It is literally the same party federally and provincially.

Several provinces are trying to detach, namely Alberta for Alberta reasons.

Does no one remember the Ashley Madison leaks including .gc.ca emails?

Reminds me of the Boston Tea Party. It was in solidarity with the Great Bengali Famine caused by the East India Company.

There's a HUGE lobbying effort to convince the people in power that this is a good idea. Lots of tech-surveillance companies bidding for this to go through, so everyone is forced to use their services. You think identity theft is bad now? Wait until you need to put your ID on the internet and that gets leaked.

This sounds like antitrust.

"This is my favourite Indian restaurant." It has always been my favourite too. I think of John every time I go there. He was old, but passed away suddenly.

It's weird how the strangest things like this stick with you.

I presume there would be an employer with unionized employees who uses Manulife as their insurance provider.

A smaller company ClaimSercure had been pulling this shit with Rexall. Is it time for unions to test Canada's antitrust laws?

Unlikely. Since Service Ontario deals with health data, it'll likely be attached to a government system and data centres. Staples wouldn't touch this deal if they were responsible for the IT due to the liability.

It's likely only a real estate and staffing agreement.

Kinda cool, but heavy strobe warning for any light sensitive people out there.

I'd rather leave it to the experts who study this stuff.

The only one I've heard of is called the "triple bottom line". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bottom_line

Does this not say it all? "The report estimates that students from India alone will provide Ontario colleges with $2 billion in operating revenue for the 2023-2024 school year. That's slightly more than those colleges receive from the provincial government."

Immediate impact:

• wealth tax.

Medium term:

• death tax.
• nonprofit land developments.
• redefinition of the goal of a public corporation from maximizing profit for shareholders to something that makes sense.

Long term:

• effective antitrust legislation, policy, and enforcement.
• worker owned co-ops
• civic education

Edit: I forgot unions and labour protection in immediate impact.

A ton of competition and local universities are freaking out over the loss of international students money with the federal changes.

Have you tried looking at various operations/analyst type roles in Toronto outside your usual search? You'd probably do decently well in those roles. Even project management.

Get paid to*. This is labour and we're all exploited.

Companies like this often hire external consultants to do the layoffs. They literally have no skin in the game.

The Toronto horse cops carried around trading cards for their horses as a part of a PR campaign. Ask a cop for one!

Just another way for you to be disappointed by the police. Can't even do PR right.

Yellowknife has had a housing crisis for decades. Bad choice.

If every single Canadian had to swear allegiance to the king when you become an adult (as opposed to just immigrants), we would not have a king.

I dread the day I need to take care of my parents to that degree. Parents in the burbs, neither of the kids drive. It's at least transitable and my parents were decent people. There's still trauma but it's healing.

Still, how do you balance work to pay rent with the need to care for ailing loved ones? Something's going to give when the boomers start becoming disabled en masse.
