the Walrus: Canada’s conversations

This article was written by an American for Americans. It compares the Finnish parental benefits system to that of the US. Canada is never mentioned once and the monetary amounts are all in USD.

Entered the US illegally and is now claiming asylum? He’s really hoping being a white conservative is going to stop him from going to jail.

“A speed camera that has recently spent more time on its side or in a pond than it has upright and functioning has clearly fallen well short of addressing the dangerous speeding on Parkside Drive,” Gholizadeh said.

It has issued over 68,000 speeding tickets and generated over $7 million in fines to date, according to Safe Parkside.

It has spent most of its time inactive and still generated $7 million in revenue?

That’s around $100 per person which is approximately the fine for going 17 km/h over the posted speed (17 × $3 per km/h over × 2 for being in a community saftey zone). The posted speed limit is 40 km/h. The average person is therefore going 57 km/h.

I did. I like to read opinions to see if any good points are raised. I don’t see any valid points in this article. The author derives Carney’s entire personality from a 5 minute photo op where a chef helps him cook some pancakes at the Calgary Stampede.

The author suggests Carney is an angry authoritarian who hates working class people due to his behaviour in that photo op. Specifically, things like not picking up a pancake he dropped on the ground, and saying the reason he couldn’t flip a pancake well was because the chef was making them way too big.

I’ve seen many valid criticisms of Carney, but this article isn’t one.

If you purposefully look for stuff to be mad at, you’ll find it. Guy can’t cook pancakes. It’s a good thing PM doesn’t mean Pancake Maker. Let’s see the author of this article be the head of a central bank or negotiate a trade deal with the European Union.

Oh, sorry.

The numbers, mason, what do they mean?

Why would Canada call the US a safe country for people seeking refugee status and also accept refugees from the US?

Why would Canada call the US a safe country for people seeking refugee status and also accept refugees from the US?

No. Canada has an agreement with the US that nobody entering Canada from the US will be seen as a refugee and will be deported back to the US. Vice versa is true with people entering the US from Canada.

It’s the Safe Third Country Agreement. They even have big red letters saying “yes this agreement is still in effect”.

Me, every time I try searching a Rust question.

That’s easy. Just do:

fn is_second_num_positive() -> bool {
    let input = "123,-45";
    let is_positive =
        input.split(',')
        .collect::<Vec<&str>>()
        .last()
        .unwrap()
        .parse::<i32>()
        .unwrap()
        .is_positive();
    is_positive
}

My young nephew has entered a phase where he says “I like x” where x is the last thing you said to him. I told him I was going to work and he said “I like going to work”. No, little buddy. You don’t.

It’s a 3% tax on tech companies. Carney did not agree to be a vassal state. He cancelled a would be tax that Trudeau said would take effect today in an attempt to sign a trade deal with the US, something the US agreed to negotiate before end of July. If there’s no deal by then he could always move forward with the tax.

I can’t believe “I would have millions of Canadians suffer” is getting upvotes…never change internet.

What would you do? Cut trade entirely? Start a war? Millions of Canadians will suffer over a 3% tax on Facebook?

I’m not sure pissing off bullies leads to fair deals either. I’m thinking Carney isn’t trying to get a good deal, but to avoid a trade war. Hell, Trump could order air strikes on Canada. He did it with Iran. Probably best not to piss him off. $2 billion in tax would be great but the government can also just print $2 billion if they really wanted to.

I don’t like it either, but stroking Trump’s ego and not doing anything to set him off is probably a better strategy than telling him to go fuck himself. Although I really really hope it works out. If Carney doesn’t get a win the Liberals are going to be replaced real quick.

Same with Turkish oil wrestling.

“Why are you guys oiled up in nothing but leather shorts?”

“It’s…a sport”

“Why is your hand down his shorts?”

“…it’s how you win.”

[Canada] has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," Trump said.

Taxing Meta, Apple, and Amazon for business they do in Canada is an attack on the United States?

The government is almost entirely in control of education and pay for doctors. Canada ranks 75 in the world in doctors per capita in-between Qatar and Colombia. The United States ranks 40 and is probably the most capitalistic country in the world.
