Liberals are gonna be done the next election and dumbasses who vote con thinking it’s gonna be better are in for a rude awakening as they shovel money to their big business buddies.

I totally approve of this. Asia is pretty unstable right now with China always “threatening”. I think defense spending in this area sends the right message.

Is it a free vote though or do they get disciplined if they don’t vote the party line?

The government needs to sequester the top union brass and the air Canada CEO himself in a locked room until a deal comes out.

If you want to accelerate the process keep turning the temperature in the room up and limit washroom breaks.

You aren’t really that dense are you?

If you call the mayors office on the phone does every crazy that calls get put right through? Of course not.

They need to hire a social media manger to filter the crazy. The mayor is under no obligation to read their insane ravings.

I dumped twitter/x a couple of years ago. No negative impacts at all. Just not hearing from “those types” anymore.

Edit: and anyone that can’t behave can have their comments removed. We don’t need online amplification for the worst kinds of people.

Don’t know about you but I wouldn’t feel comfortable flying an airline where workers are being beaten-down by the government to do their jobs.

Probably not a safe travel environment.

Let’s make a real bargaining process happen. If the government is forced to intervene, for every day a negotiated contract is not signed, the company CEOs are directly fined 2 % of their total yearly compensation payable in the next tax year.

Low budget propaganda. Maybe made by those trucker fools or their friends? Hick central.

 

So rental advocates are calling for maximum temperatures as well as minimums.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-heat-wave-august-2023-rental-housing-rules-1.6935647

So by this logic if there’s a maximum permissible temperature, if I have AC installed in the rental unit it must run at whatever level is necessary 24/7 to not exceed that maximum temperature at any time, even if it adds hundreds of dollars a month to the renter’s utility bill?

Nobody would want to put someone’s health at risk by letting it get too hot.

Is that really what tenants want? Because I sure wouldn’t have wanted that kind of bill when I was renting, I would’ve just preferred a cheap fan I could turn on or maybe a home brew swamp cooler.

Or are they just clumsily wanting landlords to supply ACs with rental units now, which will drive prices even higher even before electrical upgrades….

Not sure if they want plentiful housing, affordable housing, or nicely outfitted suites.

Renters may pick 1 of the above options only.

I’d guess they’d go for about $150,000 a piece if you built blocks of them. The lower unit is probably cheaper without the rooftop access.

And yes, this is the future of home ownership here, not single detached living.

Got a note back from the IG creator. Rents for about $850 a month and is just north of downtown Tokyo.

 

The Lower Mainland’s last drive-in movie theatre may not be closing after all, as councillors in the Township of Langley are looking at saving the Twilight Drive-In.

Mayor Eric Woodward says he met with the operators of the drive-in, and says he discovered how important it is to the local economy.

 

Looking for some really good instant Chai Tea mix in the lower mainland. I've been going down to Trader Joe's to get their spiced Chai powder, which I really like, but it's sort of expensive and a long way to go.

Any ideas for brands and locations to pick it up that are local? Doesn't need to be super-authentic, just tasty and easy to make without extra perishable ingredients - powdered milk with sugar and spices is totally fine, just want something I can keep in my desk drawer at work instead of feeding Starbucks.
