Kind of suspicious. The primary Canadian suppliers of jet fuel don't get most of their supply from the war zone. Why are their prices doubling?

Two questions:

  1. How is this legal?
  2. Why do Ontario voters keep this guy in office?

Alberta is batshit crazy, Saskatchewan is apparently full of assholes, and Ontario seems to want this. There arw not a lot of decent places left to live on this continent.

Does anyone know if algorithmic pricing tools are being used by Winnipeg landlords? I have heard real estate agents have been known in Winnipeg to buy up inventory to force scarcity and raise prices, but I don't know about the rental market.

They don't. It's the modern variant of ad hominem, ad artificial hominem. They don't have to engage with the ideas, and can potentially sidetrack all discussion with low investment of energy.

Even better, no schooling allowed at all, not even privately funded. Don't let them get even a basic ticket to participate in general professional society. We certainly don't need rich morons paying for their unvaccinated kids to get educated.

How does that make my statement incorrect?

Serving in a foreign military involves swearing loyalty to that foreign country. What happens when that country attacks ours?

If one wanted to find work as a mercenary providing military skills on contract, that could be a different issue. But that's not what you're proposing.

I am starting to think it's time for Canadians to start a campaign of assassinations. It's not like we'd turn up on the suspect list for a while.

Do they discuss persistent threats from regimes lile the US, and international megacorporations?

I don't use windows that much anymore, but couldn't you make it a read-only file?
