They didn’t put new money into the purchase, they rolled their pre-existing shares over. Dorsey did the same FYI.

Y’all are giving this idiot waaaay too much credit when it comes to scheming behind the scenes. It was a really poorly thought out pump and dump, nothing more. There’s no big evil master plan; he’s just really that stupid, and rich enough to constantly fail upwards. With Xitter we’re just seeing his xitty ideas in their purest form, without the influence of the handlers he has to manage his bullxit at his other companies.

Although I have to say, the accidental brilliance of going with branding that’s so phonologically flexible is pretty fantastic, the jokes can write themselves now. But I doubt advertisers are going to appreciate the fact that their interactions on Xitter are colloquially becoming known as xcrements now…

I think it’s more along the lines of the “it’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for 'em” sentiment

Brazeau is an interesting example, because he has engaged in some advocacy for vulnerable populations in recent years (e.g. warning labels on alcohol, pushing for research on male suicide). Does not absolve him at all of his past shenanigans, but I’d say he’s not lock-in-step the same as Duffy or Beyak and that ilk. Seems like he’s learned a little bit about what public office should be about.

This asshole, on the other hand… Senators should absolutely face sanctions, at the very least, for supporting seditious fuckwads and saying their voice matters over the everyday citizens that make up most of the population of Ottawa.

The Lufa model needs to spread across the country. They have a handful of urban greenhouses in Montreal, so a lot of the produce I buy is actually grown in the city, and everything else that they can’t grow themselves is procured directly from the producers/farms, not from a re-seller.

(although, fuck their labour practices, I very much wish they had competition in the city so they would be pressured to clean up their act in that regard, I hate that I feel like I have to compromise my values in some way in order to buy local and direct)

I mean, have you reached out to your local farms/CSA groups to inquire about delivery and encourage them to establish something like that? The pandemic definitely pushed a lot of groups to incorporate that into their model, if you haven’t checked recently you might be surprised. I mean, even if it’s just to demonstrate interest for a pick up point in your area or ask if they’re affiliated with a local supplier who does deliver, it never hurts to reach out

but no, no greedflation here

REITS need to be banned. People owning multiple homes should face a heavy tax that only increases with each property you hoard. Fuck this noise.

Wait, you guys are gonna be able to retire? /s

It’s been pretty obvious to me most of my adult life that people like myself will always only ever struggle to make ends meet and will never have the luxury of not working (I’m mid 30s now). Honestly, that’s the only rather perverse upside to our current state of greedflation, that sense of “hey, it’s not just me anymore, it’s everyone”. Plenty of people out there feel like people in poverty deserve it somehow, and aren’t shy in expressing that, so watching them struggle to be poor has been… an experience of awful validation, I guess is how I would describe it. But to the point, the work I do now I’ll be able to do when I’m elderly and/or ill too, it’s not physically taxing at all, so that’s my old age plan lol.

Rabble rabble this delay with my passport is unacceptable!! /s

I think BC and QC have concetrated communities of anti-science individuals, which makes the ignorance seem more prevalent than it actually is. Then again, the number of people I know who recognize naturopathy is bullshit but then routinely see a chiropractor is WAY too high

If you’re sorting by Active, and someone recently commented, that would bump it to the top

It’s different tax years. The amount is based on the Jan '23 GST credit you received, but whether you actually qualify is determined by your 2021 filings, so there are a few weird cases where you would get one but not the other.

It’s based on your 2021 income, I believe, did you file for that year? Media has also been using the term “roll out” in articles which to me implies possible delays (CRA advises you wait 10 days before following up), did you check your CRA account to see if it’s listed under your credits?

NO. Holy fucking shit, no. I just looked it up, oh boy my MP is getting a strongly worded email tonight. Fuck that noise

You are the very last thing from ally. Wading through the transphobia all over your post history, you’ve clearly stated you don’t even believe in gender affirming care. If you’re constantly being told that you’re alt-right when you believe you’re not, as you claim in another comment, or need to complain how everyone calls you a bigot when you express these opinions, maybe you need to reflect a little bit more on the beliefs you’re trying to push on others. Because let’s be very clear here, you’re saying it’s unacceptable and too extreme to accept trans people for who they are. That queer people existing openly is “an invasive culture”. You’re seeking compromise over someone being able to freely be themselves, safely and without fear. Nah, bigot, YOU can be the one to compromise, and shush. Anyone pushing opinions that break the treaty of tolerance doesn’t deserve respect or consideration.

You got me thinking- I don’t think I’ve watched a new TV show in at least a year, there’s so many old favourites to binge through out there. I’m currently rewatching The X-Files.
