You weren't talking about gun rights in any of these contexts. You were saying Canadians should have more powerful guns so they could shoot ICE agents (or similar potential invaders) that dare cross the border for "National defence", which is LUNATIC logic.

We already have national defence and it's not going to be improved with a bunch of poorly trained, undisciplined, disorganised half wits roaming the countryside making rogue decisions on who gets to live or die between sips of bud light.

Don't move the goal posts to an easily defensible strawman position so you can copy paste right wing gun activist rhetoric.

I have no idea how you're deciding they're all false. I can see that you're deciding to believe that Trump has any decency over victims.... Which I just don't understand. These stories are extremely similar, span many years, and include dozens of victims... What is convincing you that Trump didn't have child sex auctions??

Here is an alternate Canadian News Source https://globalnews.ca/video/11645943/trump-warns-canada-that-china-wont-let-them-play-hockey-anymore/

Although for all I know it's all American owned now.

We don't need a bunch of toothless hillbillies with guns to take matters into their own hands for "National defence". You want to defend the nation part time? Join the reserves. You get to shoot more powerful guns than you're ever allowed at home, and you can ACTUALLY defend Canada.

We also have enough gun rights for everything you need a gun for. You want to hunt or shoot targets? Have at it. All you have to do is prove you can operate a gun safely and you can have as many guns as you want.

You want to shoot a human beings outside of sanctioned war? Thanks for outing yourself as someone who shouldn't have guns.

It's shocking how we put in laws to prevent the surveillance state, but the laws didn't restrict corporations. So now corporations have become the new surveillance state.

No city in North America has ever "removed cops" or even reduced their budget.... I mean I fucking WISH we reduced cops but that's basically a made up fact you just made up.

We never had rotating speed cameras anywhere near where I live. I've seen them in Quebec though.

"the healthy thing I'm doing that my parents didn't do is that I assume every adult who wants to be part of my kids life is a pedophile"

Yes.... Very healthy attitude!... Good job I guess?

What the fuck did I just watch!!!! That was a horrifying animation from a truly deranged mind. You'd better empty the grease trap or I will haunt this grill!!

Camus J'ai pété

 

I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.

It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!

I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.

 

The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line

Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions

So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?

We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.

So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!

If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.

They really think we're idiots.
