This guy isn't just hopelessly out of touch – he's dangerously motivated to rob Peter to pay Paul. He's willing to slash budgets and run education, healthcare and more public sectors ragged to pay off the deficit his government amplified, and he doesn't care that by doing this, he's severely destroying the power of Ontario's future economy.
Tell me Dougie, when healthcare workers, education workers, and now workers of all these sectors fed by post-secondary institutions start seeing record vacancies throughout the province, do you care what happens to the rest of us? Because after what we've seen, I bet you don't as long as you get yours.
I'm directly behind them on this – if it's taking place in their land, they should be involved in the permit process and selection committee. It's a reasonable ask, and I hope the courts side with them to set the precedent.
I've seen statements going out from larger Indigenous social media groups urging caution - wouldn't doubt though that the Mohawk or Blackfoot are going to cross regardless, because their families are across that border or for cultural reasons.
100% agree. Cuba deserves aid, and we should be investigating policy and alternatives that we can use to circumvent the resource war on Cuba to help them.
This is always the way it goes, and it's repugnant – once you learn that the perpetrator belongs to a marginalized group, you know that hateful individuals will use it as proof to spread their rhetoric and fan the flames.
It takes away from actual discussion of how we ensure this doesn't happen again, how we best support communities in these times, and how we as a whole can come together to begin healing.
I'm not fully up-to-speed on the pivot to the EV mandate, but wonder if it has to do with economic outlook in the wake of trade scuffles with the U.S.? I do think this is just going to be a test of time to see whether the new strategy for increased EV production and adoption will produce better results than strategies we've been following so far.
It makes sense on paper – we need to make every dollar we have count towards building our economy strong enough to resist American economic pressure, and the spaces highlighted are rational partners to pursue for us. I hope that this does show promising returns not just for us, but our new trade partners as we all work to develop new routes of trade.
Exactly – this is all about competition against the Ambassador bridge, because it'll impact the profits for them. If they wanted to see profits from the Gordie Howe, they could have stood a little taller and not let themselves get lobbied out of it.
Beat the Swiss 4-0 Saturday, and Czechia 5-1 Monday – our women's team looks better than some of our NHL teams out there. It's making me want to start watching the PWHL and pick up a Spectres jersey!
They've somewhat fallen into the same trap Valve did with Half Life 3, and nothing they put up will live up to the nostalgia of Skyrim for many players no matter what, as it'll never recapture the magic many of the fanbase felt when they first played it (at least that's my take). It's been overhyped, and people will have some unrealistic expectations no matter what.
I think sidelining the next installment was a misstep on BGS' part, and now they risk alienating the player base of one of their two largest IPs; don't get me wrong, it'll probably sell incredibly well, but I think there's just no way it'll be as well-received as they would want it to be.
On a more positive note though , I hope that whatever they deliver brings improvements rather than downgrades – I want to see a better magic system taking inspiration from competitors and previous installments, a return to NPC schedules (looking at you Starfield 😒), and hopefully prioritizing world-space content over a large open world map. Even if it's more of the same, as long as the story is fun, the NPCs are well-written, and the systems aren't a pain to engage with, it'll live up to my expectations.
