Damn, can't imagine sending over the funds for a house purchase and the lawyers taking it - who would be the ones on the hook there? Do the buyers still keep the house, or are the sellers still in ownership?
I don't even know how they can make this right - hopefully its covered under malpractice insurance, but what a nightmare for their clients.
As a teenager, Poilievre had a job at Telus doing corporate collections by calling businesses.[16] He also later worked briefly as a journalist for Alberta Report, a conservative weekly magazine.[17]
Neither of these are hourly jobs.
In 2003, Poilievre founded a company called 3D Contact Inc. with business partner Jonathan Denis,[29] who became an Alberta Cabinet minister years later. Their company focused on providing political communications, polling and research services.[30] After founding the company, Poilievre ran for MP as a member of the Conservative Party of Canada, which had recently been formed from a merger the Canadian Alliance and Progressive Conservatives.
This wouldn't be an hourly job either. The links to the source for him starting this company don't list Poilievre as a director, or any other sign that he actually started this company, or what his role at it was. I've tried searching but can't find anything else that verifies this.
Disappointing they've been sent to arbitration. Just a good reminder that the Liberals are not the party for unions/workers.
Glad the government refused to arbitrate at this point, and glad rail workers were deemed non-essential by the CIRB, meaning they can strike.
CN has been pulling in crazy profits, and is greedy and doesn't want to share. They posted a net income increase of ~500mil last year.
I feel like the rest of the sentence is important for those skimming for the important bits -
together made 52.6 per cent of all corporate capital gains reported in Canada between 2018 and 2022.
That's a stupidly large percentage of the capital gains reported. The argument that capital gains tax stifles innovate is argued against in the report as well
The report also finds there's no historical correlation between capital gains taxes and business investment in machinery, equipment and intellectual property.
Fair enough, but if they wind up misusing the power it won't be long before someone makes a big stink and brings it to the human rights tribunal claiming they violate due process, and then it will be up to the courts to decide. I'd be surprised if it did, since historically our committees and groups like this tend to do less, rather than more, but it may happen.
It won't punish 'free thinkers' but it will punish those who have used online spaces as a free space to incite hatred, as it has been defined in Supreme Court hearings, which involves it being hatred targeted towards "any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or mental or physical disability." Based on this definition, it cannot be used against those who hate Trudeau/make jokes about him for things he has or has not done, as he is not distinguished by colour, race, religion, etc.
I would also point out that we already have " public encitment of hatred" as a law, and Canada has set bars or things that something must meet in order to classify. Adding the same crime to online places shouldn't be that wild.
"Party of the people" guys, I promise
I think the bigger concern is that if there are other foreign influenced MPs who aren't listed in the report, then they and the country influencing them realize that CSIS/Canada doesn't know about them. Keeping it vague and uncertain makes it more likely that those people will be concerned and may reduce their interference to avoid detection.
Likewise, revealing which MPs are known to be influenced may reveal moles or informants that Canada has, thus curtailing future efforts at limiting foreign interference.
And a bipartisan committee created by the liberals at that.
This is so wildly inappropriate that it makes me wonder which of the liberal party were involved. It must have been senior members for them to close ranks like this.
If you happen to remember or find that article I'd be very interested in reading it!
Guy you were responding to wasn't entirely accurate with what the article says, but general idea is there. If the partial liver fails, then they immediately get added to the full liver list, which is why they need to meet the full liver list requirements. Based on how end-stage she was, it sounds like its less likely the partial would be successful.
