Using photos or videos of politicians to make satirical pictures or videos about said politicians using AI would presumably fall under this.

Are we making satire illegal then? Will comedy not be an acceptable means of criticizing our political leaders?

"In Canada, we waste your money in the name of empty platitudes."

In Germany, lawyers are considered civil servants. In the common law tradition (US/UK/Canada et cetera) lawyers are considered the people's defence against the government. That's why a saturation of lawyers in a common law country is not the same as in other systems.

Are people still calling Mark Carney a conservative or are we done with that?

These teachers must all be overcome with shame and never leave their apartments.

We cannot go on like this. End of story. Adults need to breach Ottawa and start pulling bureaucrats out of that city by the ears.

Yes! People often talk about the rise in government spending but that only tells part of the story. A huge issue is that budgets have increasingly moved from discretionary spending to mandatory spending. There is no room for governments to "do" anything productive.

Canada would have a similar wealth gap if all of our rich people didn't run to live in the US. Our country is more equal because our "inequality" is our greatest export.

Actually, the best way to achieve economic security is through prosperity -- which can only be done by reducing the role of the government in business.

Store owner: "I am selling toilet paper for 1 cent a roll. I don't know why I always have a shortage!" Sane person: "Raise your prices." Labour markets are no different. Raise wages and there will no longer be a shortage.

Heartbreaking. Every year Alabama creeps farther up the list. In a few years every US state will blow every Canadian province out of the water. In 10 years the United States will feel like a conpletely different world. We only have ourselves to blame.

There's a labour shortage because companies are not raising wages to fill the roles. Raising prices is how shortages are addressed in a free market. Does it help business to use foreign workers? Sure. But let's not pretend that this doesn't suppress wages. That's the point.

In any free market -- including labour markets -- a shortage is typically addressed by raising prices. If there is a shortage of toilet paper, raise prices until there is not. The same thing applies to labour. If businesses raise prices (pay more), the roles will be filled.

One clear reason why government does not belong in the bedroom is because hearing a politician opine on what sexual positions are prohibited is an embarrassment. nitter.gq/Jess4Lowestoft/status/…

It’s like this in every democracy, and it’s the most blatant example of the results of older people voting and donating while younger people just stay home.

Check me out! We need to keep the conservatives UNITED to beat the NDP, and bifurcating everyone into 'leave' or 'remain' camps won't accomplish that. It isn't really the board's role to decide the direction of the party. That's for the members.

And the race is on! Very much looking forward to learning about other candidates and hearing from members across Alberta leading up to the AGM. Can find out more about me at tj4vp.ca

Grown men don't really care about their birthdays. If you get a "happy birthday" and a card that is sufficient.

Huge change from requiring LMIA's is that companies can now LAY OFF Canadians in order to hire cheaper foreigners. The middle class is in for a world of hurt.
