eaten alive by this guy.

"Canadians don't want a gov't to run their lives! They want a gov't that can run a passport office! -PP And it's true. Smaller more efficient gov't that gets the job done and leaves tax money in the hands of the people is always popular during less than stellar times.

I... i don't even know what to say to that..... a growing thing is forced into growing. Kay. In any case Covenant health is not forced into growing. Nor are they doing so from some sort of 'surplus' money they 'make'. They get government funding, grants and donations. They don't 'make a...

Anything CAN change but in this case it's probably unlikely. First off, the negative situation canada is in won't dramatically change. Inflation is likely to remain above target throughout 2023 and we're likely to dip into a recession there. Interest rates will remain higher than they were...

Sigh. Catholic agencies don't make 'profits'. What, you think the bishops get a cut of the action based on 'shares' or something? They are literally a not-for-profit organizaiton. And it's right there in your own quote - "a separate board within AHS" Within the Alberta Health Services. The...

No, no they are not. The facilities are but the actual hospital falls under gov't control. They can't sell to the public.

Well the catholics and oddfellows and such are kind of a different class than 'private' but still - they're gov't controlled facilities that are owned by an independent, but they're not independent hospitals.

Wow. :ROFLMAO: True tho. He's got to immediately address that and get out there and get known by as many people as he possibly can. More tours, more and bigger rallies, he excels at that face-to-face interaction stuff. And if he can do that faster and better than the libs and the media can...

He's scooping the youth and immigrants so far - but i believe that's largely because they are more likely to pay attention to social media than the more elderly by and large. I think the elderly aren't as likely to be watching his stuff on youtube. I would suspect that now that he has the power...

It's always the concern. You often see people who would make excellent leaders, but can't campaign their way out of a paper bag so they never get elected. And you often see people who can charm the electorate's socks off but go on to make terrible leaders. It's a rare individual who can do...

It has often been said that there are two type of NDP. The first type is the blue collar worker support type, and the second type is the woke social justice warrior type. Layton would have been example of the first, but other than him the federal NDP have been almost entirely driven by the...

You need a logical argument.

They'll be hoping there's a minority and that the other parties will force him to keep funding them. And they're going to do everything they can to weaken him to try to get that outcome, without being so obvious that the public turns on them or says PP has a point. It's not like they've been...

Well it's quite common here in canada, and there's nothing wrong with it inherently. But trump DID kind of make a big deal about how he spent his own money to do it and therefore wasn't beholden to anyone else (unlike clinton who'd have to pay back donations in 'favours' presumably), so if you...

Well i think it's pretty much the same everywhere - with regards to this specific problem it's not so much a 'reserve' problem as it is a 'small community of any type' problem. In rurral manitoba where my family was from (and where i spent a lot of time) the cops were based a good 45 min drive...

And i see the CBC soft-hit peices start. They're already trying to suggest he's a more radical right wing Conservative and that conservatives have abandoned 'moderate' politics. Pierre Poilievre and the anti-elite populism that won the day...

Honestly i'm shocked it took this long. The infighting there has been brutal and relentless, the greens are literally eating themselves from the inside. I am seriously doubting if even Lizzie herself should she win can put that mess back together again.

Why in god's name would you encourage him :)
