While I love this idea, I'm concerned lobbyists would somehow figure out a way to get the Government to consider ads a service to internet users putting the tax burden on us. Imagine getting an ad followed by an email with a GST bill submitted to you and the CRA.

What's that expression?

'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 50,000 times I become a rabid terrorist supporting gullible rube'.

Lol, I mean, the link you provided... to wikipedia... says they've been 'accused' of being right-wing or non-partisan so I guess take your pick who to believe? Their mission statement seems pretty respectable to me.

I am a younger Canadian and want to put more thought into investing, and investing in Canada. What would you recommend? in c/[email protected]

A house is always worth a house.

It was this tautology I took issue with. I do agree that there are many housing related ways to invest that are far less susceptible to market manipulation.

Except when the bubble bursts, or the market turns.

Buying a house now just before an election, where the subsequent Government will almost certainly take drastic steps to alleviate the housing crisis, is begging to lose significant value to depreciation.

Buy a house to have a home? Absolutely. Buying one solely as an investment? I'd wait a year to see how the dust settles first.

Hamas ‘quietly drops’ thousands of deaths from casualty figures in c/[email protected]

If you were really curious you might have bothered to read the actual article. You would then know that the HJS is only one commenter in a list that also includes the Telegraph, and Honest Reporting within it. All of which are rated as right-leaning biased, but at least HonestReporting gets a "mostly-factual" from MBFC. The published data being criticized is from Hamas (and always has been).

The bias is good to be aware of, but the factuality is critical. Considering a left-biased Euronews published the same report I suspect there is some truth to the core facts being discussed.

Do you have any active lies? in c/[email protected]

No, it's a question.
