Good? 140$ per night for a hotel room is roughly what I would have expected, it's not like this government (or the Conservatives) would ever consider building and operating their own housing, so this is the only option...

I imagine the problem here is that we need more government workers hired to process asylum seekers, but once again would we expect the Conservative government (the one that has been on and off criticising the number federal workers we have) to actually hire more people to fix that?

I'm so tired of reading these low effort "news" pieces

Well of course not. These game studios were selling games at 60-80$ each. Microsoft bought them, then started providing the all the games for a flat fee of 15$ per month.

I assumed their strategy was to lose money in the medium term while they worked on getting people used to playing games on subscription. Where they make their money back is when they stop outright selling games at full price and make them only available on subscription, and then they slowly start increasing that monthly subscription cost.

In order for that to work they need a large library and like 5-10 years.

It started good, but then started to fall into typical conservative taking points.

He correctly identified that the problem started when Canada sold off crown corporations, but then attributed the problem to over regulation of these newly private cooperation.

Somehow he also called CBC a monopoly in there, which is a wild jump.

My main take away from this video is the best solution is to deregulate (the other points were "increase competition", but at this point that's like politians saying they will create more nurses or doctors, unless you also state a plan I assume you're just blowing smoke). His argument for how deregulating airlines or banking or ISPs would make things better for us didn't really exist.

Regulations might make it hard to start a new bank, so I'll give him that. But I have a hard time seeing how regulations is what's preventing new ISPs or grocery stores from cropping up.

Overall in my opinion it's a captivating video that lacks any substance, which is typical for politicans, but also disappointing because you don't often get to hear them talk about something for over 10 minutes where they actually do have time to explain a plan properly.

Which is why Conservatives are pushing for it so hard

What percentage increase do you feel is required for surge to be a reasonable definition. A 35% increase feels surge-y me.

The closest working class party we have at the federal level is the NDP, while the Conservatives are farthest.

If you at all care about the working class you shouldn't ever vote conservative.

For anyone who purchased a house in the last 5ish years sure. Much longer than that and they are sitting on a whole lot of equity.

Yes if they sold the house they would have 1/2 - 1 million dollars in cash and be homeless. But that's a lot of dollars better than all the other people who currently also don't own a home and don't have all that cash.

Which is sorta the point the article is trying to make.

Good news, this shit has zero impact on the game you're trying to watch.

Which is why banning it is so stupid. If you're such a huge bigot that being reminded that people who are different from you exist, and that reminder is enough to ruin hockey for you then that's on you.

He's a dem who doesn't seem to share any views with other Dems.

He singlehandedly delayed or outright prevented many large bills from going through.

When Bidens term is looked back upon, Manchin will be the force that prevented Biden from pushing though some of his more progressive plans.

First past the post incentiveses two party systems, which is why people are desperate for ranked ballot, or something that can allow other parties to exist.

A poorly written opinion piece. It's great to see the globe and mail hasn't changed.

I paid for Reddit gold back in the day, I really enjoyed the ability to selectively gift gold to comments.

When they replaced gold with coins I ended up unsubscribing. The coins felt like they devalued what gold actually was.

I think it's fair that they want to revisit the feature, but shutting off a revenue stream a month after they made such a big deal about charging for API access, it feels to me like they are lacking common direction and priorities within the company...
