Wow.
"The FCAC's 2020-21 COVID-19 Well-being Survey showed that approximately 2 per cent of used an online non-bank lender or company in the previous 12 months."

Payday loans are crazy , often close to 60% p.a. (sixty!) if you include the fees. Charging above 60% is in . However, loans of up to $1500 are exempt, so the typical payday loan could charge even more.

absolutely @s_guilbeault is correct. , are among the worlds richest people, and we have close to greatest emissions per capita. If we refuse to reduce emissions, how can we ask poor developing world citizens and countries to reduce? .

The single best question to ask of a -supporter is “do you feel that he has helped you personally?” If they say yes, ask them how and to keep it as a personal example.

Many people can’t answer but many, like that support the are often economically marginalized, lonely, and have found community.

the debate around private spending has been settled legally. The found in an 880 page ruling that more privately paid care would result in more waiting and worse care.”

“In a recent survey of 1,000 between 16 and 25, more than three-quarters reported that is detrimental to their ; one-third said it impeded their day-to-day functioning. This is a rational response. Someone in Gen Z easily has 60 years ahead of them—they’ll live through the worst of Canada’s forecasted climate tolls. The average Canadian oil and gas executive, meanwhile, is 58; the average federal MP, 50.”

“In 2005, Australian philosopher Glenn Albrecht first coined the term to describe the feeling of being homesick while still at home. It’s that feeling of loss and melancholia that kicks in as your home changes before your eyes, and it will come to define the deep emotional and psychological distress that more will confront as global warming drives their past recognition.”

My heart goes out to any users in . I know what it's like to live in wildfire country. Please be safe and coordinate with your neighbours, but most of all - stay calm and civil.

To any on here, be a compassionate compatriot and consider donating to the emergency response via the link I added above. As much as I like coffee this week, I can forgo a few if it means saving someone's home.

Regular turning to 'lunch bucket populists' like Frank Stronach and Conrad Black for pearls of wisdom.

Frank Stronach: "Canadians need to rise up and fight for their prosperity."

As usual thanks for nothing National Post.

Now and then my feed spits out some barf and I laugh.

*Oh yeah. this dipstick*.

I follow three idiot ... *ironically*... via bird.makeup. Jordan hatephobe Peterson, this guy, and Danielle Smith.

*Why? They're idiots. *

Mostly so I can read upon some dim witted ideological ramblings, shake my head, then happily get on with my day, safe in knowing that that was probably the dumbest shit I will read all fucking day. Also, know thy enemy.

- still OK despite these 3. Sorry.
