Yes, seems the final outcome they want is serfs with them as overlords. Can't get cheaper workers than that system.

No wonder they wanted to ban the Diary of Anne Frank. I'm wondering how many are hiding their friends and neighbors now.

I think it's a good thing, but rude and bad behavior shouldn't be tolerated. They need a really good speaker of the house. I don't want to see adults acting like out of control toddlers.

Seems UPC learned nothing from the measles outbreak.

I wonder why they didn't either put it out to tender to build the ferries earlier, or wait longer to get them built. They have to know this wouldn't go over well. It's especially bad as we have a fairly high unemployment rate.

So the money will stay in China, if was built here in Canada, workers wages would have been spent in Canada, probably the profits made by the shipbuilding company, would have been spent in Canada. Why not just get them made at somewhere like Seaspan when they are able to do it?

I think we should just clone him.

I guess some immigrants are less immigranty than others. Bunch of hypocrites.

2023 was 15 million hectares of forest burned. We were up to 3.7 million hectares by June 12. Weather forecasts don't look good for western Canada, July expected to be high risk and August wildfire activity is expected to increase.

If we don't find a way to hugely decrease our use of oil and gas, extreme weather events will get worse and longer. No good scenario for future generations. We do some oil and gas but not as much as we currently use.

Unless it's all green power, it will just accelerate climate change. Eventually a severe weather event will take them out.

I hike a lot, I get so frustrated when people leave garbage behind. I pick it up and pack it out. I don't have a problem with First Nations doing this. It is disrespectful to leave garbage or not follow the rules.

I feel the same, there seems to be an attitude that it's their money to spend as they like.

We are told by the conservatives over and over, they will save us money. The party that has the best fiscal record since 1981 is actually the NDP, by far. Seems good social programs benefit us rather than costing us excessive tax money. Voters need to rethink how they look at the NDP.

Wildfire fighting is dangerous in any capacity. Some lose their lives. They deserve to be well paid.

We have our anti-vaccine people who have caused these measles out breaks. I think the majority of us are pro-vaccine. We aren't going to be changed by the mad antics going on in America. We believe in science and common sense.

Depressing and sad to even think about it.

Bad idea, it can contaminate groundwater water, cause earthquakes because pressure is caused by injecting large amounts of fluid underground, damage well casings, it can have widespread health and environmental impacts. Just as a side note, we can only live 3 days without potable water.

An online search didn't show that Smith has any children. Is this the reason future of the planet doesn't seem to be of any concern to her? She's only interested in the here and now?

I was unable to contact Competition Bureau by phone, so I sent a message to find out if the buying up of our vet clinics can be looked into by them. I'll let you know when I hear back.

Yes, they've gone way too far. This needs to stop.

More toxic slurry that will make it's way into creeks and rivers. We need less intensive livestock farming on our planet, not more.

Why can't we remove the 100% tariff on these Chinese BYD cars in Canada? They are reliable, have better batteries and people really like them. Australian sales are expected to double, lots of people own them in Europe. It would give Canadians an affordable choice.

If you are a pet owner like me, you need to watch the CBC Marketplace video - Cause for Paws. Corporate ownership of our vet clinics and the rising prices that affect us.
comment in response to
post
CBC Marketplace did a special on corporate takeovers of Canadian vet clinics called "cause for Paws". You can watch it on CBC Gem or YouTube. It's very concerning for us pet owners.

Berkshire Partners are not associated to Warren Buffet, they are a Private Equity firm.
comment in response to

Berkshire Partners did according to an article in Canadian Lawyer. It does include Canada. It was a private equity acquisition of Canadian VetStrategy during the pandemic.

Yes, you send in information on bats you have on your property. The other issue is that the insect population is way down, we used to have nesting swallows, but this year, there are none. Normally, we have a lot of mosquitos, but those numbers are down too, along with bees and other insects.

Making doctors take on more patients and increasing the number of patients they see in a day won't make up for a shortage of doctors. Fixing our Canadian medical system must be a priority. Maybe it should be federal with new legislation that will ensure it is properly funded.

The Interrior of B.C., Canada.

I agree. Maybe it should be a federal healthcare system with some really good legislation to protect the funds.

It's so ironic considering millions of trees were lost to the mountain pine beetle back in the 90's due to monoculure. 18 million hectares were affected. There were dead pines everywhere here in BC. It was awful, miles of brown forest. Amazingly, some of the dead trees are still standing.

There's a regional office in Vancouver. I'll call them tomorrow and see what I can find out.

Yes, it's Canadian. They are supposed to promote completion and protect consumers.

It's almost like they approve.

If Canada is so awful, perhaps America would be more to Skippy's liking.

I have 2 rescue dogs. People have no choice when it comes to vet care. These corporations know this and take advantage. The competition Act is supposed to protect us from this.
