  • ‘This is a big deal’: Health Canada approves 1st drug to slow Alzheimer’s disease - National | Globalnews.ca

  • It only slows the progression of the disease. Aducanumab did not do this in a statistically significant way. This drug does, but both have possible side effects. So, if you have no side effects it makes sense to take it, but with side effects it can be unclear whether it will have a net positive impact on your quality of life.

  • Do mega-sporting events like the World Series pay off? Here’s the economic reality behind them

    Jump

  • I mean, sports don't produce anything. Tourism and entertainment in general is wasting resources. You might get to shift the resources from tourists pockets to yours, but you didn't manufacture anything useful.

  • FYI, this is a drug that followed up the very controversial aducanumab and the risk/benefit margin is pretty thin.

  • Exactly, I have had door to door and it is less secure and unnecessary. I'm fine with having the same level of service as the other 75% of Canadians.

  • The Problem with Fixing Heat Waves in Parc-Ex

    Jump

  • Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I wonder where white rooves fall in terms of gentrification. Seems like it would improve surface albedo without driving up property prices.

  • Carney says new Major Projects Office will help build a “Canadian sovereign cloud” | BetaKit

    Jump

  • This is an important point. We are currently using foreign cloud providers hosting our data. We need to bring that data home.

  • Canada confirms work underway on review of tariffs on Chinese EVs, steel and aluminum

    Jump

  • If we dropped virtually all tariffs on the US, I can't see what the justification could possibly be for keeping them on China

  • 2 more Toronto speed cameras cut down, as Ford urges city to do away with 'tax grab'

  • Yes, he offers alliterative prose. Carbontax Carney, Conflict of interest Carney, Carney can crown kind cats kicking cans

  • How a shift to canola-based biofuel could help make up for lost Chinese market

    Jump

  • You probably forgot about biofuel because it is not a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. You don't get back enough energy relative to what you put in. The only reason it exists is due to government subsidies and mandates.

  • How Spain put up wealth taxes - without chasing away the billionaires

    Jump

  • We should start with an inheritance tax, like the US has, and then look into gift taxes and wealth taxes. And do our best to majorly tax the top 1%.

    The sad thing is that we could not even get the capital gains tax through. That was our most recent opportunity on this front.

  • The Income Gap In Canada Has Reached A Record High

    Jump

  • Anyone have an idea on what policy changes have lead to capital becoming more productive than wages? This is a very troubling situation. Labour drives the economy, not capital.

  • Canada needs its own credit card payment method.

    Jump

  • Yeah, some kind of legislation here would be nice. At least the credit card companies aren't as entrenched as in the states.

  • Canada needs its own credit card payment method.

  • That's one thing to add to the list to boycott the US. Stop using visa and mastercard and use debit instead.

  • And it is orders of magnitude cheaper for retailers than credit cards.
