BC tabled its budget yesterday and overall I'm pleased. More support for low income families, elimination of student loan debt, more money for modular housing for the homeless, all in a balanced budget. The wild card is the projection that the massive costs associated with ICBC are managed going forward, which is a big if, and that housing continues to be hot, which is less of a big if.
There have been a bunch more since the last time I went on and on about it, but I never bothered to post any- it's just piling on at this point. The country's justice system has definitively been established as broken.
I'm casting a vote for anyone who runs on a justice system reform platform. Not just the shitty little token peso variety reform... I'm talking serious reforms.
With all the handouts and safeguards hard working people of Canada provide for people in tough times (deserving) and for f**kwads (undeserving)... if you can't make it in Canada without injuring or killing someone in a criminal way... then you can't make it anywhere- you're a complete loser.
Like... here's a shithead... trafficking 27,500 fentanyl pills... that gets off because the judge wasn't sure if the drug sniffing police dog sat or not.

Just curious, what you would like to see? Harper tried to get tough and was just dragged to court when someone did not like the law. You can pass all the laws you want, but if the judges always seem to side more on the lenient side of sentencing, and then the parole board is much the same way. It would seem to be the judges that hand out lenient sentences are more the problem, same with the parole board.
I'm not sure how the system is fixed. Trudeau doesn't have the backbone to fix anything. We might be the only country that has yet to tell these ISIS assholes (male and female) that you are not coming home...I mean if Trudeau cannot stand up to traitors and terrorist, he sure as hell isn't even going to attempt to fix the system. Hey, it's great to see he passed a bill that allows cops to pull over a fellow after returning empties to the beer store...we all know that law will be struck down soon.
Pretty dismissive of sexual assault victims to apply this language to a political dispute. Disgusting that it was tweeted, disgusting that it was posted.

If the Huff ComPost is running with this it must be accurate. Good news is that Mr. dress up will most certainly screw up before October again. Nice hair though...
Oh good, another man speaking for a woman while calling himself a feminist.
Since the government has fully lifted solicitor-client privilege and cabinet confidentiality, how about we wait until we hear what Wilson-Raybould has to say today?

Vancouver must be ground 0 of the anti-vaxxer and definitely idiot movement...
I don’t actually think that Vancouver is ground zero of the antivaxxers. I would suspect that some of the more cloistered, so to speak, communities in the interior would be higher. It was an unfortunate series of events that led to this pocket of infection, but that’s what people need to realize - where immunization rates are not high enough AND there is an exposure, there will be trouble.

I actually don't think the proposal goes anywhere near far enough. I think vaccinations should absolutely be mandatory. More than mandatory. I think it should be illegal not to get your kids vaccinated and I think kids who are being prevented from getting them by their parents should be removed by authorities and vaccinated against parents' wishes. Public safety normally always comes before individual rights. I don't know why that shouldn't 100% be the case here, where it's actually MORE important than in most cases where we completely accept that concept.

I have no issue with kids being barred from attending public school if not vaccinated, but "removed by authorities and vaccinated against their parents wishes" sounds a little, I don't know, INSANE.

Not as insane as allowing rampant, deadly, preventable diseases from coming back into society and risking innocent lives just because some parents are too irresponsible and idiotic to do the bare minimum to keep that from happening. Not even close. Keeping unvaccinated kids out of school doesn't protect society from them. Not unless the kids are also banned from all public spaces, which obviously is a much worse option than making vaccinations a legal requirement.
Sometimes drastic measures must be taken to save innocent lives.

forcing someone, much less a child, to do anything to their body against their will goes against every fundamental human right. look, I get it. I don't want this shit coming back either. But you do it through education.
