In Canada if a scanned price doesn't match the shelf price, the item is free if the shelf price is under $10, or $10 off the item if the shelf price is over $10. It's a voluntary program but almost all major chains have signed on.

That would cost money. Much better to invoice the government a few million to move a painting or fix a toilet and take a vacation that actually fix the systems they're in charge of.

Lotta people glancing over that list of 4 times Habeas Corpus was suspended and not realizing the most recent one was used to build concentration camps for people of Asian descent on American soil.

So as the US falls to tyranny, your solution is to finally do something about the one thing Americans have that exists literally for the purpose of fighting tyranny?
Choosing the right side is literally a no brainer and somehow you still boned it.

I mean, the way property ownership is manipulated so anybody with multiple residences that sells one can easily claim it's their primary for "tax purposes" means even that would have loophole you could drive a lifted F150 through.

The fact that a politician can lose his riding and a week later displace another just-elected MP *in a completely different province* is the modern democratic facade laid bare. If you don't live there, you can't run for office there. This should be a fully uncontroversial take.

I've never spewed so much Leninist theory in normal everyday conversations, *without pushback*, in my entire life....even up here in Canada. Even some of the scary words slipped through the filter and didn't phase people.
The conditions are primed for revolution.

I'd argue that slashing education is the biggest single influence. An uneducated population is highly susceptible to propaganda, and in the modern misinformation landscape they have no chance against it.

But...we don't need 30 kinds. The issue here is that families are struggling to afford food, never mind work 1 doll into the budget, with it now going up "a couple bucks"...which also amounts to what, 20% increase? I don't know how much dolls cost.

This. There's already talk of an Alberta seat stepping down, but the bye election call is in Carney's hands and he can wait up to 6 months to call it, meaning they'd be down another vote.
