Yeah, let's bring back lead in gas. And asbestos. And raising radiation exposure limits. And measles. Smallpox. In fact, let's roll back all progress we've ever made to improve human health. Let's get those 10 year olds back into the coal mines and smoking unfiltered cigarettes.

Remember everyone: POLLS ARE VOTER MANIPULATION. Polls like this demoralize voters, making them think that the election has already been decided. They pulled the same bullshit in Ontario during Ford's second election -- if "Did not vote" was a political party, it would have taken 80+% of seats in the Ontario Legislature. Instead, less than 17% of eligible voters gave him a 66% majority. Total bullshit.
Spread the word.
"We investigated ourselves, and found nothing."

Anyone else think it's weird that the source is the Winnipeg Free Press, and not a Quebec-based paper?
Better than that, once you get to your destination, you can find it when you get within 30m... I found out that our bags were sent to a different carousel, and then taken off the belt and into the area behind us on one trip this spring.
Airlines can't be trusted to get their shit together, and having an AirTag / Tile is even better...
Going to need a source on the AirTag ban... I used them six times in the last 18 months, no problems, and I had the peace-of-mind that my bag had made it onto the plane.
As much as these people are annoying and ignorant assholes, they're also victims of fraudsters who pretend to know the secrets of living an easier life through secret magical knowledge of "the law". They sell this bullshit in seminars where people are paying $500 to $1000 a seat.
I've always said that... Canadians are HUGE CO2 emitters, simply because of our geography and climate. We need to put in place a carbon tax that is low, but applies to damn near everything. People who consume more pay more. Invest the tax revenue in things that minimize CO2 emissions - public transit, home efficiency retrofits, subsidized higher standards for building codes, etc. Every year the carbon tax goes up, and every year the benefits get expanded.
I'm not a fucking genius, why can't anyone else do this?
You boost ownership by making it infeasible to be a landlord... You tax the fuck out of residential property ownership that is not your primary residence. If you own a home you don't live in, 1% tax on the total value of the home, every year... And that tax rate increases at 2x the rate of inflation, every year. Within a decade or two, the housing market gets fixed as each individual owner determines that their 'income property' isn't profitable anymore.
Sounds about right. My partner participated in first aid training for rescues - including overturned cars, etc. The organizers advised local police, fire, and ambulance three times a week before, the day before, and the day of. We still had cops show up because someone called the provincial police. Doh. Add another set of calls to the list.
You don't have to increase it 10 fold, that just creates an overnight black market.
Banning sales to people born after a specific date is just as good a solution as any. If you want go full retar-, er, libertarian on it, let people grow their own, but forbid sales/distribution.
There is no upside to cigarettes -- it's the leading cause of lung cancer and a dozen other diseases that cost our health care system billions in each province, every year. The only people who will complain will be the companies who make billions in profit from human addiction, misery, and death.
