The #BCNDP added a 0.54% flat tax increase in BC, with graduated rebates for people under $45k.

A flat tax.

That means people making way over $45k pay a smaller % of their income in this weak, sad, pathetic tax increase.

8 years of "NOT" the […]

Now model seats.

It is now official policy for the USA to ignore the inventions, treaties, agreements and laws that define legal warfare.

This is likely to be part of the evidence that will be used to convict Hegseth of war crimes […]

@chad he’s currently playing for Winnipeg. But that’s the one you need.

Well how about that? BC has finally decided to stop waiting and stay in Daylight Saving Time.

Amazing.

Sports!

Not the most pressing issue in the world, but the teams I love and follow and have a bit invested in are all having bad fortnights. The Canadian men's and women's Olympic teams both lost their gold medal games to the USA in overtime. Tottenham Hotspur has dropped both games of new […]

The free market seized 100,000 houses of people who died to pay for the medical treatment that didn’t prevent their deaths.

@harold an , can I just add, that she correctly points out that some services tha refugees get are not covered for Canadians and its important to note that her take is “take those services away from these people” and not “everyone in Canada deserves these supplemental services.”

So what her […]

@harold at the same time they want them to “integrate”. Ghouls.

@harold you first, MPs

@mattblaze I’m certain the insurance companies would find a way to make “being a Greenlander” a pre-existing condition.

Can we please fucking remember that citizens of Canada are citizens of Canada that can freely move to any province and live there? Just becasue you live in one province or another does not mean you have acquired an additional national citizenship.
