lautan , to Canada in ‘Save the Children Convoy’ Finally Ends, Leaving Farmer With Piles of Garbage, Rancid Food and Unpaid Bills

How is this getting upvoted? Totally ridiculous statement.

lautan OP , to Canada in Loblaws boycott: Costco and Walmart are Canadians’ top low-cost grocery store alternatives

Walmart sells Classico pasta sauce for $2.97 in my area or 4/$10. Or I could go to zerhs and buy 1 for $7.99..

Ridiculous markup.

If you need to have a home to afford to retire;

How do we expect this to play out?

lautan OP , to Canada in Refugee board orders deportation for trucker in horrific Humboldt Broncos crash

I think the argument is to deter other immigrants from committing such crimes.

lautan OP , to Canada in Canada Post was wrong to suspend unvaccinated remote workers during COVID, arbitrator rules

lautan OP , to Canada in Why No One Wants to Live in Canada

I don't like the title but I thought it made some decent points for discussion.

lautan OP , to Canada in Durham police say high-risk violent offender released into community poses 'significant risk'

Here's an article about the same guy getting released in 2014: https://www.thespec.com/news/stoney-creek-residents-fight-relocation-of-sex-offender-keith-theodore-constantin/article_589b5b81-454f-5beb-91be-2950d52dccd9.html

Here's another article about him getting arrested again shortly after that: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/headlines/convicted-sex-offender-keith-constantin-arrested-again-1.2726024

Here's another article about him getting released again a year later: https://www.yorkregion.com/news/schomberg-residents-on-edge-over-release-of-high-risk-offender/article_37eaeef3-e3ec-5110-bc53-706b6970e66c.html

Obviously he got arrested again at least once at some point because here we are talking about him getting released again.

Also from that 2nd article: "He was also convicted in 2000 of sexually assaulting a young boy and of sexually assaulting a 45-year-old blind woman in separate incidents." So this goes back even father than I what I can find just on google. Serial rapist catch-and-release for over two decades. Canada's legal system is a joke.

lautan OP , to Canada in Small grocers, co-ops receiving boost from Loblaw boycott: ‘A lot of anger’ | Globalnews.ca

I really hope this is the start of a massive increase in pressure on the rich, government and those who rip us off on the daily. We're notoriously bad at voting with our wallets and protesting but practice makes perfect.

It's very obvious those in power and those with wealth have had a super easy and uncontested time (much of that they engineered for themselves and we let it happen) so when faced with pushback, they feel very uncomfortable.

Let's keep it up and shed our nice nature. We need to make a stink at every turn. Culture wars and social issues are absolutely important but this is about our money and our daily lives, we have to learn how to get serious about this before even more is taken away.

Anything to do with controlling the internet I fear is the start of real censorship. A new "occupy wall/Bay Street" that actually has teeth this time is a legit threat.

lautan OP , to Canada in Galen Weston calls Loblaw boycott 'misguided criticism', says grocer not responsible for higher prices
