For the record, supervised consumption sites aren't the solution to drug abuse. They're the solution to people dying of drug poisonings before they can get help with their addictions.

What causes drug addiction? Hopelessness. Homelessness. Mental illness. Abuse.

What's the government doing to solve those problems? Sweet. Fuck. All.

This is what conservative governments bring you -- cruelty and making existing problems worse.

So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold

It's a crown corp. "We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing." is the order of the day.

If you can't negotiate and come to an agreement with your union, and ask the government to intervene, the government should impose conditions that are better than what the union is asking for.

I mean, they won't do it... Even though CN made $5B last year, and $4B the year before that, then turned around and spent most of it on stock buy-backs to inflate their share price, making insiders an insane amount of money...

Yeah, my buddy was under microFIT - he missed the deadline for 80c/kWh, but got into the program that pays him 40c/kWh.

Works in Ontario. A friend of mine generates 2x to 4x more power than he uses. He had a 10k kW solar roof put in, it faces south, and the pitch of his roof was actually optimized for power output in the winter. His heat is propane, which isn't optimal from an environmental aspect, but it's modern and otherwise power-efficient.

Hateful troll it is. Welcome to my blocklist.

Want me to play you the voicemail she left me where she disowned me? Or should I just forward you the eMails where she told me I was a fool who would be dead soon from the COVID vaccine? Or should I tell you about all the crazy and insane bullshit she insisted was fact before screaming at me and hanging up the phone on me?

Or would that not change your mind because you're simply a hateful troll?

You think you'll be getting more? How do you think the shareholders will get paid? Do you think doctors and nurses will cost less in the private system? Will private companies negotiate with pharma to lower drug prices, or just add 20% on top?

I suspect you haven't thought this through, and are letting your anger lead you to the wrong conclusion. Maybe you could try voting for someone else (and convincing your friends and family to do the same) for the next election.

My mother moved from Ontario to Alberta a few years back because she said it was the "last place in Canada that respects my freedom". I probably don't need to tell you she dove head-first into the barrel of pig shit that is internet conspiracy theories over the course of the pandemic.

She's chronically ill with a leukemia that is successfully managed by medication -- but it requires regular care from experts or she could have a stroke or heart attack. She was also showing signs of dementia before I had to go zero-contact with her. As much as I don't wish her harm... I suspect she won't live long enough to regret her decision for very long.

Yeah, I wonder if they considered at all the consequence of potentially having BOTH CN and CPKS in the position to strike. Or, if they did, and this is what they came up with... Wow. What a fuckup.

Hard to make a comment when your mouth is full with the dicks from the C-suite at CN and CPKS.

And less than 48 hours later... The union serves strike notice. These greedy fucks are going to get what's coming to them.

In the old days, greedy fucks who tried to break the union ended up getting dragged from their homes in the middle of the night and beaten to death on their front lawns, often in front of their families. So, like... That's your history lesson for the day.
