The reason older condos/townhouses sell is because they were built when there were inspectors actually doing their jobs. Step-daughter moved into a new teeny-tiny condo, and shower door fell off after 4 months. Gaps developing in the “luxury” vinyl plank flooring. Cupboard doors coming off because screws aren’t long enough. They’re garbage homes.
OK, while I support Sara Kishawi’s support of Palistine, I do not support her tactics. This is Canada. We have rules to which you need to adhere. If you don’t want to follow Canada’s rules, oh well.
One incident involved VIU staff wanting to close a rooftop patio on campus. Staff say Kishawi refused to leave and refused to provide her ID.
In the second incident, the university learned Kishawi had accessed the rooftop of a university building, endangering her own safety.
In the third, she was one of more than a dozen students involved in a sit-in, occupying building 255, and disrupting the learning environment. Kishawi recorded the incident.
And the fourth, she entered a restricted area of the library that was left open and wrote a slogan on a wall with a marker and put up some signs, one referencing a worker as racist.
I just can’t wrap my head around why ANYONE would want to be part of the U.S. Especially now. They are ridiculed by the rest of the world. They’re attacking their own citizens. They’re bankrupting their farmers. They’re trying to cut what healthcare they have. Seriously. WTF Albertans?? If you think it’s so great, just move there. Just pack up and fucking move there. And, your grandfathers who fought in WWII are rolling in their graves right now. Traitors!
Poilievre refuses to get security clearance. What is he hiding??? Poilievre refuses to get security clearance. What is he hiding??Poilievre refuses to get security clearance. What is he hiding??? Poilievre refuses to get security clearance. What is he hiding???
Why won't PP get a security clearance?? His excuses are BS. Poilievre’s longstanding explanation for not taking the clearance is to avoid the inevitable gag order that comes with access to top security documents. Well, Carney didn’t have a problem with that. What are you hiding??? PP—just do the security clearance. It should be a requirement for every politician!!!
Not sure about the “gaslighting”. I think that term is misunderstood, and misused. "Gaslighting is the manipulation of someone into questioning their perception of reality. The term derives from the 1944 film Gaslight and became popular in the mid-2010s. Some mental health experts have expressed concern that the term has been used too broadly." The movie is worth a watch if you haven’t seen it: A psychological thriller film directed by George Cukor, starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten and Angela Lansbury in her film debut.
“the inertia of the Italian and EU governments”. There are subtle differences to the definition of inertia, but I think this one is the best in this situation: resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change. The same could be said about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Because that would be money spent NOT helping the wealthy. Because they want to break unions, and more importantly, defund education with the aim of wiping out critical thinking.
"He argues grocers used maple leaves, flags, and tags like “made in Canada” to sell products imported from elsewhere”. While this is blatantly wrong, I have to wonder how many times the products were not just imported from “elsewhere”, but from the USA. I think most Canadians are ok buying and supporting products from anywhere BUT the USA. Obviously we look for Canadian products first, but are happy to support new trade with new countries. I just don’t see why stores would slap false labels on products from anywhere but the USA. And if this is the case, it makes the wrong even worse.
