Opposition to bike lanes and traffic control is about nothing other than class.
If there's one thing the rich won't stand for, it's being mildly inconvenienced for the sake of making life better for a bunch of dirty poors and their dirty neighbourhoods.

I know poli-sci 100 was great, and libertarianism can be very titillating for an adolescent boy... but, seriously: grow up.
Suggesting that guns are a human right is perhaps the most juvenile and vapid idea I've come across on here.

Repeating talking points written by American lobbyists? Is Doug also lobbying the EU for them?
Telling us American politicians are "furious" like that should matter to us? Why should we care what the politicians of a corrupt, failing state care about our laws?

Imagine being a Ukrainian refugee, landing in Edmonton where you come to learn out the provincial government is running a Crimea-style separatist psy-op.

Interac and the credit card companies forbid retailers from directly passing their fees to customers in the form of a service charge, so retailer has to bake these fees into their retail price.
So, even if you pay cash, you are still paying for Interac fees. Nice little scam for Canada's banks.

Or, how they use that monopoly to make us pay twice for their service.
First we pay our bank fees for the privilege of having their card.
Then, Interac charges the retailer transaction fees when you use the card.
Those fees are around 2% and up, which make up part of the price you pay.

I wonder if the article mentions that Interac, a partnership between the big banks,has an effective monopoly on payment processing in Canada?

Things people are hopeful for when meeting PP:
1. Tax breaks for corporations and the rich, paid for by...
2. Social Service Cuts
3. More pandering (Dani Smith-style)to the 20% of Canadians who are anti-vaxx, flat-earth believing separatists and MAGA lunatics - PP's base.

So, the Walrus is now spewing corporate propaganda for banks and the credit card industry disguised as news?
Yeesh. Sleazy on so many levels. I would expect this from Postmedia but you guys too?

I suppose you had a nice chat about strike-busting with this overpaid CEO?
When was the last time you sat down to hear from the workers? Or should they just shut up and take it until it's time to legislate away their right to strike again?
