also used to put pylons out on our street corner that drivers would take too fast - so it just shrunk down the road and forced them to slow down - these were simple, small but effective traffic calming anyone could do, especially when you've had enough of the city doin nothing.

If Mark Carney's resource extraction projects are so profitable, they should be nationalized so that we can 1) keep all those juicy profits to spend on things we need and 2) pay the cleanup costs out of the profits too, and 3) have control for to manage pollution properly.

Mark Carney ramping up polluting resource extraction as "nation-building" is

What's Carney doing that's different from what Harper did? It's not about whether Harper was/is/isn't a red tory, that's a derail. Carney's policies are in line with the actions Harper himself took as PM. Don't forget that Harper *asked* Carney to join his cabinet. You think that was a coincidence?

I think that individual people should not pay income tax. Instead, corporations should be responsible for paying tax on salaries they pay (as well as income they receive).
Imagine a company with 100 employees, each doing their own taxes, vs the company submitting 1 tax return for itself.

The thing is we've known that housing the homeless is cheaper than neglect, we've known that Ubi is effective at eliminating poverty, we've known that heavily subsidized housing and education leads people into the middle class, we've known all of these things in some cases for 70 years.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

There’s a (verified) horrific video of the Israeli army executing two unarmed men and then desecrating their bodies with a bulldozer making the rounds. I’m not going to share it but I will make reference to it to emphasise that there is no ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank or Lebanon.
