This is money that should have gone into healthcare to pay doctors and nurses more, to hire more doctors and nurses, to open more spots in medical and nursing schools to train more doctors, or into education to increase teacher pay or the number of teachers or the condition of it schools. How about to pay for bussing so our buses aren't cancelled 1 or 2 days a week because of a lack of drivers willing to drive or kids for poverty wages?

This is a very expensive political stunt. He's throwing you a few bucks so that you will ignore the billions of dollars of graft his government is committing.

It's bullshit.

If every person in Kemptville Ontario signed over their cheque to the local hospital it would be able to buy the CT machine it's been fundraising for, a CT machine the government should be paying for in the first place

I pledge to say fuck you to Doug Ford and his stupid political stunt and to sign poverty my $200 cheque to KDH the day it arrives to help pay for the CT machine my taxes should have already paid for.

Please consider doing the same. Sign over your cheque, your hard earned tax dollars, to a local school or hospital. That's where this money should have gone anyway.

This guy is human garbage. His "supporters" are human garbage. They are shit that a decent society should scrape off the bottom of its boot.

2 months in jail, 3 years probation, 12 month social media ban, a personal protective order, and $1,900 restitution seems light to me.

Pathetic fucking cowards. Big talk but no fucking balls. If you're not willing to repeat what you said to his face then you need to keep your Russian cock sucking hole closed in the first place.

If employees start ignoring their boss’s calls, texts, and emails outside of work hours, an after-hours emergency might have to wait until the next business day, which O’Leary finds unacceptable.

Did this fucking fascist consider hiring more staff and going 24/7? How is it the problem of salaried workers that their boss is too fucking cheap to hire enough people to get the level of support that he wants?

It's interesting, isn't it, that canceling those hundreds of renewable energy projects when he was first elected was estimated to cost Ontario $230 million which is exactly the same amount that canceling the gas fired power plants cost us under Kathleen Wynne. I hope this is remembered as the Doug Ford Renewable Energy Scandal.

He hasn't shifted his position because he now supports green energy. He has shifted his position because renewables are now FAR more affordable than fossil fuel or nuclear. It's purely economic.

Cancelling those projects was an act of pure right wing virtue signalling. The $230 million is only the tip of the iceberg.

What you have to ask yourself is this:

  1. How much money would Ontario families have saved since 2018 if we had had cheaper, cleaner renewable energy on the grid?

  2. How much more is it going to cost to build those projects in 2025 and 2026 than it would have to build them in 2018 and 2019?

  3. How far has this put Ontario behind Europe and Asia where they are all in on renewable energy?

The $230 million act of extremist right wing political theater is going to cost Ontario billions of dollars over the coming years and has put us a decade behind the rest of the world (other than the US, of course.)

And yet they are braying for Trump Lite who is playing directly from the US christofascist playbook of grievance and identity politics while making impossible promises without ever telling us how he plans to deliver. But, he's"not Trudeau" amiright?

Remember that these are the guys who said that they were preparing to fight UN and/or Chinese troops who might invade Canada?

Now their lawyer says that they were used for hunting? Was she taking about the pipe bomb or the handguns?

I don't see a single trigger or cable lock in that photo. Was the ammunition stored in a separate locked container?

These guys should never be allowed to own a firearm again based solely on the UN/China delusion. These types of violent collective fantasies are extremely dangerous and they absolutely should be disqualifying.

This is nothing to worry about. The only schools likely to choose as a result of this problem are ones where Doug Ford's wealthy family, friends, and donors own adjacent properties (like they do at the Ontario Science Center.)

Billions and billions of dollars of graft but buck a beer and lower gas taxes.

This guy is seriously delusional.

Olienick rejects the allegation he would threaten officers, but qualifies it by saying, "unless you guys are shooting at us first."

"But it wouldn't be you guys," he adds. "It would be UN guys or Chinese."

The UN and/or China are going to invade Canada?

Seriously?

"I'm not going to be the first guy who's going to do it. I'm going to be the guy that's going to end it if it happens."

These people watch way to fucking many US made one hero goes on a killing rampage and saves the day movies. Remember Ashli Babbitt? She and her angry mob were going to overthrow the US government and hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi right up until a bullet ripped through her chest and everyone else went, "Holy fuck, they're shooting white people! We're all going to fucking die!" and the insurrection ended with a single shot.

People like this should never, ever, EVER be allowed to own guns. They aren't going to save the country from tyrants. They're going to start some shit because of a delusional collective fever dream and get themselves and likely innocent people killed.

I worked with a woman when I worked for the federal government who was quite unpleasant. She left and went to work for a major contractor. I was on a call with her when several of her people didn't show up for the call. She was raging and asked me where they were. I told her that I had no idea where her people were. She finally had had enough and demanded that I go find them and get them on the call. I said, "I'm not going to find YOUR people on your call with me, THE CLIENT. I don't work for you anymore, Diane." and hung up on her

Those residents of Ottawa were the victims of the tantrumist attack. They should absolutely be allowed to testify.

If you don't want to be tried in Ottawa don't commit crimes in Ottawa. If you do commit crimes in Ottawa your victims should be allowed to testify against you.

We need the ability to tag users on Lemmy so that when we figure out that someone is a tankie or an anti-Canadian propagandist we can tag them so that the next time we see them comment we know they are a bad faith actor and can respond appropriately (and by appropriately I mean not wasting our time trying to have a good faith discussion.)

EDIT:

NegativeYoda said that Sync for Lemmy had the functionality I was looking for so I checked it out.

It does. I was able to (temporarily) highlight NY in red like a banned user and tag him as a tankie. This week makes my lemmy experience much less frustrating. I've ashtray done the same (for real) to several obvious bad actors so I don't get drawn into a discussion with someone who has no intention of participating in his faith

Let's elect the Conservatives so they can cut taxes on the rich, cut services for the poor, neglect our government systems and infrastructure, drive up the deficit and the debt, then blame the Liberals for trying to fix their mess.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Why are people so fucking dumb? The Conservatives do the same thing every time. Then they lie about what the Liberals are doing and people swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

No, it's not. Organs are hard to come by and the courts have long held that organ donation networks can choose recipients based on the highest likelihood of success including vaccination status. She chose to die rather than getting a safe, effective vaccine. It was her right to make that choice but, like every choice we make, that choice had consequences.

She died rather than accepting a free to her, safe, and effective vaccine.

The suit is not about peaceful protest. It does not impact anyone's Section 2 rights.

The suit is about harassment, intimidation, torture, air pollution, racism, sexism, intolerance, shutting down businesses and putting people out of work for weeks, and other criminal activities that are not protected by Section 2.

No one gave a fuck about these idiots and their tantrum until they started committing crimes.

They fucked around and they are now finding out. That's what they always say, isn't it?

They came to Ottawa to commit their crimes they should be tried in Ottawa. Want to be tried in Upper Rubber Boot, Alberskatchetoba? Commit your crimes there.
