    Discussion Tax Loopholes and Ethicality

    Personally I do not think there are any ethical tax loopholes because for people who simply can not afford to know by getting financial advisors then it creates a gap in peoples ability to pay tax favouring that of the rich.

    Discussion Are Tax Cuts the Best Way to Stimulate Growth?

    I think that there is a line between tax cuts and just plainly over taxing our communities, I think that everyone agrees in Canada we are over taxing our country and it is causing our population to be close to broke. Now that being said I think that people are having issues with managing money...

    Discussion The NDP have lost their way

    I think what you’re pointing to is less about one specific party and more about a broader shift in how political parties operate. Conventions used to be places where parties refined priorities based on what Canadians were dealing with in real time. Now, they often feel more like spaces where...

    Discussion Zoom link for Bill C-9

    Yeah that is kind of what caught my attention too. It is not just the bill itself, it is how it got to this point. When something reaches a third reading, it means it has already gone pretty far through the process, and a lot of people are only just starting to hear about it now. That timing...

    Discussion Bill C-15 by Kellie Auld

    I think more people also need to understand that the bill is still in the Senate committee stage. That means there is still an opportunity for changes to be made. Public awareness at this point can actually have an impact, but only if people are paying attention and engaging with the process.

    Discussion Should Residents Be Incentivized to Participate?

    That is the same thing that I was thinking.

    Discussion Privacy is Dead and We're Not Mad Enough

    Mistakes are also a big risk. Even limited access could have consequences if authorities misinterpret data. Without judicial review, there’s no independent check to prevent errors that could seriously affect people’s lives.

    Discussion Social Media Algorithms: Are They Controlling Us?

    Maybe it comes down to habit. Being careful about what we click and share might not stop it completely but at least it reduces how much we’re influenced

    Discussion Social Media Algorithms: Are They Controlling Us?

    Sometimes I catch myself agreeing with posts just because I keep seeing them. It’s wild how much influence repeated exposure has

    Discussion Choose Your Career If Money Didn’t Exist

    Same in marketing. I’d focus on projects that actually make a difference, not just chasing KPIs or revenue targets

    Discussion Choose Your Career If Money Didn’t Exist

    I’m in marketing, but if money wasn’t a concern, I’d switch to environmental work or some kind of community projects. Makes more sense to me

    Discussion Fire at Texas oil Refinery Creates Smoke Plume

    At least in this case, no injuries were reported and environmental monitoring started quickly, which is good.

    Discussion Fire at Texas oil Refinery Creates Smoke Plume

    That’s true, but analysts are saying Valero’s stock actually went up because the overall market is tight and prices have been rising due to global tensions

    Discussion Fire at Texas oil Refinery Creates Smoke Plume

    I saw that too. They’ve confirmed no injuries and the shelter‑in‑place was lifted after tests showed the air quality wasn’t dangerous, which is reassuring.

    Discussion Hidden Costs They Don't Tell You About

    I budgeted a bit for surprises but it still didn’t cover everything in the first year.

    Discussion Hidden Costs They Don't Tell You About

    I underestimated property taxes. I thought they were included somewhere but they are a separate expense entirely.

    Discussion House Vs. Condo

    For me, it really depends on family plans. If I want kids soon, I’d probably lean toward a house.

    Discussion Deposition from Former Pfizer Toxocologist

    True, but multiplying reports by 30 and jumping to a massive number is a big assumption

    Discussion Deposition from Former Pfizer Toxocologist

    Yeah but we have to be careful here, one person saying something in a hearing doesn’t automatically make it true

    Discussion Governments doing mind control?

    Yeah instead of accepting that a lot of things are just complicated and messy

    Discussion Governments doing mind control?

    I just think people should take the useful parts, like being aware of influence, without going all in on the extreme claims

    Discussion Pierre Poilievre on the Joe Rogan Podcast

    But you cant deny it works for visibility. Politicians today basically have to play the media game differently
  23. Vieris

    Discussion Pierre Poilievre on the Joe Rogan Podcast

    It matters because of reach. Rogan has a massive audience, even outside Canada. That kind of exposure can shift opinions or at least get people paying attention

    Discussion UNDRIP: land owners loosing their rights

    And better access to information would help keep it from going there in the first place.

    Discussion UNDRIP: land owners loosing their rights

    Again, this is why transparency matters. If people had clearer info, there’d be less speculation.

    Discussion UNDRIP: land owners loosing their rights

    Sure, but completely blocking access creates unnecessary suspicion. That’s just bad policy optics.

    Discussion UNDRIP: land owners loosing their rights

    The FOI request denial is the weirdest part to me. Why shut people out of information unless there’s something controversial?

    Discussion Federal Government going back to court

    I’m less worried about lawsuits and more about trust. like once people feel the government can just bend rules when it suits them, it’s hard to get that trust back

    Discussion Canadian Home Owner Defends Home

    I agree, protecting home owners is important. We have gone way too soft on crime in recent times.

    Discussion Has inclusivity gone to far?

    It honestly just sounds like a poorly thought-out rule that’s now blowing up bigger than it needed to.
