The First Nations never had our concept of owning land. The land owns us. So we should respect it - or it will all end up looking like a strip mine eventually.

YES YES YES. Use LVT to replace one of the awful taxes Canadians gripe about (maybe GST, maybe income tax?)
Most people (I would say 90%) are not what we would call 'political junkies'.
The only time they seriously think about anything political is when it effects them directly.
I probably devote more time than the average schmuck to politics because I operate my own business and I can set my own hours (plus, fall-winter is quiet in my line of work).
But for most people who work 12 months of the year, they are too tired at the end of the workday to care about whether or not fascism is slowly taking over, because the kids need to get to karate class, dinner needs to be made, and they need to sit down and forget about the horrible incident at work today. So I get why most people only really pay attention to politics when it is dressed up as entertainment.
It is a sad indictment of society that life is this way for so many of us, because it just allows the powers that be to keep their boots firmly on our collective necks.
Crossposting to r/fuckcars....lol
My mileage definitely varies, friend.
One set of my grandparents were children in England in the 1940s, and experienced their homes being bombed during Nazi bombing raids over London.
My other set of grandparents were a bit older and raised in Canada, but both proudly served their country against the Nazi regime. Grandfather was an RCAF navigator and grandma was a nurse.
You don't negotiate with Nazis. You shoot them. Dead.
If you don't, they will simply do the same to everyone else.
Not even Nazis? We literally had a war about that.
Haha, that (poker night with the boys type thing) is probably an exception. I was mostly talking about casinos.
The 'house' in gambling terms is the establishment in which you are gambling. It's usually not an actual house.
I don't think it is functionally any different; just applied to a different asset being sold. Most capital gains are from property sales, aren't they?
Lady was already blind by voting that way. No sympathy. Enjoy hell.
