Man, nice to see solidarity in action. It’s a rare thing in North America.

100% agree. The quality of Canadian news is at an all time low, and now we get to talk about the hat worn by wife of the orange Mussolini.

I don't have cable, but when I went to my father's house he had it on whatever the CTV new channel is, and the coverage was just as dreadful.

Good on these carriers, and good on CUPW for vigorously representing their members.

Yeah, you never see the Cons trying that sort of thing! Disgusting libs using what a politician actually says and does against them - presposterous!

Complete and utter garbage. The police in Canada are truly a place where the corrupt and incompetent go to prosper. I live a hop skip and a jump from where this incident occurred.

Shit I've been through where charges weren't brought. A person in Barrie (while I was stopped there to charge the car) pulled a knife on me and said he cut me. A person in the town here via SMS said they would fuck me up. As a child, the father of the kid who stole my brother's backpack threw a rock the size of a golf ball at me and hit me in the leg (the cop who investigated I learned was a friend of the child abuser and played in the same hockey league with him).

Please tell me someone is organizing a protest of some sort at this OPP office. Maybe we can organize a water toy amnesty program at this office.

That really sucks. My heart goes out to you. I can't give any advice, I think others in here are more qualified for that.

I think this reply may be a part of the problem with this debate. It assumes that the participants in the program are agricultural workers. This is traditionally true, but under the current program agriculture workers only represent 60%.

An estimated 15% work in food service, with another 10% in the broader hospitality sector. 5-10% work in construction.

It’s really sad that we had to learn of the breach from haveibeenpwned and not from FairVote Canada themselves.

Really bad form on their part.

I think it could be considered cruel and unusual to force asylum seekers to live in Kanata.

Dexedrine got me through university, though with some issues.

Obviously, like all the big stimulants, sleep can be an issue.

Exercise was a problem - the revving of the cardiovascular system by the drug was heightened during exercise and not a nice feeling at all.

Your body builds up a tolerance to it, so regular ‘vacations’ from it may be needed to counter that.

It was 20 years ago when I took it, and was covered by a drug plan that only had a $0.35 payment at the pharmacy, so don’t know about the costs. It’s a really old drug, dating back to the late 1800s, so it seems like it shouldn’t be that expensive, but then I’m not a greedy pharmaceutical company, so what do I know.

With anti-democracy Lucy Watson being made national director, the party will be more and more like the Liberals from a policy standpoint. So I guess voting Liberal just skips the middle man?

If the party actually allowed itself to be ruled by its grassroots, then maybe things would be different, but it is fervently opposed to being accountable to its members - and largely even their own bylaws.
