Why would people fake tip Trump propaganda in Canada?

It's Pizza the Hutt. For a cheese grater, you're not very up to date on your shredded cheese based characters.

He has so much money he could lose a billion dollars every month and still have billions left in 2055.

That must make Putin so sad, he was trying so hard.

Maybe they're just getting people to pre pay for their own detention/deportation.

⅔ of their plan sounds excellent, but any plan where "the" makes up a third of the words is missing some real substance.

This is so stupid. Regardless of whether you're for or against oil exports in general, Prince Rupert doesn't make sense for tankers. It would be like building a depot for semi tankers at the end of a long winding road through a remote park when you have a perfectly good depot at the end of a freeway an insignificant distance away.

No they're too big, instantly doubling the population wouldn't go well. At most a Euro style partnership if a few more western states broke off.

Exactly, this isn't helping the lowest paid workers anyways as tipped workers are inherently making above minimum wage (except possibly in Quebec). Why should for example a construction labourer making $25/hr pay more in taxes than a server bringing in $100/day in tips (~$30/hr)? If we really want to help the lowest wage workers (and to a lesser extent, all working class) the personal exemption should be much closer to the annual income from full-time minimum wage work.

To me the Bay kinda feels like a spread out Winners but with way more clearance signs and a perfume section you have to walk through to exit the mall.

Anecdotally it doesn't seem to be a significant drop, at least not everywhere. The ferries to Vancouver Island were crammed full of Americans on their memorial weekend.

If you were paying the average rent on a studio of $1456 (from CMHC, Oct 2024) and your landlord increased rent in January by the legal maximum of 3% you'd be spending an extra $524.16 in 2025 right there. And with this wage increase only coming into effect in June that $900 is only an extra $525 for 2025. Enjoy that extra 7¢/month, best of luck finding something you can actually buy with that. Are 5¢ candies still a thing?
