The reasons why the wealthy like liberalisation matters, though. The reasom the wralthy want more wealth matters.
Money is power. The wealthy are competing to have the most power. Eventually, that turns to taking control of the state. So, the wealthy will back free trade and deregulation right up until they, personally, are in a position to attempt a coup. After that, regulation and trade barriers work for the particular rich folk who have taken control over the state.
Yeah, it happened quite some time ago now. I think the newsroom merger happened with the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, too, but I don't know for sure, so didn't mention it.
I know in Edmonton, at least, the Sun and the Edmonton Journal had their newsrooms merged. They're framed as alternatives, but the Sun has taken over the 'mainstream' option in places.
Are we really getting to the point of attacking OAS now? Seriously? Like, I know everyone loves to hate on the boomers, but most of them didn't strike it rich, many live in homes that are old and not well maintained, have failing bodies, are being squeezed out of labour jobs, etc. Having a tiny, taxable income stream at a time where society is turning against you isn't some crazy benefit.
Yes. It's french for "boredom", but the kind of boredom that's results from life being too easy. It's like being an over-achieving student in a class where the teacher is focused on the kids who are struggling to catch up.
I reallly like Trilian, but if you're looking for something to help your memory, a physical pocket notebook can't be beat. I highly recommend keeping one on hand.
This isn't inherently an issue. I mean, it's the Liberals, so it probably is, but having a minister whose role is to actually sit down and critically learn about the topic, and report back to cabinet would be great.
It'll probably be a role focused on figuring out which specific confidence game to invest in, but it could be so much better than that.
The choice to be on open-source, community-owned social media rather than corporate owned platforms is, itself, a political choice, and one that, in the absence of other focuses for discussion, will attract politically outspoken people. With no other core community here to focus discussion, everything will fall back to the things most people here have in common: FOSS, anti-corporate sentiments, etc., all of which are themselves inherently political topics.
The thing is, companies from thr larger provinces have so many more market protections than those from small ones. They have distribution networks already. Thry have a larger local customer base. They're in positions to just expand and take over.
You're more likely to see companies from Ontario or BC kill products from PEI or Nova Scotia than you are to see them on your shelves. Centralization is just cheaper.
Slowly, auto makers are moving back towards having actual buttons on things. Screens aren't likely to go anywhere, but the age of "everything's just a touch panel" is slowly coming to an end.
The marshmallow experiment is one of those that self-help gurus and LinkedIn 'influencers' love to peddle as being meaningful, in no small part because it tells people who had lucky upbringings that they are inherently better than others, and not just a product of their environment. But when it's actually examined critically, it falls apart.
