Just to put that into perspective, we give the CBC more than we give Canada Post, VIA Rail, Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Canadian Museum of Nature ,Canadian Transportation Agency, Department for Women and Gender Equality, Library and Archives of Canada, National Film Board, National Museum of Science and Technology, COMBINED.
What kind of Gish Gallop-ass argument is this? Random museums, a rail operator, various crown corps?
I think it’s a safe bet that most Canadians consider CBC primarily a news organization. Either way, comparing their budget to organizations that can bill customers directly, like Parks Canada or Canada Post, is incredibly dishonest.
A Vancouver woman is asking for the courts to make an example of her neighbour, a practising lawyer she alleges has filed a baseless pseudolegal lawsuit against her in an attempt to “provoke a state of fear.”
And so it begins. If mortgage rates don’t drop within the next year or two before too many people’s renewals come up, it’s going to be a bloodbath. There are probably a lot of people with upside-down loans caused by inflated car prices too.
Thanks for the explanation! That sounds incredibly exploitable. At least A/R has to be tied to actual billings, rather than pulled out of thin air ex ante.
The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it's time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.
The problem with this is that we’ll have to suffer through the tenure of a smarmy little rat who could do irreparable damage to our country, but you’re probably right that this is what the Liberals are planning.
The procurement department has stated that Boeing's off-the-shelf reconnaissance plane is the only one available that meets Royal Canadian Air Force requirements.
Buying P-8s makes a lot of sense - they’re already operated by many other countries and are new enough to have a long life ahead of them but have been around enough to be a proven platform.
Pretty much. I’m not a big fan of Boeing, especially after ruining McDonnell-Douglas, but the P-8 seems like a genuinely good plane, and other operators seem happy with it. Plus I can’t imagine how much of a shitshow it would have been if we’d given this to Bombardier (C-series, anyone?)
More than 1,200 vehicles have been stolen in Ottawa this year, a 16 per cent jump from the year before, with new model SUVs and light trucks the most popular targets. New model Toyota Rav4 , Honda CRV, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford F-Series trucks are especially popular, along with any vehicle with a push-button starter....
Embedded systems in general are absolute shit – the laziest, most half-assed implementations one can imagine – whether it’s in cars or appliances or whatever else. I’m not sure what the solution is, short of forcing them to adhere to a set of best practices.
I don’t mind paying MPs/MLAs well. For one thing, they are nowhere near the top 0.01% in terms of income (they aren’t even in the top 1%) and the position’s salary should not be a deterrent to qualified candidates. Taken in the context of overall government spending, their salaries are minuscule. I’d gladly pay them all a million dollars a year if they actually did a good job.
Basically, yeah - not the “muh CEO is so smart they deserve $200M/yr” territory, but at least enough that no one would balk at the job because of of the pay. The Quebec MNA salary (after the raise!) is $131k, which is more than the average Canadian but not that much if looking at people who have reached the high echelons of business or industry.
Edit: for reference the 1% in Canada is $254k annually
Then why is it not applicable to nurses, or teachers or any jobs that have the government as an employer?
Relaxe mon chum… I don’t think anyone here has said that. Nurses and teachers should be paid well too (although I think working conditions are the bigger problem in their case rather than pay)
