Why? What do you propose the point of this would be?

I will not be responding to comments.

Then fuck off. Like, actually. We're not here for you to use to meet your emotional needs and not actually contribute.

Okay, but why? The hypothesis that they bought an extremely successful business because they want to make money doesn't need any further explanation. What is the motivation for them to try to export their strict laws to other countries? You act like it gives them so much personal joy at taking away our gay kissing, that's reason enough.

Good for "Canada" (ie the neocolonialist state that exists to facilitate the transfer of wealth from natural resources and the public to private ownership) and, as a regressive tax, bad for the poor. Yep, that's exactly the Canada I know.

They don't have to do more interviews. It takes exactly the same number of press releases to explain themselves regardless of how large the public interest is. It doesn't scale like that unless you are trying to monetize public interest.

Why? Literally why would they give a shit? This only makes sense if you assume that they spent billions of dollars to export religious conservativism outside of Saudi Arabia. I dunno if you've noticed, but Saudi Arabia has been spending trillions of dollars to present a totally different, modern image to the world. The people spending the money don't actually give a shit about Allah. They only care what other people will submit to in Allah's name, and they know that's not going to fly outside their borders.

 

Eglinton Crosstown LRT Science Centre Station Renamed to the Don Valley Station in Toronto. The video discusses the closing of the Ontario Science Centre and how much it would have costed to fix the roof vs. the cost of renaming the Eglinton LRT station from the Science Centre to the Don Valley Station at Don Mills and Eglinton Ave. in North York Toronto.

 

Article contains significant errors. MEC was never owned by its members. If it were, we would have had a say when it was sold, voting on whether to accept the offer, and receiving a share of the payout. MEC was never actually a cooperative. I think there should be consequences for this deception. I also think there need to be more consumer cooperatives than there are. Please mention any you know below.

 

He's 101 years old, a WW2 veteran, and a fascinating interview.

 

Steel bands tighten around my heart. My knees knock and my vision wavers. But then I remember I'm not on Reddit, and metacanada has not yet replaced the moderation team with pod people.

What measures are in place to ensure the continuing security of our moderation team? If it won't compromise them to tell us.
