He may have a large value on paper, but I don't think he actually has access to most of it anymore. He's been removed from every single important role in any of the companies he owns.

and is currently a visiting professor living in Japan at the moment if I recall correctly.

Because most of the Hamas leadership isn't in gaza. They're protected in other countries that are funding and arming Hamas.

The Republicans have been caught entirely funding the green party in multiple swing states.

They absolutely use their money to sabotage the democrats

Capitalism is fine, we just need to tweak regulations for it to better incentivize the result we (humanity) are looking for.

It really doesn't hurt to keep asking. Nobody that matters is going to be offended by it. Eventually someone will tell you, but just be aware that different people may have different reasons so don't assume feedback from one employer applies to all employers.

Effectively yes. Unless a city can prove it has enough shelter spots for everyone public camping in parks is legal. This was according to the supreme court of Canada.

The city has some control over which parks, but if they try to block them all or make the restrictions unreasonable then they will challenged in court.

Fact is countries continued supporting Israel, knowing what was happening. They're clearly getting something out of the situation if they're willing to defy voters to keep funding it.

The geopolitical situation that civilians never really get to see is the most likely cause.

It's not like Canada's liberal government is just sitting there going, "man I love it when allies kill civilians, we should keep sending them money despite it costing us votes in the election"

 

Uber's reply to the new laws.

 

Surprise surprise, a Conservative who's got a past full of hate.

 

This is the true Canada, open to all ideas. Let's keep it this way.

 

Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.

 

Extremely unfortunate situation.

 

Intent to injure?

Based on that call, any sort of pushing or shoving should be called.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to elected in a couple years. I just hope people remember after a term of the Conservatives cutting important environmental policies like the carbon tax, that they will have failed to make like more affordable AND fucked up the environment more.

The conservative parties that won in the UK didn't manage to make things more affordable, the conservative party that won in Australia didn't manage it either, no party anywhere has managed it.

This crisis isn't caused by local government zoning policies, approval red tape, or anything else that the parties are talking about. It's caused by landowners (including people who own only one property) using a home as an investment.

You cannot have homes appreciate in value faster than inflation (investments) and also have affordable housing. It's impossible. That's literally just a pyramid scheme.

Until the government starts implementing policies that start reducing existing home prices, this will not be fixed. Building more units doesn't do this unless you build impossibly (literally impossible) large numbers.

So stop voting with your emotions and vote with your brain.

 

In case anyone was wondering what happened at the grocery stores over the last couple days.
