To the liberals: tax wealth, not work.

Once… I actually can’t come up with a scenario in which they would :/

TIL Canada has less sick days than Oman and Pakistan. What the fuck?

I think the EU and newspapers should focus on the realistic and useful e.g kicking Hungary out of the EU, strengthening EU bonds, making life across the EU as pleasant as possible, and rooting out anti-democrats.

Canada in the EU, while a nice thought experiment, is a detraction from much more important topics. If Canada had a free trade agreement with EU and free movement of its citizens, that would be an amazing start. Wouldn’t mind being able to just move to Canada and find a job there without having to pay thousands for a VISA first.

Edit:

Finally, green-lighting Canada’s EU membership could frustrate some countries, such as Turkey, which have been queueing up for, literally, decades.

Lol, Turkey has a quasi-dicatator at the helm. They’d need fair and free elections first. Even if Canada hypothetically joined the EU, who cares what Turkey thinks? If they can’t and won’t fulfil conditions for joining, too bad for them.

I’d like to live under that rock you call home.

There must be a reason why there aren’t enough Canadian doctors. If that isn’t resolved, getting more doctors and medical staff from the US is just going to be a stop-gap solution. It might actually convince politicians that “nothing is wrong” and reduce or eliminate their willingness to fix the existing problems.

Could somebody explain why Canada has a doctor’s shortage? And maybe also how they imagine it should be addressed?

Someone should tell the /r/canada mods to promote lemmy. Reddit is just a propaganda platform for the rich.

Snickers is a US brand…

Europe could also send over our USA-lovers to MAGA-land. I like the way you think.

It’s their “god given right”, didn’t you know?

The first link you posted is the same as I posted and doesn’t reveal the percentage of 3+ home owners. Additionally, the second link you posted reveals that Vancouver has 53.6% of multiple home owners and Toronto 43.0%. If you have 3+ homes out in the sticks, its way less aggravating to the rest of the population that if you have it in a densely populated city.

The data show that nearly half of multiple-property owners who lived in the Vancouver CSD (44.8%), Surrey CSD (45.8%), Richmond CSD (44.2%) and Toronto CSD (46.8%) also owned properties within the same CSD.

Do you really think such a measure wouldn’t be important in such cities? The rich and wealthy thank you for your service as their defender. They definitely need it.

Show me the numbers. I only found numbers on multiple home owners, but not how many homes they have.

• Landlord Nation: Over 1 In 6 Canadian Homeowners Own Multiple Properties : Multiple property owners held more than a third of Nova Scotia’s housing stock (40.9%).
• Single and multiple residential property owners: Demographic data and value of properties owned

Also, I wasn’t saying it should be the only measure. Nowhere did I say that.

Force the rich to sell their multiple houses too. Tax their wealth and they won’t have a choice. 3rd homes should get taxed at 10% of their value or more. Let’s stop kidding around. That’ll force them to divest fast as fuck.

It would another Vietnam or Afghanistan. They’d invade, kill a few thousand maybe million people, mire around, and then retreat again with their funds drained and thousands of crippled veterans with PTSD.

Busy consooooming

My first thought: who owns the newspaper? Is it some US hedgefund?

Uplifting news even.

Social media platforms? Try US digital services and systems. If the U.S decided to invade Canada today, couldn’t they just tell Microsoft, Apple, Google and other companies to shut down the entire country?

Share the emails, bud! Did you CC them or send an email per person?

I’m not from LATM, but same. I’ve been telling people for years that the US is not a net positive force in the world and people hold up whatever gadget they have and go “but they made this”. Yeah, on the backs of a bunch of poor people that you’ll never see nor care about, but because they’re not white, it doesn’t matter to you.
