    I'm more just talking about his incessant BS over Covid and how he clings to anything to keep it relevant. Trying to incite outrage over something that doesn't affect him is silly IMHO. 

    I'd agree but.......there is always a but...

    But the government and CDC ultramoroons keep bring this shit back to the surface.

    Our own morons keep at it. That twat Tam was back in front of the mics with a mask and preaching vaccines for 6 months olds.

    For fuck sakes..let it die and be treated like the common cold.

    Will this affect you too?

    That is a false argument....ish.

    I used to be a staunch defender of others rights. 

    Abortion, gay marriage,  and almost all others.

    Watching covid insanity and firearms rights get stripped away has hardened my stance.

    There isn't an uprising of support for me so I shouldn't care what else doesn't affect me?

    Not proud of what the Dope is turning me in to.

    That sucks and unfortunately the damage is done by that point. In my town right now there has been an accusation to the high school gym teacher by a former student so we'll see what comes of it.

    In today's day and age, if the teacher is male, an accusation is all it takes.

    I bet Covid emergency measures come back and mass amounts of mail in ballots 

    I'd bet on both being random and light.

    My feeling is average Canadians perhaps learned from past emergency measures and will take them few and far between.

    Mail in ballots have always been available in Canada and are not only a good idea, they are both safe and secure IMO.

    When 1/2 a million people come across the border, they need somewhere to live. Driving up demand drives up costs.

    Supply and demand at work. Few up here want to be landlords,  let alone build purpose build rentals.

    We are letting is a million people a year and struggle to build 200,000 homes.

    Yet the idiots in the cities keep voting for those that make the immigration errors.

    And the cost of 2 bags of chips went from $4 to $10...

    The cost of food has gone way up, even the shitty yet tasty food. $6 a bag at a convenience store now.  The high cost of energy, carbon taxes  and trucking doesn't help

    Hopefully we can reverse some of the current bullshit they have pushed, climate taxes being the first thing to go 

    Very few government programs get reversed.

    All the dope has is virtue signaling and shoveling money to his type of voter so expect more of it.

    His henchwomen have already started the familiar tropes of hidden agenda, reproductive rights and the party is filled with bigots and racists.

    On the bold:  It doesn't have to be just large city companies.  The sad part is, if you are one of those letting work from home affect your productivity, not to worry, someone else will hire you on previous merit.  Seen this happen a few times in the last year with people who have left, as well as new hires that came in and only lasted a few months or a couple weeks in one case.  Pretty sad really.

    If you can work from home, your job can most likely be outsourced to a cheaper place.

    Very true. Technology and automation never stops. Labor is the #1 cost of a company. iPhones will soon be mfg with zero labor as robots begin working on smaller nanometer levels. Saying that worker demands cause this is ridiculous. Every company tries to increase margins regardless of employee demands. 

    100k is a round number for a robot to replace a loading dock worker, similar number for a warehouse picker or packer.

    Not that simple if the work is done by 10 and it’s a multi million dollar pick and pack facility, but as new facilities get built it makes sense especially given the shortage of labour

    There is a new facility, grocery distribution being constructed to replace an older facility.

    The new facility is highly automated, the equivalent of two of the older facility in terms of production.

    The older facility had 3000 people, the new one will have 500.

    Toyota treats workers to a very appreciable benefit package. 

    Even Toyota is fully onboard with automation.

    The cost/benefit means in a year or two the robot has paid for itself.

    Look around, it's happening in many industries.

    I try very hard to avoid self checkout, the food apps etc, but it is becoming more and more difficult.

    2 people at the checkout  and 10 self serve kiosks.

    Do a job a machine can't replace is my only advice.

    If she had a gun and knew how to use it, I'd give her a pass if she put it to the back of that guys head and gave one ping, one ping only...instead she goes in with one hand occupied with her phone.

    How about anything else?

    Attempted murder, 45 years for sure.

    Yes, in Canada as well.

    Many who used to vote Liberal, an actual party in Canada, have seen their hopes and dreams crushed by our current liberal government.

    They want for something different.

     

    It ain’t rocket science.

    Our current government had hopes and dreams, bring in millions of immigrants and all will be well.

    We had a housing crisis before we brought in millions more, 

    We can not build the homes for those that are here already, let alone more.

    It is folly. Yet we continue.
